An appeal has gone out for assist- ance in quartering the members of Company | until adequate provision is made by the state or federal govern- ment. For some time, 119 boys who came here to serve the nation have been without comfortable beds. The government provides 75 cents a day for grub, but until the proper equip- ment arrives, there is no place for the boys to sleep. Bismarck must get busy and see that the “Sammies” are made comfort- able until mustered into federal sery- ice and proper quarters provided. .& Facilities at the armory are not ade- quate to care for the men properly. Bedding is needed badly. As soon as the federal government decides upon the date of mobilization and forwards the necessary supplies, Fort Lincoln can take care of both regiments. It seems unfortunate now that the | charging the home consumer prices halt .pasapgses.. influence with many BUT GERMANY PROTECTED HER MANUFACTURERS BY A HIGH TARIFF WALL. German export corporations were swhsidized by the government so that] § they could undersell and drive out! their competitors. The “trust” in Germany was not only legal, ‘but fostered by the gov- ernment to boost German export trade. The practice of selling prod- ucts abroad at less than cost, and high enough to make up the difference was encouraged by the German gov- ernment and submitted to by the Ger- man people without a murmur. German business men and bankers were allowed to operate in the United States on equal terms with Ame cans, BUT IN GERMANY AMERICAN BUSINDSS MEN ‘WHO BOUGHT \POTASH DEPOSITS WERE RUTH- LESSLY COMPELLED TO GIVE UP THEIR HOLDINGS WITHOUT PROFIT in order to preserve the Ger- man potash monopoly. Germany has no law making contracts inviolate such as exists in America. Since the war Germany has forfeit- ed these advantages and the allies have held several conferences to map out plans by which, after ‘the war, Germany will be deprived of her spe- cial privileges and made to do busi- ness throughout the world on equal terms This is what the Germans call the “economic blockade,” or the “war after the war.” They profess: horror at the thought, and everyone of their peace feelers on the subject of “free- dom of the seas” and “economic lio- erty of all nations” is designed to pre- vent the carrying out of these plans. At the same time Germany has said nothing about revising her own tariff laws or her atrocious patent laws, WHICH ROB ALL OTHER NATIONS and refuse adequate protection to for- eign inventors. Much of German “efficiency” is based on stolen patents of foreigners. Germany maintained many commer- cial outposts in America before the war. A large and powerful group of bankers in ‘New York and the German steamship interests are vitally inter- ested in the restoration of German privileges after the war. It means millions to them, So they are beginning their agita- tion to separate America from the allies in the peace conference. This group has powerful connections in mnay lines of business through finan- cial and racial affinities. newspapers and has friends and re- tainers in the United States senate. » The propaganda now in progress takes the form of attacks on England. She is charged with plots against American trade after the war. She is charged with keeping millions of men from the front. Second regiment was not mobilized at Fort Lincoln weeks ago. There is something wrong with a military system that permits boys to suffer inconveniences while waiting for the formality of being mustered into service. If neither state nor federal red tape can meet this emergency, it is up to the city of Bismarck. Liberia, the negro republic, has de- clared war on Germany. It is almost unanimous since China and Siam took the plunge too. ? GERMANY’S PROGRAM. Germany’s propaganda in the United States has been revived with a new object. ‘Having failed in her intrigues to prevent the United States from enter- ing the war, Germany hopes to create dissension in the peace council, soon- er or later to meet. Realizing that her plans for world domination and the annexation of ad- joining territory are now impossible of fullfilment, Germany's ruling classes are trying to save what they can out of the wreck. Above all, they want to restore the business’ and shipping advantages which Germany possessed before the war, which were fast giving her indus- trial supremacy. Through a combination of ruthless diplomacy and the neglect of other nations, Germany before the war en- foyed free entry into all the ports of the world on equal terms with every other nation, WHILE SHE DE- ED EQUAL INDUSTRIAL RIGHTS IN HER OWN COUNTRY AND HER COLONIES. eC Over Russia she exercised an indus- trial mastery through shrewd com- mercial treaties, which made Russia a business province of Germany. Rus- sia dared not abrogate these old treaties. Nearly all the import trade of Russia was handled through Ger- man ‘firms and much of it through German ports. In France, Germany enjoyed the most favored privileges wrung from France in the war of 1870. German business men were gobbling up French trade and manufacturers, BUT FRENCH CAPITALISTS WERE NOT ALLOWED TO PENETRATE GER- MANY. ‘ Free trade England and all her col- eames business with the natives, The anti-English talk is the hall mark of pro-Germanism. All