try. ! want to commend them very high
ly for their Christian and patriotic sacri-

80 to 65 per cent. Of the normal amount Of
coal consumed. Father Long also Is doing
his part and IL conserving coal In many
ways. l want to hold up the Montpelier
churches as an example to the entire

satisfaction to learn that the churches OF

fuel administration. deferring opening OF
schools until January II. hope to hear
such reports from the clubs. lodges and
other organisations. that will enable me
to issue word Of communication to them.
Reports from all over the State indicate
that the churches are making strong ef-
fort to unite or In some manner to enect
saving of coal. The fuel administrator
does not appeal to the churches and
schools alone to conserve coal. but It 10
very gratifying to see them take the lead

FARMERS URGED TO

Food officials Fear Big Wastage

(By Food Administration

Springfield, Jan. 4.-There IL q possIbil.
ity that many farmers in Vermont will
find themselves in the spring with large
quantity OF potatoes on their hands for
which they will not be able to find
satisfactory market and consequently
will suffer financial loss which could be
avoided II they took steps for market
ing them now at q reasonable price,
according to information which comes tn
the food administration of Vermont.
Last year the farmers saw the prices of
potatoes soar nfter they had sold their
crops and from which increase they did
not profit. There seems to be tendency
amony mang farmers this year to avoid
repetition Of this experience with the
result that many are holding back their
crops In anticipation Of future prices In
creaslng, not selling Thorn early in the
season as they did last year.
The potato crop In the country was OF
ouch proportions that there is now no
reason to believe that the prices will reach
the high mark Of last year. The PEOPLE
are not eating potatoes In desired QUAINT.

Consequently, there Is a larger consump.
ton Of wheat than is desirable or than
there would be IL local potatoes were com.
ing into the market at anything like a
price that would move them.
The food administration feels that Il
would be disastrous II the farmers were
to find themselves with large stocks Of
potatoes on their hands in the sprinr
which they would either have to throw
away or feed to the hogs. There was a

Is possible that loss will also be suf-
fered from this source.
From the standpoint Of stimulating pro.
duction and Of conserving wheat and
other essential foodstuffs it is highly de-
sirous that potatoes move freely. A price
can be obtained by the farmers which
VIII give them reasonable return and
winch Will also create a real demand on
the part Of the consumer. 1t is the opin-
ion of the food administration, based on
information secured from reliable SOURCES.
mat farmers should be giving serious
consideration to the potato question.

CHAPTER ~.
America Dlsappolnts Kaiser.

The kaiser assembled the throne in
1883. For twenty-six years his reign
was unmarried by a single war, al
though twice during that period, once
In 1908 and again in 1911. he nearly
succeeded in precipitating a conflict.
Subsequent developments have
brought out clearly enough that during
all these years of peace, the kaiser
was only awaiting the opportune mo-
ment to bring on war.
Germany's preparation consisted not
merely in building up her army and
navy and developing a military spirit
In her people. but in trying to estab-
lish friendships abroad where they
would do the most good In the event
of a world war.
The German military preparation
was more or less obvious. The kaiser
was always its warmest advocate and
frankly admitted that II was his inten-
tlon TO remain armed to the teeth, al
though he protested to me many times
that his sole object was to maintain
the peace Of the world.
In 1918, for instance, / was In The
Hague when Carnegie delivered a
speech at the opening of the Peace
palace, in the course of which he de-
clared that the kaiser was STUN
bling-block in the way of world peace.
When 1 got back to Berlin / mention
ed the fact to the kaiser, hoping to
draw him out. .. $50

to sink the Lusitania, disobedlence
upon his part would have left but one
course omen for him: suicide. If, on
the other hand, the kaiser meant TO
intimate that the U-boat commander
sank the Lusitania on his own initia-
tive or without special instructions
from his superiors. the fact still re-
mains that the kaiser could undoubt-
edly have prevented the tragedy and
didn't.
But II there can be any doubt as to
the kalser's direct responsibility for
the sinking Of the Lusitania, certain 1t
Is that he fully approved, openly de-
Tended and even exulted in the murder
of women and children by Zeppelin
raids on London, Manchester, Liver
pool and other non-military cities and
towns.
England expects to starve my
women and children to DEATH" he de-
clared to me early in the war-long
before we in Germany had begun to
feel the slightest effect of the dimin-
ishing food supply, but our Zeppelins
will give their women and children "A
taste of war, too. Confound them
They sit on their island and try to
starve us; we Will give them IA taste OF
what war is !"
This was the man whose various
acts of consideration towards me,
whose talents aud personal charms.
