Dear Readersâ€"If I can do any good in the world for others, I wish to do it, and I feel that it is m duty to write about the wonderfuiresu ts I received from the use of “Anuric.” I was suflering from kidney and bladder troubles, scalding urine, backache and rheumatism, and feet and ankles swelled so that at times I could not walk without assistance. Bad taken several different kinds of kidney remedies but all failed. I sent for a box of Dr. Pierce’s newest dis- covery, 'Anuric,’ which I received by mail in tablet form. I soon got better and am convinced that this pOpular new medicine is good.

But :hr Hamburg policy was ever dic- iazcl by empty dynastic ambitions, resulting in all sorts of intrigues with the military and court camar- illa. this in turn resulting in the dis- ruption of the economic life of the monarchy and impoverishment of the various Austrian nz‘itionalities. The l-lapshurgs are adepts in jug- gling with constitutions and in mak- ing promises, but they are still more expert in violating their pledges and oaths. The short-lived relatively democratic constitution of 1848 was followed in Austria by a decade of the most cruel reaction. The milder regime of the latter fifties of the nineteenth century was followed by ruthless oppression in the sixties and y systematic attempts at German- ization and Magyarization of the non- German and non-Magyar nationali- ties of Austria-Hungary. During the present war Austria always promised reform whenever things looked bad on the battlefield, but, as soon as they changed and as- sumed a somewhat more encouraging aspect, she returned to her felonious ways and methods. lecently we had an example of this. When, in the early summer the Russian army re- sumed its offensive and gained its notable victories in Galicia, there were promises of internal reform and of justice and fairness to the various component nationalities. But later there came the Russian rout. Rus- sian troops refused to fight; the Aus- trian chameleon assumed a new color. A dispatch from Copenhagen told us that the Teuton victories in Galicia and Bukovina have thrown a veil over the promised new order in Austria, that the powers that be find the question of reform far less urgent owing to the improved mili- tary system. In other words, the criminal promises to mend his ways when the policeman has him by the collar. or when he is about to lay his arms on him, but as soon as the po- liceman is at a safe distance, or if the criminal so thinks, the felon commences again his trade of mur- der and robbery. This may be a harsh comparison, but it fits the case. We have thus afforded an illus- tration of the utter futility of the hope still persisting in some quarters as to the possibility of Austrian re- form. She must suffer extinction if the world is to have permanent peace. Of Murder and Robbery . . .

Without the Hapsburgs there could be no Hohenzollerns.

If we are to be consistent. when we cry “Down with the Hohenzollerns,” we must also cry “Down with the Haps- bur-gs.” It is an utter absurdity to speak of democratizing Germany without realizing at the same time that democracy cannot be achieved without liberating the suppressed na- tionalities of Austria-Hungary. This is all the more evident when we realize that the German nation so far shows very little desire to be lib- erated, but that in Austria-Hungary, with the exception of. the German and Maya minorities, everybody else asks not only for democracy but believes that democracy cannot be achieved without the dissolution of the bankrupt, Germanized, and Magyarizcd} ramshackle Empire.

Even if .y partially and In Everybody‘s Magazine, Lincoln Steffons tells the 1e 31 story of Ras- putin as it we s related to him by the assassins of the power behind the Russian throne. The most mysterious question about the rise of this ob- scure monk is "How did he get into the Court at Petrograd?" Nothing could be simpler,” says Mr. Steffens. cinity of Focshani promise much wealth in the future, a Government survey showing rich deposits of coal, iron, and copper in the neighbor- hood, and some indications of petrol- eum. Some of the finest wine made in Roumunia formerly came from Focshani Vineyards. The population of the city is about 25.000, one-fourth of that number could be simpler,” says Mr. Steffens. "In a nunnery at Moscow he met the Tsarina’s sister. Like the Em- press, the sister was a devotee of the church, of charity, and human ser- vice. Rasputin met her, and he met her every thought and longing. He expressed her, satisfied her, and so she recommended him to her sister in the court. He was summoned to Petrograd, and happening to arrive at a time when the little Czarevitch was ill, he stroked and Wished him well. And the child happened to get well. The hardships which Focshani' is undergoing at the present time are not a new experience to it. It was al- most completely destroyed in 1789 by the Russians when they, with their Au: 5tzian Allies. administered a crushing (;.efeat to Tuzke}.

Before the union of the principalities of Moldavia and Wallachia into the Kingdom of Rou- mania this city was one of the fron- tier posts on the Russian border. “The Czarina is a good mother, and a very superstitious, almost a fanatically religious, woman. She called this a miracle, and the per- former of it an angel of goodness. Rasputin could come up to that ex- pectation, too. He played that part. Whenever after that the Czarevitch was ill, Rasputin waited awhile and then, when the sickness had had time to run its course, he would lay on his hands. The story that he had a wo- man who made the child ill is pretty generally believed in Petrograd, and it may be true, but medical men there who knew something of the cir- cumstances said it wasn’t necessary to accept this explanation. The more probable one I have suggested is suf- ficient. But if he did use drugs on the child and even, as it is also said, on the Czar himself, we may be sure, from our knowledge of ourselves that he did it for a good purpose. Threatened and plotted against he had to defend himself and protect the policies he was using the Czar and his power to work out.” ling a Apropos of the energetic discus- sion in progress in England as to the superior claims to usefulness of the modern over the classical education, a writer aptly recalls a statement made, a few years ago, by Lord Rhondda, the good controller in the United Kingdom. "When I went into business, thirty-five years ago,” Lord Rhondda declared, “many of my friends held that I labored under a great disadvantage in having lost several years at Cambridge. My ex- perience has satisfied me that they were wrong, and that my college training has been of inestimable service to me throughout my com- mercial career. What education does teach a man, however else it may fail, is to appreciate his own ignor- ance, and to see that there may be, not one, but fifty points of view on any given question.” A prize of 1,000 franc’s has been offered by a citizen of Belgium for the best school texn book on the sub- ject “The Crimes Committed by the Germans Against Humanity and Against the Rights of Peoples in Belgium During the War.” The offer, recently printed in the clan- destinely published paper La Lihre Belgique, is designed to perpetuate the reasons for Belgium’s national hatred against Germany.