these forces are consciously or unconscious- ly working for the big German finan- cial and steamship interests in the United States. Their newspapers, the German so- cialist crowd who dominate the ridl- culous little socialist political machine in the United States, the foreign lan- guage press and the organizations of pacifists are all doing the work of the German export “cartels.” President ‘Wilson in his Flag day speech once and for all committed the United States against any Ger- man peace fakes. Those elements which seize every cue from Berlin to clamor for peace terms, to ask “what the war is all about,” and to criticize the allies ot this country have no longer any ex- cuse. of ignorance. The president made the issues plain. Those who refuse to toe the mark to the American program are flirting with treason and the source of their inspiration can usually be found sin the German financial interests. * BIG GUNS. One of the best signs the Ameri- can war department has fully realized its tremendous job is the announce ment that literally ‘billions of dollars are to be spent upon artillery of all calibers. Next to ships and aeroplanes, comes big guns. It is the cannon and mor- tars that pound the enemy trenches to pieces, making infantry charges possible, It is the superiority of heavy artillery that counts when guns face guns: The‘best story of the war, illustrating this point, is told of a German officer in the Prussian guards, who said: “Ve are beaten mine frient. Ger- man guns go‘bang—bang—bang—bang —slowly here, there, sometimes. Eng- guns, ach Goit! go bangbangbang bangbangbangbang everywhere _for- ever.” When our armies get into action on the western front we don't want our guns to go bang and then once more bang here, there, occasionally. We want them to pour a perfect torrent of shot and shell into the enemy ranks right straight along the line without Fause, heur after hour. That’s the way battles are won and it ts the only argument the German THE HILLMAN 4y E.HILLIPS SYNOPSIS.

Then | they drank together, the older man and his servant. Still John never moved. Jennings drained his glass, placed the decanter by his master’s side, and withdrew. “So the polson’s still there, broth- er?” Stephen asked. “And will be so long as I live,” John “confessed gloomily, “Fur all that, Pl not drink your toast.” “Why not?” “There was a little girl—you saw her when you were in London. She Is married now, but I think of her some- i times; and when I do, you. and old Jennings seemeto me like a couple of blithering idiots. cursing things too wonderful for you to understand!” Stephen made no protest. Vor a time he smoked fa silence. Curiously enough, as they sat together, some of the grim flerceness seemed to have passed from his expr jon and settled upon John, More than once, ,as he looked across at his younger brother, it almost seemed us if there was some- thing of self-repronch in his question: ing look. “You dined at the ordinary in Mar- ket Ketton?” Stephen asked at last. “I did.” “Then you heard the news?” “Who could help it?” John muttered. “There wasn’t wuch else talked about.” “Bailiff Henderson has been over here,” Stephen went on. “There’s a small army of painters and decorators coming down to the castle next week. You saw the announcement of the wedding in the morning Post, maybe?” John assented without words. Ste- in his “education” of John.

CHAPTER XXI—John repeats the prince’s words to Louise. She tells him they are true. CHAPTER XXill. It was a room of silence, save for the hissing of the green logs that burned on the open hearth, and for the slow movements of Jennings as he cleared the table, Straight and grim in his chair, with the newspaper by. his side, Stephen Strangewey sat smoking stolidly, Opposite to him, al- most as grim, equally silent, sat John. “Things were quiet at Market Ket- ton today, then, John?” Stephen asked at last. “There was nothing doing,” was the brief reply. That, for the space of a quarter of an hour or so, was the sole attempt at conversation between the two broth- ers. Then Jennings appeared with a decanter of wine and two glasses, which he reverently filled. Stephen held his up to the light and looked at it critically. John’s remained by his side, unnoticed. “A glass for yourself, Jennings,” Stephen ordered. “I thank- ye kindly, sir,” the old man replied. He fetched a glass from the side- board, filled it, and held it respectfully before him, “It's the old toast,”. Stephen sald glumly. “You know it!” “Aye, Master Stephen!” the servant assented. “We've drunk it together for many a long year. I give it ye of today thoroughly understands and appreciates. pow with all my heart—confusion to phen smoked vigorously for a few mo- ments. ‘Every now and then he glanced across to where John was sit- ting. Once again the uneasiness was in his eyes, an. uneasiness which was almost self-reprouch. John moved a little restlessly in his chair, 3 * “Let’s drop it, Stephen,” he begged. “We both know the facts. She is go- ing to marry him, and that’s the end of it. Fill your glass up again, Here's mine untouched. I'll drink your toast with you, if you'll leave out the little girl who was kind to me, I'll give it to you myself-ycoafusion to all wom- en!” te“, & f- “Confusion to—” Stephen