Prepare Now To See The Kaiser. The
Beast Of Berlin. +"

Did you know that the Kaiser has
a poison-filled abscess in his ear, and
that if it burst he would be a raving
maniac?
Did you know that the Kaiser's left
arm is six inches shorter than the
right, and that the hand is puny as a
child's? And did you know how he
carried it in order to disguise the de-
formity?
Did you know that the Kaiser has
a mania for admiring beautiful hands,
which greatly embarrasses the ladies
of his court? That he wears many
bracelets and feminine rings, copied
from those he ad,nires? That he has
$50 full-dress uniforms, that he was
twice king, twice a grand duke, IS
times a duke, twice a prince, 8 times
count, besides being a bishop?
Did you know why he slaps his right
thigh all the time? Of course you
didn't. Few people outside of the i'm
perial circle know them. They are
secrets as carefully guarded as has
been the proof that Germany planned
and satrted the war;
All these things and many more in
the private life of the Jackal of Eu-
rope, who has plunged the whole world
into war and sorrow, are shown in
"The Kaiser, the Beast of Berlin.
To miss it is to miss the most illu-
minating expose of this enemy of man
kind which will be shown in this coun-
ty exclusively at the Shepherdstown
Opera House July 8, and 9Th.

THE PRESIDENTS PART.

The world will not be slow t.
accord. to President Wilson its
profound gratitude for his share
in the elimination of Prussian
Militarism. No one contributed
more to the building up of the
spirit in Germany which created
the revolution that has swept the
Hohenzollerns and most of the
minor kinds Of the German empire
from their thrones.
The President has been. the
world s spokesman the ;, mouth
piece Of all the governments as
ISOLATED against the Kaiser and
his coadjutors, and no one could
have put their cause more lumin-
onsly or effectively.
Many Of his papers were adj
dressed to the German people and
to them he drove it home with
unerring force that, if they hoped
ever to win the good will Of the
world, it could only be after they
had repudiated the Hohenzollern
claim to the divinity Of kings. aft

Teachers and parents alike are
fully cognizant Of the fact that
when the point Of brain fatigue is
reached the child can go no

Analyses made by eminent psy-
biologists have proved most con-

lowest ebb around three p. M, nor
does this mental activity rise to a
higher point till rest and food

adopt as their own the villainies
of Prussian Kultur, after they
had recognized the worlds abhor-
renee of the methods of the mill
tary leaders of the German nation
and after they had created a form
Of government the world could re-
spect and treat with.
The German people have finally
done what the President has per-
sistently urged them to do. They
have kicked the kings from their
thrones. They have laid tue
foundations Of a real democracy
They need only to offer the
proof Of their sincerity by the es-

FOOD PROBLEMS NOW
s BEING DISCUSSED,

John M. Parker, Food Admin.
. istrator for Louisiana, telegraphed
J; to his Office from Washington ask.
ing that all district and parish
j food administrators be notified
and urged to attend an important
meeting to be. held in New Or
leans, November 23rd. The i'm
portance of the meeting lies in the
fact that the entire program of
the future is to be mapped out,
Mr.. Parker being in Washington
at a conference of similar pur-
pose. ~.
Herbert Hoover's statements
carried in the dispatches Of the
last few days give an idea of the
problems and the manner in which
they will be handled. The popu-
Lar food conservation has aided
nightly in achieving the world
victory. Food conservation will
be relaxed to considerable extent.
The demand for food will be
greater than ever, for there will
be larger armies to feed and more
starving to 'succor. The United
States policy Of humanity will
undoubtedly be to feed the hun
CRY first and then ask on which
side their sons and fathers fought.
Production in the United States
will be kept up by continuing the
adequate reward to the farmer.
The people will be asked to con.
tinue food saving as duty. There
will be less need for the saving Of
particular foods, because all will
be in demand and because the
elimination Of the submarine will
leave an open sea and free move
ment of ships which will permit
gathering the surplus food from
other countries. Wheat embar-
goes will be entirely removed. SUI
gar conservation will continue,
and may last for perhapsfa year. |
The main control which will sur
vive will be that sof food distri-
button. Prices will not be low
for many months, but they will be
held down by regulation which
will prevent profiteering and spsc-
ulation as mach as possible.
This will undoubtedly be the
spirit Of the fateful interval be-
tween armistice and permanent
peace. It will be the basic policy
Of the Food Administration until
the moment of automatic expira-
ton upon the proclamation Of the
signing Of peace with Germany.
The program will depend for It's
upon the cooperation
# the people. The compliance Of
The people is expected to come
rom self-interest as well as from
patriotic and humanitarianprompt-
ngs. Much good will be done in
facilitating the conversion of Eu- .
'ope to democracy and the or !
,anization Of that democracy ac- !
'ording to American ideals. The
God program will create conf :
lence in those ideals, and it will :
ot require any ultra-sacrifice at !
lome. This will be the principal :
Ian and work of the Food Adj :
Illustration, and the details will

erence in progress. The system =
