Kaiser Don't Know
II, But He Owns
A$5OIberty Bond
PHILADELPHIA. Oct. 26.-phe

PHILADELPHIA. Oct. 26.-phe
Kaiser owns a Liberty bond.
One was purchased for him
here yesterday. Gustavus Remak,
jr., an attorney, with offices in.
the Bullitt building, was the pur-
chaser.
Remak has been handling funds
OF German estates here. In set
tling an estate recently he had a
balance of about SEQ, which be-
longed to the imperial German
government. He applied $50 Of
that amount to a Liberty bond
yesterday to help America win
the war against its owner.
Remak. since war has been de-
clared, has disposed OF $4,000
belonging to German clients in
the same way, and advises all
holders OF German funds to do
the same thing before A. Mitchell
Palmer, the newly appointed Gus
todian OF alien enemy property,
takes this money and applies 1t to
the same purpose.
The German-American Alliance
OF Camden has shown a spirit of
patriotism by taking almost its
entire fund from the treasury
and subscribing for Liberty
bonds. The organization depends
wholly upon the dues of its men,
bers. which are So year.

FRENCH CABINET SOLID;
GIVEN CONFIDENCE VOTE

PARIS, Oct 26.-The new PainleVe
cabinet today had weathered its first
test of strength in the Chamber OF
Deputies, and. according to the Paris
press, seemed likely to continue in
power.
Last night the Chamber Of Deputies
voted 2Ss to 1877 on a vote OF conf
dence in the new ministry.
The vote came after former Premier
Ribot, just transferred by Premier
Painleve from the portfolio of foreign
minister to minister OF state and
member of the war council, in place
OF N. Barthou, had aroused great en-
thusiasm by a speech re-emphasizing
Frances determination to reclaim
Alsace-Lorraine.

POLICE ASSOCIATION
VOTES $500 FOR BONDS

Members of the Policemen's Asso'
citation Of the District OF Columbia
are pleased with themselves today
owing to the fact that IT took them
but two minutes at a meeting last
night at Pythian Temple to vote $500
of the organizations funds for Lib
erty bonds
This amount would have been
doubled, 1t is declared, had not the
association been under such heavy
expense during the past six months,
when one-half OF the available assets
had been paid out for various causes,
including $500 for death funds.
There is much rivalry between or
ganizations made up OF policemen.
detectives, night watchmen, etc, as
to which shall make the best showing
on the second loan. and the associa-
tion feels II has done its best.

KAISER AND SUBJECTS AT
ODDS OVER MICHAELIS

AMSTERDAM. Oct. 26.-That n
wide difference OF opinion exists be-
tween the German Emperor and the
German people on the chancellorshIp
is the general belief here today, fol-
lowing the apparently authentic re-
port from Berlin that the Kaiser has
refused to accept the resignation of
Admiral Capelle and has further an
nounced that he does not consider
the resignation OF Chancellor Michae-
HIS necessary.
A general demand for the resigna-
tion OF DR.. Michaelis has been made
by the people. and his fall has been
considered so certain that a success
sor is already being looked for. Ad-
miral Capelle is also known to be at
odds with some OF the leaders in the
empire.
1t is evident from Berlin dispatches
that the government is seeking to
Fefute the persistent reports OF q

DISSOLVE LOCAL
INSURANCE FIRM

The Washington City. Life Insur-
ance Company, through Its president,
william s. Jordan, represented by
Attorney Charles B. Howry, today
filed suit against Roderick X. Shaw
and about $50 stockholders: of the
company to show cause why the con-
cern should not be dissolved and a
receiver appointed to wind up its af-
fairs.
The court is asked to designate
someone connected with the office
of the Superinte adent of Insurance
of the District to take charge Of the
assets OF the company and distribute
them, and to use a large part Of the
cash assets in the purchase of Lib
erty bonds. y
There is no Insolvency" said the
attorney for the company, because
the assets are in hand practically
and essentially ready for distribu-
tion. The cash assets exceed the par
value of the stock at this time by
several thousand dollars.
The company is not responsible
for any INSTRUMENTATION made by
any person, continues the statement.
There was no confederation In the
fraud OF the rights of any. stockhold-
er because II was the purpose Of the
former president to deal In good
faith with everyone willing to take
any part of its stock at $12 per
share.
Can Refund Money
The company also declares that
with good and economical manage
ment,, Of its affairs and by the ter
mination of, the legal proceedings in
augurated by certain stockholders to
all intents and purposes the moneys
paid in by the stockholders. can be

believes to be an unnecessary attack

SMOOTH Thief


Rapid City. Aug. GA gentle
man burglar" is believed to be oper-
ating in Rapid City and in the effort
to apprehend him and put a stop to
the frequent robbing of residences a
vigilance committee has been organ
ICED by a number of citizens. In the
course of a few nights about a dozen
dwelling houses were entered and
robbed, the burglar securing much
valuable booty in the form of jewelry
and other articles. From the home
of DR.. and Mrs. II. j, Jackson he car
ried ava a revolver, two diamond
stickpins and some small fancy clocks
that were treasures of Mrs. Jackson.
No suspicious characters have been
seer about the city. which gives rise
to the theory that the numerous bur
glaries are being committed by some
man of apparent good standing In
the city against whom suspicion
would not easily be directed.

