These docu~ ments show Mr. Bryan is anti-British and leaves a well founded suspicion that he will not deny being pro-Ger- man in his sympathies; and this more than any intense love of peace, prompts the (?) Colonel to place him- self in opposition to President Wil- son and to side with those who would stop all sale and exportation of war material to the allies. Its purpose is to awaken old prejudices and to ham- per_tiio government. When it comes to diabolical treat- ment of the people of vassal prowv- inces or countries is no cholce between Russia, and Germany, who, in their frensies for repression, have murdered women and children and denied the right of their subjects to say their prayers to God in their own languages. The f-ult of this tyranny is ‘Amer- fca, which stands for freedom and opportunity for the oppressed of -all the nations of the earth. A GREAT DISCOVERY. The editor of the Pacific Medical Journal has announced to the world that “Life originates in and is co tinued by ‘molecular complexity’.” That is great, and now the clergy- men should stop pointing out that life is just asimysterious as death. Some of our able men have defined life as a series of mistakes, which hes seemed to be ungraspable; but when we are told it is a series of/mole- cules, we appear to be blameable if We do not catch on to it with a plece ot fly paper. But while molecules are as dis- coverable as fleas, this “molecular complexity” doesn't seem to have a permanent abode, or lodging place anywhere. Those who think life is “a faflor of the soul” will have to change their views now, and so will those who have hugged the delusion, “We never life, but ever hope to live.” Be careful not to get into a condi- tion of menta). complexity over this clear idea of “molecular complexity.” Horace Bushnell used to say: “Life was a plan of God” He thought he Following are a few of .their rules,{ knew what life was.

Occasionally Char- lotte would giggle as though it were very funny indeed. But it was after midnight when the secret was fairly out. Mrs. Rowntree had gone to bed early after her mys- terious task and now in the small Stories of the War hours of the morning she was awak- ened by the professors voice. “Martha, Martha, my dear,” he was saying, “have you any idea what could have become of my manuscript on the | ‘Origin of Life'? I am positive that 1 left it on the sideboard in the dining- Toom. At present it is not there and 1 fear I shall not be able to sleep until it is found.

Sergeant Mindenhall— our new sergeant, was sitting on the parapet, about s foot behind me, Teading onme of Jack London's stories of western life. The remainipg four of the crew were on the left side of the gun. We ali heard the report of a German gun fire, and heard it come whistling towards us. but never dreamt that it was coming straight for us. Not long did we remain in doubt; smash went our parapet and gungun. If there was an explosion from the shell I never heard it. The first thing I realized was that I had a terrible burning sensation at the back of my neck, and lying on the ground, trying to extract my foot, which was _caught between the seat and brake sup- ports. Releasing my foot, I got up- on my feet and looked at my ser- geant. He was stretched out full length and looked very comfortable; one look was sufficient to tell me that he had fought his last fight, and was on the way to glory. Crown Prince of Bavar an Optimist. A Central News despatch from northern France to London say! 1 can vouch for the following interview as authentic. The Crown Prince Rup- precht of Bavaria, while conversing with a member of the reichstag, who ‘was visiting the battle line in Artois, sal 1 must confess immediately that 1 am no longer an optomist.

Successfully through the campaign to date, having met with nothing more serious than a few severe shocks, Edward Saltmarsh, with an Imperial artillery brigade, which has been in action in France since the 24th-of August last year, writes to his sister, Mrs. Merrick Davis, 49 Un- fon street, New Edinburgh: “I have been in the paign now very nearly eleven mol without getting any worse than a couple of severe shocks, and I can tell you can- didly 1 have been in the thick of things on a few occasions. “To start at the beginning, we embarked on the 22d of August last, disembarked on the 2234, stay- ed in Boulogne for one day and en- trained for the front on the 24th, where we arrived the _following morning. We then marched forward a few miles and encamped for the night, to be awakened next morning about 4 o'clock by the terrific roar of machine gun and rifie fire, and before we had time to harness our horses we saw the first of our wound- ed coming in; that is any who could walk. And that is how the memor- were a nightmare to us. We fought and fought again and again both day and night and when not fighting we were marching, and the amount of sleep our particular unit got could be counted in hours on the fingers of your two hands. Many hundreds of our infantry were taken prisoners by the Germans by the roadside asleep, where they had dropped down unable to keep awake any longer. I have myself seen scores of cavalry and drivers in artillery asleep as their horses were going along. You can, for _thi therefore, easily imagine what the early days of the war were Ilike, and the majority of the reservists, having been in civiliaa life for so long, were hardly in fit condition for that sort of thing. Yet from my own personal knowledge I can say it was the reserve men who stuck to it the best, the young sol- diers were seeemingly not in anything nearly as good condition as ourselves. Ran for Shelter. “I then turfied to the left and there was another of the boys standing with a face ashen in its terror, his hands and knees all atremble. But my face could not have pleased him, for he took one look and started for the opening in_the hedge at the back of the gun. When fe was through the hedge I was close at his heels. Why he ran and why I was running after him I am unable to say. Nevertheless, I was following him, 2nd both making for the road, which was about 200 feet away. The road seemed to be my goal, for when I reached it down I went. \He plead- ed with me to get up and cross to the reserve trenches. Evidently I was not ‘having any:’ o I lay there and had to be carried to the trenches in order to get me out of danger. There I got my chest and leg ban daged; these being my worst wounds —my neck was only scratched. “About one hundred yards in front of me was a dressing station; but it was out of the question to go there, as it was being heavily shelled by the Germans. While lying in the trench a plece of shell an inch square fell on my foot and lay there until I drew the attention of one of the men, who removed it. . The breath seemed to have been crushed out of me and speech was difficult. “A stretcher was brought and my comrades placed me on it; for the four men on the left of the gun came off without a scratch; so they volun- teered to carry me to the next sta- tion. “Making about a mile, the men came to a balt for rest.

