SAYS ARETOCRACY
BULLDOzED KAISER
American Thinks Class
Jealousy Forced Ger
many Into War.
IBy Cable TO The Tribune

London, Sept. 23.--An influential
American citizen who has lived long
time in Berlin, whence he has just ar
rived, says;
Regarding the Emperor, | must say
he is a fair man. The aristocracy are
not fond of him, and one of the causes
that have led this war is that the titled
aristocracy who are in close connection
with the army are war party and that
they have felt deeply hurt at the manner
in which they have been pushed into
the background, and the lndustrlals
favored the Emperor.
"The captains of industry are most
loyal to the Emperor, while the others
are not. Ny impressions on this poiat
are strengthened by close observation
during the Balkan war. The Austrian
crown prince came to the German EN-
peror and tried to induce him to give
the word for the outbreak of hostili-
ties, but the Emperor remarked, MY
son is rafting too much with my
sword The result was that Germany
refused to assist Austria in the war
against Russia and the Balkan states.
This time, l am inclined to think,
the war party were too much for the
Emperor, and that when he recognized
that England was in the field it was too
late for him to retreat.

THE roof Of the cathedral. like the

was brought inside, not through the
main roof, but through some weak
Point Of the upper side, and | do not

very difficult The heat made it impos-
sihle for me TO make any thorough eX-

same reason, | cannot speak of the
condition of the stained glass win
dows as a whole. Some ! saw this
morning seemed undamaged; others
seemed to be broken. | saw also two
p;ctures which seemed blackened but
whole. | cannot say whether they
we're blackened by age or by fire. Until
the masses of embeTs are eXtingulshed,
it will not be possible to say exactly
how far the interior of the church
and its contents suffered. ! am nope
full that the destruction will prove less
serious than its authors intended.

"A new bombardment OF the town be-
gan this morning. 1t is an outrage as
Reconnaissance as the bombardment
Of the cathedral itself, for, so far as
can see. il serves no military purpose
whatever. The beautiful houses near
the cathedral are in ruins and the
wreckage is still burning. Many other
buildings have been badly damaged, but
am glad to say that the fine Town
Hall suffered nothing more than some
broken windows. Besides the soldiers
wounded and killed, seven more civil
ians were killed this morning, two in
the streets and five in falling, houses.
The Germans have not aimed at the

morning. but in the streets near the

SOW CLOVER SEED.

The best time for seeding red clov-
er is in the spring, and it can be sown
to excellent advantage either by itself
or on fall-sown grain the end of Feb
ruary or during March. Very salts
factory stands are obtained by SOW
ing clover seed on wheat. oats or 9th
cr grains which may have been sown
In the fall, and then running Il sharp
tooth harrow crosswisc over the field,
so as 10 give tn" s"rd slight cover
ing. Running the harrow over it does
not inJurc the grain crop, but inCrcas-
cs the yield, really acting as a culti-
V&tion tN the crop. Glover seed re-
quircs a good, firm seed bed, and SOW
ing in this way, it is sown under ideal
conditions for securing Il good stand.
All throughout the West it is the reg
ular custom to SOW clover seed i'm the
spring Oh practically all fall-sown
wheat or other grain crops.
Sowing Alsikc Glover and Alfalfa IN
Mixture with Red Glover.
Red Glover is considered as the
standard forage and Improving
crop combined, and is moro widely
and generally used than any other
crop for this purpose. The quantity
SoWn to the acre is usually ten to
twelve pounds. 1t is an excellent plan
when seeding to also SOW two or three
pounds OF alSikc clover to the acre:
ana If it is desired to inoculatc the soil
TO- a.lalfa, a seeding OF three to five
pounds OF alfalfa is desirable. Where
these three clOvcrS are Sown in mix
turc, lbs of red clover, 8 lbs Of
Alsikc Glover and 3 lbs of Alfalfa is
the quantity usually sown to the acre.
The advantage of sowing alsike clover
arc more on the lines OF crop insur-
ancc than otherwise, as alsikc clover
is surcr to give a stand, and also
stands more adverse conditions Of dry
or cold weather than other clovcrs.
Advantages of Sowing Alfalfa in CIoy-
cr and Grass Mixtures.
The sowing Of alfalfa with both
clovers and grasses is likely to in
crease the yield considerably, and the
sowing Of alfalfa in mixtures with 9th
or grasses and clovers is one Of the
best ways of testing as to whether it
is adapted to your land, and also of
thoroughly inoculating your land, in
case it is desired to put the land down
to pure alfalfa crop afterwards. -
