'■ r * • HfcfU "The Imperial Government is now on the defensive at home, and is compelled to deal in con crete fashion with the growing dissatisfaction of the German people," is a significant fact that stands out clearly and distinctly in the opinion of the New York World. Nevertheless, in the minds of other cautious American editors, we are warned not to expect too much from the crisis in Berlin, for Ger many is not Russia, nor is Wilhelm a Nicholas. The Boston News Bureau, however, perceives that whereas in the early days of the war, "all was vaunted political unanimity in the Fatherland," to-day, "the vast change in the military setting has its counterpart in the political transformation. Disillusion has brought dissension; confidence has given way to criticism; lines of faction are deeper than ever, over grave issues of war aims and war conduct." Vorwaerts, the German Socialist organ, in a warning to the German Government, re marks, "let none be blind to the fact that at this time a certain unrest is spreading throughout the nation." In THE LITERARY DIGEST for July 21st, the leading article shows every angle of the significant developments that have been taking place in Berlin during the past.few weeks, and the in fluence that they will exert upon the conduct of the war.

The State has oiled the road from MarysviUe, through the eastern side of Enola, and through West Fatrview and Wormleysburg. Leaving tfco West End of the bridge there is not a bad stretch of road in this section. The thoroughfare from Lemoyne to New Cumberland, which was in a bad condition, has been oiled and repaired.
