Kaiser Worship Taught
by Ministers; Must
Take Fealty Oath
to Times-Republican.


Des Moines, May 6.-Kaiser worship
is all and everything the expression
implies, for the people are taught oS
their ministers of the gospel to Wor-
ship the kaiser. Senator Joe Fralley'
of Lee county, declares. Senator tral-
ley shows up in addresses he is making
that ministers Of the gospel before be
ing allowed to preach must take an
oath of allegiance to the kaiser IN
which the worship Of the kaiser is
everything and In which nothing is
said about the worship Of God.
The oath Of fidelity, which all VINO
seek to enter the German ministry
must take follows:
II will be submissive. faithful. and
obedient to his Royal Majesty-and his
lawful successors in the, government
as my most gracious king and soyer-
eign; promote his welfare according to
my ability: prevent injury and detri-
ment to him; and particularly en-
deavor carefully to instill in the minds
of the people under my care a sense OF
reverence and fidelity toward the king
love for the fatherland, obedience. to
the laws and all those virtues which IN
a christian denote good citizen; ano
I will not suffer any man to teach OF
act in contrary spirit.
in particular vow I will not sup
port any society or association either
at home or abroad which might endan-
ger the public security, and will inform
his majesty Of any proposals made
either in my diocese or elsewhere
which might prove injurious to the
state. I will preach the word as his
gracious majesty dictates"

DON'T HoOVERlZE IN HONOLULU.
Hawaiian Judge Makes United States
Soldiers Mad by Statement.

Honolulu, April 1s (by mail)-Loose
statements by Circuit Judge c. w.
Ashford that The Fourth cavalry was
not observing the Hoover conservation
program. but. on the other hand, was
wasting food and paying no at
tention to the rule requiring wheat
substitutes. have brought down II
storm of criticism on the judges head.
The army is angry and has not hesi-
tated to let the Judge know 1t.
One outcome OF the published state
ment is that If another criticism ema-
mating from an official or prominent
civilian receives publication. the army
will withdraw from any part in the
territorial fair to be held in June.
TIE army had promised to cooperate
on an extensive scale with wartime
demonstrations.
In affidavits and signed statements
the officers of the Fourth cavalry and
Of every other regiment at Schofield
barracks, as we'll as the chaplains OF
all denominations and every regimen
tai commander from the post COM
mandant down, have told Judge Ash
ford in polite terms that he has mis-
handled the truth. The officers and
regiments dare any civilian to chal-
lenge the statement that they are not
just as loyal IN their food conserva-
ton measure as any civilian.
The army, however. makes allow
ance for the strenuous work imposed
on It's men by wartime training long
hikes. etc. and calls to public attention
that dispensations are necessary in
order to make the men physically At

THE MAKING OF 4
A FAMOUS
MEDICINE
How Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound
Is Prepared For
Woman's Use.

A visit TO the laboratory where this
successful remedy 10 made impresses
even the casual looker-on with the reli-
ability, accuracy, skill and cleanliness
which attends the making of this great
medicine for woman 3 ills.
Over $50, 900 pounds Of various herbs
are used annually and all have to be
gathered at the season of tho year when
their natural juices and medicinal SUBJ
stances are at their best.
The most successful solvents arc used
to extract the medicinal properties from
these herbs.
Every utensil and tank that comes in
contact with the medicine is sterilized
and as final precaution in cleanliness
the medicine is pssteurized and sealed
in sterile bottles.
It is the wonderful combination Of
roots and herbs, together with tho
skill and care used in its preparation
which has made this famous medicine
80 successful in the treatment Of
female ills.
The letters from women who have
been restored to health by the use OF
Lydia E. Pnkham's Vegetable Cons
pound which we are continually pub
fishing attest to its virtue.

BRITAIN MAY TAKE OVER BOOZE.
Ready to Use Billions to Get Control
by State

London, May 6.-The English,
Scotch and Irish committees appointed
to Investigate the purchase and con-
troll by the state of the liquor traffic
have reported in favor Of the scheme.
The cost is estimated at more than
$4,000. 100000, but less than $780,
100000.
The Scottish and Irish committees
favor including wholesalers In the
plan, and also making the purchase
of the stocks Of liquor a separate tran
saction from ether assets, thus solv-
ing the difficulty concerning the infia-
ton of whisky prices during the war
by application Of the principle Of tho
excess profits duty.
The English committee, dealing with
smaller liquor business. declares tho
bulk Of the stock nav be. regarded as
working capital and that It's value
should be included in the sum arrived
at by capitalizing the net profits OF tho
concerns owning them. This commit
tee maintains that the trade should be
bought out on the basis OF profit 1t
was capable of earning before the war.

Quiet Sectors" Soon
Full of Fight When
Sar1mjes Are. There

An American Port. May 3.-Ameri-
can soldiers, most of whom have been
gassef or wounded, have been brought
to this port from France by order of
President Wilson. to take part in the
liberty loan campaign. according to an
announcement made by the military
authorities today.
The party, comprising enlisted men
representing all branches of the army
arrived here on board a transport. Six
teen will serve as loan speakers in the
New York federal reserve district and
the others will be sent to various parts
of the country. Twelve go to Phila-
delphia.
Six wear French war crosses. award
ed for gallantry in action, and all wear
the gold W. for foreign service. tMany

Americans go into battle cheering
and waving their hats, said Color Ser
geant Heffernan, who is in charge of
the American party, in describing con-
ditions at the Franco American front.
He said:
1.-The idea was to put us on quiet
sector when we went over first, but
the sector didn't remain quiet long
with the Americans in it. They began
| fighting the first minute they could and
they have been fighting ever since.
II remember one detail that was
hauling ammunition to the front. We
came to a road where we were told
that we could not pass, as the Germans
were shelling it.
"Well. boys, do we want to go over
that road?" I said. All the men driv-
ing the ammunition trucks began to
cheer and wave their hats as we dashed
up the hill and over the forbidden road.
The French people in the town below
were all in dugouts."

ditions. acting like the real man he is. !"
Heffernan said the latest trick to
which the Germans had resorted was
landing spies behind the Franco
American lines by airplane. The Ger
kmans, he said. would don French uni
forms on alighting and would then
stroll among the Americans.
Zone day order was given out
that every man in our vicinity had to
have a pass" he said. adding that 1.-THE
last German prisoners I saw in France
were men who were captured from an
airplane."
1.-THE Americans had always said that
when they got the boches they would
give them bad treatment" he added
but, as, a matter of fact, whenever we
captured Germans we treated them
with the greatest Kindness. We even
stole chow to feed them, and gave
them tobacco and the best of every
thing we had.

of which we are capable, and il they

surest way to win the war is to do all
they can toward winning 1t them

and above all, by refraining from
hampering the Slabors Of our friends by
nnhelnful criticism. We have grumbled
sufficiently at our own achievements
to realize that the path Of war pre-
paration in the United States must be
obstructed with at least as many diff
culties as our own has been and still
Is.
IF we have been dissatisfied with
our own rate of progress we may be
very sure that our American friends
have been equally dissatisfied with
theirs, and that, true to their national
character, they have been even less
sparing In criticism. Since we nave
had to deplore bitterly our own UMPIRE
paredness for the struggle which was
forced upon us, we can not refuse "
recognize that America was even less
prepared than ourselves nor to ADMIT
that she has been quicker than we TO
acknowledge that performance can not
be made to Jump simultaneously with

failed to fulfill her promises up to the

that she will not only do so but Will