Prospect Park, Norwich, OTHER VIEW POINTS | motoring through The practice of undim- city streets with headlig! med is dangerous to other ists, to the occupants of any sort of vehicle in fact, and to pedestrians. The sharp glare of the high-power beadlight is extremely confusing. Trolley car motormen dim their lights when they see another vehicle approaching. If they did not do so. many accidents that are now avolded would be sure to occur. The same requirement resets on the drivers of automobiles, especially since the typ- fcal modern motor-car headlight riv- als the light of the trolley in inten- sity. Pending the expected enactment of proper regulations at the next session of the general assembly, owners of automobiles should so far as possible obviate by painstaking care the acci dents that indifference of recklessness are sude to cause. The number of au- tomobiles is constantly increasing in Rhode Island and the chances of m! hap are correspondingly greater. ery driver shold do what he can to limit the hazard to which motor cars and those who ride in them are daily subjected.—Providence Journal. When a town the size of Middle- town claiming a population over the twenty thousand mark and the county seat at that, cannot get out but fif- teen voters, five of this number being town officials and a newspaper man, at a special town meeting, there must be something radically wrong. Why, down here in Deep River we consider fifty to seventy-five is rather a small attendance. What Middletown needs is a political housecleaning. The man with the longest political string does not always prove the most efficient official to_manage town business.—Deep River New Era. Several German newspapers protest against the {dea that an “academic professor’ in Washington can lay down international law for Germany. This is dangerous trifiing. And still more dangerous is the assumption at German arms may do whatever ‘military _ necessity” is thought to dictate. Even in an ordinarily sober paper, the Vossische Zeitung, we read: “Victory over the enemey is the supreme law for every belligerent. This is the doctrine of stark outlawry. If it were once to be admitted, there would be an end, not merely of the rules of war, but of civilization and humanity. Nobody would be safe, for no right would be respected. If a ship may be sunk without warn- ing, besause it carries munitions of war, despite the fact that hundreds of non-combatants are killed, then & ship may be sunk similarly because it is going back to get a cargo of am- munition, or because it is carrying food or clothes that may help keep alive the civilian population of an en- emy country. There is simply no 1imit to the theory of “military neces- sity,” once it is set up and made op- erative. And any nation which, in the madness of war, has got such an insane notion into its head ought to make haste to get it out again. For the civilized world will never consent thus to be placed at the mercy of bar- barism.—The Natlon.

Peary, discoverer of the North Pole, in fulfilment of the wishes of Ootah, one of the four Esquimos who accompanied him to the Pole in 1909, has shipped to Ootah, and other mem. bers of the tribe of Cape York Esqui- mos, the northernmost of all the in- habitants of the globe, a phonograph and records. They are securely pack- ed in the hold of the MacMillan relief ship George B. Cluett, which has just cleared from Sydney, Nova Scotla, for the Arctic. Admiral Peary, recently learned through a newspaper clipping that, when the Whitney-Rainey hunting party was at Etah, North Greenland, Ootah, who heard their phonograph on the sealer Boethic, commanded by Captain Robert A. Bartlett of Peary's North Pole ax| ition, was profoundly impressed by it and requested Bart- lett to ask Peary to send him a “talk- ing machine.” Ootah wag one of the most stalwart of Peary's Esquimos and a great fa- vorite of his, and so the admiral glad- ly complied with the request and sent to Ootah and his tribe a number of choice records, hoping that they will have a marked influence on his music loving race and add much to their enjoyment during the six months long winter nights. . Among the records are America, the Star Spangiled Banner, Yankep Doodle, The National Emblem, by the Marine band, Rock of Ages. Lead Kindly Light, Nearer My God to Thee, Peary’s own_record describing the discovery of the North Pole, and a number of ragtime compositions.

A NORWICH INQUIRY Answered By the Statement Of a Nor- wich Resident. When first the long series of re. ports of Norwich people who have been relieved by Doan’s Kidney Pills were published in the local press, great enthusiasm and interest were sroused. But Norwich is mnow in- quiring “How are these people keep- ing today? How has the benefit they received withstood the test of time?” For that after all, is the essential test of & cure. On this point doubt can no longer-exist, for after many years those who have been cured, eraphati- cally declare their cures to be lasting. D. J.
