BOTH TITLES DERIVED
FROM THE NAME CAESAR
Gar and Kaiser Result of Changes
Made in Course of Nearly
1000 Years.

1t seems strange that two words so
different in sound and spelling as car
and kaiser are the same. Both are but
changes made in the course of nearly
1000 years in the word Caesar.
All the Roman emperors took their
title from the first emperor - our old
friend of schoolboy days Julius
Caesar. When Charlemagne founded
the holy Roman empire and was crown
ed emperor he took the name Caesar,
or. in the Frankish form, kaiser. When
the modern German empire was estab-
lshed in 1871. the German emperor.
William /, grandfather of the present
kaiser. took the same title-kaiser.
Similarly the rulers of the eastern
empire at Constantinople. successors to
the old Roman empire. called them
or prince in the territory surrounding
the eastern empire copied the custom
and called himself caesar or car In
the course of time, however, the great
est of these, the Gar of MuSkoVy, con-
quered the other cZars. until he was the
sole, or practically the sole. ruler called
car. However, the King of Bulgaria,
when a few years ago he had himself
crowned as king. took the title ear.
The Encyclopedias Britannica says
that. while car is the title commonly
given both abroad and in Russia itself
to the sovereign of Russia" his off,
cial title is emperor and autocrat."
The title white car or great white
cZar, also applied to the Russian en-
peror. and. Commonly quoted as though
it had a poetic and mystic meaning, is
a translation of a Mongol word mean
ing independent: that is, free from All
obligation or personal service"

BRITISH ADMIT GROWING
LOSSES FROM U-BOATS

LONDON, April 80, 4:o6 p.m.-Reply-
ing to questions in the house of COM
mons today, Sir Edward Carson, first
lord of the admiralty, said that as the
number of German submarines had
been increas ed, the danger to shipping
must be expected to increase in pro-
portion.
AS a matter of fact during April, he
said. the loss to shipping in the Eng
lish channel had been less than in any
preceding three months. This was
partly due to the increase of sub
marines in other areas and partly as
the result of an increased number of
patrol boats in the English channel.
Generally. the first lord said, the
losses We're increasing.

Nerve Fatigue

What you can accomplish depends
directly upon your nerve energy. Any
continued eye strain, any unnecessary
efforts of the focusing muscles of the
eyes, wastes energy and leads to
nerve fatigue.
For this reason neglect of your
eyes may not only reduce your work
ing capacity, but impair your gen
eral health.
II you have the slightest Indications
of eye strain consult an oculist imme-
diately. Should he recommend glasses.

Results of the System.

Nobody knows how many lives that
Job cost. 1t is known that whereas it
had been pleaded falsely in Congress
that employees could be had more quick
" and of better quality by the spoils
system. it was necessary to provide in
the end two men for every place to be
filled-that is, only half of the candi-
dates brought forward by the political
spoilsmen could hold down the posi-
tions after they got them.
But the war with spain was a trivial
affair compared with this one we are
entering. If scores of lives were lost
then by these means. the same thing
would mean thousands of lives now.
But we have much the same sort of
Congress today that he had then 1t is
not difficult to prophesy that almost
any day now there will be a proposal
strongly supported, to debauch the civil
service on the plea that the countrys
dire emergency demands it. The pur-
