German war which made an emperor
of his illustrious grandfather. That
friendship persists to the present mo.
ment so far as my simple self Is con-
cerned, but our political paths went
wide apart in 1S96--the fear of the
Jameson rald--when published
much that could not be pardoned by
a Hohenzollern.
SO much by way OF preface, II
sounds egotistical-perhaps 1t Is!
William H., so far as have been
privileged to see him at close guar.
ters, has never told lie nor ever
publicly called others liar in order
to shield himself.
He has frequently, to my knowl-
edge, accepted the responsibility for
questionable words and acts of
agents whom he might readily have
disowned or sacrificed to the public
wrath.
Nay, will 60 a step further and
afirm that the emperor has never will
fully misled the public by false or
ambiguous phrases. He has angered
many. He has done no end OF things
which his friends would have given
worlds to have undone, but he has
never been slippery OF crooked.
And that II one reason why today
his people acclaim him with genuine
warmth.
Another reason Is that william III.

Here you have key to his CON-
pick character.
In these days of self-advertisement
and pandering to political parties the
German emperor is woefully misun-
derstood merely because he tells the
truth without Undergraduate (hind
thought).
He has honorably sought to main
tain peace, even when he knew that
he was strong enough to crush the
antagonist that was 90 foolish as to
insult him. Russia for 20 years and
more has treated William ii. and his
government with marked disrespect.
The first visit OF the present car
to Germany was made In manner
that would have been followed by
war had the host been Frenchman.
William II. has submitted to many
affronts from Russia because on his
death bed the venerable William I.
enjoined upon his grandson the i'm
portance Of close alliance with the
court Of St. Petersburg.
In the early nineties Russia sys-
tematically attacked the German
schools, the German language and
the Lutheran religion In Russia's old
German Baltic provinces.
The Germans appealed to William
for protection. The Poles we're ready
to rise at his orders and expand Ger
man territory to the eastward. The
German general stan was ready. Ger
man public sentiment was at his
back.

father

ablest military advisers of that time,

Germany has escaped SO far the

Germany has been growing rich
over 40 years of peace. She has de-

art, but manufacturing and COM

Old Emperor Franz Josef Of Aus

TWO POLICEMEN
UNDER ARREST
Alleged to Have Insulted Man
and Wife-Ohicers IntOxicat-
ed, Citizens Say

Surrounded by an excited crowd of
citizens at Elizabeth and John r..
sts., Tuesday night, as they held a
heated argument with Mr.. and Mrs.
Clayton Oatman, Of No. 220 Meldrum-
ave., Patrolmen Robert Weir and Jo-
seph Adamson were placed under ar
rest by Detectives Repp and Wilson,
and taken to headquarters, for inves-
tigation. Citizens had complained
that two intoxicated policemen were
causing trouble, but the detectives
report that the men did not seem to
be intoxicated.
Mr.. Oatman declared that the off,
GERS had followed his wife and him
from out Jefferson-ave., near the
bridge approach, and had insulted
them.
Oatman said that he complained to
the officers, because tlDy had their
feet on the seat which he occupied
In street car, and were soiling his
clothing. The officers removed their
feet from the seat, but when Oatman
and his wife transferred from the
Jefferson car to q Brush car. the two
policemen, who are attached to Nc
Clellan station, also transferred.
When Mr.. and Mrs. Oatman left the
ear at Elizabeth-st., the oficsrs fol

Three German Ships Sunk?
Tokio.-The belief was expressed at
the war office here that the German
cruiser Cormoran and two other Ger

under conditions favorable to the
Allies.
The cavalry are fighting even fur

communication says operations have
developed almost to the North sea.
Nearer and Nearer to Antwerp.
The present front is within about
sixty-eight miles of Antwerp, where
the Belgians offered such heroic
resistance to the bombardment of the
heavy German artillery. Further down
toward the center of the line the Sc

Reims again has been subjected to a
short bombardment.
AeropIane Bombs Deadly.
During the last week German avi-

channel from England The Ger

Holland May Fight.
TT fall of Antwerp places Holland
srunreiy between the millstones OF
tritiah and German interests. For
.nntwerp TO be of any use to Germany
as , base for naval or aerial opera
tiuna5 against England the kaiser
must control the mouth of the Scheldt,
which is altogether in Dutch hands.
Germany is urging the Dutch govern
rhent to relinquish that control. Such
diplomatic success by Germany would
hr Il direct violation OF the neutrality
of Gtolland.
Trouble for Holland.
There is little possibility that Ger
nsny will be able to secure Hollands
consent to the use OF the mouth of the
Scheldt in order to make Antwerp a
naval port. Such acquiescence would
he followed by disastrous conse-
quences TO the people OF the Dutch
Kingdom. They would be considered
participants In the war and a British
feet would blockade all Dutch ports.
The present plight OF Holland is bad
enough and a blockade would mean
practical starvation OF the kingdom.
Heavy Cavalry Action.
IN Northwestern France on the

of the contendlng forces now reach

those points masses of cavalry con-

the antagonists seem content to

Cording to military strategists. At

ORDER ISSUED BY COL. LOckETT
IN COMMAND OF THE FED
ERAL TROOPS.

Nestern Newspaper Union News Service.
Trinidad, Colo.-Miners who volun-
tarily seek employment in the coal
mines of the strike districts of Colo
rado, occupied by the federal troops,
will not be prevented from going to
work, but will be given full protection
by the federal authorities.
This was emphasized in an order
issued by Col. j. Lockett, in command
of the federal troops.
The order embodies a communica-
ton from the secretary of war. which
was in reply to letter submitted to
the War Department some weeks ago
by Colonel Locllett asking the secre-
tary of war to clearly define the pol
icy of the government relative to the
employment of men in the coal mines.
This inquiry was sent to the War De
partment owing to the comment of a
number of coal operators throughout
the state at the time that the orig
inal order of the War Department was
made public in the month of July,
which provided that men seeking en-
ployment in the mines must be, among
other things, residents of the state of
Colorado. The language of this order
was considered to be somewhat vague
as to the general provisions relative
to residency.
The order just made public plainly
asserts that liberal construction
must be placed on the word resident" /"
and that the only purpose of the War
Department and the President of the
United States in issuing the order had
been to prevent the importation of
strike breakers on the part of the coal
companies. but that no other class of
workmen would be prevented from
going to work.
The order clears the atmosphere re-
garding this feature of the coal strike,
and the policy of the government in
relation to the employment of men
cannot be mistaken. The operators
declare they have not been importing
any men, but they have employed only
such men as they needed and such
men as have voluntarily come to the
mines seeking employment, and under
these conditions the federal authorities
will not interfere.

Eastern Battle Line Long.
The big battle line between the com
bined Austro-German armies and the
legions of Russia extends from the
Galician frontier, near Tarnow, north
20 the East Prussian border. Another
| Russian force is besieging Przemysl,
in Galicia, and still another Is invad-
ing Hungary. On the East Prussian

come to a standstill for the present.
The Russians have driven the Ger
mans back. after their advance to the
Niemen river found, on getting to the
German border, that re-enforcements
had been brought from Koeni gsberg