began. “What on eart!: is that?” They both heard it at the same time —the fuint beating of a motor engine In the distance, John set down his glass, There was a strange look in his eyes, i “There are more cars passing along the road now. than in the old days,” he muttered; |‘but that’s a queer sound, It reininds one—good heavens, how It remiuis one!" There was a look of agony in his face for a moment. Then once more he raised his glass to his lips. “It’s passed out of hearing,” Stephen sald, “It’s someone on the way to the castle, maybe.” Still thelr glasses remained suspend- ed in midair, The little garden gate had opened and closed with a click; there were footsteps upon the flinty walk, “It's someone coming here!” John cried hoarsely. “Why can’t they keep away? It's two years ago this week since I brought her up the drive and you met ‘us at the front door. Two years ago, Stephen! Who can it be?” They heard the front door open, they heard Jennings’ voice raised in unusual and indignant protest. Then their own door was suddenly flung wide, and a miracle happened. John's glass slipped from his fingers, and the wine streamed out across the carpet. He shrank back, gripping at the table- cloth. Stephen turned his head, and sat as if turned to store. “John,” she faltered, “it Isn't the car this time—it is I who have brokén down! IT cannot go on. I have no pride left. I have come to you. Will you help me?” He found himself upon his feet. Ste- phen, too, had arisen. She stood be- tween the two men, and glanced frown one to the other. Then she looked more closely into John’s face, peering forward with a little start of pain, and her eyes were filled with tears, “John,” she cried, “forgive me! You were so cruel that morning, and you seemed to understand so little. Don't you really understand, even now? Have you ever known the truth, I won- der?” “The truth!” be echoed hoarsely “Don't we all know that? Don’t we all know that he is to give you your rights, that you are coming—” “Stop!” she ordered him, He obeyed, and for a moment there was silence—a tense, strained silence, “Joho,” she continued at last, “I have no rights to receive from the prince of Seyre, He owes me nothing. Listen! Always we have seen life dif- feréntly, you and I. To me there ts only oue great thing, and that is love; and beyond that nothing counts, I tried to love the prince before you came, and I thought I did, and I prom- ised him at last, because I believed that he loved me and that I loved him, and that if so it was his right. Look down the road, John! On that night I was on my way to the castle; but I broke down, did in the morning the world was all ‘different, and I went back to London. It has been different ever since, ang there has_never been The Great American Home! “Frank ! SOME ONE : WANTS ON. .THE PHONE —" * 1 - On FRANK! . You% HOW MANY TIMES MusT |” 1.

His| eyes were filled with fierce question: ing. Stephen sat there, and there was wonder in his face, too. “When you came to me that morn- ing,” she went on, “you spoke to me in a strange tongue. I couldn’t under- stand you, you seemed so far away. I wanted to tell you the whole truth, but I didn’t. Perhaps I wasn’t sure— perhaps it seemed to me that it was best ‘for me to forget, If ever I had eared, for the ways of our lives seemed so far apart. You went away, and ] drifted on; but it wasn’t true that 1 ever promised to marry the prince. No one had any right to put that para graph in the newspaper !” “But what are you doing here, then?” John asked honrsely, “Aren’t you on your way to the castle?” She came a little nearer; her arms went around his neck, “You dear stupid!” she cried. “Haven't I told you? I've tried to de without you, and I can’t. I've come for you. Come outside, please! It’s quite light. The moon’s coming over the hills, I want to walk up the orchard. I want to hear just what I've come to hear!” He passed out of the room in 8 dream, under the blossom-laden boughs } of the orchard, and up the hillside; toward the church, The dream passed. | but Louise remained, flesh and blood. ; Her lips were warm and her arms held him almost feverishly. “In that Ittle church, John, and} quickly—so quickly, please!” she whis- pered. oe © © 8 e@ @ Jennings hastened in to where Ste phen was sitting alone. “Mr. Stephen,” he cried, “what's coming to us? There’s that Frenck hussy outside, and a motorcar in the drive, and the chauffeur’s asking where he’s to sleep. The woman wants to know whether she can have the same bedroom for her mistress as last time!” “Then why don’t you go and see about it, you old fool?” Stephen re Plicd. “Pick up those pleces' of glass there, lay the cloth, and get some sup per ready.” Through the open doorway they heard Aline’s voice in the hall, “Meester Jennings, will you please come and help me with the luggage?” “Get along with you!” Stephen or dered. “You'd better hurry’ up with the supper, too. The boy Tom can see to the luggage.” The old man recovered himself slowly. “You're taking ‘em in, sir—taking “em into the house?” he gasped. “What about that toast?” Stephen refilled two glasses. “We'd better alter it a little,” he declared. “Here's confusion to most women, but luck to John and his wife!” “Mr. John and his wife!” Jennings repeated, as he set his