"I told you I wanted gold, and you bring me requisition vouchers of the German army. Are you trying to make a fool of me, Monsieur ?

"Aren't these vouchers re- deemable ?**arked M. Max, with his most in genuous air.

"Certainly," replied the Marshal.

"Well," said M. Max, "the officers who signed them told me they were as good as bar gold. I return you the gold. What more can you requira?"

Those Iron Crosses Again 1 A Dine who recently returned from Berlin says that, contrary to the general opinion, the Crown Prince is by no means popular in that city. The public blames him for the failures in France. What is most noticeable in Berlia is the great number of very young people and of boys, slightly wounded, whom one meets in the streets. Numbers of them are decorated with the Iron Crose. It is said that the number of these oroeses awarded is already over

00.000.

The animation which may be remarked in the streets is artifi- cial. It is evident that Germany

thinks that the victories are too

long in coming, and the public is dissatisfied with the monotony of the communiques published by

the General Staff.

All factories working for the needs of the army are forbidden to accept private orders. All woollen articles are bought by the Stale; and manufacturers are even proposing to the people who have bought certain articles from them that they should buy them back at an increased price..

Five wagons were entirely loaded with chocolate. On examination, the following inscription was found on each packet: "The Emprats to the brave German troopa for having taken Warsaw." The lieutenant ends his letter by saying: "The sight of the dedica- tion improved the Aavour of the contents for the, Russians.”

Some little time after his arrival in Brussels, von der Goltz sant for M.

The time allowed having ex- pired, the Burgomaater went to Marshal von der Goltz, followed by four of the municipal employees, bending under the weight of enormous packages, Von der Goliz tore the covering of one of the packages and then,
