THE UNSUITABLE KAISER.

Dispatches from Berne show tha
the Kaiser has no intention to de
part from his program.
The German Government will no,
disclose what its peace terms are
further than that mo indemnities
and no annexations" is not its guild
ing principle, and, apparently, will
not consider Government reforms
until after the war.
The agitation, designed to force the
Government to institute reforms and
prove its claim that this is a defen-
sivc war in Germany by disclaiming
all aims except defense, has failed.
If there are to be changes in the
Ministry, they are not to involve
Bethmann-Hollweg, who is quoted
as saying that he considers it his
duty to remain as Chancellor for the
protection of the Fatherland. The
Chancellor being purely the creation
of the Emperor, he would not have
said that without imperial approval.
Therefore, the task of the Allies
remains the same and the unrest
among those elements in Germany
which are seeking to hasten peace by
reforming the Government and soft
ening German war aims will con-
tinue
1t would be folly, in the absence of
proof to the contrary, to suppose that
the German people will not be stead
fast. even when many of them feel
that. they have been misled and mis-
governed.
Nothing but the defeat of Kaiser
ism and Junkerism in way that can
not be misunderstood will convince
them that they are victims of war
mad aristocracy-St. Louis Republic.

German "Alien Enemy"
Buys Liberty Bond

Rome, n. Y. June IA German
'alien-enemy" walked into one of
the Rome banks this morning and
purchased $50 Liberty Loan bond,
according to a report received at
Rome Defense headquarters this
morning.
When it came his turn to see the
bank official, he aroused the latter's
suspicion by carefully asking three
or four times if there were any peo-
pie who could not buy bonds if they
had the money. He also wanted TO
know when a person bought a bond
IL his name became public in any
way. The banker thought he was
dealing with a demented person un-
til he questioned him more closely
and then it developed that he was
German born, still a subject of the
Kaiser and a Reservist. He came
to this country and to Rome three
years ago and since then has been
working in one of the big copper
mills here. His wife and everybody
to whom he is related lives in South
ern Germany.
Ills caution ana MS lnSlStent QueS-
tions, it developed, were because he
feared if his identity became known
he might be subjected to danger at
the hands of German agents. He
went on to say, that in various way
he had been able to send money to
Germany to his mother and his wife
until the last few weeks. What he
had saved since he wanted to put
into a Liberty Loan bond. He was
asked how he thought he could con-
sistently do this and he said in
rather broken English:
My woman and my mother are
starving in Germany because the
Kaiser wants the world. ] can't send
them any more money. So 1 will
save my money and buy bonds to
help the United States which is 60
ing to end the war and make Ger
many republic.
Il was sacred. They told me if
United States went to war Americans
would take all my money and things
and send me away to Mexico to
starye or put me to prison. But l
ana working here and l get my pay.
Nobody bothers me. l am a Ger
man, but l like the way America
does and l buy a bond. When l get
more money l buy another"
And with a roll of bills he paid
for $50 UNCONVENTIONAL.

Threat of Jail Gives
Stacker Different View
of Enrolment Duty
BY Associated Press

New York, June Z. - What little op-
position to the draft registration has
developed here received a setback
when Charles Francis Phillips, one of
the most ardent of the anticonscrip-
tionists, pleaded guilty to a charge of
failing to register Tuesday and an
nounced his willingness to comply
with the law.
Phillips, who is a former Columbia
University student made his back
down when he appeared before Fed
eral Judge Mayer. Just before he went
into court, his sister pleaded with
him to change his course.
Reading from a prepared statement,
Phillips said that his failure to reg
tster was not due to a cowardly effort
to evade the law, but was in the in
terest OF peace. He said he would re-
serve the right to question the consti-
tutionality of the selective draft law.
The Court announced that sentence
would be deferred until after next
Monday, when Phillips will be tried on
previous charge of conspiring with
two Columbia students to distribute
anticonscription printed matter.