glass down empty. “I'll just see that them sheets is aired upstairs, sir, or that hussy will be making eyes at Tom!” He departed, and Stephen: was left alone. He sat and listened to the sound of luggage being taken upstairs, to Aline’s little torrent of directions, good-humored but profuse, to the sound of preparations in the kitchen. In the room the tall clock ticked sol- emnly; a fragment of the log every now and then fell upon the hearth. Presently he rose to his feet. He heard the .click of the garden gate, the sound of John and Louise return- ing. He rose and stood ready to wel- come them, THR END BUY COAL NOW. WHAT IS GOING ON IN CERMANY! As Told by the Newspapers We Get From the Teutonic and Neu- Neutral Nations Wicked to Steal Wine | ' Unless You're Prince The moral of this story from the Berlin Post seems to be that it is decidedly wicked to rob a wine cellar unless you are a price tain through any other channel. Even the most peaceable people declare in the hearing of all who will listen, ‘Unless we look after ourselves we shall get nothing. We are tired of being made sport or perhaps a crown prince: sof by the officials.” “Hans Riedmayer, a 17-year-old locksmith’s apprentice,’ was sen- tenced to six months’ imprison- ment at Berlin for breaking: into a princely wine cellar. “Through . his . acquaintance with a valet employed at the pal- ace, he gained access to Prince Frederick Henry’s cellar in the Wilhelnstrasse and plundered it of 218 bottles of wines and liquor. Though he possessed himself of the bottles at random, the lad was fortunate in his choice, for among his spoils were 15 bottles of Mumm champagne, which were purchased at $5.50 a bottle; a bottle of Chartreuse worth $9.50, and several bottles of very old French brandy. This booty the thief in part sold for low prices to various restaurant keepers and in part enjoyed in company with his sweetheart.’’ Food Swindlers Continue Operations in Berlin That food swindlers, active 18 months ago, continue operations in Berlin is shown by frequent items such as this from the Berlin Post: “A market woman, with an im- mense stock of eggs, offered them for sale at 6 cents each at the weekly market in Hindenburg. Very soon the stall was beseiged by a great number of women. “Before the close of the market however, some of the purchasers came to the dealer and demanded the return of their money, ‘as the eggs were rotten. The dealer de- clined to refund, and she was bombarded with the eggs by her enraged customers, “The egg dealer took to flight, but was pursued by the shouting multitude as far as the Hungarian Hotel, knocked down, kicked, and practically buried beneath — evil- smelling waves of eggs. “The battle was forcibly terminated by three armed policemen, who conveyed the unhappy egg seller, with her arm broken, to the infirmary.” Rumblings Over Food Shortage Grow in Volume Further light on the precarious condition of the food supply is given by the more than usually outspoken Rheiniseche Zeitung: “The exasperation of the peo- ple of Cologne is rapidly reaching boiling point. Their anger, ac- cumulated in the course of the last two years, threatens to break out into open revolt owing to the mal- organization of the food supply.

A writer from the western front describes for the monarchial Tageszeiting a visit of the crown prince to ‘‘his’’ troops after one of the Champagne “victories”? in which the writer effuses : “We had not long to wait be- for the heir to the throne arrived. As his gaze passed over us, his elear Hohenzollern eyes showed the same fire and seriousness as on that day in Berlin. Just as he walked into the middle of the square, which we formed, the sun burst through the clouds, and as the heir of the German «rown stood their slim and -upright -in the brilliant light, his likeness to the pictures of Frederick the Great was once more remarkably striking. . . . For me_ the picture of. this Hohenzollern Prince, now ripened into a serious man, our future kaiser, is unfor- getable. It stirs in.me the mem- ory of the great history of the House of Hohenzollern, and gives me ‘firm confidence in its future for the welfare of our Fatherland. Without the Hohenzollerns, no Prussia; without Prussia, no Ger- many.” ‘‘Gallant’’ Germans Taunt ‘‘Divine Sarah’’ Depicting the spirit that has eome to dominate the German mind is a eomment on Sarah Bernhardt found in the Lokalan- zeiger : “The ‘Great Sarah’ as becomes a daughter of the nation whose sentiments partake more of the simian nature than possibly other peoples, had no sooner recovered her health in New York than she belched forth her hatred of the unspeakable Boches in a manner that was intended for stage con- sumption. “‘Sarah’s serpent-like effusions will, we faney, no more affect the attitude of! ‘the French govern- ment, which is about to leave the further conduct of the war to its English and Yankee taskmasters, than it will cause the Germans to tremble in their beds.’’ Steele Woman Home From Germany Where She Saw Son Expire Steele, N. D., Aug. 8—Clerk of Court Woessner is rejoicing over the return of ‘Mrs. Woessner, who went to her native home at Wurtemberg to see her dying son about the first of the year, and whose return her hus- band did not anticipate until the end of the war.
