The police of Germany perform many
functions unknown to the police au-
thorities Of other countries. One of
the most striking examples of grand
motherly supervision which they ex.
ercise over the German nation is to
be found in the regulations which
they issue regarding the vacations of
dwellings at the end of each quarter.
Throughout Germany practically all
dwellings are let by the quarter, so
that removals take place at the end
of March, June, September and De-
cember respectively. In every locali-
ty the police regulate the precise
hour at which, at the end of the
quarter. dwelling the tenant of
which is leaving must be vacated in
order that the new tenant may move
in.
In Berlin the police issue the follow
ing minute regulations concerning re-
movals at the end of March Dwell
lings consisting of two rooms must
be entirely vacated by the evening OF

relief. In the midst of this stood a
golden cross upon the center of which
was hung single full blown rose. The
hall was in somber gloom during the
ceremony, the only lights being from
the tapers of the mystic feast. AS the
ceremonial progressed, one light after
another died out, and finally with a
hush OF solemn impressiveness a
gloom prevailed throughout the apart

the glitter of sword hilt and the
tones of the officiating officiating
brethren combined to create a scene
of great impressiveness.

They Have Some Duties to Perform
Which Would Seem Out of

Officers.

pondent of the United Press
BERLIN, April 15.-Melchior Len
vel, the author of the play "Typhoon..
which was Germany's dramatic sen.
sation in 1910, has written a new
play entitled "The Prophet which
promises to surpass It's predecessor
in the public favor
The keynote of the The Prophet
is the expression Of profound dis
gust at the hypocrisy of modern civil
ization, and it's most powerful scenes
are portrayals Of the shame and false
hoods of social life among the
most highly developed nations of the
world.
The hero of the play Is a young
ne'er do we'll, Percival, who poses
as literary man, but who really
does nothing but enjoy life in an idle
and sometimes dissipated manner.
During the absence of a celebrated
explorer, in Polynesia, he makes love
to the latter's wife, Sybil, who, fasci-
mated by his alluring exterior and
charming manners, forgets her duties
to her absent husband.
In the first act the husband is rep
resented as having returned from his
journey of exploration, and at party
given in his own house, he endeavors
Gus attentions which the young man
has paid to the explorers wife. Per-
cival denies his guilt, and offers, by
way of proving his entire lack of in
terest in the woman, to leave Lon
don Immediately and to go to Polyne-
STA to live among the natives, and to
promote the suspicious husbands busi
ness interests by compelling them to
work in the mines which the explorer
has discovered.
The remaining three acts take place
| in Polynesia, where Percival has APP
peared among the natives in the dis
guise of a god BY various devices,
he succeeds in deluding the natives
into a belief in his divinity and by
virtue of the influence thereby gained
over them, he induces them to work
| in the mines. Although Perciyal has
done no good to the natives and has
indeed burdened them with many
hardships, they show remarkable
devotion to him, and finally his heart
is touched to such an extent that he
himself is transformed from ne'er
do we'll into a man of high character
IS At this juncture civilization appears
on the scene in the shape of Sybil,
who has come to search for her lost
admirer and recognizes him in spite
of the strange appearance which he
has acquired among the savages and
notwithstanding his grotesque cos
tune. Perciyal Is in imminent dang
err Of succumbing to SYPHILIS wiles
when her husband also appears and
reproaches Percival as a .treacherous
liar. With whip he thrashes Per
ciyal who orders his devoted savages
to kill the Englishman. The explorer,
however, has a band of we'll armed
followers who, with their modern fire
arms are more than match for the
natives, and simultaneously with their
defeat, Percival is shot

Carl Kautsky, the principal theoret-
ical exponent of socialism in Germany,
has abandoned the devotion to free
trade which has hitherto character
lied the German socialist party and
joined the ranks of the few revision
lists on the side of the protectionists.
Kautsky has published an elaborate
treatise setting forth his belief that
the high protectionist duties imposed
on corn imported into Germany have
not produced an increase in the cost
of bread, and he warns the members
of the socialist party from propoga-
ting free trade doctrines among the
peasants of the country because such
a policy will inevitably ALLEVIATE them
from socialism inasmuch as they are
firmly convinced that their prosperity
is absolutely dependent upon the
maintenance of the present tariff

The great possibilities for agricul-
-tural development in Maine, says the
Portland Argus, are brought wildly
to mind by the signal success of the
Maine exhibit at the national corn
show at Columbus, Ohio. Professor
Bell, of the University of Maine, who
is in charge of the exhibit, sends word
that the Maine exhibit won first prize
in the national sweepstakes for first
corn; FIRST and second prizes in the
world class for early and late sweet
corn, and fourth prize in the world
competition on sheaf wheat. Here is a
sweeping demonstration of what
Maine soil and climate, in conjunction
with intelligent brain work, can pro-
duce in corn and wheat. This victory
for Maine corn products in national
competition should have stimulating
eject that will be far-reacning. A
portion of this prize winning exhibit
will be included in the agricultural
exhibit at the Ellsworth food fair.
