KAISER TOLDH|
AIM TOEXTENDRU[E
Chicago Professor, in Berlin
Ten Years Ago, Was Asked
to Spread German Ideas

By the Associated Press
CHICAGO, March 21-"Keep the
world afraid, and If il thinks you are
a peace monarch. rattle your sword
and devastate the lands of those who
oppose you"-that was the policy ~
the German kaiser. as told by the ezr..
peror himself to Prof. William II Scho-
field of Harvard University. Prof. Scho-
field said in an address here last night
He was an exchange professor at Ber-
lin for many years and became init
mately acquainted with the kaiser, no
said.
The kaiser forced German professors
to spread the seeds of his policies in
their teachings" Prof. Schofield con-
tinued, and tried to force the exchange
professors to aid him. Whenever j talk
ed with the emperor he showed expec-
tation that l would return to America
and spread his gospel.
Ten years ago he told me of his
plans to manipulate the Jews and Cath
olics and his dreams of a world empire
At that time he even predicted that the
United States would some time be
caught unawares and have to resort to
conscription. but he did not seem to
think that we would be fighting him
when this happened"
Germany did what il could TO bring
about a revolution in Finland years
before the present worlds war, accord
ing to Prof. Schofield.

Detective Dellamico of the ninth pre-

her brother had been staying out late

The detective noticed that the girl was
wearing an attractive necklace, which
corresponded with one that had been
stolen. He asked where she got it, and
she said her brother had found it in the
snow.
Going to the Wiikerson home, the de-
tective recovered a ring that Ben had
given to another member of the family,

Eight robberies of houses in the

boys, according to the officers. Articles

were recovered. About $50 in cash

THE first thing we did when we got
some money" said one of the boys,
was to buy some fried fish at a Greek
restaurant. Then we went to the
movies and bought ice cream cones and
candy"
Charges of HOUSEKEEPING will be
preferred against the boys when they

PARIS, March 21.-The conditions Of

Austria demands that Rumania sur
render all her territory west of a line

doubts this can examine that map OF

these: Peace with annexations and with
indemnfties. For the annexations Rus

SAYS MAIL DELAY IS
GENERAL CONDITION
E. J. Ryan of Railway Associa-
ton Gives Three Reasons
for Congestion.

That the delay in mails is not only
between Washington and New York
but general throughout the country is
stated today by Z. J. Ryan. president of
the Railway Mail Association, who gives
the following reasons:
First. the mails are worked in ter
minals rather than on the trains while
en- route.
Second, in practicing false economy,
he says, the Post Office Department has
instituted a method of cutting down
railway mail space on the trains and
employing a smaller force to work on
the trains.
Third. Trained men are being put on
the surplus list, while inexperienced
men, at lower salaries, are being taken
into the service without regard for
civil service.
Mr.. Ryan said that he can support
these statements with specific Instances.
which have already been brought to the
In explaining the situation from the
viewpoint of the railway mail associa-
ton, he said:
The statement that the DELAY of
mails is only between New York and
Washington is an error as reports show
that mails are being delayed PRACTICAL
1y throughout the entire service. De-
layed mails exist on lines not so con-
gested as the railroads operating on
the Atlantic seaboard The fact is that
the policy of curtailing space for dis
tributing mails en- route in the railroad
mail cars, and also reductions in the
number of railway postal clerks who
performed this very important work of
the postal service, is the real cause for
the present situation. The war is not tn
blame.

whether the present burst OF artillery
fire on this front means that it is along
the line indicated or somewhere with
in it's limits, that the heavy German
blow. if one indeed is coming. is to be
struck. There is the consideration that
the bombardment in this particular area
may be feint to cover a stroke in an al
