follows, under date of March %.

My dear DR.. Hymes:
| received a postal card from
Dr. Wolff this morning and it
brought back Old memories. Sit

exception, it was: Good morn.

mon this morning" Just out
side the door. | could see Mr..
PIoeger and Mr.. Daus and other
good men, loading their ma
chimes with their friends SO as
to get them home before the
dinner got cold.
Last week some good member
OF the Brotherhood sent me an
American Magazine and | Ger.
tainly enjoyed reading it. The
sender neglected to put his card
inside and it is impossible for
me to thank him. | will be very
glad for you to thank him for
ihe and tell him that his time
and money were not spent in
vain.
We were honored with the
presence of Mr.. Edward Ploeger
at our camp some days ago and

THE HAND OF THE kAlsee.

The U. S. secret service officials have
recently uncovered the fact that the
Kaiser was the chief owner of the New
York Evening Mail. the purchase hav-
ing been traced directly to Count Won
Bernstorf and his slush fund.
This is not the only newspaper own
ed by the Kaiser in America. either, if
circumstances and conditions were
thoroughly investigated. There have
been several papers established recent
~ in Idaho by the leaders OF the Non
partisan league that are actively doing
the work of the Kaiser to the limit OF
their ability in stirring up strife and
class hatred and sedition among Idaho
citizens which II they are not owned
by the Kaiser they are certainly enti-
tied to one of his iron crosses.
