Suggestions of peace, Kipling as- Sserted, originate among Boche agents i confederates who are active not tonly in England but in every other {country with - which® Germany is at war. Compromise, he said, would mean nothing less than defeat and "nothing we may have to endure now will weigh one featherweight compared with what we shall suffer if, we fail." The Thugs of India. "One hundred | ago there was a large and highly organized commu- nity in India which lived by assassina- tion and robbery," continued Kipling. "They were educated to it from their 'infancy; they followed it as a profes- sion and it also was their religion. 'They were called Thugs. : "Their method was to disguise themselves as pilgrims or travellers or merchants and to join with parties moving about India. They got.into the, dence of their victims, found what they had on them and in due e--after weeks or months of ac- intance--<they killed them by giv- ing them poisoned food--sweetnteats for _choice--or by strangling them from behind as they sat over the fire of an evening. Then they, stripped . the corpse of all valuables, threw it down a well or buried it and went on to the next job. "At last things got so bad that the Government of India had to interfere and after many years in tracking down and hanging up the actual mur- derers and imprisoning their spies and confederates, who included persons in all ranks of society, it put an end to _ the whole business of Thuggee.: "The world has progressed since that day. By present standards of crime those Thugs were ineffective. amateurs. They did not mutilate or defile the bodies of the dead; they did not torture or rape or enslave people; they did not kill children for fun and they did not' burn villages.

People who have been Brought up to make or- ganized evil in every form their su- preme god because they beleve evil will pay them are not going to change their belief till it is proved that evil does not pay. So far thie Hun believes that evil has paid him in the past and will pay him better in the future. He has had a good start. "Like the Thug the Hun knew ex- actly what he meant to do before he opened his campaign against mankind, As we have proof now, his poisoned sweetmeats and knotted towels were prepared years beforehand and his spies had given him the fullest infor- mation about all the people he in- tended to attack. Right in German Eyes. "So he is doing what is right in his own eyes. He thought out the hell he wished to create; he built it up seri- ously and scientifically with his best hands and brains; he breathed into it his own spirit that it might grow with his needs; snd at the hour he judged best he let it loose on a world that till then had believed there were limits beyond which men born of wéman dared not sin. "Nine-tenths of the atrocities Ger- many has committed have not been made public. I think this.is a mis take. But one gets hint of them here and there--Folkestone has had more than a hint, For instance, we were told the other day that 14,000 non- combatants, men, women and children, had drowned, burned or blown to pieces since the war began. "But we have no conception--and till the veil is lifted after the war we shall have no conception--of the rgnge and system of these atrocities. Least of all we shall realize, as they realize in Belgium and occupied France just across the river, the cold, organized miseries which Germany has laid upon the populations that have fallen into her hands, that she might break their bodies and defile their souls; This is part of the German creed. "What understanding is possible with a breed that has worked for and brought about these things? And as long asthe Germans are left with any excuse for thinking that such things pay can any peace'be made with them in which men can trust? None, "For it is the peculiar essence of German culture--which is the German religion--that it is Germany's moral _ | duty to break every tie, evesy restric- tion, that binds man to fellow man if '| she thinks it will pay. Therefore, all mankind are against her. Therefore, all mankind must be against her till she learns that no race can make its way or break its way outside the {borders of humanity." 5 ee ie GULLS AS FOOD FOR MAN.

Anyone who would set about its con- quest by invasion would find the task a herculean one, for it contains near- ly. five million square miles, and is about forty-five times as big as the British Isles!

Then | f group of men. 4 co F5iie: dn H ant child; but others insisted that was a child of birth and title, from some northern chateau. "She eats like a lady," said one. "Let us see what she will do with a napkin." Somehow they managed to get half a dozen napkins, -and luncheon was spread on the ground. The Little Duchess, as the soldiers called her, looked indifferently at the napkin be- side her plate, and then, without haste she one of the men tucked his under his chin and another tied his about his neck. In two minutes they noticed that the Little Duchess had tied hers round her neck. "It was the tact of a lady," said one "Not to correct an- other or be different in small matters when you sit at his table shows that you are well-born." \ Then they tried her in the drawing- room of a ruined chateau. One of them led her to the sofa; the child did not stop there but seated herself dom- posedly on a battered ottoman, "That settles it!, Children in d French families are taught to sit -- : such stools in the presence of their elders." "But no," was the reply. "In Bo- hemia well-bronght-ap children seek a stool when they sit in the presence of their elders." ' Then a Frenchman motioned the little girl to tHe old piano. She sat on the piano stool, perplexed, troub- led, wrinkling her forehead. The hulking legionaires held their breath. What strain of effort might there be to remember an elusive something, sweet and peaceful, far in, through a purgatory of confusion, fright, blood, hunger, loneliness and awful explo- sions that had hurt her poor head! Or had they merely set before a poor peasant child an impossible task? One of the men started to rescue her, but at that moment the child's hands reached the keyboard, and she struck a chord, a single chord, but a true one. ; "That's enough for AQ-day!" they cried, and they all piled * out of the gutted chateau Into the springtime sunlight, laughing and: petting the | Little Duchess. Since then the little girl has re- turned several times to the piano and has played bits of tuneful exercises. Of course she proved not to be deaf and dumb at all. Her condition was | the result of the terrible artillery con- cussions and the nerve-racking scenes through which she had passed. She is learning to talk again, aided by the | rough legionaires, and sometimes she learns ten new words in a morning; but the men will not let her be "Dus ed" too rapidly. --_--_-- 2 » Ask for Minard's and take no other.
