Germany has declared manufactured wood contra- 'hand, thereby causing a heavy blow to Swedish industry, as it is estima- ted that wood to the value of about 20,000,000 crowns is still under tract: for shipment this season. government immediately took to intercept all. steamers in the tic, and ordered them returned Swedish ports. The new contraband declaration also includes tar and sulphur. 'The oew German contraband declaration refers to all wood. Great indignation felt over this, as being an ment of the rights d®aneutral merce. The Szenska Daghladt says: "The step brings further warning to ney. tral countries stubbornly to protect their ignored rights. It is to be hoped that Germany's decision will not be final, but that reasonableness and wide consideration, as shown bv England in the ore question, will also in this case bring about a ' further modification." The list of articles prohibited for export has been increased to include hades, skins and. gold and silver bars and coin.

Judging by the utterances of Germany's learn- el professors and churchmen, said the mover, their Christianity was of doubtiul nature. The presbytery's condemnation supported by the Official Press oun's report that the German who attempteh to blow up HM.S.

Pi-. chon, ex-minister of foreign affairs, asserts that the idea of Japanese participation in the war in Europe is gradually gaining ground. He s ys: "At first such a suggestion received little favor from the chancelleries, though greatly interesting the public and the press, but it has now won at least careful examination. It has numerous partisans in Japan, Franes and Russia, while England welcomes it sympathetically. Germans fear it, which emphasizes its imporfance "Any fears arouiséd quite unjustly in the United States are disappea~- ing. Besides, it is easy to give the American republic all the guarantees it desires. "I see with. satisfaction the prog- ress of the proposal. Let us make one more effort, and our great far eastern ally will come to join us on the European battlefield.' Since the beginning of the war, M Pichon has been a strong advocate of Japanese aid in the west. Dur- ing his term of office in 1907 he engi- neered the entente between Japan, Russia and France, which helped to render possible Japanese action. GERMAN PRESS KICKING.

Berlin, by wireless to London, Nov. 27.--ThHe German press de- mands an explanation with regard to an alleged illegal verdict against Ger- man military surgeons by a French court-martial.

There are still a few people in this country who imagine an article is necessarily better be cause it's imported," In spite of a billion and a half dollars in- vested in modern Canadian fac- tories, a percentage of consum- ers have got into the habit of looking for the foreign stamp on goods with the idea that they were getting a better qual- ity = even if they have 1 pay a higher price than they do for the Canadian article.

But the no- tion that some people never can get bammered out of their heads is that if an article only comes in over a tarifl wall it is necessarily a better article than the home-thade.

Somehow, somewhere, thesr mar ried life had twisted from happiness to unhappiness. John Lemmg could- o't understand it. He bad elimina- téd every possible catise of friction when he promised to love and cher- isii Helen. , He had watched his married friends and had determined to avoid the snags that they ran mto. He had observed that money was the rock that punctured most boats. So he avoided that danger nicely. He acknowledged that you couldn't have tiuken his course with an extravagant woman or a silly woman, but he had ten in love with Helen because she was entirely different rrom mone women, and superior to all So he was able to divide his salary in hal- ved, after rent, food, gas, goviors bills and other neeessary expenses had been met. One-half ne gave Helen. The other Ealf was ms own, io do with as he pleased. When ihey went {o a theater or indulged any extra treat each was to pay an equal share out of each one's, reserve fund. "What a sensible idea!' Hel- en had applauded. And they had settled lesser mat- ters in the same sgnsible way. sotn were resolved not to follow gn tne steps: of Ned and Rose Jensen, wlio loved and squabbled and partes anc made up, to the amusement and aes- pair of their entire circle of awquain- tances. John had his room; rieien had hers. His salary as manager mn large wholesale house was large enough to allow such comfort. He was to have two eveningsaweektodo at he pleaged--club, boys, or *a stex friend", She was to have the same privilege. John conceded so much to her suffragist learnings, altnougn in his heart he wished that she didn't care to vote,. But he was just. Since she cared, such was her privisege. Then they set out to be happy. They set Wednesday evening to go 10 the theater, They would avoid the stay-at-home rut that most of their friends had dropped into. Af- terward they had supper at a restau- rant. - And then, before they had been married one year, he became sware that Helen was not happy. Not un- happy, either. She made that plain. But somehow the delight or mre nad Zone. She was bored. John ony sus- pected it for a while, It couldn't be possible when he had so carefully elimipated all chance of boredom! But very soon suspicion became a 'certainty, He began to feel resentful. Was 'it possible that Helen did not care for him any more? He could find no other explanation.'

But he dign't try to quarrel. i One evening he rode home on the L. with Ned Jenson. Ned haa a nox of violets. He explained that ne anu Rose had a quarrel and this was the preliminary peace offering. "I can al- ways smooth her down with a bunch of posies," checkled Ned. "She can't hold out." John was a trifle scornful. A year before he would fairly have quivered with scorn. Then Ned got off and forgot the flowers. John didn't see the box un- til he himself was ready to get off, three miles farther. It was roo rate to go back without making ¥eien wait. He stopped in a drug store to phone Ned that he woula sence them down, and could get no answer Then he remembered that Ned had said they were going out for amner. So he took the flowers home. Helen opened the door for him. He laid the box down and before he could explain she snatched se up. "Violets!" she was gowned an ner best, In a minute he had decided not to explain, but to send tose an- other box. And then suddenly Helen flung the box down. "How muen were they?" she asked indifferentiy. John was nonpulsed. It was the one 10ing to give her the violets that had not been meant for her, another to let her pay half for them, as was her custom. Just them he rememverec that this was Wednesday evening and he had forgotten to get tickets. He had to tell her. And he rosa ner with trepidation. "But I can phone," he sald, has- tily. "We may have to take pascony seats--" "Did you really forget, John?" she asked curiously. "Ii won't happen again." After all, he had never forgotten anything be- fore, She needn't be so captrous--- Then she laughed. "Oh, John I'm glad you can be human and rorge:- ful once in a while. No, you needn't phone, I'm tired of this done-by- rule business of being happy. :'e ra- ther do as the Jensens do." "Helen!" "Il don't care, and - I'm tiree or paying half. I'd rather be so pour we couldn't afford to go." Her eyes were bright and hard, in spite of tne wriet laughter. "Maybe you are tired of me," said John stiffly. "Nearly," she said. Then the hard- ness left her eyes. "As you are ce me," she laughed. "I've tried to please you!" Helen shrugged her shoulders. "Do you want me to quit?" ang- rity. "Quit pleasing me!" coldly.
