"And now they're going TO name a

KAISER In BERLIN
TO MEET CRISIS
Returns from Front and
Appoints DR.. Helfferich
Vice-ChancellOr.

London, May 2o.-Emperor William
returned suddenly to Berlin this morn
ing to settle the ministerial crisis, &C
cording to kilograms received from Ber-
lin in Amsterdam, says a Reuter- dis
patch from that city.
His arrival was kept quiet, as the
Emperor wished to avoid a popular
demonstration. The Emperor is not
stopping at the royal castle, but at
Potsdam.
He received the Imperial Chancellor,
Dr. Won Bethmsnn-H ollweg, and DR..
Karl Helfferich, Secretary of the I'M
perial Treasury, on his arrival. IL is
not expected that the Emperor will re-
main long in Berlin, and will leave for
the Russian front after the crisis is
over.
The "Berliner Tageblatt" states that
Dr.. Karl Helferich has been appointed,
TO succeed DR.. Clemens Delbrueck, as
ce-Chancellor.
Inc lageolatI hIso Says Ihas D"iN"
Won Schoylemer, Prussian Minister Of
Agriculture. has been relieved of his
post, and that Herr Hoesch, Con-
sentative member of the Reichstag, has
been appointed TO succeed him.
The retirement Of DR.. Delbrueck as
Vice Chancellor and Minister of the
Interior resulted, it is believed, from
dissatisfaction with his methods of dis
tributing food supplies. Baron Won
Schorlemer was also criticised unfavor-
ably in the recent Reichstag debate on
food regulation.

Anna Dollie Ledgerwood Matters is
seeking to prove her child, petitioned
Judge lands in the Federal Court to-
day for writ Of habess corpus to OBJ

Nuns and nurses from the Misericor-
dia Hospital, at Ottawa, Canada, have
testified that the child known as Irene
Matters was born to Margaret Ryan,
who at the hospital was known as
"Jessie Bryan"

try without the consent of either Of its

CORNET KILLED SLEEP;
AVENGER STOLE SLAYER
BlackSmith'S TOOts and Neigh
bors' Threats Rest in Peace.

Gaetano Saverse, who works over an
anvil in the daylight hours, struggles
to become a great cornetist by night.
That is to say, Gaetano did struggle to
become a great cornetist. Last night
no stones, abusive remarks or threats
were hurled at his windows by angry
neighbors, for all was silent within.
For several weeks Gaetano has been
endeavoring TO master the rudiments
Of music by working industriously over
the cornet between 7 o'clock in the
evening and midnight. During those
hours neighbors have made such
threats as an get you before morn
ing!" Kill it, or we'll kill you!"
When the blacksmith reached home
last night he discovered that his apart
ment had been broken into and his
beloved cornet stolen. Nothing else
was molested.

FLIES ONE OF WARS
HORRORS IN EUROPE
Bad as Shrapnel, Says Returning
Sculptor-Fly Paper Needed.

Flies are now as much of a menace in
Europe as Zeppelins and shrapnel. &C
cording to F. n. Tonetti, the New York
sculptor, who has recently returned
from the war front. As a result Of his
description Of the agonies endured by
the wounded soldiers tormented by
these pests, two million boxes of fly
paper will shortly be sent TO the war
zone by the women Of the Vacation
War Relief to fulfil need as great as
that for bandages or medicine.
Beyond all words and all power Of
imagination is that great black swarm
that hovers over everything" Mr.. To-
netti said. "They take away sleep and
appetite; they make life intolerable
Sometimes amputations have 10 be
made without waiting 10 get back to
the hospital, and then the flies are an
added danger. Everywhere you see
wounded soldiers tormented BY the
flies, and often without hands TO brush
them away"
After trying various methods Of kill
ing flies while on duty in the ambu-
lance corps, Mr.. Tonetti finally decided
that the long strips Of fly paper were
the most efficacious. and he had often
caught as many as 10000 flies in a sin
gle day by this method. Among the
other services performed by the sculp-
tor while abroad was the invention Of
an extensor for use in setting broken
bones.

