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

Whatever conclusion is reached by
the allies at the peace conference as

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

by each island group, and trade com
missioners representing Great Brit

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. Tako Dr. Edwards'
Olive Tablets when you feel "loggy" and
"heavy." Note how they "clear" clouded
brain and how they erlc up" the spirits.
