BISMARCK DIsLIkED KAISER.

Washington. May 23.-Long distance
alienists here who say the kaiser is
actually scientifically insane have
first class German Endorsement for
their belief.
Bismarck himself was convinced
that Wilhelm was crazy.

from his childhood ana knew the setTe:
family history and family naladies of
the Hohenzollerns.

and lawyer, that the kaiser was

The kaiser is endowed with the su-

Another German chancellor, Prince
iEohenlohe. said:
Far from being the sincerely relig-
ious man which human stupidity has
credited him with being, he is the cool

and the most ungrateful person l ever
came across"

the kaiser because of his habit Of but

PROUD OF AMERICA FIGHTING

Foreign Born Citizen Admirss France
and Foch and Tells Why.
In most communities in Iowa are men
of foreign birth, and it is notable that
they follow the war news with, II pos

American fellow citizens. In not few
cases they are more or less familiar
with the ground over which the armies
are fighting overseas. Angeles Piculos

France, sympathy translated now into

the deciding blow in the present great
war. The heroic people of France did
not appeal in vain to the people Of this

Two things keep Germany in the war
today-its forty-two years Of military
preparedness enabling it to throw
great masses of men against France
and the car Of Russia letting the Ger
man spies control Russia and give Ger

When the Germans failed to reach
the French capital when they thought
they would, the speed Of the great
Latin nation in preparation for long
conflict was a wonder to them. When
the Germans marched thru Belgium to
make u short cut to Paris, the Belgians
held them for while. forcing the Ger
mans to use up their big guns to de-
stroy the great forts Of Liege and
Namur. This gave the French chance

approximately three times as much as
in any one of the last three years.
Total capital expenditures approved
by the railroad administration as an

railroad administration, and slS,203, 900

The figures disclose Director General
W. G. McAdoo's determination to let
the railroads make many improve

last three years thru permitting track
| to run down and postponing all posi-
bic projects requiring big expenditures
of capital. Practically all sums ap-
proved for extension are to continue
those already under construction. and
in some cases projects already under
way have been disapproved and work
discontinued.
The railroad administration elimi
mated s349,2 900, or nearly one-fourth
of the railroads prop osals. The admin
istration made it plain most Of its deci
sions may be reconsidered later in the
light of any growing necessity or lack
Of need Of betterments.
In general the eastern trunk lines
were given generous sums for i'm

them better to handle the great flood

however, the budgets of eastern roads

Part of the capital necessary will be
supplied by the government, from the