PEANUTS FORGE AHEAD
AS A NATIONAL ASSET
Their Food Value Use In Wartime 10
Seen by Conservers of Crop.

Washington. The humble peanut.
eaten casually when n happens to
pass a vendors cart, is coming into its
own In this war, according to officials
of the food administration.
For peanuts make peanut butter.
which, 1t is predicted. is going to play
a more important part In the dietary
as ordinary butter Is conserved In line
with the food administrations milk
saving campaign.
Peanut butter has 20 per cent OF pro
tein, 80 per cent Of fat and "a per cent
OF carbohydrates and affords a total of
$500 calories per pound. Thus peanut
butter has a marked nutritive value.
Peanuts have been forging ahead
anyway, for since 1899 the culture Of
peanuts has increased rapidly In this
country. Then the peanut acreage was
516.654. Only last year 1t was 1,245,-
600, and this year II is 2.001 900.
Shelled peanuts yield from 40 to 80
per cen OF oil. This edible oil, II If
stated, compares %favorably with olive
oil and is used for culinary purposes
and also for making oleomargarine.
AT present peanut oil ranks fourth In
quantity Of the vegetable oils produced
I'm the United States. The estimated
production OF peanut oil for 1917 is Al,
1884, 900 pounds, or 4,6O5,0 0 gallons.
An important feature of the peanut
crop from the standpoint of the food
administration is that II is a crop OF
which the production may be stimu-
later to almost any extent without un.
desirable after results In the disposal
Of the crop.

HUGE PROFIT IN COINS.
Men Who Invested In Pioneers Society
Sale Made Money.

San Francisco.-Two local business
men who bought a collection of 1000
old coins from the Society OF California
Pioneers for $1,000 and recently sold
two OF these for $4,000, with the ex-
pectation OF realizing approximately
$4,000 more on the remainder. have
created something of a sensation among
the Pioneers as "A result of the specula-
ton.
The Pioneer society had for years
kept its coin collection In glass cases
in the United States mint here, where
thousands OF persons have viewed IL.
Six months ago Secretary McAdoo OF
the treasury department wanted more
room In the building and ordered the
collection taken out.
1t was explained at the office of the
society that 1t was deemed best TO sell
the collection for $1,000 rather than
move II into Its building, with watch
men, insurance and other expenses.

PLEADS FOR JAIL
OLD MAN TIRED OF BROWN
COUNTY POOR FARM,
STEALS HORSE.

Aberdeen, Aug. 6.-Because he
was tired of the poor farm, Just
tired Of doing nothing" he stole a
horse from the county farm stables
so he could go to Jail. George Feath-
erson, aged GA. feeble and emaciated,
told Judge Darling in municipal
court.
He begged the judge to send him
to the penitentiary.
The case is unique in local court
circles and the old man is being held
to circuit court under bonds pending
an investigation and probably some
other settlement of his case.
Weak and hungry, Featherson was
picked up on the streets here about
10 days ago and sent out to the
county farm, where he was given
nourishing food and good care.
1t is believed he Is suffering from

CATTLE DISEASE
MYSTERIOUS DISEASE Is KILL
ING MANY CATTLE.

Creston. Aug. 6.-Reports from
the Brennan district of Pennington
county state that cattle are dying
from a somewhat mysterious cause
One of the heaviest losers thus far
is A. w. G-reenameyer, of Sioux City,
who lost 90 head of fine cattle which
were being grazed i'm the Brennan
territory. At first it was thought the
cattle had died from anthrax or
blackleg. but this was disproved as
the result OF an investigation made
by veterinary surgeons who visited
the scene. They expressed the opin-
ion that the cattle had died from eat
ing fresh vegetation in a swampy
place during the excessively hot
weather of last week. There are said
to be several varieties of weeds which
have a tendency TO become poisonous
for cattle and other live stock when
the weeds grow too rapidly. Other
cattlemen of the territory have been
warned to watch their animals close
ly in order to have as few losses as
possible from this cause.
