5000 WOODMEN
COMING TO CAMP
Great Crowd is Expected For
State Meeting to Be Held
Here May 6.
KNOX COUNTY INSURGENT
Only Delegation in Illinois That Will Be
Composed Entirely of Oppon-
ents to Head Office.

1t is estimated by F. o. Van Calder,
editor OF the Modern Woodman, that
there will be 5000 members of the
NJ. w A. in Rock Island May 6, the
date of the meeting of the state camp.
While 1t is too early to predict accur-
ately the size of delegations yet many
counties have asked for hotel rese-va-
tons naming approximately the num-
Der of their representation. Regardless
of whether they are insurgent or ad-
ministration delegations we are max
ing the reservations as desired" said
Mr.. Van Calder today.
Knox County Insursent.
From Galesburg word is sent that
the city will send a delegation of 200
by special train. Knox county of
which Galesburg is county seat, claims
to be the only county of the state
which is strictly insurgent in organ
ization. All camps of Knox county
have gone enthusiastically on record
as favoring a complete change in of
fees of NJ. w. A. The county was one
of the first to organize. 1t is entitled
to four delegates.
Cook county will have a delegation
of 400. it is assured. 1t has a delegate
body of 80 to the state camp. Mr..
Van Calder says that the state camp
will bring a larger crowd to this city
than it has ever experienced before
at such a meeting. The spit in the
order will lead to the forming of larger

When the news of England's dec
garation Of war on Germany was re-
eeived in Berlin it was night and all
ahe great cafes we're crowded. In
one OF the largest and most splendid,
tine Pieeadiny Cafe 1.-THE Germans Of
ten gave English names to such
places, tremendous scenes took place.
The orchestra crashed forth the mar
rIal measures of the national air, men
Ieaped to their feet shouting curses
and defiance, fashionable women in
evening dress sprang upon the tables,
r~d with flaming eyes exhorted the
tz-,ers present to fight "cowardly and
treacherous England" (das feige und
faIsche England) to the death. And
similar eruptions occurred in hundreds
of other places. A day or two after
the Cafe Piccadilly changed it's name
TO something more genuinely Ger
man"
remember the impression this par
ficular cafe made upon me during
my last visit to Berlin, writes Her
man Schefauer, in the Saturday
Journal 1t stands on a corner of
the lively Potsdamer Platz and is one
OF the most gorgeous and pompous
cafe-restaurants in the world. 1t
reared up pale and stately in the
daytime, an immense structure of
stone and plate glass. At night it
became a towering mass of light,
color and lustrous gold. Almost the
whole interior could be seen from
the street. The imposing decorations
of marble and mosaic, of frescoes, mir
rors and great electroliers were bath
ed in foods of subdued light. The
interior galleries and balconies seen
through the great sheets of plate glass,
furnished a curious spectacle with
their crowds OF fashionable diners.
Where did all these people, bent on
dining out, and spending SO many
hours a day in cafe, come from?
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1914-11-09

1t was puzzling. The Frenchman and
the German both have the cafe habit
the American has developed the res
taurant habit--but the Germans, or
rather the Berliners, seem to have sue
cumbed to both. Home life is GER
tainly not yet thing of the past in
Berlin, for even in that dissipated
capital family life is still powerful
bond.
The explanation lies partly in the
fact that in Berlin there is always
a large floating population of pleas
ure-seekers, not only from the city it
self, but from all parts of the En-
pire and other countries. And Ber-
lin has deliberately made sights" of
its great eating and drinking estab-
lishments. Moreover, in order to
enjoy this particular luxury. it is not
necessary, as in other cities, for the
guest to spend lavish sums. One is
not expected to order a complete, elab-
crate meal. A glass of wine, cup
of coffee or chocolate with the rich
cakes and whipped cream so popular
in Germany, will suffice. You may
sit for hours over your glass with
out exciting the hostile glances of the
waiter. The guests chat read the
newspapers or illustrated weeklies,
write letters or post cards, listen to
the music. and watch the ceaseless
life and movement of the Platz. The
German uses his cafe much as the
Englishman uses his club.
eve have made a science as well
as an art of comfort and luxury"
said a prominent citizen of Berlin to
me. I'VE have taken the old Ger
man Gemuthlichkeit' (of which the
Germans are said to have the mo-
nopoly), modernized it, and set is in
gorgeous frame, but still German
frame. We are no longer a simple,
homely people-as you foreigners
imagine-but very modern and com
