The condition in which the blood becomes so thin that the whole body suffers comes on so gradually that anyone with a na- tural disposition in that direction should watch the symptoms carefully. Bloodlessness can be corrected more easily in the earlier stages than later. It begins with a tired feeling that rest does not overcome, the complexion becomes pale, slight exertion produces breathlessness and headaches and backaches frequently follow.

For months I had been overworked, and bereaveâ€" ment added the last straw necessary to break down my constitution. I had a severe ever-present headache and pains in the back of the eyes,’ and at the same time I was seldom free from severe neuralgic pains. I was rarely hungry, and when I was it seemed to create a morbidness which made my other ills harder to hear.

He has been ab- sent from Germany almost all the time since the beginning of the war, literâ€" ally living in semi-exile in Switzer- land. Even regardless of the outcome of this phase of the great struggle, it is believed by many to be certain that the hour is imminent for the Prince to resume the Imperial Chancellor- ship. In well informed circles no doubt is entertained that Prince von Buelow will be at the head of affairs when the day for making peace is at hand. He has had no part in any of the acrimonious controversial questions, in the ruthless methods of applying submarine warfare or in the throw- ing of bombs from Zeppelins on wo- men and children. He will return, as it were, with a clean slate, as a man who has been absent, and who, on coming back, can undertake to some extent the role of mediator between his own country and those it has tried in vain to ruin. As a diversion of public sentiment in Germany, when it is realized that the hope of reopening a road to Paris or that the rolling up of the French line is impossible of accomplishment, it is said that even the great general staff will welcome the return of Prince von Buelow. And yet between Prince von Buelow and the great gen- eral staff no love certainly has been lost. The Prince when at the head of the German Administration was accused by the military party of being too radical, of weakening the obedience of the people to the State as repre- sented-by the army, and of allowing democratic and even Socialistic ideas to spread. The middle classes now recall that the Prince was the great promoter of German industries and the greatest single factor in developing German commerce. The Prince has begun to loom up like a savior to whom the nation may turn irf its distress and perplexity. No other person in Ger- many of conspicuous eminence is in a position to receiVe any considera- tion from the entente Governments. Germany Needs Him. In connection with the prospective return of Prince von Buelow, a pro- minent personage in Switzerland, whose name is withheld, is quoted in the Paris Journal as saying: industrial and commercial Von Buelow became Imperial Chan- cellor in 1900 and entered on a career which is toâ€"day recognized as having been prolific of benefit for the em- pire. His aim was to create a great Germany and to him is to be attributed an extraordinary measure of the credit due for the amazing progress which Germany made in the decade during which he was Chancellor. _ In his efforts for the material bene- fit of the Empire Prince von Buelow had the coâ€"operation of Emperor William, but he utilized the Emperor and did not allow himself to be the instrument of the latter. No other Chancellor had ever dared openly to oppose the Imperial methâ€" ods. Not even Bismarck in his most powerful days would have dared, it is believed, to deal with his Imperial Majesty as did Prince von-Buelow. “Prince von Buelow is in retire- ment simply because he is reserving himself for a great task. He is the only political hope of modern Ger- many. It was he who started the Liberal empire in spite of all opposi- tion, and it was he who brought about a new era -for the empire by sbarting a line of policy which would have created a greater Germany, but which the incapacity of violent lead- ers of the military party upset in a few weeks. ‘ “The empire feels itself already so bruised by the war that it wishes to i appeal to its old physician of the days of its prosperity. And if the Whole constitution should be shaken as a result of the war and those who have been the conspicuous figures at the head of the State should be liable to be cast aside who better than the great leader of prosperous Germany1 could come forward to support an un- ‘ popular throne or to reconstruct the edifice from the debris that he will find on hand?” Check, May Checked the Kaiser. ror William sent some indis- élegrams, a notable one being Mont Kruger, and suddenly it WEN BUEWW 1‘0!“ and Militarisls in Seek Terms Allies /\ SK El) T0 '- F was)?

The Emperor uttered a rash state- ment about the “yellow peril,” which proved highly offensive to the Jap- anese, and Prince von Buelow in September, 1905, made a public state- inent rectifying the matter. For every single open indiscretion which he committed the Kaiser found himself openly taken to task by his Chancel- lor. In 1907 the latter referred in his Reichstag speech to the “Court Cam- arilla" and in the following year he publicly referred to the blazing indis- crebion of the Kaiser’s letter to Lord Tweedmouth. Afew months later occurred the crowning indiscretion, the interview given by the Kaiser for publication in an English newspaper. Prince von Buelow immediately offered his resignation. for Playful/C '1‘? $1“?ng FOR Q17?" â€" On retiring he proposed Dr. von Bethmann-Hollweg as his successor and the latter was made Chancellor. The Government, however, soon pass- ed out of his hands to a considerable extent, as successive Ministers of Foreign Affairs usurped the admin- istrative position which Prince von Buelow had held. WEAR When the Prince retired he chose Rome as his future home, his wife being an Italian princess. They se- lected the palace known as Villa Malta and renamed it Villa of the Roses. They were engaged to be married, and called each other by their first names, Tom and Fanny, and he was telling her how he had always liked the name of Fanny, and how it sound- ed like music in his ear. “I like the name so much," he added as a sort of clincher to the argument. “that when my sister Clara asked me to name her pet terrier, I at once called her Fannyâ€"after you, dearest!” “But I don’t think that was very nice," said the fair girl, edging away from him. “How would you like to have a dog named after you?" “Why, that’s no- thing,” raid Tom airily, as he saw he’d made a mistake. “Half the cats in the country are named after me!"
