We May Be Mistaken We were under the impression that we had enough work shoes bought to last us two years but it appears that we were mistaken. There is already a big hole shot into our supply. Men are coming lor miles to buy our work shoes and why shouldn’t they? Come in and see the shoes we are selling at $1.98 to $3.50. Charlie Voglewede

The Russo-Japanese war was a revelation to the people of Russia as well as to the world,of the disintegration of the house of Romanoff, ami the grip of the Grand Duke. When the European war blaze appeared the prophecy was made that it would be a war for democracy—altho that object may have been little dreamed of as the clouds gathered— inwhat seemed the result of a titanic struggle growing out of the jealousies of commercial supremacy. The prophecy of Tolstoi of this great war. ami that out of the north should come a blue-eyed prince who should stand as a central figure iu the world tragedy, suggest;that King Albert of Belgium may'be the prime that after the wav would igive back th sceptre of a king to become president of a republic.—" The Outlook in Russia." by Peter Ma Queen, in National Magazine for ’ June.

The Poison of German Intrigue —Wilson’s Antidote I German intrigue in America as well as in Russia, in the form of veiled peace proposals, which, to use the words of President Wilson, “aim to deceive all those throughout I the world who stand for the rights of peoples and the self-government of nations,” is the subject of the leading article in this week’s LITERARY DIGEST, dated June 23d. The article, using the President’s note to the Russian people and his Flag Day address as a basis, makes very clear just what America is fighting for and the peace I that must come. It throws the light of public opinion in this country, as shown by the newspaper press, upon the President's words, and shows that they are not only a warning to the Russians to avoid the fatal error of deserting the Allies, but, in the opinion of the Pittsburgh Gazette-Times, they are “also a warning to Pro-German neutrals and to Pro- | Germans in this country.” The article also gives answer to those who favor the making of a separate peace by Russia. 1 Among other topics of almost equal interest and importance which are treated in I this issue of the “Digest,’’ are: “We Have Tasted Liberty and It Has Made Us Drunk ’ I Remarked Russian Minister of War, Kerensky, and, in the Opinion of the Foreign Correspondent* in Russia, He Spoke the Truth.
