KAISER INSULTS
LADY GUEST
Outrages by His Officers Prompted by
Examples Provided by Their Ruler


Reason for outrages committed
against the young womanhood Of Bel
GUM by the officers and men of the
German army is undoubtedly provided
in the truths now coming to light of
the insulting manner in which the
Kaiser himself has frequently receiv-
in the White Room Of the Imperial
Palace, where his generals and other
officers are present and have seen the
disrespect shown female guests by
their own ruler.
The Kaiser is a slave to beautiful
hands and has often distressed ladies
of the court by his bold, public admit
ration and insulting insinuations. A
case now receiving considerable at
tention here in America is that of
Miss Gertrude Astor.
Most of the rings and bracelets
worn by the Kaiser are duplicates of
ornaments he has noticed on female
hands while admiring and fondling
them, even strangers, in public; but
this is but one of many sensational
peeps into the private life, the habits
and mannerisms of "The Mad Dog of
Europe" as shown in Rupert Julian's
startling screen production, "The Kali
ser, the Beast Of Berlin" to be shown
at the Empress Theatre on Thursday
and Friday, May % and "a, afternoon
and evening.

Tuesday the editors visited the
aviation fields at Lonoke, view.
ing enroute as fine farm lands
as may be found, including some
OF the greatest rice farms in the
world. At the aviation fields
exhibition flights were made, but
on account of the unfavoradle
condition of the grounds only
four machines were sent up.
But these fout demonstrated
clearly their complete mastery
of the air.
Wednesday afternoon the en-
tire party boarded a special train
for Hot Springs, stopping for a
trip over the famous mines at
Bauxite, where 80 per cent of the
worlds supply of aluminium is
produced, and then at Benton the
Niloak pottery plant was visited.
where delicious punch was served
and souvenirs provided by the
management.
Arriving at Hot Springs the
party was met by a brass band
and marched to the Arlington
Hotel. where the remainder of
the business sessions were held.
incidentally, these business sess-
ions were all quite instructive,
presenting some splendid papers,
but as most of them were shop
talk" they would prove of little
interest to the reading public.
Thursday, Friday, Saturday
and Sunday were spent in the
beautiful City of Vapors, and
many interesting sights were
presented for the entertainment
of the visitors.
Sunday night the party en-
trained at Hot Springs for an
eight days tour of Arkansas, the
itinery covering fifty-one count
les and a total of about 1900
miles.

No Profiteering
In Ice Permitted

That the United States Food
Administration is very much in
terested in only a fair margin
of profit ice dealers during the
summer months is indicated in
the following telegram received
by Hamp Williams. Federal Food
Administrator for Arkansas.
THE Food Administration is
concerned that there should be
no profiteering in ice and
especially that the cost of ice to
those elements of the community
which are least able to protect
themselves should not be in
creased over last year unless alb
solute proof can be given by the
ice companies as to the necess-
lily. ANY increase in price over
that ruling last season to the
household consumers will there
fore justify investigation as to,
whether it constitutes profiteer-
ing.
All ice dealers should be re-
CURED to file with you any pro-
posed Scedule of incre ased prices
before those increases are put in
to effect, aud no increase to the
household consumer shall b e
made until after investigation.
Your attention is called to that
section of the Food Control Act
in which provision is made with
regard to unfair practices, and
incase of a proposed increase in
price you should investigate the
tendency to make unreasonable
lower prices to commercial users
than to domestic consumer, con-
sidering at all times cost in dis
tribution. An unreasonable diff
ference would be unfair practice.
The ice problem is essentially
a local problem and we do not
wish to intervene where local
dealers do not increase prices or
come to an arrangement with
municipal authorities which will
be satisfactory to both dealer
and consumer. If, however, such
settlements cannot be made by
local authorities in cases where
there is an attempt to unreason
ably increase prices we suggest
that you investigate and in the
first instance endeavor to arbri-
trate settlement. Should this
fail so report and then we are
prepared in the interest of reason
able prices to use all power we
have, including license in any
given locality, and to place ice
handlers in that locality under
the restraints of the Food Bill.
I'VE hope that the matter can
be settled by local authorities in
all cases and that as few appeals
as possible be made to you.
Notify local Administrators to
oring to your attention any at
sempts at increase in prices, and
notify all Dealers

Pounds, which consisted of
seven words by actual count.
After a business session the
visitors motored TO Camp Pike
where a special review and
several Interesting drills indicated
the thoroughness of the prepar-
alton given our boys in camp.
