SAYS PRESIDENT
 WILSON IS DUE
 TO BITE GRANITE
Dr. Kaempf Declares Wilson Wants to Sow Discord in
 Germany.

Amsterdam, May 3-The German Reichstag resumed it's session yester- day. The president of the Chamber Dr. Johannes Kaempf, in his opening address, speaking of the entry of the United States into the war, said new and mighty opponent had joined the ranks of Germany's enemies. Presl- dent Wilson in a message to Congress onPApril 2, he declared. said he was swaging war against the Germans in the interest of mankind and on the ground of justice.
 President Wilson, Dr. Kaempf con- tinued,- had lost his sight in making this assertion, since he had not stir red a finger to hinder England when England announced her war of star vation against Germany, a war in violation of all human and interna- tfonal rights. President Wilson had lost his sight when he rejected the German proposal to assure the lives of Americans on American vessels in certain routes, which carried no com traband and by this rejection exposed his own companions to danger and death.
 President Wilson, said Dr. Kaempf, represents the German peo- pie as without will of their own and as having been driven into the war by~a group of ambitious people, but he tells nothing of 1thel long years of encirclement- and machinations against them, nothing of the enemies recently. strongly expressed will to destroy Germany.
 'The German people rose on Au. gust 4, 1914, as one man, and still fight today to defend their freedom, Independence and life. President Will son says he has no quarrel with the German people, for whom he only entertafns sympathy and sfriendship.
 President Wilson desired by his message to sow discord in Germany. As President of the German Reich stag, which is elected on the freest : franchise in the world, I declare that this effort will come to naught; that 1t will have no influence on the com mon sense of our people and that President Wilson will bite granite
 This remark evoked thunderous ap- plause.a F., er At.saf
 with our truest hearts blood we established the German Kaiserdom, and with our truest hearts blood we shall fight for the Kaiser and the empire. (Renewed applause). What our forefathers fought for and longed for, what we. have achieved on the battle field, will not perish, even at President Wilson's word of command.
 We decline all interference by a foreign government in our internal affairs. IfsaH signs -ere not mislead- ing the decisive point Of the worlds war is approaching. We see our death defying troops withstanding the enemy's assaults.
 "Our TT-h0af9 will Shou Etn nd how Germans can avenge her nefari- ous starvation war. We proved re- gently our financial strength by a sixth war loan. We adhere to our firm belief in Germany's star and in peace which will assure for all time the Fatherland's happy develop. ment" Ag
 There was fresh outburst of ap- plause as Dr. Kaempf concluded, and the Chamber then proceeded to the second reading of the budget.

FREIGHT RATES
 ARE DISCUSSED AT BOSTON MEET
Chamber of Commerce Is Much Concerned Over
 Proposed Increase

: Boston, May 3-A conference of chamber of commerce building today to discuss the proposed increase in freight rates. The meeting was call ed by the transportation committee of the chamber, which sent a notice to hundreds of New England firms saying in part:
 There is a general desire, patrio- tically, to meet the present difficult situation, but New England pays for long freight hauls and New England rates already have been greatly ad- vanced. There is danger that the range of territory in which New Eng land can possibly sell goods will be greatly cut down."

FLAG RAISING AT
 BRYANT FACTORY ON NEXT SATURDAY
Elaborate Ceremonies Planned for Raising of Big Banner
 on Plant.

Patriotism at the Bryant Electric Co.'S plant, State street and Hancock avenue, has culminated in prepara- tions for the raising of a large flag upon a recently erected staff on the big office building.
 The ceremonies will take place at noon time Saturday, when nearly D. 900 women and men will march in parade in Hancock avenue, Fairfield avenue and Butler street, headed by militiamen, officers of the company and the Wheeler & Wilson band.
 Because it will be necessary to shut down the machinery at 11:15 a. m., the company has announced that it will pay every employe in the big plant full time wages to noon, al though the various departments will be forming in company rank and marching for Old Glory.
 As now planned the formation will be p1atoons of four with the women in the front rank and the men in the rear. This attenuation of costume is novel and is expected to produce good marching results.
 Military officers who have recently observed women marching declare that their time is equal if not supev- for to that of men, and ascribe the unison and regularity of step to the fact that women are more proficient dancers in the average than are men. Following the parade all will be held '.at rest on the north side oi State street while the big flag is raised upon the roof in full view of the as- semblage.
 Small flags, one for each marcher, are being provided throughout the factory and enthusiasm for the event reigns supreme in the various depart ments. It is the intention of those raising the flag that it shall fly every day untiI peace is declared.

