KAISER MAY HAVE
TO LEAVE HOLLAND

William Hohenzollern will have to
leave Holland If his presence there
becomes perilous to that country
Premier Ruija De Beerenbrouck is
quoted by the Amsterdam corre-
spondent of the Daily Express az de-
claring in the second chamber of the
Dutch parliament on Nov. 20.
THE kaiser is in Holland as a pri-
vate person" said the premier AS
quoted by the correspondent. The
hospitality OF the country is extend
ed him in accordance with centur-
ies-old tradition. But it goes with
out saying that the moment his So
journ becomes a danger to the state
he will have to leave"
The foreign office confirms the re-
port that the rBitish law officers of
the crown, in cooperation with the
French authorities, are considering
the question of extradition of the
former German emperor. The for
eign office says that the law officers
have not as yet made report and
consequently no action has yet been
taken.
The former German crown prince
had not seen or heard from his
father for weeks up to the time he
was taken to the island OF Wieringen
according to an interview he gave
to newspaper men while OH his way
through Holland to his present home
in the Zuyder Zee island. He said
that his wife would remain in Ger

Frederick William was quite ac-

said he did not know how long he

coffee and biscuits. The party was

AUDUBON PIONEER
PASSES AWAY
SPLENDID WOMAN HAD LIVED
IN THE COMMUNITY FOR
MANY YEARS.

The people of Audubon were
greatly surprised Tuesday morning
TO learn of the death of Mrs. w. b.
Davis, which occurred at her home
at 1880 d. M, after short illness.
A few months ago Mrs. Davis was
stricken with paralysis but for the
time being recovered to such an ex-
tent that she was able to be about
her home and to lead the members
Of the family to believe that she
might ultimately recover
On Saturday morning Mrs. Davis
received another paralytic stroke
which apparently affected her heart
action. She partially recovered from
the stroke and seemed to continue
to improve until Monday afternoon
when a change for the worse came.
She grew rapidly worse until the
end came early Tuesday, morning.
All the love and care that skilled
physicians and an anxious household
could devise and apply to her COM
fort were brought into play. but it
was all in vain, the disease had be-
come too firmly rooted and it was
impossible to overcome its effects.
AS the death dew gathered on her
brow around her bedside gathered
her husband and daughters. The
life so long interviewer with theirs,
with fearful eyes they, watched as it
slowly but surely passed over.
Mrs. Davis was splendid Chris
rian woman and was loved and ad
mired by all who knew her. She
was q kind neighbor, devoted mother
and true friend and withal a wom-
an of heroic mould in bravely meet
ing the stern requirements of life.
Mary J. Green was born Jan. 4,
1910, at Sabula, Ia. and died at her
home in this city Nov. 26, 1918. She
was married in Jackson county,
Iowa. Oct. is, 1856, to William b.
Davis. To this union five children
were born, George. of Morristown, S.
d.. Marc, Lucy and Elizabeth of this
city and John, who died some years
ago. Mrs. Davis in girlhoOd united
With the Congregational church and
on coming to Audubon became a
member of the Presbyterian church.

WHAT AMERICA GAVE.

The cost of preserving liberty to
the world as far as the people of the
United States is charged tC the poor
as well as the rich. S. w. Straus Il
Co, one of the large houses in New
York says: Food that cost 81 in
July, 1918. now costs in Washing
ton. $1.S5; in New York. s1.6S. in
Baltimore. 81 ga: in Chicago, sl.69
in Philadelphia. $l.77. and in San
Francisco. Si.5S." That has been
per capita tax. for the rich con
sumo little If any more of the sub
stantial food products than do the
poor.
The cost of the war, however. is
not nearly so large as has been
stated by some sensational writer's
Our total disbursements to Oct 81.
1918 were 900, less
loans to the Allies, $1,000. 200 900.
leaving net amount expended for
our own account of $14.3O0,O00.
However that is so large sum
that il is beyond the reach of the
imagination. The same authority
quoted above says: ALI the wars
in the world fought since the Ameri-
can revolution. and prior to the open

