ALLEGED PLANS
Of KAISER
(By United Press Association. }


PARIS, March THE Kaiser plans
to establish powerful confederation
Of central and near eastern European
states. He seeks to bring 100000
Austrians, Hungarians, Serbians, Ru-
manians, Montenegrins, Turks and
Greeks under German domination.
This is the opinion of Prof. Masaryk
former Bohemian leader in the Aus
trian Reichstrath, who escaped from
Austria at the beginning of the war
and has spent his time since in France
and England, the soul of the move
ment to restore Bohemia's independ-
ence. He discussed the situation re-
Gently with Premier BRAND and was
encouraged by the premier to pre-
serve in his effort to free his country
from Hapsburg rule.
The surest way to prevent realiza-
ton of the pan-German dream is to
upset the Hapsburg dynasty, Prof.
Masayrk says. Otherwise he asserted
even after Germany has been beaten
she will still be capable of further
harm. Her vulnerable point, as he
views it, is Austria Hungary.
The Hapsburg family, he urges up
on Premier BRAND, is Germany's
slave and while it continues to reign,
Austria will remain under German
control. Not only is there no pros
pect that Austria-Hungary will turn
against Germany, as some imagine,
but pan-Germanism is gaining ground
at Budapest as well as Vienna, the
Prof. insists.
But if Austria-Hungary should be
eliminated as a national entity, it has
been suggested to the Bohemian lead
er, would not Germany necessarily
and the Austrian Germans to her own
citizens, thereby gaining strength by
about 100000 population?
Yes, of course, agreed the Professor
but that would be better than at pres
ent, for now, with the Hapsburgs' help
Berlin's rule extends indirectly over
100000 Austro- Hungarian subjects
Austria's destruction would not
mean destruction of the nations of
which Austria is composed, adds the
professor, nor would the Hapsburg dy
nasty's overthrow necessarily mean
that these nations could not consti-
tute a federation, but if such feder-
alton is to exist, it ought not to be
under Germany's wing but under the
wing Of the allies.

COMFORTING WORDS.
Many a Grand Rapids Household Will
Find Them So.

To have the pains and aches of a
bad back removed-to be entirely free
from annoying dangerous urinal dis
orders, is enough to make any kidney
sufferer grateful. The following ad-
vice of one who has suffered will prove
comforting words to hundreds of
Grand Rapids Readers.
Mrs. L. j. Thompson, 512 Johnson
St., Grand Rapids, says: "My young
est boy was afflicted with weak kid
neys from birth and the kidney Sc
cretions seemed to be beyond his con-
troll.
Two or three boxes of Doan's Kid
ney Pills quickly cured him and the
trouble has never returned. It is a
pleasure to recommend Doan's Kidney
Pills to all mothers who have children
afflicted in that way. Doan's Kidney
Pills are great favorite with US, as
we have found them very reliable"
Price SOC at all dealers. Don't sim
ply ask for a kidney remedy-get
Doan's Kidney Pills-the same that
Mrs. Thompson recommends. Foster

One Goes Insane and Is Buried Alive
(By United Press Association.)

(By United Press Association
WINNIPEG, Man, March 4.-Eigh-
ty Indians snowbound in the extreme
north of Saskatchewan, near Water
hen Lake, today face insanity and
starvation. Authorities admit their
inability to reach the marooned men
until the coming warm weather. Snow
there this year has been heavier than
in 1895. One member Of the tribe
was buried alive when he went insane.
One straggler managed to get through
the drifts to a telegraph wire, but
efforts of relief parties to follow him
back failed completely.
Without ammunition, nets, traps or
blankets, the Indians plight is pitiable
Digging through six feet of ice to get
fish is nearly impossible. -Four
Months, member of the tribe, went
insane from lack of food and shelter.
His tribesmen, knowing of nothing
better to do, buried him. An educated
healer in the tribe heard of this and
dug up his unbalanced fellow tribes

Some encouragement was added to
the hopes of those who wish to see a
new post Office building in this city
this morning when Post Master Rob.
L. Nash opened a bundle from head
quarters and found that the depart

regulation United States flag. This
is something, if only the beginning.

all we ask is that they begin at the
foundation and build up so that the
flag may be used.

Grand Rapids started to score and
piled up Is points before the first half
was over. New London scored five
free throws in the first half.
In the second half, the Rapids team
let up in its aggressiveness and only
scored seven points. New London an
nexed five more free throws and one
lone field basket.
Two subs played through the sec
ond half on the Rapids team; Palmer
going in at forward and later taking
the center position when Smith was
out for personal fouls. McSwain
went in at forward when Palmer
went to center.
The Rapids men outweighed the
New London men and many fouls
we're called, especially on Smith, every
time a Rapids man fell over one of
their lighter opponents.
This makes eight victories for
Grand Rapids out of nine games play
ed. The only defeat was at the hands
of Wausau on Wausau's own floor.
The scores made by the Rapids play
ers were:
Field goals-Johnson 5, Starks l,
