The people of the country have de-

They had to fight Germany now or
later. 1t would be easier now than
when fighting alone. They have got
to win this war or suffer the hum
iliation, oppression and torture of
Belgium. The fight hangs in the bal
ance and the people might swell
know it. The way to win it is to
strike and strike as hard as the
American government can strike. The

The report declares that the inter
changes between the naval services
OF the Allied powers and the navy
have been particularly frank and
free, adding that this partnership or
democratic nations will yet insure
a lasting peace" 1t says that when
the call came the navy supplied gun
ners and guns for merchant craft
without an hours delay.
The report touches on the various
naval conferences attended by Ameri-
can officers, but adds nothing to what
is known OF the questions taken up
or decisions reached Throughout
the lengthy document the Secretary
is careful to avoid any statement that
might be OF service to an enemy.
The Secretary pays tribute to the
Marine Corps, which has lived up to
its best traditions. he says, as will be
shown when the war is over. The
marine regiment in France, he says,
will soon be considerably augmented
IN its service with General Pershing's
army.
Development OF naval aircraft has
been remarkable, the Secretary says,
due largely to the success OF the Lib
erty motor.
1T may be stated with confidence"
he says, that at the present moment
we have an American flying boat act
| ually flying with an American engine
which is unexcelled by any foreign
craft Of the type"
The Secretary discloses the fact
that American coast patrol stations
have been authorized abroad and will
be in operation next year. but gives
no details.
Pictures An International Navy.
In conclusion, Mr.. Daniels pictures
the possibility of an international
navy to keep the world peace. Such
an agreement cannot be cherished
now, he says, that all the world is at
war.
Each naval power should assign
units to the international force in
proportion to its wealth and popula-
ton, the Secretary suggests.

Relates How Kaiser
Escaped Assassin

EDITORIAL NOTE. - william Lee
aueux, who here chronicles for his
friend, Count Ernst Won HeItzendOrfY
the Iatter's revelations of the inner
life of the imperial German court, has
long been recognized throughout Eu-
rope as the pOssessOr of its innermost
secrets.
The. English "WbO's Who" says of
him: "Hc has intimate knowledge of
the secret service of Continental coun-
tries and Is considered by the govern
ment (Of Great Brittany an authority on
such Matters" Another authority says.
E'Few people have been more closely as
ISOLATED with or know more of the
astounding inner machinery of Ger
many than he"
LeQueux probably has more sources
of secret information at his command
than any contemporary I'm civil life, and
for the last six years the British Gov
eminent has made valuable use of his
vast store of secret information through
which Le0ueux works a voluntary
assistant
Count Won Heltzendorff became an in
innate of LeQueux several years prior
to the outbreak of the war; he has been
living in retirement in France since
August, 1914, and it was there that Lee
Queux received from the crown princes
late personal adjutant permission to
make public these revelations of the
inner life of the HOhenZOllerns--that
the demOcracies of the world might
come to know the real, but heretofore
hidden, personalities of the two domi-
nant members of the autOcracy ii is
now arrayed against.

T HE emperor commands you
~ to audience at once in the
private dining ROOM" said
~ ono of tho immortal SprV-

one of the imperial serv-
ants, entering the kaiser's study, where
/ was awaiting him.
AS ] passed downstairs to the room,
to which entrance was forbidden even
to the crown prince himself, I natur-
ally wondered why l had been COM
manded to audience there.
"Have you any knowledge of the
contents of the letter which you have
brought from the crown prince?" the
emperor asked bluntly.
l replied in the negative.
"Where are you going now?" he ask
ed suddenly.
"To Thorn. His imperial highness
inspects the garrison there on Thurs
day." said.
"Ah! OF course. I intended to go,
but it is impossible"
Then after pause, the emperor
looked me straight in the face and
suddenly said:
"Heltzendorff, have you any knowl-
edge of any man called Minckwitz"
l reflected.
81 know Count Won Minckwtz, grand
master of the court of the duke of
Saxe-Altenburg," was my reply.
mo This is a man, Wilhelm Minck-
WITT, who poses as a musician"
l shook my head.
"You are quite certain that you have
never heard the name? Try TO recol-
lect whether the crown prince has

l endeavored to recall the circum-
stance, for somehow very gradually
felt a distinct recollection of having
once heard that name before.
"At the moment fail to recall any
thing, your majesty" was my answer.
The emperor knit his brows as
though annoyed at my reply, and then
grunted deeply in dissatisfaction.
Remain here in Potsdam," he said.
telegraph to the crown prince re-
calling him at my orders, and will
cancel the inspection at Thorn. Tell
the crown prince that l wish to see
him tonight Immediately upon his re-
turn"
Then, noticing for the first time that
the emperor held paper in his hand,
] realized by its color that it was one
of those secret reports furnished for
the kaiser's eye alone-a report of one
of the thousands of spies of Germany
spread everywhere.
Minckwitz! 1 impressed that name
upon my memory, and, being dismissed |
bowed myself out of the imperial pres
ence.

and recalling him at once. Quite well

would arouse his highness' apprehen- /
sion that for some Offense or other he |
was about to receive a paternal cas-
tigation. But l could not be explicit, |
because I had no knowledge of the
reason the emperor was canceling our
engagement at Thorn.
"Did He Ask You Thst7"
At nine O'Clock that night the crown
prince burst into the room wherein l
was attending to the correspondence.
"What in the name Of fate does all
this mean, Heltzendorf?" Re demand
ed. "Why did the emperor sail to re-
ply to my message2"

described what took place in the en-
peror's private dining room. When

crown princes cheeks blanched.

