WASHINGTON, Dec 3.-Unceasing
efforts to get American casualties to
this country and get them published

Corn beef and cabbage. calf's liver
and onions and a west wind viii start
discussion on the freight side of the
Standard Steel Car Company in Ham
mond any day
When the Ordnance Department took
over what was formerly the passenger
side of the Standard Steel they cut of
the freight side by building a high
board fence NO alien enemy or en-
ployee of the freight side could ever get
by that fence. In fact there was no
great attraction on the ordnance side
until the large fine cafeteria was com
pleted Ever since that. there have
been questionings as to why the freight
side men could not go over and get a
hot midday meal.
The freight side has been building
French and L. s administration cars
and for some time has been doing about
100 per cent war work. The freight
side pressed and shipped its second
order of shrapnel shell forgings long
ago. Still the boys must eat their cold
lunches as they look through the cracks
in the ordnance fence and see huge
platters Of hot food served in the cafe
terra. But when the aroma Of corn
beef and cabbage or liver and onions
floats gently over the fence and perco-
lates through the freight side depart
ments. the discussion gets animated and
arguments of the exelusiveness Of the
cafeteria get hot and furious.
So far no drive has been made on
the food-dividing fence but # the cafe
terra persists in serving up sweet smell
ing food and the wind continues in the
west. no telling what sort Of a salient
may be expected.

the formal abdication of the Kaiser
IS genuine and it is equally possible
that it is nothing of the kind" says
The Morning Post in commenting
on the Kaiser's belated abdication
1t continues:
In either case the instrument
contains no word concerning sue

ter-signed by any responsible off
cial. If however, by virtue of this
paper. Wilhelm has adbicated he
has been staying in Holland under
false pretenses.
His abdication had been formally an
nounced by what was presumed the
German government. II now appears
he was German emperor until last Fri
day and not private individual. In
that cast the hospitality OF Holland has
been abused
TIE paper calls attention to the fact
that the Kaiser made known his abdica-
ton only when 1t was demanded Of him
and as what proof of his abdicatin he
gave the Dutch government when he