"but the aid given by the women Of
America, and particularly By those OF
the Vacation War Relief, is wonderful.
Our country will be forever loved be

Austrian Headquarters (via Berlin

Austrian crown prince, ArchduKe
Charles Francis, who was only recently
intrusted with his first high command,
continues to force the Italians back

other offensive movements in this war,

of properly handled artillery.
The Austro- Hungarians began their
operations after assembling adequate
artillery, which incA1ded numerous new

Charlotte. n. c., May 20.-Presidcnt
Wilson. speaking here to-day at the
celebration of the l4lst anniversary Of
the signing of the Mecklenburg Dec
laration of independence, told his hear
ers that Americas example of bringing
all the world together on terms of lib
erty, cooperation and peace was pro-
phetic sign to mankind.
Involved in the European struggle,
said the President, is the very thing
that has been going on in America
competition of national standards, ma
tional traditions and national politics.
Europe" said he, "has grappled in
war as we have grappled in peace to
see what is going to be done with these
things when they come into hot contact
with each other. What you see taking
place on the other side of the water Is
the tremendous almost said final
process by which a contest of elements
may in Gods process be turned into a
coordination and cooperation of ele-
ments.
"For it is an interesting circumstance
that the processes of the war stand
still. These hot things that are in
contact with each other do not make
much progress against one another
When you cannot overcome you must
take counsel"
Presidents Talk Significant.
The reference was given significance
by the Presidents hearers in view Of
recent discussion of possibilities Of
ending the war.

"to think the spirit Of this occasion
could be expressed If We imagined our
selves lifting some sacred emblem OF
counsel and peace, of accommodation
and righteous judgment before the ma
tons of the world and reminded ther'
of that passage in the Scripture
after the wind, after the earthquake,
after the fire, the still, small voice o.
humanity"
Before speaking President Wilson
reviewed a parade. Afterward he was
guest at a luncheon, motoring later t.
Davidson College, where he once was a
student. At the college he visited the
room in which he lived as a student.

Presidents Speech.
President Wilson's speech follows:
do not know, my fellow citizens,
whether | can interpret for you to-day
the spirit of this occasion, but 1t IS
necessary when we get together IN
like this to take counsel
together with regard TO just what 1t IS
that we wish to celebrate.
You will say we wish to celebrate
the memories of that time TO which we
look back with such pride. when our
fathers with singular wisdom OF coun-
sci and stoutness of heart undertook
TO set up an independent nation on
this side of the water; but 1t is very
much more important that we should
remind ourselves of the elements with
which our forefathers dealt. There
were only 100000 citizens in that
original Republic of the United States
Of America; now there are lOO,OOO,0OO.
Ii is a long cry back to those modest
beginnings; a great period OF time. not
only. but a great period OF profound
change separates us from that time,

Guns Smother Italians.

The Austro- Hungarian guns succeed
ed in smothering the Italian guns IN
the sectors where an offensive was
planned, and thus the infantry was able
to begin work on Monday in the noun
tains between the Brenta and Etsch
(Adige) rivers. Since then bitter noun
tain fighting has been continuous.
Picked troops, under the crown
prince, succeeded on Wednesday in
throwing their opponents back across
the border directly to the east of Ro-
vereto and occupying the outermost of
Italy's permanent frontier support
points.
This position is especially important,
since II commands Arsiero, which is
communication and assembly point for
the Italians. Repeated attacks by the
Italians from the Sugana Valley against
the Austro- Hungarian left flank were
beaten back, and the Austrians capt
ured Capomolon and Tabaro, both part
of Italy's defensive outpost frontier
line and both highly important posi-
tions, since they are situated on eleya-
tions Of respectively 1880 and 1879
metres.
Say Italians Lost a Corps.
The position at this point also en-
abled the Austro- Hungarian artillery
10 flank the Italian positions on Col
Santo. at an elevation of 2,ll4 metres.
Special troops Of mountain soldiers
were enabled to reach its northern slope.
These troops attacked and extended
their efforts westward, clearing the val
lev on a line running from Capomolon
10 Marco and Mort, both Of which the
Italians were compelled 70 abandon.
The Austro- Hungsrians estimate that
the Italian losses here reach complete

Comparative quiet prevails on other
parts Of the front, with the exception
