Kaiser Interview
In Tribune Upheld
BY High Official
Former Officer of Century
Co. Declares Original
Still Exists
Appeals to Senator
Urges Publication at This
Time on the Grounds of
Patriotism
Appeals to Senator

WASHINGTON, DEG. 24.--0ne Of the
leading members of the Foreign Rela-
tions Committee Of the United States
Senate to-day received sweeping in
dorsemcnt of The Tribunes Kaiser in
terview" story from a former high off,
cial Of the Century Company who is
fully acquainted with the suppression
OF the original. The Senator was in.
formed where this original now is, and
was urged to use his good Offices to
obtain its publication. This course was
declared to be a patriotic duty.
The Senator's informant admitted
that for some time after the sup
preston of the original interview he
had retained a copy Of it. However,
he declared he had destroyed the copy,
since it was supposed to be "non-ex-
stent." Arrangements with the Gem
tury Company, he explained, finally
included the "nOn-existence" of the
interview. This had been possible be-
cause the story was serious trouble
breeder, he stated, and at the time
there was no incentive 10 cause the
Kaiser to reap the full harvest Of his
indiscreet frankness.
The world situation has now COM
pletely changed, stated the Senator's
informant, and there is no longer a
reasonable excuse for Withholding the
publication Of the interview.
The Tribune correspondent is not
permitted at this time to mention
either the name of the former Century
official or that of the Senator. II is
considered sufficient to say that the
Senator enjoys relations with the pres
ent custodian of the document which
makes its publication certain if the
Senator concludes to request that it
be produced. Moreover, the Tribune
correspondent feels confident that this
request will be made Immediately fol-
lowing the holiday recess of the Senate.

Meteors From the Moon

Taking up an old theory Of metcors,
Emile Belot, French astronomer, has
attempted to demonstrate that these
bodies may have resulted from vol
canic eruptions on the moon and other
satellites Of the solar systems planets.
He finds that an initial velocity Of
projection comparing to that which
has been observed in the eruption OF
Cotopaxi and only twice as great as
that developed in artillery of the pres
cnt war would be sufficient 10 carry
a body free from the moon, and he has
made calculations Of the speed OF pro-
lection and other conditions that would
cause such a body TO become a satellite
of tho moon, of the earth or OF the
sun.--Portsmouth Daily Chronicle.

Tells of Aiding =
Morse to Freedom

Some of the methods by which
Charles W. Morse is alleged to have
planned TO obtain his release from the
Federal penitentiary at Atlanta on a
pardon was revealed yesterday when
Walter +. Reid, a steamship owner, OF
Portland Ne, filed a bill of par
ticulars in his suit for sl50,00O against
the former banker.
The money was earned, said Reid,
during the months previous 60 the
pardoning Of Morse in .he strenuous task
of protecting the convicted financier
from his own extravagant plans and
those of his wife, most Of which, Reid
charges, involved the improper expen-
diture of large sums of money.
President Taft, his son Robert Taft
and numerous other persons figured in
these plans, according 20 Reid's state
ment. In no case did they go further
than intangible proposals, however, be-
cause Reid insists that he always was
on hand TO block them.
"In the spring of 19i0," said Reid,
cat the New York office of the de-
fendant, Mrs. Morse told me that
Erwin Morse. son of the banker, was a
classmate of Robert Taft, the Presi-
dents son; that she was going 10 invite
Taft to spend a weekend at the Morse
home and offer him $4,000 20 use his
influence in procuring the defendants
release. She stated, also, that she
would get Robert TAFT 10 see Chief
Justice White"
4 man named Garland, of Phila-
delrhia. It was asserted, had promised
to "obtain" Morse's release for $780,
600. OF which he was to keep $4,000.
1t was not explained where the money
was 70 be spent.
In blocking these plans, Reid said
he disbursed 81, 400 of his own money.
1t is for this and the value Of his
services as CONFIDENTIAL adviser ap-
parently, that he now is suing.

