The Stratford Evening Post WITH WHICH IS INCORPORATED THE EGMONT SETTLER TUESDAY, OCTOBER 5, 1915. GERMANY'S DUPES.

How Germany tricks her poo,- dupes is well illustrated, by the fact, that German newspapers now bpldly assert that,the Kiii.soj-,is not only the German Kmpetfor,, but.iilso jEmpevol.iof Austria , because, in point of fact; the Austrian military authorities , and statesmen actually take: their orders, from the Kaiser without any reference to or consultation with their own Kmperor at all. Certainly, if the accounts one heals are hall' true. Franz Josef is a very feeble mental wreck-, hut what his friends can be doing to! allow German Wilhcim to force his ,/Way in to the extent he is doing, is incomprehensible: It is said that the Kmperor of Austria now seldom leares his palace at Sclionhrunu, hut > |( >t long ago was persuaded that he ought to show himself for a little in the capital. On reaching Vienna lie wa s told lie would assist, the loyal feeling • which even in Vienna is at least: strained) if he went to some of the! military hospitals. Prince Monte-! Xeuvo. the first court marshal, arranged the date, and the Kmperor was duly informed of what he had to do. and the <>hl monarch nodded appro-1 vingly. On the way to the hospital l Prince .Monte-.Xeuvo once more told, his master what he would have to tell the brave wounded, thank them for their devotion, and express kindly wishes us to their recovery. The. old Kmperor rather irritably intimated that lie knew that perfectly well, but on reaching the Hospital, after the formal reception at the gates, on he-' ■ I ing shown into a huge ward with linn-, dreds of wounded soldiers eagerly waiting for their Kinperor's word,' Fran/. Josef raised bis hand, and in a loud voice, declared the "exhibition" i open. It is a sail ending to a luckless' iider's days. The evil domination of (Germany lias done much to bring about Austria's downfall and the wonder is that those who have the power to resist do not do so. Turkey's doom must b(> before their eyes: driven by Herman intrigue into conflict which caif only end in ruin. the Ottoman Kiupirc will soon be a tiling of the I past. Hulgaria, with all the near evi-, deuce of Herman evils about her .is, I nevertheless, last succumbing to tiio, evil advice of the treacherous Huns and her weak ami greedy rulers are trembling on the verge of strife the people do not want. but which will in all proba bili t \ w ipe i his t urbulent Stale oil' the map.
