It rushes to credit the Kaiser with unqualified power, and thereby it distorts the truth. "If it were possible in this third winter of the war to place one's self in the position of the Kaiser and coldly deliberate on the possibilities that lie to one's hand so placed, one would be surprised not so much at the power one wielded as at the reve- lation how far that power fell fram the absolute. The Kaiser might like to side with von Tirpitz, both prudence bids him accept the advice of his chancellor, the redpectable lawyer, who, like all mediocrities, is easy to work with. Tirpitz, whatever his faults, is a strong man, wilful and determined ind there no room in Germany to- day for such a man The day of strong men ended with the dismissal of Bismarck What He Could Do. To do justice, then, to the theme, "If I Were Kaiser," it is necessary to yealize how limited is the part the Imperial actor can play in the great war drama; but within these limita- with strychnine.

So much the Kaiser could do if his heart were different, and if he strove in some small measure to fit himself for the exalted destiny to which as lieves himself to be called The poison-gad attack on the Can- adians at St. Julien has burnt itself too deeply into the memory of the Canadian people ever to be blotted out by any eleventh-hour contrition.

In the Kaiser's own estimation he is the instrument of the Lord, and to that exalted conception of hig role his slavish people are prepared to sub- scribe; but the instrument of the Lord to-day is led as much as he drives, : If the Kaiser seriously wished for peace to-day his word would have weight with the German people, but it would not be decisive."

A word from him and death from the air making a shambles of defenceless villages himself, may seek to restrain him, but as against the Junkers he counts and cities would have stopped.

The farthest he will go will be to repeat that conscience- haunted lament, "I did not will this | war." The Kaiser fell from grace when he became converted to the War Party in Germany, and once in the abyss he completed his ruin by in- spiring or countenancing frightful- ness.

It aims to encourage men and women to give attention to their health, and by preventive methods to avoid serious disease and add vears of happiness to their lives. This idea is suited to people of all ages, but seems particularly applicable to per- sons of advancing years who feel their vitality on the wane. Tt is truly wonder- ful what is accomplished by Dr. Chase's Nerve Food under these eireumstances. By forming new; rich blood, and nour- ishing the starved, wasted nerve cells, it instils new life and vigor into the vital organs and cnables them to perform their natural functions. This means new strength find comfort, freedom from pain and disease, and longer life.
