The emperor then treated the COM
pany to a eulogy of the late King Carl

whose good work, he said has been
undone in a few months by the hun
ger for sold and power of certain agi-
tators.
AT the conclusion of the lunch
which consisted of meat and fish
courses and bread and cheese, about
the same as might be served in
middleclass household. the kaiser said:
1T is unworthy for any German to
live well when even the best people go

foodstuffs is common property which
by Just division is sufficient to keep
us alive for an unlimited time and
which permit us to await final victory

Grounds To Question"Judgment

a sum of money, amount not stated,
to Ambassador Won Bernstorff thru
Hugo Schmidt. The bank acted upon
instructions from a source generally
responsible for the payment of salaries

The Deutsche Tages Zeitung makes
the Bolo affair the text for an attack
on the judgment and ability of Won
Bernstorff, whose candidacy for i'm

feared by the pan-Germans.
Bolo Pasha, now under arrest in

$1,700,000 from Won Bernstorff, then
German ambassador at Washington,
to finance his activities in France
which included plan to bring about
a separate peace between France and
Germany, according to testimony OBJ
