The Oh, So Very, Very
Harmless Kaiser Who
Merely Controls Germany

The Kaiser is frequently-we' say
generally-defended against the charge
of welding an autocratic power over the
German people, by the claim that he is
as helpless as man who is informed
that it is time he was leaving for the
train to meet his mother-in-aw.
Defenders of the Kaiser viii tell you
that he has nothing whatever to do with
government in Germany; that paria-
ment is responsible for it and that the
people name their own representatives
in parliament.
In this manner, pro-German propa-
ganda attempts to explain that we have
falsely charged autocracy to a country
that is really democratic.
This explanation will not deceive any
one who is acquainted with the facts.~~
1t is true that the government Of
Germany centers in parliament and that
the system is so conceived that first
impression would leave the Kaiser quite
out of the scheme, as helpless and as
harmless as his defenders declare him
to be-
1t is just as true that the system IS
controlled by the Kaiser, in the light Of
which fact he becomes again the auto
crat we know him to be.
The Worlds Work for June performs
for its readers the patriotic service Of
enlightening them on this point ~
showing that what Germany presents
to US as a representative government is
that very thing - representative, how
ever, mostly Of the Kaiser
Germany has taken q democratic doa
and left it to its fate in autocratic hands.
1t has a representative government to
a certain extent only, and that extent IS
the will of the Kaiser

Justly claim te be a vast improvement
over Germany, and Detroit was given

The members of parliament are elect,

In Every Precinct in

There has been organized in Ken
lucky what is known as "The Thirty
Thousand Campaign" under the d.
rection of Mrs. Cora Wilson Stewart.
This movement has come into being
to meet q very definite need.
1t developed that 10000 Of the men
of Kentucky between the ages of 81
and 80 who registered on June 9Th,
were not able to read or write. 1t is
obvious that when these men are
drafted into the army, and particular
ly If drafted for foreign service, that
they will be under the very great hard
ship of not being able to write let
tiers back home or to read the ones
they receive. They will also be un-
able to read the various military rules
and regulations laid down for their
guidance.
Deplorable as 1t Is, Kentucky's per-

ing to John Ray, of near Fairview,
Fleming county, while eating corn,
got small ear of frozen corn lodg-
ed in its jaw where it became in
cisted and remained until few days
ago. when the horse in lying down
and rolling over, broke the cob which
was enclosed in what may be termed
sack. A veterinarian was called and
removed the two pieces of cob. Ex-
animation showed that the cob had
petrified and was as hard and heavy
as stone, resembling blue rock. Mr..
Will Ogden furnishes us the above
item, and tells us he will bring the
two pieces of petrified cob to our Of
fee sometime when he comes over
from his home in Fleming county.
