I Spent a day iii the first niie trench-

the German officers towards America.
Six Generals and one Bavarian Prince

everywhere along these sections of
the battle front. The highest gmger
sreferred repeatedly to Gcrmany’s cor-

one oi’ the trips a Uoloneltkickcd up

The village of (iarency is a heap of

Dr. Fullerton then refcrretl to the
atrocious murder of the hundreds on
the Lusitania aiitl the noble way iii
which they met death. und in this con-
nection he said that the Auglo-Saxon-
its weretemancipnted and let home to

Christ, cannot fight by fair means btit.

it would be an insult to the iloly God

treachery, to remain silent in the face
of such a crime. It would be unjust
to humanity to allow this monstrous
deed to go unpunished. if this thing
must go on our civilization must
cease and we had better cease at the

After eloquently dealing with the

concluded:

THE CURSE OF THE HAPSBURGS.
The reign of l~`rnncls Joseph has
been ii long and troubled one, biil the
troubles of his family life have been
far greater tltuii those oi' his dominion.
Many oi' his nearest and dearest rela-
tives have niet violent deaths. llls
brother, Miiximilllan, Emperor oi`
Mexico. wus deposed and afterwards
shot by Juarez. The Crown Prince
lttitlolpli niet u tragic death, the iny-
stery aurrounding this has iir-.vcr been
cleared up. but the generally iiccepted
version is that he was it suicide.
Another cruel blow wus the assassi-
nation oi' the Empress I-llizabctli-one
of the klntlest und best nf wtntiuit- -
just its the prepnri-itlons for the cele-
bration of the Einpcror’s 50th anni-
versary were about completed. The
tlisnppct-irniicc of Arcliduke Jnlin, the
iitcsulllniit-es_ol' Archdnke Henry, und
of Stcplianic. widow of Rudolph. are
among the ninny nilnor troubles flint
have fallhii to his lot. _The (‘urse of
thc llnpsbnrgs is lnld licavily on
one is tlnit Coiiiitciis liiirol'/.i, frantic
over the execution of lier son i'or
‘|iarticiputioii in the iiuiigariaii revolt,
tit' 1848, publicly cursed the Emperor
and predicted it violent death i`or all
his faiiiily. Another version is the
story of the ravens, tvhich dates back
to the lltii century. A flock of ravens
is siiitl to have reiitlered a service to
ii liapsburg. anti us u reward were
allowed utitlisturbctl occupation ol' the
lurrcts ol' thc Castle at Aar. Two

nian_\' folks dccinretl they saw the
birds with lilaximilliun before his de-
