KAISER ORDERS USE
OF A OWNING ROD
Sends Man to Southwest Africa
to Locate Water for
Army.

BERLIN, Jan. 26.-Curious interest
attaches to the announcement that
Emperor William has commanded
Herr Won Uslar. the chief Government
official Of Apenrade, province Of Schles-
wig Holstein, TO proceed TO German
Southwest Africa and find subterra-
mean springs by means of a divining
rod, Won Uslar has a wide reputation
as a water finder in Schleswig- Hol
stein, but scientists refuse to admit his
claims that he has discovered water
by means Of divlning rod.
Success Is Attested.
The Emperor heard of Won Uslar and
ordered the Minister of Public Works
to inquire into the matter. The Min
istry collected testimonials from pro-
vincial authorities which seemingly
proved the extraordinary success of
Won Uslar In discovering water veins.
The Emperor thereupon decided to
utilize Won Uslar's powers for the pur-
pose OF alleViating the chronic water
famine in German Southwest Africa,
where the German troops are serious
ly handicapped by lack OF water. Won
Uslar Will sail for South Africa on
Sunday.

fus- aaeriace

Secretary shaw Offers Eimself a Liv-
ing sacriace.
The Shaw tariff speech that he is de-
liyering to Republicans in southern
states follows 90 closely the stand pat
&rEurnsn.s of the inspired Republican
campaign hook that one is forced to
believe that TIA expert" who is re-
puted to have been the author Of that
claims everythingS compilation must
ESQ have written Shaw's speech. But
whoever wrote the Shaw speech ex-
posed the fallacy of the whole argu-
ment of the advantage of selling abroad
cheaper than here by assuming that
the producer and the consumer belong
to tive separate and distinct classes In
stead or being the same mass of people.
Mr. Shaw says that "if it was neces-
sary to pay more for his clothes, his
shoes, his sewing machine, his type-
writer and his barbed wire, he was
willing $50 long as the productsn Of
American looms elot' - and the prod
ssuets of American lAbs1 geneEaily u sup
ply every need Of those who produce
these things thus sold abroad at re-
duced prices" Secretary Shaw thus
sacrificing himself on the altar of his
country for the benefit Of the balance
of us is species OF altruism only ex
hihited when the exig " les of Repub-
Ncan campaigns require such sacrifices.
These workingmen for whom Mr.. Shaw
Is 50 willing to impoverish himself,
who receive American wages, also pay
American prices, and the value Of
their wages is determined by what
their wages will buy Under the trust
breeding era of the present tariff law
the average price of ali commodities
has risea Al per cent since 1897. If
wages or incomes have not kept Tece
with that extraordinary iniation then
the consumer, whether workingman or
tradesman or professional man, is los
ing by the trust fostering system that
compelg him to pay higher prices for
many OF the necessities of life than the
trusts ssA the same necessities 70 tha
fcrssgrer for.

or the Republican politicians of the