an aggregate fighting period of sixty

money, they put 100000 men in

GODS LOVE AND
OUR GRATITUDE

1t was Gods original plan
When re created man,
For him to so live and be
That he would from sin be free,
And recognize his Masters voice,
But Adam made his choice.
From that day
The sun shed a darker ray.
Jehovah suffered this
That man might enjoy partial bliss,
And gave his children bread
Upon which they fed.
Not considering their duties of life,
But oft rejoicing in strife,
Yet with His strong arm
He protects them from harm.
When 1 consider his kindness,
And behold the beautiful sky,
l understand not why
Some rush on in blindness,
And then they complain
Ii we get little rain,
But never Him thank
When the harvest grows rank.
This, methinks, reveals to man
That few do the best they can,
Because God warns us all,
Take heed before We fall.
But do We not stumble
II we constantly grumble,
And regret it as naught
When, He our battles has fought
Do you not believe
We cause God to grieye
When We laugh at some prayer.
And ours are very rare?
Can we not look above
And trust His infinite love?
l believe We could
If we only would.
His spirit calls TO every one
Before deaths battles have begun;
Always once, sometimes twice.
But II may not call thrice,
We each receive one call that is
strong
Accept. It's duration may not be
long
When you feel Him near
Just pray. and not fear.
We are nearest the goal
When the innermost fibers of the
soul
With the deepest thought
Freedom through prayer has
sought.
Then the burden is lifted,
And the clouds have drifted,
Redemption has come
The victory is won.

DIED ON HIS WAY HOME.

Fay =. Marshall. of Kirkman. died
very suddenly late Saturday after
noon while in an automobile ell
route home TO spend Sunday with
relatives. He i'm company with two
other gentlemen from the same town
had been in Guthrie county doing
some carpenter work. They passed
through Audubon and stopped to
talk for a short time. They entered
their auto to continue the homeward
journey and when out on the ridge
road the men had kept up CONVEX
sation. Mr.. Marshall occupied the
back seat and when one of the men
spoke to him he failed to get a re-
ply. He glanced back and found that
Mr.. Marshall had fallen from his
seat onto the floor of the car. The
driver stopped and both men tried
TO arouse him from his apparent
stupor In this they were unsuc-
cessful. They were near the farm
home of HanssC. Madsen where they
stopped. They telephoned for DR..
Halloran: who on examination found
that the man had died of heart
trouble.

THANKSGIVING SERVICES At
PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH

The annual Thanksgiving services
will be held at the Presbyterian
church this evening ut 1880 p. m.
The sermon this year will be
preached by Rev. Hansen, pastor OF
the Danish Lutheran church.
Thanksgiving this year means
much more to us than at any time in
the past. President Wilson and
Governor Harding have issued their
proclamations and il is expected that
the people everywhere will comply
with wishes of the heads of our gov
eminent. The inclement weather
will doubtless keep many away. but
the four inches of snow should make
us feel all the more thankful and
the church tonight should be crowd

WILL ENTERTAIN
FOR RETURNING SOLDIERS

1t is the intention of the Soldiers
Service League of Audubon to hold
a public entertainment in honor of
the boys in the service who are now
returning from the various camps
throughout the United States. This
same league had charge of furnish
ing the entertainment for the boys
when they left. 1t was an easy mat
ter to provide sufficient entertain
ment at that time for it was known
positively when they were to leave
and also how many were to go. But
the matter of their return is an en-
tirely different proposition. No one
knows when they are coming, so
therefore it is impossible to make
any arrangements to give them the
public reception they are entitled
to.
The league has decided to wait
until number of them have reached
home and at sometime in the future
hold a public meeting in their honor
to which all of them will be invited.
And it is not going TO be any small
affair. This thing must be done up
brown. The people are determined
that the boys shall know how much
they are appreciated.
Perhaps the soldier boys and
their parents prefer to visit with
each other first. They can have
their own family gatherings and
when the time comes we can all join
in the public gathering. The league
and the people Of the county want
the boys and theft parents to know
that the public has some claim on
them. During the next two weeks
many of the boys from the county
will return from the camps in the
United States and perhaps during
the holiday season would be a good
time to hold a public reception.