Conner Had 4 Heart

Here is a potato theft which
showed the cop to be a real humani-
tartan: A little, frail, white-haired
old woman, her bent shoulders v
cred with a small shawl, came down
an Eastside street toward the corner
grocery store. In front of the store
she stopped and glanced hastily
around. Her trembling old hands
came out from under the shawl, seized
two or three potatoes on the top of a
basket and were drawn back under
the shawl again. For a second she
stood there, her thin lips moving as If
in prayer, then she went on. Not ten
feet away stood a big patrolman with
his back turned resolutely toward the
store and his gaze fixed across the
street. The storekeeper was singular
ly unobserving. AS soon as the little
old woman had gone the big cop
turned to the storekeeper and re-
marked: "She's fixed for the day,
eh?" "Yes, all right for today I"
laughed back the storekeeper.-New
York Times.

Then and Now.

We never heard the word efficiency
in those days, so far as 1 can re-
member, outside the physics labora-
tory. Would to heaven it had stayed
therei 1t must not be supposed, how
ever, that we did not work when we
did work. AS / look about me, l do
not see many young men under our
present efficient systems who seem to
be working harder. Somehow we de-
rived from the old men a thirst for
knowledge, a restless curiosity, a joy
ous knight-errantry in the quest for
truth. Surely, that teaching which
can induce students to pursue their
researches voluntarily outside of the
classroom is the best kind of teaching.
/ get the impression today that
most of the joy of college life is con-
fined to the student body, and that
that is often hectic. The faculties
seem to me overworked, over-serious,
lacking in what we call pedagogic
faith-faith that the student may be
trusted to get some good out of leis-
ure. / suppose that we shall have to
blame, as usual, the Zeitgeist. Crowd
ed curricula, multlform student &C
tivities," and all the full-steam and
weighted throttles of modern eff
cheney are pushing out of college life
just the one element that should be
characteristic of it-time; time for ru
mination, day-dreaming, thought

FIRST HUMANS BLACK HAIRED
interesting Theory Formulated by
American Expert on Conditions in
the Tropical Regions.

Lieut.. Col. Charles E. Woodruff,
whose long experience as chief medi-
cal officer Of the American army In the
Philippines makes him an expert on
tropical conditions, has written a book
called Medical Ethnology," in which
he advances some interesting theories
on dark-skinned and white-skinned
races. The Lancet, in reviewing the
book, says:
"The author holds that the first hui
man beings were black-haired animals
but not black skinned, as their seat of
development must have been in a cold
country where conditions of life were
hard, necessitating a great develop
ment of brain, since only the most In
telligent could survive. They were
originally cave-dwellers. After a time,
when the earth was largely peopled
with this race, there arose a large
blond type in northern Europe-Nietz-
sche's 'blond beast" the Teutonic SUI
perman-who established himself In a
dominating position in many countries
by right of conquest.
ITO this race belonged the ancient
Greeks, the original Romans, the rul-
ing race in Egypt, and so forth. IN
fortunately this type tends to die out
when ii migrates from its native eli
mate, and so in time the Romans died
out and their empire fell to pieces and
the glorious period of the Greek intel
lect was short-lived. In the same way
white races fail at the present day to
establish themselves permanently in
tropical climates"
The Lancet quotes also some of
Colonel Woodruff's opinions on the eff
feet of light, which he considers al
most wholly harmful to white men.
"The dark skin of tropical races
serves as a protection by cutting of
the rays of light it also assists the
body in radiating heat, but at the
same time favors absorption from a
hot environment, so that dark races
stand such heat as that Of a stokehole
worse than light-skinned people.
Contrary TO common opinion, the
author holds that bright light is bad
for children at school, rendering them
restless and irritable. The neurasthe-
mia which affects white residents In the
tropics and their children is due, he
considers, largely TO excessive light,
aided doubtless by high temperature"

Poplar is a quick growth and is in
good demand for the making of
matches. Recently two steamships
have been loaded with the wood for
European ports and the cargoes
brought large profits to the shippers.
With all kinds of forest trees rapidly
disappearing from the face of the
American continent. this tree might
be made a paying crop for many Sec
lions of the country. The time is COM
ing when we shall need wood and
there will be little wood to be had.

OLD PRESCRIPTION
FOR WEAK KIDNEYS

Have you ever stopped to reason why
it il that so many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason Is piain-the article did not fulfil
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to a medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy ia
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need of it.
A prominent druggist says, Take for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root, q
preparation l have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify
No other kidney remedy that l know OF
has so large sale"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DR.
klmers' Swamp Root is due to the fact
that, SO many people claim, it fulfls al
most every wish in overcoming kidney
liver and bladder ailments, corrects ur
mary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.
