LIFE OF RECLUSE LED By FOR
MER EMPEROR

Amerongen, Holland. December Is
The former German Emperor con-
tinues to lead the life of a recluse. He
is virtually cut off from communities
ton with the outside world.
Reports that he was in constant
with his former ad-
visers are not true.
There is no truth in the rumors that
the former Empress is seriously i'll.
She has been troubled for years with
an affection of the heart, and after her
arrival here desired to have her for
mer physician in attendance.
He arrived at the castle yesterday
and said her condition showed no
change. Whenever there is break in
the incessant drizZle, customary in
Holland, William Hohenzollern and
his wife take walk with one or two
attendants. Sometimes they take a
trip in a closed motor car.
The correspondent inquired into the
rumor that the former Emperor in
tended to move his quarters and learn
ed that Hohenzollern is not interested
in other houses in Holland, and is not
likely to move anywhere until he
knows more regarding his future.

THE WEEK OF THE SUPREME
TEST

The supreme test of the loyalty of
Kentuckians to the Red Cross is being
made this week to end with next Mon
day. Every person is urged to be-
come members by paying the small
fee of one dollar and if you have not
already entered upon the Roll of
Honor do not let another hour pass
without doing so. No money could be
better invested or any that will pay
as large dividends in the satisfaction
of having contributed even that little
to help a cause that responds to the
cry of the sick and suffering every
where and which regards no danger
too great or any sacrifice too much
for any effort that will succor and
comfort any class of military or civil
ian unfortunates. The call is for uni
versal memberships and 1t is hoped
that the people of this town and coun-
ty Will vie with each other in see
ing that every man and woman be-
come members.

Starch in potatoes is not destroyed

TO recover most of the starch from

Idaho Senator Wants Congress to Re-
peal All War Laws Immediately.

Washington, December l7-"While

through Congress, must work for re-
turn to democratic democracy untaint-
ed by arbitrary methods and measures
held necessary to the ar."-Senator
VIM. E. Borah.
In this statement is summarized the
purpose behind the efforts of BOrah
and other progressive senators who
are demanding immediate repeal by
Congress of certain war measures"

working under concerted plan, strive
fer common aims, including:
Full restoration of the right of free
speech.

It's right of free and open discussion of
public men, publis policies and nation
al events.
Further characterization of Con-
gress.
Applying this thought, Borah
said today:
THE war is over. The true test of
democracy is whether when war ends
democracy can get back to purely
democratic principles. Can it put be-
hind it arbitrary methods and meas
ures supposed by some of the essen
tial to a war program? 1t should and
it can do so, If the people so will.
