KAISER SHIFTS
RESPONSIBILITY
Appeals to Fatherland
Party to Stand by Him
Until End.

London. Oct. THE Kaiser has ap-
peaIed 10 the Fatherland party 10
stand by him until the last breath"
A letter written by him to Chancellor
Won Hertling indicates that he has
put himself at the head Of this poll
tical organization. which demands
greater parliamentary power and is
therefore opposed 10 the policy of the
junkers and Pan-Germans.
81 desire" writes the Kaiser. that
the Fatherland party shall cooperate
more effectively than hitherto in de-
Gliding the fate OF the Fatherland. 1t
is therefore my will that the men
who are sustained by the peoples
trust shall in wide extension CO.
operate in the rights and duties OF
government"
In connection with this expression
of the war-Iord. in favor Of democ-
racy il is interesting to recall that
after the defeat OF Russia by Japan.
1T was the Kaiser who advised the
Gar to introduce a democratic ele-
mcnt into the Russian government in
order that the representatives Of the
people might share responsibility for
any evils that might followNa particu-
lar policy.
Commenting on the Kaiser's let
ter the Morning Post says:
at is extremely doubtful il the
German Emperor has any real in
tention of conceding practical re-
forms. but it suits his purpose to
pose as the leader of what Germans
call parliamentarism. In the first
place it enables the rulers of Ger
many to transfer some of their re-
sponsibillty to the men who are
sustained by the peoples trust In
the second place a form Of demo-
cratic government fulfills one of the
conditions postulated by President
Wilson when he announced that he
would not treat with the present
rulers Of Germany"
The Manchester Guardian points
out the the Won HertIing-Von Pay
er combination was commended by
its hackers and. members as having
precisely the character defined in
the Kaiser's letter. though il had
nothing in common with parliamen-
tary government"

OPPOSES UNITY
OF ACTIVITIES
Mrs. Rhodes Against Com.
bining Fairgrounds and
Community Centers.

The amalgamation of the municipal
Fairgrounds with the community GEN.
ters. as announced at the meeting of
the Board of Education yesterday aft
ernoon. called forth the opposition of
Mrs. Susie Root Rhodes, member of
the board and supervisor of play
grounds.
A reorganization scheme for the Dis
trict recreation has been in prepara-
tion for some time and has already
been submitted TO the authorities.
Mrs. Susie Root Rhodes. supervisor
OF Fairgrounds. had been considered
as the logical head OF the united play
ground and community center organI-
Zation.
Mrs. Rhodes at the meeting yester-
day took a decided stand for the sep
arate organization OF the Fairgrounds.
In no way could she indorse the con-
soIidation movement. This attitude,
she explained, was based on the ex-
perience OF other cities who mad
found that the playground system
was more efficient and OF wider serv-
ice when conducted by a department
OF the municipality rather than by the
Board of Education.
The edict. which closed the public
schools of the District for an indefi-
mite period because of Spanish In
fiuenze in the city. was confirmed at
the Board OF Education meeting.
ParochinI Schools Suspend, Too.
The suspension orders affect all
of the grammar and high schools. as
well as the Wilson Normal School.
Although the parochial schools are
not under the Jurisdiction Of the
school board. they are cooperating
in every respect with the school
authorities and have dismissed their
pupils until such time as the pub
lie schools resume their sessions.
II health conditions permit, the
Board OF Education decided. the
night schools will open for the fall
and winter term on October II. A
slight increase over the salary given
last year will be paid the night
school teachers this winter. They
Will receive 500 month for two
hours of service on three evenings a
week in lieu OF the SIS which has
hitherto been paid.
Complete explanation was given
by the auditor Of the public schools
in regard to the delay in the pay
ment OF the September teachers
salaries, which Miss Alice Deal in a
letter addressed TO the board, declar-
ed had cause great inconvenience to
the teaching force.
The 100 changes were equal to the
changes that would ordinarily come
in normal school year. As the
schools opened very late in Septem-
ber. and as only an experienced
worker could make these altera-
tions. the payment OF the teachers
salaries have been unavoidably de-
Iayed.
The salaries Of the janitors OF the
District, II was announced. will be
paid on Friday.
Decides on Substitutes Pay.
A decision was also reached con
corning the payment which should
he made for substitute teachers. This
will be at a rate pro rata with those
who are on the regular roll. During
the first month of substitute work
the teacher will Ice pai $50 a Gay, the
second and succeeding months she
shall receive $50 a day.

ties begins November llth, lasting
one week. DO not let us think
that because the war appears
nearly over that these agencies
will not be needed longer. While
their representatives go every
where the soldier does, their great
est work is in the camps, and even
If hostiliiies should cease at once
IL will be long time before de-
mobilization is completed. When
the exacting duties of the firing
line are over and relaxation
comes the soldier needs and will
seek recreation. and il is then that
these various agencies will prove
their value, furnishing just such
amusements, safeguards and helps
as you would wish your boy to
have. If the past is any criterion
ii is safe to say that our quota
will be raised and we shall "go
over the top with whoop. This
drive differs from the loan drives

stead of loan. Still, it is an cx-
cellent investment, and one that

MADE FROZEN FISH POPULAR
Eastern Dealer Revealed Possibilities
by Dinner He Gave to Women
Of Massachusetts, Town.

Practicing economy in food buy
ing, to those who have the desire, is
largely question of keeping their
eyes open to changes in supply and
new methods Of keeping and cook
ing.
There ia an unwarranted preju-
dice against frozen fish, but, accord
ing to a prominent dealer, who has
made study of kitchen psychology
as well as of the fish business, this
old idea that freezing spoils the
meat gives way before actual dem
onstration. He gave fish dinner
TO several hundred women in a Mas
sachusetts town, using little-known
variety that must be frozen to be
marketed successfully. Most of the
'7omen who attended said it was
hard for them to believe that frozen
fish could be so delicious. Now they
are regular buyers of this class of
fsh-in fact, the consumption OF
this one variety doubled in New
England as result Of telling the
housewife what she had been miss
ing in good food and in opportunity
for saving.
1t is estimated that Cape Cod pro-
duces annually about 15,o0O,00O
pounds Of this variety-the whiting
the flesh of which is so tender
that it must be frozen in order to
stand up in shipment and on the
market Massachusetts has been
using only about 100000 pounds a
wear, but men in the fishing indus
try now estimate that the sales this
coming year will reach 100000
pounds. The consumer has learnce
about the price and the flavor. Many
people go to the beach in the late
fall and pick the frost-hemned fish
from the shore.
