DISILLUSIONED. THE Studied indifference' with whieh Germans two re ceiving the Ann'bican annv of occupation reflects the stupor which seems to have overtaken the nation fol lowing its military collapse. To Germans trained to he lieve in German supremacy as a divine right, and to regard Gorman arms as invincible, defeat must seem incompre hensible. No wonder the people seem stunned. Among the "letters- printed in the forum of tho New York World, May 1, 1915, was the following, which re flects the then prevalent German idea of invincibility: How foolish It la for tho enemies of the Germane to think that they could conquer them! No, not if alltho other peoples of tho earth, both civilized and savage, were opposed to them they could not bo victorious over tho great Gorman people, for while one German remains man, woman or child they will fight on, and it would not bo ousy to exter minate seventy millions ot people; and therefore you can sue tluit final victory is assured to us, ami when wo have humbled our enemies in the dust and taken their countrios from thorn, If any one of the formor natives, eitjier Englishman, Frenchman, Italian, American or any other of tho in ferior races, were to raise their voices above a whisper we will crush them to the earth. And again, after we have destroyed all ot tho worn-out cathedrals and other hideous buildings, Including tho temples ot India and othor heath en countries, wo will build much greater cathedrals and far more magnif icent temples to honor our noble kaiser and the great deeds of his people in destroying the carion races of tho world Oh, how thankful we are that God has selected our great and Incom parable kaiser and his people to accomplish this great work, for has not Darwin said, (who I think, must have got his idea from our great Ger man professors) "'that only the fittest must survive," and are not the Germans the most fit in every way? So we Germans say, "Let the carton rot; there are no noblo men but Germans. : CAUL SCHROEDKIt. New York, May 1, 1S15.;1 .

In order to make 'Germany fullv realize and under stand that'the GennAn system a iailure, that military might ion, that barbaric "kultnr" tiglitrulness docs not pav and that boasted German su periority is a myth, it is necessary to bring home to Ger mans tne evils ot war by tlie by the conquering army. object lesson before them them.

": OF SYDNEY, Australia, Not. 6. (Correspondence of the Associated Press.) Pronouncement by Arthur J. Balfour, British secretary ot state for foreign affairs, that Germany's colonies will not be returned to her after the war revives in Australia and New Zealand animated discus sion of the future ot all the islands in the Pacific south of the equator. Whatever conclusion is reached by the allies at the peace conference as to the disposition ot German New Guiena and German Samoa, not to mention the Marshall, Carpline and Ladrone groups, :t is generally ad mitted that an-entire recasting of the various administrations of the Brit ish islands 13 needed to develop their great potential wealth, afford secur ity for trade and ensure adequate de fense. - It is believed that a federation all the British archipelago under central aftthority having its seat of government at the most convenient centre will eventuate after the war. Thus, in effect a new state would be created which might be called tbe British Pacific Federation and might be administered by a governor-general or high commissioner. Such a governor-general or high commis sioner would not be concerned with the local governmental affairs of any particular group hut with the federa tion as a whole. lie might be assist ed by a council composed of appoint ed officials, representatives elected by each island group, and trade com missioners representing Great Brit ain, Australia, New Zealand and Canada. Local legislatures, would, under such a Bcheme as this, have as largo a measure of self-govornment as compatible with the proportion of whites to South Sea islanders ; and Asiatics, incapable at present of self government.

BETTER THAN CALOMEL Thousands Have Discovered Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets are a Harmless Substitute. , Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets the substi tute for calomel are a mild but suro laxative, end their effect on the liver ia almost instantaneous. They are tho r;sult of Dr. Edwards' determination not to treat liver and bowel complaints with calomel. His efforts to banish it brought out these Utile olive-colored tablets. ' These pleasant little tablets do the good that calomel does, but have no bad after effects. They don't injure the teeth like strong liquids or calomel. They take hold of the trouble and quickly correct it Why cure the liver at the expense of the teeth? Calomel sometimes plays havoc with the gums. So do strong liquids. It is best not to take calomel, but to let Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets take its place. ' Most headaches, "dullness" and that lazy feeling come from constipation and a riinnrriered liver.
