DETERMINATION- replaces certainty. efforts not relaxed. Eondon, June I'll. A neutral observer, as the result «>/ further visit to Germany, supplelents the impressions formed in I'Vbrnrv. It is no longer "We shall win i'° rann . ot los«." with the Germans, but here is a grim resolve that all Hist strain every nerve and ounce of nergy, resource and intelligence to stublish the desired result.. Finding t there is no enemy on their so ; b nd that the boundaries of the country ave been pushed beyond their former mits. the Germans elaim.s that up to lie present they have won the war. here is yet no slackening of effort, and - daily 'becomes more apparent that ie resources of men and material are

more vast than even the German* themselves realised. Unless overwhelmed, the main force may resist indefinitely. The Germans are unbroken in strength and spirit, but their complete isolation is affecting the character of the 'people in two distinct and opposite ways. (First, the national spirit, t-ille-d imperial consciousness, becomes apparent. Next, there is the embittered morbidity and brutal vindictiveness, warping the judgment, biasing opiui >ll3 and unhinging the ethical and moral s«nae. The majority of the peoph regard the use of poisonous gas ,13 a splendid triumph for German genius. A chemical expert stated that gas was the coming weapon of German warfare. Though it was still in a primitive state of development, it was certain to supplant high explosives. The phenomenal successes in Galicia, and elsewhere wore due to its use. A few tanks of gas did more work than a thousand shells. The only bar to its complete success was finding a suitable system of distribution. 'l'h ro nghout Genua 71 y, there are 110 shirkers. Every man, woman and child is contributing to the nation's effort. Though many are beginning to realise that the struggle will not bring any ultimate good to Germany, the majority of the people believe in the righteousness of their cause and its final success.

GAS IX THE STOMACH IS DANGEROUS. i :, !IVSrci'AX,S ItKCOXIMKXD THE USE OF MAGXESIA. Sufferers from indigestion or dyspepsia should remember that the presence of gas or wind in the stomach invariably indicates that the slomach is troubled excessive acidity. Tli'h acid causes the food to ferment and (lie fermenting: food in turn gives rise to noxious gases wlii»" '.-steml the stomach, hamper the normal functions of vital internal o is, cause acute headaches. interfere ,th the action of the heart, and charge the blood stream with deadly poisons, which in time must ruin the health.
