The Kaiser as Il
Knew Him for
Fourteen Years
By AE1EJa n. DAVIS, DDS.
Who From 1909 to 1919 VTcs
American Dentist to the Kaiser

During that time the Kaiser visited DR.. Davis
about one hundred and fifty times, invariably stcying
anywhere from ten minutes to an hour and q halt
after the professional work was completed to discuss
the topics of the hour-particulariy during the war
years-when the Kaiser asked many questions as to
the likely attitude of America under certain possible
conditions and provocations.
The first and only account written of the Kaiser
by an American unofficiaIly intimate for years with
him to whom the Kaiser could talk freely without
fear of occasioning international complications.
Every chapter of 'The Kaiser as Knew Hin for
Fourteen Years" is a revelation of the character of the
man who has stepped the civilized world in blood and
disaster.
DR.. Davis's story is the most unique document
that the history of this generation has given us, on
account of the extraordinary situation and unusual
relations of the two persons mainly concerned
It is infinitely more valuable because it repeats
conversations that were never intended to be re-
peated, either by the Kaiser or d.. Davis. In fact, it
is only on the advice of prominent members of his
profession, and by reason of his conviction that he is
beneftng his country thereby, that DR.. Davis has
been persuaded to reveal completely and m detail
all he knows of the Kaiser, and all the Kaiser has said
to him affecting America and the Allies.
The Kaiser talked freely of prominent persons,
expressing his opinions of PRESIDENT WILSON,

from time to time, aroused his indignation or ap-
proval. His estimates of these leading men form a
most entertaining and informing part of the fascinat-
ing story DR.. Davis tells.
Since the war began there have been various
revelations of German purposes and intents. mainly
of a documentary sort. But no document was ever
written m the worlds history without the thought
that some day it would or might be printed. These
conversations of the Kaiser nave been absolutely with
out fear of publicity. as 10 evident by some of tho
statements made and questions asked-such, for
example, as the inquiring of Dr.. Davis by the Kaiser sc
himself as TO what he thought would be the attitude Ss'
of America If one of her big liners were sunk. This
was shortly before the Lustania was torpedoed. Dr..
Davis has made no reservations. In the interests Of

SHEFFIELD AND
R7LANDER URGED
RUN ONCE MORE
ARGUED THAT AMERICUS NEEDS
THEIR REPRESENTATION UPON
THE BOARD OF COUNTY COM
MISSIONARS.

Strong pressure vii, Re brought on
Messrs. Arthur Rylander and Frank
Sheffield to have them announce for
the board of county commissioners.
Mr.. Rylander is already member
but has thought seriously fnot Of
fe-:ng for reelection. However, so
many citizens are urging him to an
LOUNGE again that he has the matter
under advisement.
Thomas B. Hooks, the other Ameri-
Jus member of the board, has decided
positively that he will not run again,
because of business reasons. Mr..
Hooks has made an excellent member
aud has been of great service to the
county, and his decision not to con-
tiIue will be received with general
regret.
Frank Sheffield is being generally
spoken of to offer for the board. He
was formerly chairman of the board
and during his term Sumter county's
roads reached, perhaps, their high
est degree of efficiency 1t is believed
by Mr.. Sheffield's friends who have
the interests of the county at heart,
that the demand on him will be so
strong he cannot resist.

cision was made public until this

Edge Now Spurns
Aid From Hearst

New York, July 27-Another can
didate for political office. Governor
Walter z. Edge of New Jersey. who
IS seeking the Republican nomination
for United States Senator for both
the long and short term. went on
record yesterday as emphatically de-
clining the support of William r.
Hearst. Through his private secre-
tary r. A. Porter. Governor Edge an
nounced that he was not seeking
Hearst support, didi not want it, and
would not take it.
The question arose because Cover
nor Edge had invited Arthur Brisi-
bane. chief Of the Hearst editorial
forces to dinner which the Cover
nor was to have given last night at
the Summer Executive Mansion at
sea Girt. This dinner was called off
after Governor Edge remembered he
had a previous engagement at the
Long Branch Horse Show. At least.
this was the reason given by the Gov
ernor's secretary for canceling the
dinner plans. Secretary Porter
would not admit that the dinner en-
gagement was broken because of the
expected presence of Mr.. Brisbane.

New Railroad Record
For Handling Troops

Fifty per cent. more troops were
handled by the railways in the first
six months of this year than were
handled during the eight months of
1917 after the United States entered
the war, according to figures COM
piled by the troop movement section
which have just been made public
by the railroad administration. The
total movement up to June 30 was
5,355,55S men, counting each move
ment, although of course. there are
duplications because most of them
were transported two or three times,
from the point of enlistment to the
training camp, from the training
camp to a finishing or concentration
camp and from the latter to port
for embarkation, or as has recently
been the practice in many cases,
from the training camp directly TO
the port of embarkation. The total
includes 1,395,514 National Army
arrivals. representing the first move
ment of enlisted men to camp; q
$50 .1s9 moved in special trains, and
/ 079.S55 handled on regular trains.
or the total 3,204,570 were moved
since January 1. These figures do not
include men travelling on furlough or
on their own account.

