EDITORIAL NOTE. William Le- Queux. who here chronicles for his friend. Count Ernst yon Heltxendorff, the latter's revelations of the inner life of the imperial German court. hns Ions been recognized throughout Eu- rope as the possessor of its inuermost secrets.
 The English .WhO's whoo says of aim; ''He has intimate Knowledge of the secret service of Continental coun- tries and is considered by the govern nsent (of Great Brttain) an authority on such matters" Another authority says: Few people have been more closely ns- socinted with know more of the astounding inner machinery of Ger many than he.'
 LeQueux probably has more sources of secret information at his command thnn any contemporary in civil life, and for the last six years the British Gov ernment has made valuable use of his vast store of secret In formation through a specially organized department with which LeQueux works as voluntary assistant.
 Count von HeItxendorff became an in- timate of LeQueux several years prior to the outbreak of the war; he has been living in retirement In France since August, 1914, and 1t was there that Le- Queux received from the crown princes late personal adjutant permission to make public these revelations of the Inner life of the HeheDzollerns-that the demccrncfes of the world might come to know the real. but heretofore hidden, personalities of the two domf- nsnt members of the autocracy they are now arrnyed against

Navy Older Than Government.

The United States navy has the dis tinction of being somewhat older than the government itself. for nine months before the actual Declaration of Inde- pendence congress authorized the con- struction of two national" cruisers and appointed committee to purchase vessels to form the nucleus of a fleet. Within three months of it's appoint ment this committee got together IA armed vessels and appointed a person. nel of officers, among whom was the famous old sea dog. Paul Jones. Dur ing the war of the revolution the in- fant navy captured as many as 800 prizes, but suffered so heavily that by the time peace was declared it had al- most ceased to exist. A new start on n more ambitious scale was mads in 1704.

iSh :" His imperial highness, lhe crown prince made this remark to me as he sat in the corner of a hrst-class compartment of an express that had ten minutes before left Pad 1ington station for the West of Eng land.
 The crown prince, though not gen. erally known. frequently visited Eng land and Scotland incognito, and WIG were upon one of those flying visits on that bright summers morning as the express tore through the delightful English scenery of the Thames valley, with the first stopping place at Ply mouth, our destination.
 The real reason for the visit of my young hot-headed imperial master was concealed from me
 Four days before he had dashed into my room at the Marmor palace at Pots liam. He had been with the emperor in Berlin all the morning, and had mo- tored back with all speed. Something had occurred, but what it was I failed to discern. He carried some papers n the packet of his military tunic. rom their color I saw that they were iecret reportS-those documents pre- pared solely for the eyes of the kaiser and those of his oldest son.
 He took big linen-lined envelope and, placing the papers in it, carefully sealed it in wax.
 We are going to London, Heltzen- dorff. Put that in your dispatch box. may want it when We are in Eng iand."
 ''To London-when?" I asked, sur prised at the suddenness of our jour ney, because I knew that we were due at Weimar in two days time.
 We leave at six o'clock this eve ming" was the crown princes reply. 'Koehler has ordered the salon to be attached to the Hook of Holland train. Hardt has already left Berlin to en- gage rooms for us at the Ritz, in Lon- don"
 And the suite?" I asked, for it was one of my duties to arrange who tray cied with his imperial highness.
 OA " C II lCdFC AL he said, for he always hated the sur veillance of the commissioner of se- cret police. We shall only want Schu- ter, my valet, and knof."
 We never travelled anywhere with out knof, the chauffeur, who was an impudent, arrogant young man, in. tensely disliked by everyone.
 So it was that the four of us duly landed at Harwich and travelled to London, our identity unknown to the jostling crowd of tourists returning from their annual holiday on the con 6nent.
 At the Ritz, too, Willie" was not recognized, because all photographs of him show him in an elegant uniform 1n tweed suit, or in evening clothes he presents an unhealthy, weedy. and somewhat Insignificant figure.
 His imperial highness had been or the previous day to Carlton House ter race to luncheon given by the am. bassador's wife. but to which nobody was invited but the embassy staff.
 That same evening an imperia courier arrived from Berlin and called at the Ritz where. on being shown into the crown princes sitting room, he handed his highness a sealed letter from his wife.
 Willie" c1 reading 1t, became very grave. Then, striking match, he lii it. and held it until it was consumed There was a second letter-which saw from the emperor. This he also read, and then gave vent to an expression of impatience. For ( few minutes he reflected, and il was then he announced that we must go to Plymouth next day.

CHICAGO, April 1.-THE greatest
food drive in the history or the
country is on over the middle west
today. Conservation OF present sup
plies and speeding up" of produc'
ton is the slogan adopted by COVER
nors Of a dozen states.
with the decision of the admins
tration that feeding the allies was
Americas first duty in the great
world a the energies Of the cen
trail states--the bread basket OF the
nation-were directed from recruiting
to extracting from the soil n Of the
greatest crops Of all time.
Throughout the north central states
OF Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin,
and portions OF Iowa and Illinois,
greatest attention was being paid to
the food situation. Michigan miners
in the north peninsula district Under
the direction of competent agr1cul-
turalists are planning to each plant al
least one-half acre this year.
A hundred kilograms sent out by
Governor Sleeper, have summoned
all the leading manufacturers 70
Lansing for a conference tomorrow.
A plea for 10000 more acres OF
potatoes than ever before planted in
Wisconsin, is the plea OF Governor
Philips. Four dollars per bushel
potatoes are being turned from the
tables into the seed bins of the state,
From Bismarck, N. d., Governor
Frazier today officially called upon
farmers to plant a record spring
wheat acreage. This state already Is
the premier spring wheat state Of the
nation.
Cooperating with state officials In
the campaign for more potatoes ara
Eugene Grub, potato expert for the
Southern Pacific railway, and l.. D.
Sweet, Of Denver, president OF the
Potato Growers associaticnA Of Amer
lea. Both are confident that a four
hundred bushel per acre yield would
put the food question in the United
States on the shelf for good. Ger
many by raising forty bushels Of po-
tatoes for each individual has been
able to stave off starvation through
this agency alone. The United States
raises a scant two bushels per capita.
Throughout the wheat states OF
Kansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma, the
Texas panhandle and the DakotaJ,
come reports of increased acreage5.
Winter wheat, to a large extent lost,
Is being plowed under and the ground
Is being planted in corn.
Much needed rains over the wheat
belt yesterday, brought prospects OF "a
fifty per cent crop in Kansas and
and perhaps a fifty-five
per cent yield in Nebraska.
In Illinois and Iowa where the most
intensive gardening campaigns arc
waged, steps have been taken
to place unused land along highways,
right Of ways and public
domains under cultivation. With prac-
ticaIly every family raising their w
vegetables, enormous amounts will

purposes.
