GOD AND THE KAISER

It appears that the kaserS sense of relationship or rather partnership with the Almighty has recently under gone change Until he undertook conquest of the world the kaiser held himself be the greater of the two His notion of his own importance in the universe inspired Captain COghan of the United States navy twenty years ago to write the Thymed satire, HOch der Kaiser The spontaneous verses served as spce for convival dinner gathering found their way the farthest of the earth. and while intelligent people smiled them they read between the lines the kasers obsessOn-hat hls power was at tast equal with Gods and they feared the time would come when he would try exert that power
 Now the kaiser mOdeStly takes second place, and throws the responsibility for the world upon God; the kaiser is simply doing Gods will earth On this point he expresses himself clearly in message to the up per house of the PusSian diet which sent him birthday greeting recently. Said the German emperor:
 The intimate union of the crown and the people,
 which received as a sacred heritage from my father
 dates from the hard times which Prussia was trained
 for it's wOrld-hStOric mission.
 May these hard years of StreuOusneSS, which
 feel more deeply in consequence of the responsibility
 placed upon me by God strengthen and deepen this
 intimate relationship that 1t may stand the test Tn
 the battles which still lie before in the great tasks which after victorious peace shall have to fulfill in
 an altered world
 It will be an altered world Before the war is over there may be enough left of the old civilization to enable the survivors to undertake the work of rehabilitation but the war shall continue until the nations engaged in it are exhausted and the accomplishments of 2OOO years destroyed then civilization take fresh start. It will be an altered world. If Germany wins the world will he in slavery to supremey cruel military autocracy endurabe to people who have breahed political freedom If America wins the world will be safe for democracy r. will be altered world but God did not place the SpOnsiblity for altering upon Emperor William H. The Kaiser is sefcreated god ptess god of who has determined that millions of human lives must be sacri- feed to gratify his ambition He is false god whose power America must destroy. Otherwise the altered world will not be fit abiding place for free peoples.

With the same old grooming chuckle that

A face lined hard with burrows where

Blue eyes that had grown shadow-set

The face of one who moro than life un

The Evolution Of Wall PaDer

Some of the early ATTEMPTS in the
manufacture of wall paper are highly
interesting. Tapestries were the ele
giant wall coverings through the Re-
nalssance, as they had been during the
Middle Ages. But tapestries were ex
penslve and beyond the reach of ordi
nary persons. SO good citizen Of
Rouen named lie Francois hit upon the
idea of initiating tapestries He had
lanclful drawings made in the tapestry
style on large pieces Of paper pasted
together in about the size of tapestrv
Upon these drawings LIE Francois snrcad

the mucllagc with powdered wool in
different colors. papior voutd,' as it
vas called, came into general usage.

England not long afterward, with some
success. By degrees the French gave

oeiter eubs.'tntc for The tapestry MANY
hoted artists furnished designs for thc

TO have almost monopoly upon the

prepare for a surprisingly big drive In
the spring.
From all signs and limitations com.

from persons high in the conduct OF
the war. and from hints dropped from
Washington, the number Of Americans
who will be in Europe by spring will
be q great surprise.
1t is admitted, on high authority
that there are thousands more sol
diers in France than it was thought
there would be. From preparations
being made at cantonments and from
the numbers 10Y in transit, there will
be many thousands more in Europe
within a short time. They not only
will be in Europe, but they will be in
the front line, SO present advices point

continue to aid French, Italians and

1t is up to chapters to inform their
members of the necessity for more
sweaters, wristlets, helmets, mufflers
hospital garments, surgical dressings
etc. Hundreds of thousands of each
Of these must be made to take care OF
the boys in the spring.
The time to start the preparation IL
now. The chapters realize that 1t takes
lots of time to get all of the necessary
articles together, and each one will
want to make a good showing when
the shipments are made.
OF course, the thousands Of Ameri
can soldiers will need Red Cross
nurses to care for them. Forty thou

surgeon-general for the near future

where Red Cross canteens have been

ahead for any service that a cantssn

rangsments are made beforehand for
the preparation of coffee n sand

notice and their transportation to the

500 men will require so gallons OF cof-

possible to provide every troop train
with cooking facilities, in which a
hot coffee. is greatly appreciated by
the men.

that, owing to delay, his food supply
