THE UNIFORM AFTER WAR.
Officers May Wear Uniforms Years
PriVates Three Months.

Washington, D. When the sol
dieds come home from the front the
first thing they will want to know
will be:
May we continue to wear our uni
forms?"
The thing dearest to a soldiers
heart, next to home and mother, is
his uniform. Even selective service
men who felt repugnance to donning
the khaki when they were drafted
have come to feel great affection
for it. The boys will hate to go back
TO civilian clothing.
So I have made an investigation at
the war department to learn whether
or not returned soldiers will be per-
mitted to wear their uniforms after
they return to civilian life.
Of course the law proscribes the
wearing of army or navy uniforms by
civilians, and attaches $500 fine and
six months Imprisonment to the Of
Tense. But here is good news for
the officers and enlisted men:
Officers-After his honorable dis
charge from the army, navy or marine
corps, a commissioned officer may
wear a uniform of the highest grade
he has held on occasions of cere-
mOny.
This means that at public recep-
lions, dinners, balls, mass meetings,
and other similar functions, any Of
ficer above the grade of ensign or
lieutenant may wear the uniform of
his rank.
There is no time limit in the law,
so that if he likes he may wear the
uniform to a meeting of world war
veterans fifty years from now. He
cannot, however, wear his uniform to
business or for pleasure.
Enlisted men-The law as applied
to enlisted men of any branch of the
service is not so considerate. 1t per-
mits enlisted men to wear the uni
| form for three months after the date
of discharge; after that they cannot
wear it without risk of arrest and i'm
| prisonment.
| The law specifies that the enlisted
man may wear his uniform from the
place of discharge to his home, with
| in three months after date of his dis
/ charge"
This would indicate that if the SOL
der stays in the town of his dis
charge for three months, he may wear
| the uniform all that time, but that
whenever he goes home he must
adopt civilian clothing.
But the war department it is be-
lieved, will be inclined to wink the
eye at literal violations of the rule
so long as the soldier is not caught
wearing the uniform after his three
months expire.
So that when your boy comes home
he may feel perfectly safe in wear
ing the khaki for the admiration of
his family and friends until three
months from the date of his dis
charge.

INSIDE STORIES
Of ABDiCAT|ON
Of THE KAISER
BY John McHugh Stuart.

Paris.-"Do you want your kaiser
or do you want peace" demanded
the former emperor of Germany Of
his assembled Prussian troops at Spa
when he found that revolution was
fast springing up in his armies.
Peace" was the answering shout
These and other interesting de-
tails of events at German great head
quarters at Spa during the stormy
days just before the ex-kaiser abdi-
Gated were described here by an AM
erican who has just arrived from the
Belgian city.
The inhabitants at Spa had many
stories to tell of the incidents at Spa.
The exkaiser was told by his gener-
ais that mutiny was widespread
among the German troops in Bel
GUM and that force was getting
ready to march upon Spa from Liege
and compel the war lords abdication.
Spa was then put in state of siege.
The streets were barricaded and ma
chine guns were mounted at strategic
corners of the royal chateau grounds.
Told Revolt Serious.
The former kaiser then asked his
generals if the revolt was serious and
LHey JOlQ MIN 1t was.
Then numerous bodies of Prussian
troops, upon whose answering 10y
atty the war lord thought he could
confidently rely, were summoned from
the battle lines. They were assembl-
ed before the then kaiser and it was
then that the fatal question was put
At the same time the kaiser asked the
soldiers if they would protect him.
This part of the Interrogation went
unanswered.
Even then William hesitated to give
up the scepter. Time and again the
German generals insisted that the
troops could not be relied upon to
give their master protection.
1t seemed that Liege, where the
first battle of the war was fought, was
the hotbed of the mutiny, which
spread with wildfire rapidity to actual
revolution
Tears Ran Down Cheeks.
Finally, realizing that his power
was gone from him, William consent
ed to abdicate. Tears ran down his
cheeks as he signed the historic doc
ument. His signature was placed up
on the decree in the same chateau to
which the armistice ENJOYS journeyed.
Immediately the erstwhile kaiser
left for Holland, surrounded by a
strong guard of officers and hand
full of soldiers.
The armistice plenipotentiaries
complained of the truce terms, which
they called 'inhumanly hard upon the
German people" but they had to ac-
cept them. Even they protested that
Germany had not been beaten in the

Torpedoed U. S. Transport Re-

She Was One of the Great Hamburg

United States.

