We imagine that Herr Krupp will have
a devil of time speeding up production
again at Essen after the Kaisers merry
little talk to his dear friends" the em.
ployes.
Our advice to those who are concerned
in bolstering up Prussian morale would be
TO keep the Kaiser at the front as much
as possible.
The gist of Wilhelm's discourse at Essen
was, We have been so victorious that now
We are fighting desperately for existence"
If the folks at Essen are really such
dear friends Of Bills. it was heartess Of
him to wait more than four years before
visiting them. One can hardly resist the
when he felt he had desperate need Of
them.
But it must be very awkward for tn.
people who are in charge Of Bills move
ments. There are so few places they can
send him where he can really enjoy him
self and yet not be a nuisance.
In the long home that Wilhelm will ulti.
mately go to visit no housewarming will
be necessary.

Three of Wagner's ships were seized by the British and one by the French during 1915 and in the prize courts tes timony indicated German backing for the American Transatlantic company was aired.
 Tried to Arouse Hatred
 These seizures" said MT. Garyan, were made the basis of master eff fort of Bernstorff's German propa- gandists in the United States. Resort was had to every device to arouse hatred and ill-feeling in thB country against Great Britain. Under the di- rection of von Bernstorff the agitation assumed nationwide proportions" Wagner insisted the ships were pur- chased with American money and claimed that the American investors in lthe company were entitled to protec- ] tion and left nothing undone to take

under the examination of MT. Garvan protested the ships were American owned but finally confessed that the backing of this venture to keep Ger man commerce on the high seas came from German shipping interests.
 Wagner Under Suspicion
 Suspicious were entertained by this government from the time Wagner sought to have his eleven ships, then flying neutral flags. transferred to American registry. At the time the ships of the company were com mandeered by the shipping board as were other ships flying the American flag. the navy department. it is known, refused to deliver to the commanders confidential instructions and other | naval secrets because they were no, American citizens.

 Richard G. Wagner. the American born head of the concern, for three years deceived the American govern ment with truly Prussian arrogance according to Francis P. Garvan, in- yestigator for the custodian. Mir. Gar van said Wagner deceived British and French prize courts for three years as to the real ownership of the property. 6ackers Were Germans Mir. Garvan, who made public a summary of Wagner's activities. said the ships were bought with German l gold and the company was organized eight months before the outbreak Of
 hostilities with funds which Count von
 Bernstorff caused to be transmitted here for Wagner's benefit. Wagner

 May Have Supplied Raiders
 .Wagner's ships were reported at va rious times to have been supplying German raiders with provisions and to have conveyed German gold from the United States for use in South Amer ica but these charges Wagner indig- nantiy denied, always protesting his Americanism. In citing these reports MT. Garvan recalled that Wagner had published a half page advertisement offering a reward of $50.000 to anyone who could produce evidence that his ships had been supplying German raid CTS and at another time offered 1000 to any one who could prove tine Ameri- ican Trans Atlantic company was Ger man owned
