 1.-The Kaiser further remarked:

''The Kaiser further remarked:
 "'In any case the greatest gain of our nation will be that it is won back, it is looking up to God, that it is real ized that one cannot do without him.
 The Kaiser spoke openly of that which night cause the German nation to los this inner gain, the passion for pickering and criticising,' he said, and one was aware how not without a touch of wilfulness the Kaiser grieves at this inherited racial failing of his nation, not because it merely concerns him, the State or the Government, but because a nation with this old German vice itsele bars the road to its own good.
 ''The Kaiser added: T have often racked my brains as to how this was to be remedied, by orders or laws. The change must come. One must have from within an inward balance, then one from without.
 "I have the impression that the men now lying in the trenches will be quite different at home.'
 "'The Kaiser is filled with pride in his army and nation. He said: One cant help saying that our nation is great in that without grumbling or blinking an eyelash it has staked it. self for the great cause and sacrifices itself for it.
 Thus earnestly and with real rev. erence and piety spoke the Kaiser, to whom now so much power is given in our fate and the fate of nations. The pale shimmer of the kerosene lamps mingled with the dim light of the dy- ing day fell on pair of calm earnest, firm eyes. When conversation turned to the sacrifices of the war his eyes flashed wLen brave deeds were spoken of. They gleamed like gold when jest gave occasion for a laugh. He noted two field chaplains with first class Iron Crosses and had them tell him how they had won them while still under arms. He joked with a Bavarian, incidentally remarking that, some day one would be astounded when all the anecdotes of the heroic deeds of individuals became known. Everything the Kaiser said was full of good nunor and joyousness.

WAR IS TURNING
 NATIONS TO GOD,
 KAISER ASSERTS

Berlin, July 20.-Interesting utter ances by the Kaiser regarding the spir- itual side of the world war which are not without significance at this partic- ular time, are reported by Dr. Ott, division Field Chaplain. who partici- pated in the Congress of Protestant Chaplains of the west front held last April at the Great Headquarters.
 ''In the afternoon" says Dr. Ott, the Kaiser bestowed the good fortune on us of appearing in our circle in the garden of a soldiers home. He stood before us by no means altered, fresh and with the elastic strength of youth, only perhaps somewhat slenderer than formerly. Joyous vitality pulsed in his eyes and that was in the days when the attack on Verdun was in it's hardest stadium. One was transported by him into the atmosphere of the calm security of confidence and firmness for half an hour. He spoke to us quite informally. now in a light converse tional tone, often laughing heartily, now. earnest and emphatic, at times with strong temperament, but always sur in his expressions, often coining phrsses of classic sharpness. A band Of warn fellowship bound us from the very first moment. With an expres- sion of kindliest goodwill he greeted us. His words were to be ineradi- .cabH writ in our hearts and souls.
 Without any circumlocution or asides the Kaiser gripped the spiritual puls. of the times by saying:
 It is a time of winnowing. The world war separates wheat from chaff. )u gentlemen have the task of work ing to the end that the German nation miy learn to turn it's thoughts to it. self and accept these times as times of trial. One must recognize the tests and trials in life.'

Business and Booze.

A carefully prepared article In the

the entire country are rigldly lining up
against drinking employees. Many Of
the largest business concerns have. IL.
sued orders forbidding men In their
employ to visit saloons or resorts where
liquor Is sold.
These h9 business concerns make no
pretense u carrying OH a mnral cru

upon the efficiency and reliability Of
their men. The things prohibited"
