Some Germans Hate Kaiser.

London, June (12.-An instance of
German Kaiser hatred was described
by wounded engineer.
In house in one of the villages
we captured a few days ago that had
evidently been some kind of a head
quarters there was a large picture
of the Kaiser on the wall. Several
German prisoners were brought in
the house. One of them on seeing
the Kaiser's picture spat on it. We
asked him why he spat on the picture
and if he was a Saxon.
No Englishman," he replied; I'm
Prussian, but I'm fed up, and he's
the devil who started this"

ASK SENATOR JONES TO RESIGN!CO[0
COALITION
CABINET IS
PROPOSED


WASHINGTON, d. c., March
lO.-What promised to be the
bitterest house organization fight
OF recent years probably will
crumble beneath urgent patriotic
considerations. While leaders to-
day made partisan claims as to
how the body would be shaped
in the coming extra session, they
confessed that they will not check
vital business by political bicker-
ings.
Republicans and democrats
alike said 1t is far better to have
a coalition organization, if nee
essary, than to stand before the
world in this crisis as nation
divided from within.
AS matters now stand, the
house has one more republican
than democrat. with several indie
pendents holding the balance of
power. Both sides court the ia
vor of that power.
And while everything will be
done to align these men with one
or the other great party, it SEEM
ed likely today that republicans
and democrats will shape their
organization course Jointly,
should it seem a futile fight to
obtain this favor.
While house leaders are work
ing hard at the organization prob
lem, the senate has combinations
and the Colombian treaty as the
chief business in the special SEES
sion.

 Let us cOncede that the critics are right, what does 1t mean?
 It means first of all that the discussion of the issues was so thorough that the people were fully informed before the baloting and they approved the general course of the President
 But 1t means more than that. It that re- liance should not have been placed upon argument because if we concede that Hughes and Roosevelt talked too much and that the attacks the Presi, dents administration were too specific argument on the issues eliminated Therefore, the decision must be that reliance should have been placed the cam paign fund contributed by the big interests and the more or less silent pressure that was stronger from Wall Street than elsewhere.
 The record of the voting would indicate that the experts have concluded rightly and that the most potent influence in behalf of MT. Hughes was the aforesaid fund and the pressure that was applied r the States where 1t could be effectively used Out in the open where organization counted for less and where the voters could not be easily reached, VII son was successful
