The SOLDERING effect of the mighty
calamity of war is being felt in even
the wicked city of Chicago A city
ordinance, effective there Monday
midnight, put an end to serving
liquors in cabarets, dance halls and
other places of public amusement.
For the benefit of many of our coun-
try readers, who may not know what
a cabaret is, it may be we'll to
explain that it is commonly a base
Iment room of hotel and the wicked
est, because of the apparent respec-
liability of the holsteries, are those of
the most popular hotels. The cab
aret is a dining room where the SER
vice begins late in the evening and
ends well toward the dawn. Meals
drinks. Good people, as the world
reckons goodness, patroniZe them.
Some men take their wives to the
cabaret and other men take the other
fellows wife. The company may sit
for as many hours at it is able to
eat and drink. Music is feature of
the cabaret. Mere man sometimes
dispenses the music, but it is usually
a woman whom nature has blessed
with voice, and boldness to appear
scantily clad for the entertainment
of a liberal minded public. The
music is for the entertainment of the
diners, and also serves sometimes
the useful Office of preventing the
couple or quartet at the next table
from hearing what is said. Many
good people go to cabarets, but for
all that cabarets are no less way
stations on the joy road to hell. Bully
for the wicked city of Chicago.

With the rapid increase in the
number of automobiles the question
of protecting the public against
wreckless driving becomes more i'm
portant. The officials charged with
the public's protection should see
that speed limits are respected, and
that license to operators are granted
only to capable and responsible per-
sons. The law makes the operation
of an automobile by driver when in
an intoxicated condition cause for
forfeiture of license, and this pro-
vision should be rigidly enforced.
Only few days ago young man was
fined fifty dollars here for wreckless
driving machine, and after the fine
vas paid went Immediately upon the

I'd, to endanger his own life as well

KAIsER's MIND REELS
AND MAD HOUSE yAwNs

Washington, May lit would
not surprise our state Department to
learn that Kaiser Wilhelm is a raving
maniac, confined in an asylum.
II has been known in inside circles
for some time that the German ruler
has been suffering from all symptoms
of incipient insanity, and the strain
under which he has been laboring
during the war has aggravated his
trouble.
This insanity stuff is not brought
forward as a Joke. II is a fact that
alienists and other medical men in
this country are just beginning to get
authentic wond of.
Reports have been received lately
that the Kaiser has become obsesscd
with the notion that he has divine
mission to save humanity"
His religious mania has been much
accentuated.
May BE Hereditary.
Years ago when the writer was
in Berlin the Kaiser's condition was |
the subject of common gossip which |
for diplomatic reasons could not be |
written about in the newspapers.
Things happened on the occasion of
Roosevelt's visit to the Kaiser which
could be explained only as evidence
of mind so erratic as to be barber
ing on insanity.
Those who have had opportunity to
study the Kaiser's case can regard it
as hereditary. His monomamia for all
things military, touched with religi
Gus mania, has made him tremend-
)usly effective as an instrument of the
militarist cult.
The Kaiser all his life has thought :
only in terms of war. His great uncle, :
frederick The Great, is his idea of =,
what a man and ruler should be. And .
very activity of his mind-which is
formally rather good student mind.
Experts say-has been devoted to the
purpose of building up Prusian war
making power.
Kaiser Watched Constantly.
Science, learning, industry, the
rts, the resources of the country, the 5
hurch, the peoples religious beliefs, e
he pleasures and even the bearing j
# children and their training in a
chool have been warped to the one n
purpose.
Before war days it was the daily u
nd hourly task of the German for n
ign Office to keep a check on the |.
Kaiser and see that his little insani- a
les did not lead to diplomatic conse-
uences. He was constantly under u
spionage and in tutelage. e
When he talked too much and too c.
ndiscreetly he was reminded to de-
list.

PORT CONGESTION IN
 FRANCE FOR YANKEE
 TROOPS CONSIDERED
CBy Review Leased wire)


 WASHINGTON. Feb. 5.-In view of the difficulty in finding ships to put American fighting power in France. General Bliss. representing the United States at the supreme war council. is considering with British officials the advisability of starting 8 flow of Am erican bsttaliOns through the British training system to front line trenches in Flanders. It was learned today that a proposal has been made that l5o bat taliOns be assigned for such training.
 Congestion at the AmeriUan debar- katiOn ports in France lies hack of the suggestion. By diverting units to Brit ish ports. and finally transferring them tO General Pershing's army it has been urged that many men could be put on the firing line who otherwise could not he sent forward for months.
 Proffers Of British and French ships to carry American troops have accom-. panied urgent representations in be half of the early movement of ss many men as possible. There are intima. tions that great British transports al ready have been used to carry Ameri- can troops.
 The question apparently Is one of maintaining continuous supply hnes rather than of finding ships to carry the men.
 Secretary Baker refused today tO discuss any of the questions involved in the shipping situation
