The German Crown Prince has been

Amsterdam. His beaten armies have
been showed back a long way from
Paris and the heir to the German

America has a chance to shove the
Crown Prince even farther back into
private life. With the Fourth Liberty

Kaiser Losing Caste.
Undoubtedly the quick subscription
Of the Fourth Liberty Loan will cast a
gloom over Germany. Reports com
Ing from that country indicate that
the Kaiser Is losing some of the old
popularity that made him an idol.
Reports from neutral countries and
articles in the German papers show

war right up to the gates of Berlin.
What the Kaiser is now hoping is that
American people will be careless OF
Indifferent about furnishing the money
that is to keep the United States army
ready and fit to fight. His spies that

when they can mark off a certain spot

What the German general stan
