THE EMPEROR'S SPKrXH
The striking contrast In the ad
dress the German emperor has just
delivered to his army and navy, and
the tone of his speech at the begin
ning of hostilities, is so preceptible
that a child could detect the chilling
fear which is creeping through the
' morrow of the bones of the beast of
Berlin not the mere fear of losing
his crown but the cold, dank fear
of death, should Prussian arms lose
the war. Knowing the fate of the
Russian czar and the czar's family
the kaiser fears a similar finish.
"There will be no mercy shown
those who oppose my will," stormed
the emperor, and, "I will stand no
nonsense from America after this
war." The words were delivered in
crisp, sharp tones, and by a man
whose authority was never question
ed; by a madman obsessed with the
absurd idea that he was chosen by
God to rule all mankind.
Then today: "I have resolved to
extend my hand in peace, but I will
accept only an honorable peace.
Whether ' arms will be
lowered is a question, but we must
not slacken."
Note the arrogant, cock-sure tones
of the emperor's former speech and
the whining, pleading tones of the
man who is a poor loser the tones
of a whipped cur. But to pass
quickly on to other parts of the em
peror's speech:
Here ls the line of oratory that
has driven the German people to
shed their last drop of blood for
military autocracy to commit such
crimes that the waters of the seven
seas will be unable, for centuries,
to wash away after the waves have
hushed over the Innocent victims'
prayers:
'The Germans are heroically de
fending the fatherland on foreign
soil."
The kaiser's logic holds water like
a sieve. On the name principle an
Oregonfan would be as much justi
fied in going to Africa and fighting
the heathen to protect his family at
home here in Oregon.
"My navy is holding its own,"
awaggrg the kaiser. Certainly It
is , and It always will, so long as it
remains bottled up.
"The eyes of those at home rest
with admiration upon the deeds of
the army and navy," continued the
kaiser.
Perhaps 8o, but how about the ln:
nocent victims who were slaughtered
in the red shambles of a hundred
cities? Man la unable to answer.

after the allies have rightfully done
their duty must await the verdict

"With God's grace we will win."

down lu uue of U vacant seats mid

far awny to talk to the young woman.
The couple looked lit each other with
longing eye, as If they wished to Hit

COLONEL HAD LAST WORD
Officers' Joke Was All night Until th
Commander Got Tired of
Hearing It
A well-known Kreni h colonel hud a
mania for questioning hi olllcer iibour
their families, invariably starting oft
with: "What Is jour father's profes
sion, your mother's, anil your sis
ter's?" Some of the subalterns became m
wearied of this endless repetition that
they derided among themselves to give
each in turn the following reply:
"My father I a shoemaker, my moth
er Is a laundress, ami my sister In
very lllghty."
On the following Sunday, after the
customary church parade, the colonel,
who had already received the same
answer to hi questions from two or
three of the olllcer. turned to another
and started off In the old stereotyped
drain : "Whut Is your father' profes
sion 7"
"He la n shoemaker."
"And your mother's?"
"She 1 a laundress."
That will do," Interrupted the
colonel, "I know the rest; 'your sla
ter Is flighty,' and you will consider
yourself confined to barracks until
she behaves better I"
Dynamiting the Pothunter.
The newspapers of the country have
almost everywhere been a powerful
force In crystallizing the sentiment of
the protection by proper law of fish
and game as Important resources of
the commonwealth.
A New Jersey editor, a thorough
sportsman, says Wild Life, recently re
ceived from a reader who desired to
tuke a fish by questionable means a
letter that contained this request:
"I'lcnse advise me bow to dynamite
a stream."
The newspaper man sent the follow
ing advice:
Four Mirks of dynamite are suffi
cient. Tie them securely around your
neck, attach fuse, light It and run aa
fust n you can awuy from the water,
to avoid Injuring the other snakes and
reptiles."
