The Kaiser's Awakening.

dad" Lewis of White Fish, Mont,
who spends great deal Of his time

effusion on the Kaiser which ne SENDS

Only five years ago, the Kaiser had
a wonderful dream. 0, says ne, we
can take France and London, too. But
little Belgium, she rose up and said,
'You can't cross here" and they
fought like heroes, but they didn't
have the size. So then we took a
slice of France, and we feasted on
their women and their wine, but now
we are going back to the Rhine: Fol-
since Uncle Sam has sent his Yankee
boys, we have changed our mind
We're going to bid farewell to France

Lieut.. WIN. Mulroy in the Thick Of thl
Fi4hting.

Lieut.. VIM. Mulroy has written an
intensely interesting letter to his
brother, M. F. Mulroy, manager Of the
Russell Miller Milling Co., Of this
city. Every word Of it is worth pub
fishing, but the Lieutenant asked that
publication Of it not be made. We
cannot refrain, however, from mem
tioning an incident in connection with
the Lieutenant's going over the top.
He has been in the fighting for some
time and he is no doubt proving to the
Huns that he is a regular fighting
Irish-American. The company had
gone over the top and met with a
fairly warm reception at Hun hands.
Lieut.. Mulroy received blow on his
steel hat that stunned him for a bit,
but kept on. They later were advanc--
ing thru the woods, apparently not
meeting with a great deal of resist
ance, when they encountered some
machine gun nests. The bullets spat-
tered around them fast and furious,
and the Lieutenant states that they
we're whizzing all around him. To
make matters more interesting, Hun
airplane came down low and fired a
volley of machine gun shots at our
bows. The Americans were victorious
in this battle, taking their objective.

Draft and Hide In the East.

Chicago, May 1.-THE Khaki was in
evidence yesterday at the trial Of the
T. w. ". John Byra Of the S0Sth field
artillery, stationed at Camp Dix, y. j..
testified that John Avila one Of the
defendants, advised him not to en-
list and gave MIN an address in Bos-
ton where he might go and avoid ser
vice.
Byra, Pole. &c years old, who has
only taken out his first citizenship pa
pers and who was exempt from the
draft, said that In August, 1917 he
went into a barber shop in Franklin.
y. j.. where ne was in business run
hing a little confectionery shop. and
that Avila. who was then employed
there as barber, spoke to him about
the draft and advised him to avoid it.
A few days later. Byra said. Avila
came to his store and gave him Bos-
ton address advising him to go there,
as he would be secreted.
Avila, who was employed as an or
ganizer, especially among foreigners.
working as a longshoreman. was con-
nected by number OF letters read into
evidence by Attorney Claude Porter
for the government with much /. w.
w. activity in New England. He was
compelled by the police to leave Fall
River. Mass. and wrote big Bill
Haywood in Chicago, When I was put

RAPS TROOP CRITICS.
Doushboys as Loyal as Saints; HE'D
Kiss Their Boots.

Washington. May 14.-Clergymen
who have been upbraidinG the morals
of our men in the trenches are con-
demned as lilly livered' in a letter
written by clergyman serving with
the Y. NJ. c. A in France to Raymond
B. Fosdick, chairman Of the war de-
partment commission on training camp
activities. The letter adds that the
spirit, fortitude, and courage OF the
soldiers are magnificent. 1t follows:
Our boys are about the finest, most
outstanding bunch Of brave fellows that
ever were gathered into an army, and
while sometimes. up at the front, l
thought my hair would turn gray 70
see them at their grim business, their
own splendid spirit makes one forget
the horrors thru which they pass.
The men have seen at the front
are mostly old regulars filed in with
volunteers. They are as loyal as
saints. They make the white-tied,
lily-livered brethren Of the cloth. who
piously condemn their morals BACK
home, look small and mean.
"On the whole. even on the minutest
definition Of morality. things. while not
perfect, are infinitely better than l
had expected, and every observer l
have known says the same thins-and
as for the broader morale Of devotion,
unselfshness, cheer under hardship. a
sense Of honor and spirit OF fortl-
tude and courage, our boys are mag
nificent.
II would willingly kiss the muddy
boots Of any one of our doughboys in
a minute If thought it would do any

CHICAGO Horse Market.

Chicago, May 1.-THE horse market
was bit draggy. There were a good
number of buyers on hand, but they
were inclined to pick over the offerings
and refused to bid the limit on any of
the offerings except what they really
had to have. The trade was ceHtered
mainly on the best drafters. Other
grades sold, too, but not nearly as well
as the commercial kinds.
Renewal of the British inspection
has been a help to the trade. The in
spectors are buying riders, light artil-
lers, gunners and transport horses. The
prices are the same as at the previous
inspections. This is looked upon as
being help to the trade. despite the
fact that the prices paid by the British
are now as high as the horses will
bring on the regular market when buy
ers can be found.
Retail trade was slow, there being
few buyers around.
Receipts of horses for today are >es-
timated at 700 head, compared with 656
last week. 939 last year and 1,510 two
years ago.

URGED TO SELL ALL WHEAT.
Government Will Undertak e to Supply
Proper Seed in Case Of Crop Failure.

So great has become the European
demand for -four that the food admin
istration is urging farmers not to hold
wheat for seeding their next crop eN-
cept in few states where the period
of harvesting winter wheat overlaps
the period of planting
While it has been the practice In
many communities for farmers to hold
over wheat seed, the food administra-
ton regards 1t as unnecessary. IT Is al
most beyond belief that in any part OF
the country the yield from the next
harvest will be insufficient to meet
requirements for the succeeding crop.
It has never failed in the past; there
is no reason to believe it will now.
In some sections conditions are such
that it would be practically Impossible
to put in a successful crop except win
seed that had been held over from
the previous year. The food admins
tration recognizes these conditions,
however, and applies its requests only
to those sections where the only rea-
son for holding over wheat would be
to protect aaginst the possibility Oh
failure of the crop now growing
contingency which at present seems
very remote.
Even should there be local crop
failures. It would be entirely feasible
to ship in from other sections SEED
that is known to be adapted to condi-
tons ruling III the afflicted communl-
ties.
Never before has there been such
urgent need for wheat Every kerne.
every bushel, every grain that can
possibly leave the farm may WITHIN
the next few months play an import
ant part in our war program. Thruout
the country millions Of people are
cutting their consumption to the oarest
minimum, many of them going entire.
ly without wheat The release OF
thousands of bushels ordinarily held
for seed would do much to relieve the
present situation and to insure eS-
portation conditions.
At the present rate OF consumption
eacn busnel would provide Bread 1oI
at least one soldier in Europe until the
next harvest relieves the necessity lot
such Individual sacrifice at home. AND
with every indication Of bumper crops
the wheat seed can easily be thrown
on the market.