Central EurOne."

Central Europe" a translation of
"Mitel-Europa," by Friedrich Naumanp
OF the German Reichstag, is one of
the most important and most inter-
esting statements yet made of Ger
many's aims.
Mr. Naumann tells of the partner
ship in the war and the results that
have been brought about by this CO.
operation. He gives the reader a
clear insight into the previous his
tory of Central Europe, together with
the creed and nationalities involved.
He deals with the economic life of
the countries of Central Europe and
the joint problems in war economics.
He gives a concise statement of Ger
many's position in the worlds eco
nomic system. Tariff and constitu-
tional problems and their relation to
the war are also discussed. Mr..
Naumann is one of the most widely
read political writer's in Germany.

SPORT

But-after all-with the loss oi
some of it's greatest football men, the
University of Missouri will be far
better off comparatively next fall in
football material than most any other
school of the Missouri Valley. There
are such things at Missouri as the re-
serves, even in football, and, Se2.em-
ber Is. when Schultz calls for the
first squad OUT with Viner, Rider,
| Collins and Pittam all missing from
the lineup there will still be among
those waiting for an opportunity to
| bring honor to the Gold and Black,

from the squad of last year and men
who were kept off the regular team
simply because of the abundance of
good material.
Even if Paul Hamilton, football
captain-elect, does get in the Kansas
City base hospital unit-and there is
some doubt now as to whether he will
or not-there are four good linesmen
positive of coming back to Columbia
next fall. McAnaw, Bass, Slusher and
Wfrittenbegg, with Hamilton, if he
returns, would make line that would
hardly be equalled anywhere in the
valley, and with Tiny" Stevens for
quarter, Shannon at guard or tackle,
Morris at half and White at full, the
Tiger team would have a good star,
toward a bunch of valley winners
White is an old letter man, having
played full during the season of 1915
The only reason he failed to appear
in the big lineups last season was
that he was hurt early in the year and |
unable to play.
Next year will be one of the most |
in the world" said Ath-
letic Director Brewer recently, for |
the real football follower. Heretofore
teams have been picked after the first
practice and followers of the sport |
have known from the first who would
start in the Kansas game. Next year
they will have to fight for their
places, because all the green ones,
as well as the few regulars who re-
urn, will have a chance"
One reason why Missouri sport fol-
overs feel more confident this sum-
ner regarding next years chances is
hat Oklahoma and Kansas Aggies

IT'S HARVESTING TIME
ON UNIVERSITY FARM
Cutting of Wheat and Other
Grains for Test Purposes
Under Way.
GREAT CARE TAKEN
Pedigreed Yields Are Often
Gathered by Hand to
Insure Accuracy.

It's wheat cutting time on the Uni
versity farm The binder sends out
its monotonous chant over the bend
ing grain. Little heat waves dance on
the hill. Thirsty shockers suck
draughts of water from short-necked
jugs swathed in wet burlap. and then
trudge wearily on in the stubble,-a
scene common enough on any Missouri
farm, but different where Science
! shows its touch. At the end of each
plot of grain are little markers like
those on a new made grave, and sure
enough many Of them mark the last
resting place of ancient agricultural
custom and brief-lived theory.
The scales tell the tale, and so that
! they may tell truthfully every care is
exercised in the handling of the crop
There are thirty varieties of oats and
forty-two varieties of wheat on the
ground farmed by the farm crops de-
partment. These varieties are so
close together that one man has to di-
rect the guide board on the canvas
deck of the binder between the rows,
so that the yield test of one variety
shall gain nothing at the expense of
smother. The first rows are cut by
hand so the mules hitched to the bin
der will not trample part of tn grain
and spoil the accuracy of the test.
Such care is used that even the bin
der cuts but two acres a day
Many of the separate stalks of
wheat are marked with a large tag
telling their pedigree, and are gath
cred by hand, so that the characteris-
ties of the parent stalk as well as the |
grain may be considered when choos-
ing the seed.
Close to the wheat field is the 'mu-
scum" of the farm crops department. |
In this are eighty-one little square
plots containing material to be stud
led in the field this summer by the stu
dents of this department, and next
winter in the laboratory by the stu
dents of the regular session. Among
these are fifty-nine legumes, many of
them now wild, which may some day
be OF use to agriculture in some other
than an experimental way. One of
he most important of these legumes
IS the sovbean, which agriculture men
hink will be an important crop of the
state in the future. A large plot is
devoted to comparative yield test
between these beans and navy beans.
Soybeans are even now used as
substitute for navy beans by canning l
and are destined to be {
more so in the future, since navy t
'eans are now worth SIS bushel, and f
oybeans can be bought for $5. The
arm crops department is using eighty I
i've varieties in this test and tay '
ests.
Some of the other plots in the .mu- 4;

Summer Student
Claims Exemption.

An interesting letter was received
by Athletic Director Brewer yesterday
1t was from a University Summer Ses-
sion student of last year, who, while
taking a course at Rothwell Gymna-
sium, cut his foot He now claims ex-
emption from National Service be-
cause of a pain in his arch, due, he
says to the cut. He wrote asking Mr..
Brewer to verify his statement of the
accident. Athletic Director Brewer
wrote him today, describing the acci-
dent as he remembered it.
