Those He Fears Most.

"The people he fears most are the
anti-militarists, anti-Prussians, Lib
eral Republicans who want the
Reichstag to be based on universal
suffrage. That is why Wilhelm is so
anxious to convince the nation that
he did not want war. All his pro-
testations are made to appease the
Liberals and his famished and ruin
ed subjects whose mumurings are
growing stronger. He wants to con-
tinue popular at any price and that
is why he spoke the first word Of
peace. The people are grateful for
it, but the submarine war came and
spoiled everything.
ut is hard to realize how this En-.
peror who enjoyed a popularity un-
exampled in our epoch suffers in his
pride. He alone perhaps in Ger
many knows the whole truth since
he alone has in his possession the ele-
ments for forming a Judgment on the
situation as a whole. How can he re-
sist morally and physically under
such a strain? Certainly he hopes
sometimes, but less and less, for the
success of the unrestricted subma-
rine war which he opposed. He sees
the isolation OF Germany become
more and more complete.

iments; Pennsylvania, First and
Third regiments; Maryland, Fourth

Bitter Struggle.

THE other day at the meeting of
the parliamentary presidents and
the ministers of the federal SOW
ereigns. at which the submarine war
was decided upon, tho struggle be-
tween the Kaiser's party and that of
Won Tirpitz was most bitter. The
majority against the Emperor was so
great, however, that he was obliged
to submit and pretend that he was
convinced. In particular he was per-
sonally opposed to break with
President Wilson, but he was forced
to consent. Documents will be pub
lished one day which will prove that
secretly he did everything not to
bring America down upon him and
that he considers that the rupture
was an irreparable mistake. The
failure OF the submarine war will
soon show that he was right, but it
will be too latc.

Thrilling Trip Home.

On the boat, THE Empress ofAsia,
on which Mrs. Dan McAvoy returned
from the orient, were 1900 coolies
who were being transported across
the Pacific, through Canada and
across the Atlantic to dig trenches.
The rumor was that the Germans
were very DESTROYS Of sinking that
ship because Of the coolies, and so
they were obliged togo out of their
route to avoid submarines and TO
keep their port holes darkened at
night. During her stay in China she
frequently crossed the path of Mr.,
and Mrs. Phil Metz, who were in
kyoto when she left for home.