Losing War Will
Revise Proverbs,
Says George AIDE

George AIDE, playing Santa Claus to
the National Security League, has con-
tributed "A Holiday Message to Our
Young Fighting Men" to the leagues
educational campaign of patriotism.
The message, which was made public
yesterday, is that losing the war means
reversing all the proverbs that have
grown out Of humanity's experience.
Mr.. Ade reverses a few to show what
he means. His Christmas present fol-
lows:
BY George Ade.
We must win the big war or else
revise all moral codes, rewrte all
proverbs and adopt a brand new set
Of rules TO govern conduct.
We have accepted certain time
honored adages as self-evident
truths.
We found them in our early copy
books and we grew up on them and
repeated them so often that. natural
ly, we came TO think that they could
be relied upon.
Then Germany came along with an
intensely modern variety Of ethics
bearing the label Of Kultur.
The new medicine is not taken in
ternally or rubbed on as a liniment,
but you have it shot into you by a
large gun.
Unless We refuse to take the treat
ment, everything that we ever be
lieved in viii be overruled, discarded
and thrown into the alley.
II Germany is not licked TO a
standstill, we might as well begin
to memorize and humbly accept the
following:
Dishonesty is the best policy.
Be as mean as a skunk and you
will be happy.
Blessed are the child-murderers
for they shall inherit the earth.
Be sure you are right handy with
firearms, then go ahead.
An evil reputation is better than
riches
Truth crushed to earth will not
rise again if the crushing is done
in a superior and efficient manner.
Be virtuous and you will be mis-
erable.
Thrice armed is he who goes
around picking quarrels.
Might makes right.
He'll on earth and hatred for all
men.
Do unto others as you suspect that
they might do unto you if they ever
got 10 be as disreputable as you are.
God helps the man that helps him
self TO his neighbor's house and his
fields and his unprotected women.
Those don't sound right, do they?
The old ones that we learned first OF
all are not yet out of date.
Suppose we don't revise them.

Just as the final candy Santa Claus
was tied 10 a miniature Christmas tree
in a delicatessen store at Sixth Ave
nue. and Eleventh Street yesterday
morning, the attention Of the clerk
was arrested by tiny white face that
was thrust against the outside of the
window.
Closer inspection revealed the hat
less, coatless and almost shoeless fig
ure Of girl of eight years, whose
eyes sparkled and cheeks grew pink
with contemplation Of the wonders of
the tree. Under the stimulating in
fluence of bowl Of soup and cup Of
coffee the child began a series of in
quiries as to the permanent abode of
Santa Claus and the proper procedure
in order to entice him to ones house.
"You know, he has never been to my
house" she explained.
Further questions revealed the
child's name as Anna Decker, daughter
of George Decker, & policeman in the
Hamilton Avenue station, Brooklyn,
whose home is in 466 Sixth Avenue,
Brooklyn. The child explained her
frostbitten feet as being the result of
sleeping without heat in her room and
with no covers but newspapers and
rags.
As a result of her story a representa-
tive of the Children's Society was sum
moned and the policeman and his wife,
Mrs. Nora Decker, were arrested. They
denied before Magistrate Dodd most Of
the charges made by the child, and the
case was continued until December 81.
Meanwhile, kindness had accom-
plished more with the child's frail body
than all her suffering, and she was car
ried to the shelter maintained by the
society in Schermerhorn Street. Still
mumbling questions about Santa Claus,
she was tucked into warm bed.
Fifteen minutes later she opened her
eyes TO discover tall figure in red fan
nels, wearing n white beard on his
face and a pack on his back. From the
pack came warm slippers of wool box
of candy and an armful OF fruit.

tired voice OF a happy child. 81 knew
you didn't know where to find me-"

further, and new trade territory
will be opened to your merchants.
Not only have the leading merchants

that, given practicable road, they

duce from Baldwin county to Pensa-
cola will return loaded with grocer

It is Charles Barclay who is talk
ing, the retired Philadelphia lawyer
who came to Sunshine Land eighteen
years ago IN search of health and
found it in the farming lands Of Lii
liam, Baldwin county, Alabama, just
thirteen miles away from here; pres
ident of the Baldwin County Bank
at Bay Minette; and the man who is
building the bridge at Lillian in
order to join these two rich regions.
The last piling of the bridge was
driven Thursday, and the carpenters
are laying the planks, while the iron
work for the "draw" is being cast
in Pensacola, and should tie ready
within the month.
Looking to Pensacola.
Always a good roads booster, Mr..
Barclay years ago realized tina. Bald
win countians must look. to Pensa-
cola for economic development. In
1913 he formed company to oper-
ate ferry, but development became
so rapid that last year bridge was
seen to be necessary, and Mr.. Barclay
put up the money himself fer the
project.
