The Dump.

And now we may behold, my
friends, where constituencies
ambition ends. Five years ago
the kaiser sat, with eagles on his
golden hat, the ruler of a mighty
state, in industry and commerce
great. The kaiser might have
said, Gee whiz! How pros
porous my country is! The
credit I'll receive, no doubt,
when death has put me down
and out. In future ages men
will cry, How sad that Kaiser
Bill should die! Our country's
never been the same since he
cashed in and quit the game !;
no other kaiser's had his pep,
and we go backward step by
step They'll bless my name
till time is done, and chaos shall
engulf the SUM-" But Kaiser
Wilhelm sat alone, upon his
large upholstered throne, and
said, 'It's not enough for me,
this graft Of ruling Germany.
1t is too small and cheap a stunt
for one with my majestic front.
The whole blamed world must
knuckle down and tremble at
my war lord frown. My ships
must boss the seven seas, my
banners float in every breeze. :"
And now we see the kaiser's
end; there's none SO poor to call
him friend. And men will
gather round his grave, and
say, "He was both fool and
knave. With world-dominion
dreams he fooled, and wrecked
the mighty land he ruled"

HOUSEWIVES SWINDLED
BY HUCKsTERs, CHARGED
Chevy Chase and Northwest Wash
ington Get Short Measure, Supt.
] Roberts Says.

George NJ. Roberts, superintendent
of weights, measures and markets,
today charged that hucksters OPP
Grating in Chevy Chase and the
northwest section of the city are
swindling housewives by charging
high prices for short measures and
are masquerading as Maryland farm
ers.
Mr.. Roberts warned housewives not
to buy potatoes, apples and other
farm products from the farmers"
without seeing to it that the products
bought are measured with standard
measure which bears the stamp of
the District weights and measures
department. The use of the so-called
''bushel basket" should never be per-
mitted.
The hucksters, Mr.. Roberts says,
evade the weights and measures law
by selling by the bag or sack, rep
resenting that it is about SO many
pecks or bushels. The sacks usually
contain half or two-thirds of the
amount paid for. it is charged.
Mr.. Roberts states that under ex-
listing law he is powerless to stop
such swindles unless purchaers use
more care in their transactions.

strikers began returning to work to-

seems broken, as the result of the
governments threat to enforce con-

army, unless all were back at their
jobs by Monday.
In Birmingham, especially, many
returned to the munitions plants.
The government estimated that there
we're only about 100000 still out in
England this morning, and this num-
Der was steadily dwindling The
government claimed that earlier fig
uTes as to the number striking were
eyaggerations.
In Coventry the situation was IN

threat of enforced army service.

The Graphic said the governments
action would cause immense relief

men who "wantonly hold up MUM
tons to our soldiers" the Chronicle
declared that sternest measures must

The Telegraph suggested that the
munitions workers stomach their
grievances. IF the men in the
trenches struck whenever they had
a grievance, what would happen TO

The Daily News called Lloyd
