Wells, the noted author and scientist, in: a remarkable analysis of the European conflict, says 2â€"â€" “A last the intolerable tension is over and 1 Europe is at war. The monstrous vanity that was- begotten by the easy victories 'of 1870-71 has challenged the world. Germany pre- pares, to reap the harvest Count Bis- marck sowedâ€"that trampling, drilling foolery in the heart of Europe that arrested civilization and darkened the hopes of mankind for forty years. “German Imperialism, German miliâ€" tarifsm struck its inevitable blow. A victory for_G'ermany will mean the permanent enthronement of the war god over all human affairs ; the defeat of Germany may open the way to dis- armament and peace throughout the earth. To those who love peace there can be no other hope in the present conflict than the defeat and utter dis- crediting of, the German legions, end- ing for good and all the blood-and-iron superstition of the Krupp flag-wag- ging, Teutonic Kiplingism, and all that criminal and ‘sham eliiciency that centres in Berlin. State \in the world so clamored for punishment. But be it remembered State, not the German people; with the system, not with the race. Older tradition in Germany is pacific, and the civilizing tradition and tempera- ment of the mass of the German peo- ple is kindly sane and amiable. A disaster to the German army, if it is not accompanied by such a memorable wrong as dismemberment 0r intoler- able indignity, will mean restoration for the greatest people in Europe to fellowship among the Western nations. The role of England in this huge ,._ struggle is as plain as daylight; we have to fight if only on account of the Luxemburg outrage; we have to fight, for if we do not fight England will cease to be a country to be proud of. It will be a dirt bath to escape from. But it is inconceivable that we should not fight, and having, fought, then in the hour of victory it will be for us to save the liberated Germans from vindictive treatment, to secure for this great people their right to ‘a place in the sun ’ as one united Ger- man-speaking State. First, we have to save ourselves and Europe, and then , we. have to stand between the German 'on the one hand and Cossack revenge on the other.” New Books. .â€" The following new books have been re- ceived at the Public Library and are ready for distribution: â€"â€" .

Twenty to twenty-five dollars will be required to- make the poultry exhibit at the fall fair this year a. show of birds each judged separately instead of in pairs as formerly; To secure this a- mount, subscriptions are being asked, and should be freely given, as the im- provement is much needed, and has been made by all fair associations of any importance. It is impossible to place the awards on birds in pairs with any satisfaction. When an extra good bird is cooped with a poor one it is a manifes= injustice to have to pass the extra good bird by and give the red ticket to a pair that average better; and after thepri‘zes- are awarded spec- tators who are looking for information do not get it accurately f em a perusal of the tickets and an examination of the pairs that won._ Besides, the work of the judge is made doubly hard. Mr. Trew of Lindsay, who placed the awards last year, urged very strongly that the birds ‘should be shown singly at the fair this hill.- Help it along. the dilierent public libraries inj'the dis- ‘ trict, which includes the counties of.