The. suggestion is also. made that because the friends of the pre- sent Government and the Nationalist party both opposed Sir Wilfrid Lau- rier in the election of 1911 that there is now some. connection or col- lusion and that my supporters and friends are in fact encouraging the Nationalist party of Quebec in the course which they are adopting.” .1 Q «:4.

There is not and never W'll be any connection or collusion Whatever between my friends and supporters and those of the Nationalist party of Quebec. I regard the attitude of the National party of Quebec in this war as un- patriotic, and I consider that it is the first duty of myself and my friends to assist in defeating that party and to prevent it, so far as we are able, from being in a position to exercise any political power in Can- ada.” Henri Bourassa, leader of the Na.- tionalists, Writing in l is paper, Le Devoir, in the month of February, 1916, on the “Sources of National- ism” declared emphatically that the Nationalists were educated in the school of Laurier Liberalism under, as he stated, “the supreme inspira- tion and the immediate direction of Mr. Laurier.” Mr. Bourassa’s ar- ticle was as follows: “Let us even suppose, for one mo- ment, that Mr. Laurier’saccusations are true and that the Nationalist re- sistance is inspired by hatred to- wards England. At what school were we given such lessons of hatred and distrust? At the schoOl of the Lib- eral Party, under the supreme in- spiration and the immediate direc- tion of Mr. Laurier. It 'was Mr. Laurier who taught us, as early as 1890 that ‘never would Canada take part in the wars of England.’ “It was Mr. Laurier, it was Mr. Brodeur, it was Mr. Choquett'e, it v as Mr. Bernier, it was their organ, The Electeur and Le Soir, which, in 1896, denounced the military prepar- ations of the Conservative Adminis- tration, launched to the four corners of the Province this alarm cry which carried no sign of unlimited love for the Mother Country: ‘Why should we fight for England? . . . They consider you good to serve as cannon flesh. They will send your children to Africa, to Asia, whence they will never return. . . Vote for Laurie: and his candidates if you want to see your country enjoy the same tran- quality and do not wish to expose yourself to be called one of these mornings for other countries, hiding behind your wives, your childmn, and all that is dear to you.” “It was Mr. Laurier who, in 1902, atfirmed that it would be a veritable suicide for the country to rush into the vortex of expenses in which Eu- ropean nations, including England, have been dragged through the crea- tion of formidable armaments. “It was the disguised annexation- ism of Mr. Laurier, of Sir. Richard Cartwright, and of the whole Liberal party that was compelling Mr. Blake, in 1891, to break the ties which bound him to the future defenders of the Empire. It was Mr. Laurier Who, in 1892, hailed with joy the dawn of the day upon which Canada ‘could get rid of the services of English diplomacy.’ “It was Mr. Mercier who, in 1892, under the paternal eye of Mr. Lau- rier, was leading a campaign for the Independence of Canada. It was Mr. Lemieux, then a young Nationalist chicken, soon after transformed into a fat Imperialist duck, who followed Mr. Mercier in that anti-British campaign.” “At last, it is Mr. Laurier’s princi- pal lieutenant, Sir Richard Cart- wright, who summed up the whole Liberal doctrine in this lashing ex- pression: “All that Canada owes to England is the Christian pardon for the wrong the latter had done here.’ Really, if the Nationalists, and gen- erally the French-Canadians, do not feel in a hurry to shed their blood for England or for any other coun- try than their own, Mr. Laurier may say: “here is the generation I have brought up and educated; here are the principles, the ideas, and senti- ments which I have impressed upon my dear compatriots.” These two statements completely and conclusively refute the oft-re- peated slander that the Conservative party has formed an alliance with the Nationalists. In fact an alliance would be impossible for the reason that between the principles of the two parties a great gulf is fixed which political expediency could never bridge over. The Conservative party stands for a broad Canadian- ism, unity of the Empire, and loyal and unselfish participation by Can- ada in the fight Which Britain 18 waging to-day for the cause of civil- ization. Nationalism means the very antithesis of this. It stands for a narrow provincialism fostering an acute and bitter racialism, complete separation from Great Britain and is opposed to the slightest participa- tion by Canada in the present war; And these principles are, as Mr. Bourassa declares, the principles taught them under “the supreme in- spiration and the immediate direc- tion of ‘Ir. “Laurier.” ’ u’.»’°"‘°." 3”" " ' ‘ ' Laurier Inspired the N ationa'iists BUSINESS AND THE DRAFT LAW' Ottawa.
