Stripped ' of dlplomatio claptrap,
which marks ' communications of

Gorman' note-means -very -littlev- It
shows that the Juuiteri element,' the
militarists, are., going ; to', continue
the war 16 they-can'icopet.wtthi the
internal German?' trouble. The
note is as much for Germany as It
la for the allies, ind perhaps more
so, , and . while It. will,. get. no., plaoe
among the allied nations, , it may.
have a temporary effect of stimu
lating the Gymaft people to. go
filrtlier and ' lose. more. s
That the kaiser realises he is
down and 'out-and that his nation
has lost la .very: evident. That 'the
kaiser did throw "JuhlB hapdg and
qulto sovoral days ngo is nuwivery
apparent. But ha. wag pushed back
into action by bis advisors, . much .

Of course, he spoke what was In

Whiskey Did a Fine Thing.
For the Country.
, With duo npohifiy to Mrs. Tara.
Thornton and , Susau B. Anthony,
tho Evening . Observer emphasises
tho fact that. whlBkey has dono a'
fine thing for this nation, when it
loosened tho tongue of Henry Al
bors, of Tortland, and caused him
to spouk his sontlmcnla regarding
tho Gorman empire.
According to officials Albora Im
bibed from . a bottlo whllo travel-.
ling on a train In Oregon, and
when the liquor got lo .working ho,
like many, mon who us it, talked
exactly what was lu hla mind and
, soul. Don t say "liquor caused
tho ppor man , to , make a fool of
himself," for In the language of
nn -. old-tlmo Mlsaaurlnn, "if you.
want a man. to , tall the truth lot

Albors 'uttered ' a fow roinarks

"Once a German nlvruye a Gor

was done at a different point, in

to put the. works in proper shape.
It would be well, since said re

a committee of disinterested citizens
be requested to take the plans and
