HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF
O -
Tuesday

Sudden and Kaleidoscope chan
ges In the war situation may be
expected at any moment. In all
Germany and Austria there is
chos and despair, while under tho
terrific strain Of impending dis
aster and ultimate defeat it is re
ported that the Kaiser has broken
down mentally and physically and
is on the verge Of dementia. This
important information came thru
a Mexican source. Faced by an
enraged and triumphant foe on his
every battle front and surrounded
by a popu!ace in his own domains
ripe for revolt because Of the ut
ter failure Of his military plans
and the Germanic ambition to rule
the world; with his Turkish allies
battered to pieces by Gen. Allen
by's victorious armies and suing
for peace, and with both Austria
and Turkey ready for any peace
terms that may be presented, it is
no wonder the Kaiser is at the
point Of distraction. In his utter
dispair he has called a. council Of
Kings with the forlorn hope that
he Cen array the remaining ner
trial nations against world demo
cracy. His peace note having
failed in its purpose, German di-
plomats are seeking any cunnin =
means that may help avert the
inevitable disaster that appears
to be near at hand. 1t is believed
that the reports to the effect
that the Kaiser is contemplating
abdlcation is but one Of the clever
diplomatic ruses to cover up his
threatened mental collapse.

was stationed there during the build

shared all the hardships OF frontier
life. A little island in the stream
which flows past the forst is known
as Clusters island. and is especially
associated with the name Of Elizabeth
Custer because she nearly lost her
life there in a flood one Of the Of
ficers dashed her TO a great log. so
that her body might be found after
the flood was over. Suffice it TO say
that Mrs. Custer still lives