Washington. - The United States
transport President Lincoln, formerly
the Hambrrg-American liner, of lS,oOO
tons displacement, has been sunk by
German U boat while on her way back
to this country after landing troops.
Word of her sinking was flashed to
the navy department by Vice Admiral
Sims, but no details were given he
yond the fact that she remained aiioat
an hour.
The President Lincoln was COO miles
from the French coast when sunk.
The announcement of her sinking
made by the navy department, said:
The navy department has received
a dispatch from Vice Admiral SINS
stating that the United States steam
ship President Lincoln was torprdo"d
at 10 40 o'clock this morning and sank
an hour later. The vessel was return
ing from Europe No further partIru-
lars have been received.

received unoflicially here indicaie 'llu
the U boats may have opened IL DIES

predicted of late. The Germans have
said they would center attention OF
American transports and cut oft com

and Europe. The attack OH HE l'lrSr
dent Lincoln may lie the ,ir:i hi"H
struck in Il carefully p.aE!ed cam

unanimous that the German ciI"lS
will be thwarted.
That she was attacked 50 far from
the French coast makes ii appear Iic';-
sble in the opinion o. naval officers
that she ran across one OF the large:
German submarines, possibly one og
the latest cruiser type, which carry
five inch guns. Vice Admiral Sing
brief dispatch makes II certain, how
ever, that She was sunk by torpedo
and not by gunfire.

on Both Sides.

Paris. - The strength Of General
Foch's reserves has been felt by the
armies of the German crown prince in
The battle for Paris"
East of the line running from Sois-
sons to Chateau Thierry, where the
Germans on Saturday gained several
additional villages and then attempted
10 proceed further westward, magniti-
cent opposition was imposed by the
newly strengthened lines, and with fer
rifle Smashes the French forces recap
tured Longpont, Corey, Faverolles and
TroeSnes, vantage points in the center
Of the line leading to the forest of Viii
!ers Cotterets, which seems to be the
present objective here of the enemy.
!averolles was again lost later.
The Germans, however, still have in
their possession the village Of Vau-
reZis, lying to the west of Soissons,
and further south Saconin-et-Breuil,
Chaudun, Licy and Bouresches, the
last named directly west of Chateau
Thierry. A little to the southwest of
Chateau Thierry the enemy has reach
ed the Marine.
Having failed in their efforts 10 con-
quer Rheims by direct assault, it now
r,o,,,e to l,a +bo Iutoptiop ff thn Cor
mans further to widen their occupa-
ton of the territory lying south Of til
Rheims-Dormans road and thereby
outtiank the cathedral city and bring
about its capituation. In the fighting
in the immediate vicinity of Rheims
the enemy won the fort of La Pom
relle, but his tenure Of the position
was short lived, for the French troops
in Il counter attack reconqucrcd it.
Taken all in all, the second week Of
the new battle found the allied line
from scissors to Rheims, although it
had been bent back at various points,
not so hard pressed as on previous
days and seemingly more capable of
resisting the enemy's onsaughts. Just
how many men the allies are opposing
against the 10 German divisions that
are now actively engaged on the SoiS..
sons-Rhcims front has not become ap-
parent. but the fact that on the west
the enemy is being not only held. but
driven back at points and OF the
southern end of the salient he has
been able to make only slight new
progress is apparen. evidence that a
turn in the battle is not far distant.
