structed being used for mess, kitch-
sns. supply depots and the like.

KAISER REFUSES TO
 LET WIFE VISIT.HER DYING ROYAL SPOUSE

Paris, April 27.-Excelsior pub fishes what purports to be an account of the last moments of Prince Fred erick Charles, the Kaiser's nephew, obtained from an officer now in Par is who saw the Prince a little while before he died. The nurse who att tended the royal patient told the of- ficer that the Prince, knowing that he was not likely to live, requested that his wife be allowed to visit him. The French and British at once ac- quiesced, and the request was for warded to Germany by way of Spain.
 A few days later, says Excelsior, the letter came back with the word "Abgelehnt, (refused) Wilhelm I. R." scrawled across it. The Prince at once recognized his uncle's hand writ ing and flew into a passion, exclain- ing, 'I know why Wilhelm won't al- low my wife to visit me. He knows she would speak out the truth about the famine threatening at home. even in the highest circles, the diScontent among the people, growing every day. She also would have told of the dis may spreading in the Imperial Court. which feels the colossus, Germania, beginning to totter."

 DIRE RESULTS

London, April T-The British Board of Film Censors last year re- jected 500 out of $500 films submit ted to them for inspection. Among the grounds for the rejection ,of films are the following:
 Imp4rsonation of the King: scenes holding mp the Kings uniform to contempt
 Incidents tending to disparage Eng land allies or to disturb friendly re- 1ations with them
 Propaganda films of German ori- gin; incidents calculated to afford in formation to the enemy; scenes de- ipicting too realistic horrors of war
 Trreverent treatment of death: ma iterialization of the -conventiAl figure of Christ
 References to controversial or in- Iternational politics; scenes tending to Idispara&e public characters 'and to create public alarm; antagonistic re- 1ations of capital and labor.
 Nude figures; scenes purporting to illustrate night nfe'': vampire wo- men; the drug habit; white slave traffic; excessively passionate love scenes
