HARDEN, ONE MAN
IN GERMANY WHOM
EMPEROR FEARS
Editor of Die Zukunft Does Mot
Mince Words in Attacks on
Ruler or His Cabinet; Never
Yet Suppressed.

Amsterdam, July 4.---Maximilian
Harden, the only fearless editor in
all Germany, has broken loose again
And thereby hangs mystery.
For years Germans have been
discussing the question: "Why has
Harden an immunity that no other
journalist enjoys? Harden is by birth
Polish jew and has made the anti
Semitic Prussian ruling class his spe-
cal targets.
Always Is Fearless.
1t will be remembered that In
his paper, Die Iukunft, he exposed
the immoral practices of some Prus-
sian princes who chummed with the
kaiser. Since the war began he has
been just as fearless. He went on
from boldness to boldness, until one
day the news was cabled that he had
been squelched by having him called
into the army as a minor clerk.
But they reckoned without their
Harden. Only recently copies OF Die
Iukunft were smuggled into Hol-
land, They contained slashing ar
ticles by Harden in which he bitterly
attacked the peace terms imposed
upon Rumania and scored Kuehl-
mann, the ex-minister for foreign af-
fairs, for his conduct at Bucharest.
Bitterness Long Standing.
Harden has just put his documents
and papers In safe place, either
in England or In some neutral coun-
try, and any radical action against
him would be followed by the pub
lication of these manuscripts.
1t all goes back to the eighties.
The old Emperor Wilhelm was fail
ing. His son, the liberal Crown
Prince Frederick, was known to have
fatal throat ailment. His wife
was an English princess, daughter of
Queen Victoria. She brought to
Germany English liberalism and was
bitterly hated by Bismarck. the iron
chancellor. who was the real ruler.
Bismarck's Mistake.
The apostle of blood and iron
knew his day was over If Fred
erick reigned long as emperor, 50
he devoted himself to cultivating
Frederick's eldest son. the present
emperor. Wilhelm openly coveted
his fathers throne and flouted his
mother. When the old Wilhelm died
Frederick reigned just a few months.
His body was hardly cold in death
before the young emperor practically
turned his mother out of the royal
palace,
Bismarck foresaw another long
lease of power. Then wilhelm, who
could brook no rival, suddenly dis
missed the old chancellor. Embitter-
ed, Bismarck made himself a hermit
at this country place. One of the few
welcome visitors was Harden. who
became one of Bismarck's intimates.
He engineered a press campaign
against Bismarck's enemies and it
is hinted was made a repository OF
all Rismarck's vast knowledge OF the
secret history Of Prussia and the
Hohenzollern family.
That's why the emperor and his
junkers dare not go too far with
Harden. He knows too much about
them and wouldn't scrupie 10 use /.
II they pushed him.

was the blue Of France that was mov<
ing past the Germans were not particu-
larry interested. They had seen that
for years. They know France always
has had an endless line of everything
needed for war. But when they saw
the khaki of America fling or rolling
by for a whole day and then for an
other, and heard the muddy shuttle Of
feet through the night, there was a
change In the dull expression Of those
German eyes. 1t was at this time that
I went to the prison to learn what they
thought of what they had seen. First
1t should be stated that these prisoners
see little of recent developments In
the war. They must form their opin-
ions from. ruch fragments of CONVERSE
ton as they hear from their keepers
and from what they see, as, for In
stance, from the long, long line OF
Americans, the first they had seen.
In this particular prison the new
Corners had brought the news situation
up to early spring. but as for the big
offensive the prisoners knew only that
there probably would be one.
Americans Surprise Germans.
When / asked II there was a German
among the two hundred who could
speak English, a good looking young
man, with a typical Teutonic mustache,

like an automaton, clicked his heels to-
gether and saluted the French captain.
He told me he was a private; that he
has q home in Lucerne, Switzerland;
that he fought eight months, but was
never wounded that he is In the whole
sale dry goods business In Berlin, and
that he does business with John Wanna
maker, Marshall Field and Stern
Brothers.

rams you have seen passing here recent

The Mentally Defective Soldier.

For the first time In the history Of
warfare. says the New York Medi-
cal Journal. mental hygiene as prac-
ticed among the soldiers is given the
prominence 1t deserves, and, profiting
by the experience of ERglahI and
France in the present war, the surgeon
general was impelled to inaugurate
an elaborate organization both In num-
Der and plan, to take care of any men
tai disturbances detected In the camps
or among the soldiers during the war.

PRUNE COMES INTO ITS OWN
Has Won Official Recognition as Con- lection Worthy of Being Served
 to Fighting Men.

In the piping times of peace the prune was the butt of cheap wits and the bane of the boarder. Now when the acid test of utility and palatabil- ity is applied the despised prune steps into the preferred class-at least on the American army bill of fare. It has won it's way solely on its own merit. The counts in its favor are food value, tonic value and value as confection. It nOurishes, stimulates, and delights.
 The surgeon general of the army himself testifies to the loyal and help full support of the once belittled fruit. He has added his recommendation to the approving report of the subsist- ence division. This report tells us that out of the 1917 crop 2O,OOOOOO pounds of prunes have been consumed by our fighting men. Based on size 1ffty-five, which is the trade designation of the average prune, the total number con sumed would be 1,1OO,0OO,OOO. Placed side by side it is quite possible that this total of prunes wouldn't reach from the American trenches to Berlin, but each prune, no doubt, is doing it's best to help the Yankee fighters cover the distance.
 There would be a sort of pOetical justice In the circumstance if the cheerful idiot and the other bOarders whose table wit fingered longest about the patient prune could meet it over there In Flanders and In Picardy and find 1t hOnOred and extOlled as the food of fighting men,

WAGE WAR ON GRAssH0PPERs
California Authorities DeVising Ways and Means to Protect AgricuItur'
 al Lands From Pest,

County horticultural commissioners throughout California have been asked to forward information on the grass hopper pest reported prevalent in a number of districts, particularly In northern California, to George H. Hecke, state horticultural commits SiOner.
 Fragmentary reports received at Hecke's office have indicated that large swarms of grasshOpperS have infested agricultural districts in Sut- ter, Modoc Lassen, Butte and other counties and have caused considerable damage to crops.
 One of the best methods of exterm- ination, an official said, is the spread ing of poisoned bran mash, which the hOppers devour quickly, Burning of the grass. also is an effective means, but the fire menace at this season necessitates the exercise of greatest cautiOn..
 Narrowing, by which means the eggs of the hoppers are brought to the surface to be eaten by ants or other insects and flooding the ground also are advocated to prevent matching.
 The enforcement of laws for the curbing of pests is vested in the c0uA. ty horticultural commissioners, but in cases where the menace to crops is extensive the state commission coop crates in a concerted campaign of ex' termination, as was done this spring when the statewide rodent drive was conducted.
