TheEhalts. who had conducted the Fulton House during the past three years, left the famous old hostlery between two days last week, taking with them the fur niture that is said to have been the property of Mrs. Ehalt, and leavine unpaid bills with most of the business people in town. The Ehalta were experienced hotel people and made their guests feel at home: but they had not learn ed the art of making a hotel pay without selling liquor; and when they lost their license last winter they found themselves up against it, and took this method of ex tricating themselves from an un pleasant situation.

Notwithstanding the fact that the Germans are making Hercu lean efforts to break through the allied lines, rush to the walls of Paris, and there under threats of the destruction of that beauti ful city, dictate terms of peace, the general trend of the war is satisfactory. Despite progress of the enemy on the map, the Allies are mak ing still greater progress in the matter of power. This is due in part to the rapidity with which America is now coming into the fight, plusthe growing confidence of British and French in their ability to hold fast until we arrive in adequate force. Germany's refusal to admit coming defeat is quite comprehensible. Though unwilling to make the admission, Prussian leaders undoubtedly know that militarism is doomed; that the superior resources of the Allies, reinforced by the oncom ing flood of American soldiers, will ere long destroy their power for good. They are too intelli gent to really believe that in their present condition of decline they can accomplish their world wide ambitions. But out of sheer desperation they prefer the chances of ruin rather than con fess defeat. They are taking the gambler's chances and plunging with the utmost recklessness, hoping to secure all the advan tages possible and do all the in jury possible before the fateful peace parleys begin. The great er their winnings now, the great er the chance they hope of using those winnings as an offset to the Allied terms. Of course German military leaders will not admit such contingencies; and by skill fully deceiving its civilian popu lation and buoying them up with doctored reports of great victor ies, dreams of Mittel-Europe, etc., they have been able to keep the war going. So the cruel game is still on for the purpose uf maintaining a criminal gov ernment which has wrought hor rors and immoralities that stag ger humanity. The Rehoboth M. E.