Many different plans have been

that the one that will be adopted and
put into effect very shortly will be
that of going to work at $50 in the
morning and quitting at $50 in the
evening. retaining the full hour for
lunch at noon.
Some Exceptions

some exceptions to this, especially in
the places where men work at night

to be made for the benefit of the meu
who live away from the city and
cannot reach their respective shops
before O'Clock under existing train
schedules. If the train time cannot

minutes and the remainder of the

WAR AFFECTS
FAIRGROUNDS
Attendance Falls Off Because
Boys and Girls Are DO
ing Their Bit"

The war is having its effects on
the attendance of the borough play
grounds this season.
Supervisor II. T. Confer said to-
day the drop in attendance of the
larger boys and girls is because
many have gone to work during the
summer months. The opportunities
to make big money is given as the
reason for taking so many of the
boys and girls by Supervisor Con-
fer.
Last year the attendance of boys
and girls between the ages of twelve
ard sixteen was exceptionally large,
but this season few boys and girls
of this age are seen about the
grounds, supervisor Confer said.
Even with this condition prevail
ing the attendance this year has
been slightly larger than last year,
according to reports. Attendance of
smaller children is largely respon-
sible in the opinion of officials.
Last year the various athletic
meets and league contests were more
interesting due largely to the fact
that large boys and girls were par
ticipants. However, the younger
children are taking an interest in
the work and Supervisor Confer
finds that good results are being OBJ
tanned with the younger talent.
Supervisor Confer reported this
morning that several boys and girls
who have been regular attendants
at the various grounds this season
will be lost next week. The children.
although but thirteen years old, have
been offered good salaries to accept
positions.
Plans for romper day, to be held
next month. are being outlined. This
event practically closes the play
grounds for the season.

DRASTIC LABOR
CODE IS URGED
FOR WAR TERM
Law to Prevent Strikes in
Munition Plants Is
+ Urged

Washington, July 81. - Congress
sional action to prevent strikes in
war munitions plants and to stabilize
labor conditions in the United States
is being planned in connection with
the new manpower bill. which .he
War Department will submit to Con-
gress soon after it reconvenes late
in August.
That the labor situation has been
so acute that 1t is giving great con-
Germ to government departments,
and to Congress. also, is evidenced
by the steps taken during the last
few days to prevent the tying up or
munitions production through labor
difficulties.
The Administrators manpower
bill. il has become known unofficial
lS would place only those men with
in the enlarged draft ages who fall
into class one under military control,
while industrial manpower in gen.
= eral would be placed under the con-
troll of .he Department of Labor.
The Department would draft what
ever labor might be needed, from
one industry to another, as conii-
tions might require.
Members of the military affairs
committee of the House the last two
days have conferred with officials or
the War Department and the Depart
ment of Labor, urging that all men
within the new draft age be placed
under military control, so that the
military authorities could cope with
any strike or other labor difficulty.
Want All to File Qualifications
AS an alternative, they have urS-
ed that should the authority to draft
labor be placed in the Department
of Labor, every man who registers
under the new age limits of the draft
be required to file comprehensive
statement of his qualifications. They
want not only those who will be
available for military duty alone TO
file these reports, but as well all the
men within the new age limits who
would be industrially exempted from
military duty.
The final terms OF the new man
power bill have not been decided
upon, however. EXen the new age
limits haxe not been determined.
Chairman Dent, of the House mill
tary affairs committee, said to-day.
Secretary Baker is said to favor
twenty and thirty-five as the new
limit. Congressman who desire 10
place labor under the control of the
military forces favor maximum age
of forty-five years or over.
The members of Congress who are
remaining in Washington during the
recess. including some of the most
ardent prolabor senators and repre-
sentatives, are preparing drastic leg
islation TO prevent strikes and other
wise control labor. eThey will seek
to have this legislation considered
while the new manpower bill is Re
fore Congress.
Drastic Legislation Proposed
These measures include:
A law to prohibit strikes. similar
20 the measure defeated last spring,
A stringent antiprofiteering law.
Standardization of living prices
with consequent Standardization of
labor wages.

New Scrip Mileage Good
For All Travelling Expenses

The United States will issue a scrip
mileage book, which will be put into
service on all railroads. beginning
August Is. The book will sell for
$50. there being in it s29.40 in three
cent coupons and sixty one-cent cou-
pons. The latter are to prevent the
necessity of tearing out a three-cent
coupon when charges amount to one
or two cents above a multiple of
three. This will avoid, also, all ne
cessity of change in cash either way.
This book will serve as a universal
purse for travelling needs. including
transportation, meals, excess bag
gage, Pullman and parlor car ac-
commodations.

Empey Starts to Learn
Reason For Discharge

Chicago, July 27. = Friends OF Ar
thur Guy Empey are still awaiting
for an explanation from washington
as to why the War Department dis
charged the author from the Army
soon after he had been commission
ed a Captain in the National Army
Empey was here when press dis
matches told of the War Department s
action. He Immediately telegraphed
the War Department for an explana-
tion.
for. his discharge. Empey said. First.
when he Joined the Canadian forces
and swore allegiance to the King OF
Great Britain he automatically re-
nounced his American citizenship
and he had not as yet been repatri-
ated. This, however. Is merely a tech
nfcality. Second, he Is under weight
as regards American Army standards
President Wilson has authority tc
issue honorable discharges without
assigning reasons, and it is believed
this was done in Empey's case.
Empey left Chicago during the at
ternoon. II is understood that he went
to Washington.
