ARRESTED FOR NOT KEEP
ING CHILDREN IN SCHOOL

A. D. McGath, of Reservation, was
brought before Justice Of Peace Matt
Johnson last Saturday, charged with
not keeping his three children in
school, on complaint made by S1pt.
VIM. Clinch. The warrant was served
by Constable Peter M. Linnell.
By motion of the county attorney
the case was dismissed by payment
Of all costs so far incurred by the
defendant, and upon the promise
that the children be kept in school
regularly from now on, which he did.
This case developed from a mis-
understanding between the school
board and Mr.. McGath. It seems he
lives about half way between two
school houses and the board ordered
the children sent to one school while
he persisted in sending them to the
other. Finally the teacher was or
dered not to take the children in.
and the past month they have at
tended neither school.

THINKS KAISER MAY
SOON ABDIcATE
Former German Magistrate Believes
Emperor Will Soon Quit Throne.
Kaiser Denounced by Socialist

Paris, March 24.-The abdication Of
the German emperor is forecast by
the former German magistrate who
wrote the celebrated book, "J@Ac-
cuse," in an interview published in
Oeuvre. He says:
"The kaiser is obsessed by the
thought that he is responsible for
the war-a thought which poisons
his whole existence. He feels that
he is menaced by three enemies at
home, without counting those abroad
First is the crown prince, the real
author Of the war, second is the
Junker Pan-Germanist-you cannot
imagine the smoldering hatred of
the emperor for those whom he be-
lieves to be the maniacs who are
driving him into an abyss; third, are
the people, not the Socialist party,
but the people who are starving and
who, he feels, are growing in num-
ber and raising little by little against
those who organized the war;"

Secretary Lansing, at the direc-

to the Netherlands accepting it's Of
fer to take over the work of the COM

The action of the president in or
dering the Americans out was based
on the belief that nothing was to be
gained by Keeping Americans longer
in territory occupied by German
troops in Belgium and Northern

government Of the Netherlands has
been asked to communicate with the

over the work and determine how
many Dutch citizens will be needed

Arrangements for the return to the

DRlVEAWAYS BREAK REC
ORDS At OVERLAND PLANT

Dspite the late winter and the
very poor road conditions this has
ben the most stenuous driveway
season ever experienced by The Will
lys- Overland Company, of Toledo
Ohio.
In other years dealers and distri.
butors residing within 200-mile rad:
ius of Toledo, came to the factory
in April and drove shipments of cars
away until late in the fall.
This season, however, found drive.
aways in vogue even during the
heaviest winter weather.
Practically ever since the an.
nouncement of the new comprehen-
sive line, of the Willys-Overland
Company at the start of the year,
dealers from faraway points in Mich
igan, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Pen
nsylvania, have been Drawing the ele.
ments by driving their cars home to
supply tn immediate demands for the
new models.
From SO to 125 cars are being dri-
ven away daily during the winter
season. These cars, if shipped by
rail, would require from IL to IS
freight cars a day.
If the present freight conditions
are not remedied in the near future,
it is expected with the coming of
better weather even larger part of
the entire production of the WHY'S
Overland Company will deliver itself
to points at far greater distances
than ever before.
A large space has been provided in
the extensive factory garage of the
Willys-Overland Company, where
cars are placed for dealers, who must
notify the company "a hours in ad-
vance of driveaways.
This is but one of the steps taken
by the Willys-Overland Company to
encourage driveaways, as it realizes
that the fewer freight cars needed
to ship it's products, the more can be
utilized for the transportation of
other absolute necessities. =
