Washington, Dec 9.--Aaaerica will

kaiser, his sons and military and dip
ion.atic supporters, state department
officials believe, although because Of
q hesitancy to embarrass this coun-
try's peace delegates no official decla-
ration of the United States policy
along this line has yet been made.
All doubt as to whether the AReri-
can delegates to the Paris conferences
would be prepared to go that far has
been removed, it is believed, by the
confirmation now coming 10 light ON
the attitude of William Hohen0oliern
and his supporters toward the revo-
lutionary movement throughout Ger
many before and since the domestic
upheaval which quickly followed the
signing of the armistice.
The revelations being made in re-
gard to the circumstances OF the
kaiser's flight 20 Holland and his ac-
tfonS since are believed to have been
we'll known to President Wilson at
the time he decided to head Americas
peace delegation. knowledge OF the
true conditions and the realization
that they must be dealt with firmly
right on the ground was one OF the
chief factors which caused President
Wilson TO make the trip to Europe, 1t
now develops.
That the senate, which must con-
firm any peace treaty made, Will BACK
the president firmly in any demand
made in behalf of the United States
for the cxtraditiOn and trial Of the
kaiser and his advisers before
court of nations was made clear by
several members of the foreign at
fairs committee whose opinions were
asked
Washington officials were inclined
at the time to accept with great de-
gree of reserve the statement made
by prominent British official ten
days ago that the kaiser's journey to
Holland was not a flight brought on
by fear for the safety of his life, but
deep laid plot to deceive the allies
and The United States into making
easy terms for Germany, after which
at an opportune time he plotted to
return and again head the German
nation.
But the disclosures now made that
William HOhenzollern- has been keep
in" closely in touch with the heads or
the army in Germany and directing its
conduct by means of cipher messages
has removed all doubts from the
minds of even the most incredulous
that the kaiser is attempting ire
mendOus hoax on the world.
Whatever illusions about mercy for
Germany the president and the other
American peace delegates may have
entertained Immediately following the
kaisers supposed fight are believed
to have since been entirely removed
by. evidence that the brains of the old
German cliques are actively at work
to maintain the skeleton of the old
organization until a propitious time

SAVING SOCIETIES
AS AID TO THRIFT
Making Success Of Connecticut
Campaign Possible

Hartford, March 13.--Tha War
Saving Society Is the big feature Of
the thrift campaign at this time.
The intensive drive, which was car
ried on throughout Connecticut has
resulted in bringing thousands Of
men, women and children into the
army of savers. But unless 1t is pos
sible to organize this army and main
tain the interest that was created
throughout the entire year, a large
measure of the good work accom-
plished will fail of it's complete re-
suit, according to statement issued
today at the office of the state direct
or.
In every factory, store, school,
church, lodge, or wherever else ten
"r more war savers meet regularly,
war savings society may be formed.
Such an organization, with regular
meetings, with program SO arranged
as to keep before the minds of the
members the vital Importance of the
thrift movement, with records show
ing the savings accomplished each
month by the membership, will keep
alive the enthusiasm and cultivate a
spirit Of emulation which will keep
the thrift campaign alive, a potent
force in the great work of winning
the war.
Booklets containing the rules for
organizing these societies with sug-
Sestions for keeping the records and
for programs, which will prove of
interest and value to the members,
will be supplied by the state director
for war savings.
These societies are all affiliated
with the national war savings com
mittee. and certificates OF affiliation
are issued to them as soon as they
are organized. Service flags have
been designed which will indicate the
progress made by the society from
month to month. Other interestin.
and valuable adjuncts to the work of
these societies are being constantly
worked out
