KAISER E GUARDED
 WITH MUCH CARE
(By Associated 1'ress1

LONDON, Jan. 17.-so closely is the German emperor guarded when ne travels by rail through Belgium that his movements are kept even from the railroad officials handling his train up to the last possible mo- ment, according to a correspondent of the Chronicle who has several time witnessed the emperor's ar. rival
 Whenever the passage of the Im- perial train is to take place the fact is not known to the chief railway of. ficial until the same day, and to his subordinates not until quarter of an hour before the arrival" the cores pondent says. "In the station the lines are all kept free"
 Describing one such arrival of the emperor's train the correspondent says: "All workmen, on this occasion, whether Belgian or German, were dis patched outside, and access to the station was forbidden. This applied to all passengers as well. The military guards occupying parts of the sta tion and .environs were ordered to leave their posts and pile their arms. The only persons allowed on the plat form were the stationmaster, his en- ployes appointed to work the signals, and the military chief. There was no guard of honor, no manifestation what ever.
 "This clearing of the station takes place at every station through which the train passes, which 1t does at the maximum regulation speed. At Brus- sells detrainment took place opposite the Place Rogier, which is military post since the occupation. ...z-.
 The space in front of the station,
 hich is always scsbadden ground to passengers, was occupied by several motor cars. As soon as the emperor entered his car the small fleet ran swiftly to the Pare Rue Royale, where the kaiser stayed several hours.
 During the presence of the kaiser the officials always display the ut. most nervousness in fear of anything taking place, and they always breathe a sigh of relief when their master Is gone. The fact that even the military are obliged to retire and pile their arms seems to suggest distrust of his own army"

denies that he received any assist
ance In planning and caring for the
garden The garden was entirely his
own work. Mr.. Stoddard says. His
communication follows:

THE first stated my garden was To-
Gated In North F Street, when 1t

under the direction of Mr.. Murphy.
THE garden was planned and man
aged by myself and all planting and
further attention given, done by Mrs.
Stoddard and myself without any 9th
er assistance whatever.
This is not written to take any
honor from Mr.. Murphy. who by his
persistent efforts, has proved his
worth and has made such fine show
ing for Richmond in the war gardens,
but to show that we won the honor
conferred by our own efforts alone.

HUN DIVISIONS

in Six Months on Western
Front.
(By Associated Press)


WITH THE FRENCH ARMY IN
FRANCE, July rs. (By the Associated
Press) Morning.-Owing to the de-
lection Of the Russians from the al
lies the Germans have been able to
place 210 divisions on the western
front this year. From January to
July "a, little more than six months
these divisions have been engaged
about 430 times. SO that each has
been thrown into the battle at least
twice during the half year. With OPP
lerations becoming more frequent this
proportion is rapidly increasing.
When the present battle began the
Germans had 20 divisions on that por-
ton Of the field westward from
Rheims as far as Chateau Thierry.
Now the front has been widened by
the allied attack from the latter city
to the Aisne and the Germans have
hurried more forces into the line.
bringing the total now engaged on
this part Of the front to over forty,
and placing considerable strain
upon the enemy's reserves.
They still have reserve divisions
concentrated at some places behind
their lines, but many units comprised
by these divisions have been sorely
tried already this year and is Is ques-
tionable whether they are all SUM-
GENTLY rec4perated to participate in
a new attack should the German staff
decidento order one to retrieve the
defeat OF the crown prince.

The lakes were covered with wild rice,
celery in quantity could be located by
the deep sea divers. The Noble Red
Man, quick to locate and pre-empt
sections where game was plenty and
manual labor made easy, called this
section home and were loath to relin-
quish their inherent rights. A body
of water now known as Rice Lake, in
Atkin county, about miles long and
2 miles wide, whose depth, tempera-
ture and sub-soil were especially
adapted to the raising of wild rice in
quantity, was the mecca of all adjacent
tribes during the harvest season, when
they permitted their squaws to garner
the winters supply of rice, their staff
of life.
The tribal tepees were pitched near
the shore and the season was an inter-
rupted succession of gala days for
the Indians. Gambling in every form
then known to those crafty warriors,
was scheduled day and night. Tests
of skill and athletic speed or endur-

blaze of glory. A horse race, free to

There is big and growing demand
for men in the merchant marine.
Work In this department is quite as
patriotic for men not in the draft as is
any government work" stated Re-

Merchant vessels carrying supplies to
Europe have to be manned, and with
the increasing number of vessels that
are being launched every day, the de-
mand is becoming larger than ever
before, but the recruits are not ans
