Kaiser Gives Army Simple Menu.


The kaiser's desire to promote temperance
and simple living among the officers of the
German army and navy was recently mani
tested by an imperial note circulated among
the regiments. The note, which emanates
from the emperor direct, states that during
a midday meal which the kaiser attended
at one of the regimental messes he was ex-
treme,y annoyed to see the luXurousness
and profuseness displayed in regard to the
table delicacies, including French cham
payne.
In his note the emperor expresses a de-
sire, tantamount TO command, that when
he is at present at any regimental meal the
menu should be restricted to the following
items Soup, fish, vegetables, roast, cheese,
butter
The beverages should consist of simple
red or white table wines or claret A glass
OF German champagne might be handed
rounded on occasions as an accompaniment
while "Braten" is being served LIQUORS
after meals are tabooed, also other beyer-
ages.
These restrictions. together with the en-
peror's endeavors to suppress all expensive
sports in the army, such as polo show his
keen desire to bring the German officers
mental and physical qualities to the highest
standard possible

An interesting exhibition was opened on
Tuesday at the National Art and Crafts
School. on 10th street, of pottery, metal
work, basketry. book binding and other
examples of artistic craftsmanship. The
work shown was that of the instructors and
therefore of a high order of merit.
Surprising indeed was it to find that SO
many accomplished workers were here in
midst and that such excellent art OBJ
ject5 were being Produced so close at
hand The pottery. for which Mrs. Belle
Barnett NeSey was responsible, was par
tcularly attractive, showing variety both
in color and form and in the matter of
decoration admirable feeling. Clays from
different localities were used and different
glazes employed with pleasing effect and
novelty. The book bindings too, by Miss
Marian Lane, We're notable, being diSnified
in design and perfect in workmanship. 1t
is said that few books are worthy of a
binding which will last 400 years. but some
merit such clothing and it is delightful to
find binding which is not only permanent

POLITICAL PROBLEMS OF AMERICA,

DEVELOPMENT. BY Albert Shaw,
LID New York: The Columbia Uni
versity Press. Washington: Wood
ward & Lothrop.
This volume is composed of a series Of
lectures delivered the opening course
upon the new Blumenthal foundation in Co.
Iumba University. The author considers
that the United States is only at the begin
ming of the history of a great blended fam
lily of white men of European stock. Thus
far the history that they have made has
been that of an initial period of development
and Of adaptation to the conditions present.
ed by a new country Mr.. Shaw has dis
cussed, In the present volume. the political
phases of this early stage of development
In doing this he has endeavored to show
how each political problem is a part of the
attempt to develop free, democratic So
ciety, homogeneous people. In such
connection the problems of sectionalism and
unity, OF immigration, race and citizenship
of economic policies such those relating
to railroads. money and the tariff have new
significance.

Mrs. Kingsley's new novel is, to q certain
extent a sequel to her earlier success That
is. Billy Brown and his wife appear again
and attempt to live out certain of their So
cialistic theories. They take a nat in the
heart of the slums and attempt, by living
the life of the tenement house classes, to
learn their needs and formulate plans of
helpfulness. But Billy Brown has a young
sister Agatha, who. although a school girl
has views of her own. She is hurt by her
brothers detection because. before the ad-

less schemng brings the couple to the
point of taking the momentous step that in
sures their happiness. Now 1t Is Etarre
who shamelessly encourages a young fellow
to defy his parents and marry the girl Of
his choice regardless of worldly considera-
tons.
OF course both Pelleas and Etarre are
painfully conscious Of their weakness in
challenging all the maxims of the prudent
and there is no little humor in the picture
Miss Gale has drawn of these guilelesS old
people furtively rejoicing in their desperate
plots.
But the final touch of humor is In the
character Of their servant Nichola, sour,
grabbed matter-of-fact, unromantic, old
italian woman, who under a pretense of
serving them has terrorized them for years,
and who in the end turns out to be the
most hopelessly romantic and Soft-hearted
creature imaginable. Nichola is constantly
venting her scorn of the delightful benevo-
lences INDUCED in by her master and mis-
tress and as constantly furthering them by
every means in her power as soon as their
backs are turned.
This Is indeed the spirit of the whole
book-half whimsically humorous, half SEN
timentally romantic and wholly delightful
in its own kind. 1t is full of those happy
touches that make book real.

Wesley Gilchrist. the negro who ss- capped from the custody of Captain Will liam Whiting more than a year ago. was escorted to the county Jail at the point of a 4s calibre revolver yester- day by Captain Whiting. The well known bailiff of the City Court was making sure this time that Gilchrist would not escape.
 The incident of Gilcnrist's getting away happened in February. 1908. The negro had just been convicted before Judge Thomas of embezzlement. He was handcuffed and given over to the custody of Captain Whiting to be ta- ken back to jail. When Captain Whit ing and the prisoner reached the mid- de of Washington Street. the negro asked Captain Whiting how long he thought his sentence would be, and Captain Whiting responded that he Judged Gilchrist would receive a healthy penalty. Thereupon the negro
