When Great Britain undertook the cause of her allies, Hclgium and France, the defeat of Germany be- came certain and beyond question, writes l)r. James R. Day, Chan- cellor of Syracuse University, in jLeslie's Maga/ine. Germany might win some battles but she would not win the last one. With Russia closing in from the easit it became madnc-ss for Germany to fire a gun. It meant that Germany would lose her colonies, her com- merce, her industries and the flow- er of her young manhood and that the reigning dynasty would lose its throne. Great Britain has the greatest territorial extent, the greatest population, the greatest taxable wealth and the greatest in- come of any nation. The result will be the return of Lorraine and Al- fiace to Franco, the repair of all damages and the payment of ex- penses to Helgium, a great war in- <!<-mnity to Great Dritain, France and Russia, and a great revolution in Germany that will send William gear, tested every possible kind of sock and stocking.

Then, unwrapping it he fold- ed it about his fool in a different manner, and then in still a third way. "There are about thirty different ways of folding this Rock about the foot," bo Bakl, "and during his three years in the army, the soldier is taught, to become expert in usim; Ihein all. Each manner of folding il bus ;\ different purpos*-. One will relievo a s<ireiH"-s of the heel; an- other, a weariness of the instep; a third will protect an irritated corn ; and a founh will relieve the inflam ed ball of the foot. At the s.a>nie time thpt the soldier is taught these different methods of wrapping the suck, he also learns the anatomy of the foot, and just why the different wrappings relieve the different f(Kt ailments. "After serving his two years in the army." continued the officer, "the soldier goes back to civil life, and becomes, let us say, a clerk at a desk. For ten years he doesn't walk A mile a day. At the end of that time, w : ar breaks out, and he is called to the colors. He goes to the depot of his regiment, and there finds, .inn -MI? his other accoutre- rulers.

The kings that remain will be of the harmless and helpful character of the King of Great liritain. This hope, is the only tiling with which wo can justify this supposed comrades. At the same moment a squadron of German cavalry appeared a short distance away. The British captain then ordered the truck drivers, most of whom were lAindon motor bus chauffeurs, to dismount with their rifles and take a position in a ditch beside the mad in order to defend the convoy.

It is claimed that no German tongue can ever pronounce certain French words without betraying their Teuton origin. It is failure to pass tests of this kind which con- demn. The despatch adds: "I saw a woman challenged in *,he street, seized and haled to the gen- darmerie. She was well dressed, and the last type which the ordi- nary home-.-- tay ing British peopla would suspect of espionage, appar- ently a prosperous widow of about thirty, leading a little boy by th hand, but I have heard s'nce thait it proved a clear case. She had evaded the war regulation of the local authorities, that strangers niust not remain more than 24 hours in any town in this part of France without reporting personally to the police, by changing her lodgings lit- erally every day of the week." Two officers in Britis-'h uniform recently brought to a halt the mo- tors belonging to an ammunition convoy as it was proceeding to the British lines of Armentieres with supplies. "Halt, you are running right into German trenches," was the command given to the convoy. The captain spoke to the two offi- cers, who were driving a British automobile.
