Washington, Nov. 17.-Informa-
ton reaching here from official
sources indicates that the situation
in Holland is causing grave appre-
hension and that the presence there
of the former German Emperor with
member sof his family and some OF
his strongest supporters may so in
fame the people as to endanger the
monarchy.
While it is true, it was pointed out,
that the former Kaiser is practically
n prisoner in the von Bentinck castle,
he snot the prisoner of any OF his
foes. It was suggested that the I'M
mediate fate of the Ex-Kaiser is OF
little moment compared with other
affairs in Europe, his presence upon
an already disturbed state in the
Netherlands that he is the object OF
corcern among allied statesmen.
Bolshevism apparently has taken
root in Holland. Before the war the
relations between the Dutch and
Germa ncourts were very close, and
it is suggested that the Belsheviki
may see in the presence OF the form-
er ruler of Germany an excuse to
precipitate an uprising against the
Queen.
The bread ration in Holland was
increased from 200 to 2SO grams
per person per day, beginning Friday
according to a cable from CONNER

to the Department of Commerce.

Want Ex.Kaiser Removed.

Washington, Nov. 17.-According
to information reaching Washington
there is strong sentiment in certain
quarters of the Entente governments
in favor of inistin gthat the former
German Kaiser and his eldest son
shall be compelled to make tneir
residence at some place remote from
German territory. 1t is likely that
there will be equally strong insist
ence that no son or brother of the
former Empero rshall be permitted
to reside in Germany.
Nothing has yet appeared to indi-
cate a disposition on the part OF any
of the governments at war with Ger
many to provide unusual punish
ment for the former Kaiser and FORM
'er Crown Prince. The feeling ex-
ists. however, that it should be male
impossible for them to carry on in

cratize Germany
The suggestion that the ex-Kaiser
should be kept under guard on a
remote island, as was Napoleon, has
not attracted attention, apparently

MEMORIAL. SERVICE
FOR ENOS FRETZ
Who Fell in the Defense of His
Country and Human
Liberty
OCTOBER THE EIGHTH
OCTOBER THE EIGHTH

The methodist cDurch IN tnlS cltJ
yesterday afternoon contained a
large audience to listen to the en-
choniums of praise bestowed upon
Enos Fretz, the brave young soldier
who fell in action for his country
and to break the shackles of slavery
that bound the feet Of his fellow
men. The speakers were Rev. Mr.
Stanbury, pastor Of the Methodist
church and Col. Bruton.
Mr.. Stanbury explained that the
young man was member of that
church and also member of the
Finch Baraca class. After devotion.
al exercises and the reading of ap.
propriate resolutions by Mr.. d. T.
Perkins from the Finch class, Mr.
Stanbury stated that this young
man Is the son of Mr.. and Mrs. p B.
Fretz of this city and was member
of this church and that we have met
here to honor the memory of one
who belonged to US and to our Sun
day School,
. After the reading of the resolu-
tions by Mr.. Perkins, Mr.. Stanbury
in the course of his remarks, ex-
planned that our young hero wwhc
had offered up his life on the altar
of his country for all that is good
and great was born in Indiana and
came to this state about four years
ago. That he was 20 years Of age
and Joined the church last March
That he tried to get into the Marins
Corps but that he failed in this un.
dertaking and later was inducted in
to the service at Suffolk where he
was employed at that time.
Mr.. Stanbury reiterated that this
was another instance brought sc
'forcibly home to us that we must
give up the very best we have when
great undertakings are in hand, fol-
it is our best that can be depended
on in a struggle or crisis. Every
thing that is good, everything that
is great requires the highest sacri.
fee to attain. France gave her best
blood to set her country free. She
murmured not neither did she COM
plain. 1t was all worth giving ur
her life and her treasure that she
and her children and her children's s
children might enjoy the priceless
boon of liberty and America realiz'
ing that unless she stepped into the
breach the same fate awaited us
that was visited upon France, also
cast her lot with the allies and now
the Oppressor's heel has been brok,
en- and Enos Fretz has helped to dc
it and his name, rests among the i'm
mortals. 1t is glorious position in
which our country stands as the
champion of human liberty and it is
glorious sacrifice this young man
has made for his fellowman, that he
has placed himself on his country's
altar and died that others might
live.
Mr.. Stanbury read number OF
letters showing the esteem in which
the young man was held by his com.
rades and particulars of his death.

How Does He Live?

The business world has a right to
know of any business man not only
where he spends his days. but
where he spends his nights. Ii has
a right not only 10 know bis finan-
cial standing, but also his status in
the scale of social decency. Ii mat
tiers not how profanely he may pro-
test that his private affnirs are not
other peoples business. Bul the
protest is that Of the man in the
wrong. The man who is faithful to
the duties of his office and false to
the standard of domestic decency
must have his financial credit mark
ed down and the business confidence
of his fellow men lowered TO the
class of extra hazardous risks. Such
men are adventures, masQuerading
before the community as respecta.
BILE people, under the belief that they
are deceiving those about them
But a man that can neither be true
to himself nor loyal to his family,
cahnot be a safe leader in industry,
commerce or finance, because the
very foundations of integrity have
become rotten in his character. He
is a man. divided against himself
When the crack in a tall building
appears we know that something is
giving away at the bottom We do
not need a detective to find it out
AS sure as night follows day, wrong
wrecks its perpetrators, first moral
ly, and then in business usefulness
Such a man may live out the full
measure of years allotted TO him
but from the time he has become
a whited sepulchre, his presence in
his country and his community
however great his wealth or
high his station, is just as much Of
a burden to carry. Nature has her
own slow way of destroying the in
dividual who in his heart has turn
ed traitor to his own better self and
to the moral judgment of self-re
spectine community.

BeIated Conversion.

The Socialist meeting in New
York, which was called to bring the
radical elements of the country to.
gether in support of the fight against
Germany. is reported to have de-
veloped high degree of enthusiasm
in support of the war. The fact is
welcome. even though it is difficult
to understand why the participants
required year of war to make up
their minds about where they
should stand.
The invasion of Russia by the
G erman army and the consequent
peril of free institutions in that
country appears to have been a
leading reason for the change of
heart. Is it possible that these New
York Socialists supposed the Kaiser
and his Chancellor and Generals
would be friendly TO the Russians?
Did they share with TrotZky the
notion that it would be possible to
triumph over Hindenbur9 with an
argument on the rights of man?
Apparently they did, and that
frame of mind is what leaves an Or
binary intellect in state of mute
incomprehension.
Everybody else anticipated the
results of Trotzky's policies months
ago, and German aristocracy is do.
ing nothing in Russia now that is
not consistent with its policy and
doctrines, as they were established
long before the war.

an unobstructed view of the ap-

Nichols is so years old. His wife

of which she was member. The
Hume's and Nichols families were
intimate friends. Mrs Nichols, who
is in California for the benefit of her

friends. When the two families
lived in Webb City they were neigh
