CHAPTER II THE KAISER AT POTSDAM
By DIR. ARTHUR DAyI

Getting of Germany proved to be far difficult proposition than had imagined.
 Because American thought would be able to go whenever ready long did overstay the nine months period provided for in the treaty to which have a ready referred although knew, of that would first authorities did not anticipate trouble in that direction however particularly it generally known that had long enjoyed the friendship the other influential Germans.
 In this, however was very much mistaken.

This was my first intimation that we might have difficulty in getting out of Germany.
 A day or two later the Kaiser called on me professionally and told him oi our plight, hoping that he would inter- cere for us It was the only favor of a personal character had ever asked of him.
 My child is ailing, your majesty" l said, land I feel that she needs aschange of climate I applied to the Komman- dantur for leave for my wife and child to go to Montreux, but I have just heard that it has been refusedrf
 Davis, I will see what can do in the matter he replied reassuringly. and as he was leaving my office he turned to me and said in the presence of his two adjutants: Regarding that matter you spoke of, leave it to me and l will see what 1 can dol"
 KAISER'S INFLUENCE
 The Kaiser's influence would readily solve our problem, l thought, and l was very much relieved. Two days later. however. 1 received a letter from Count Von Moltke, one of the Kaiser adju- LdHiss stating that lllt NdlSeT ndu SpOhen ,tn him regarding the Switzerland project, but. under the circumstances it was out of the question. If, however, my child s condition were such as to make a change of climate really necessary, he added the Kaiser suggested that trip to the Austrian Tyrol might perhaps be ar ranged, as the climate there was just as good as that of Switzerland, but be- fore permission would be granted for that trip it would be necessary to obtain a certificate from the district octor stating that it was necessary
 As the food problem in Austria was just as bad as it was in Germany, if not worse, that idea didn't appeal to me at all, and I went immediately to the Rom mandantur and explained the situation to them.
 When they saw Count Von Motke' s letter, the officer in charge threw up his hands.
 "That's final" he declared That comes from higher authority than ours. It is useless to pursue the matter any further. We received communica- tioE from his majesty regarding your case, but the matter was left entirely to our discretion. II was not a command only request from his majesty. A com mand, of course, would have been diff ferent."
 Then l applied for pass for my wife, child and myself to go to America. They pointed out at the komn1andantur that as my wife's application to leave Berlin preceded mine, it was possible she would be allowed to leave before me- l told the officer that that would suit me admirably, as l wanted the pass for Mrs. Davis and the child granted at the earl- est possible moment regardless of what action might be taken on my own appI- cation.

German offensive against Riga. on the
 Baltic. Within three or four days tha Germans captured successivelv the oesel
 Runo, Obro and Moon Islands. in the Gulf of Riga. and then carried their invasion ito the mainland Their ap- parent objective was Petrograd and on October 19 the Russians announced that the seat of the government would he removed from Petrograd to Moscow These successes on the Baltic failed 10 overcome the depression in Germany caused by the serious internal situation in Austria at this period. Munition ia c- tories were being wrecked by hungry crazed and war weary strikers and the populace was being shot down in great numbers in the food riots which devel- oped in various parts of Austria Not since the war began had the outlook been so discouraging for the Germans.
 OFFENSIVE AGAINST ITALY
 Then. on October "A, just as things were looking their blackest. the great German-Austro offensive against the Italians Was started. In three days the Italians were swept out of Austria and the sTeutons pressed forward to the passes west of the Isonzo river leading to the Venetian plains. By the end of October the Italian armies were in full retreat. Before this offensive was over. the Germans captured. they claimed, no less than 300,0O0 prisoners and several thousand big guns, besides vast stores of munitions and supplies
 The exultation of the Germans over the triumph of their armies in Italy knew no bounds. While it was at it's height l had an interview with the Kaiser which will ever remain one of the most vivid in my memory.
 It was about 3:30 one Sunday morning when I was aroused by maid who. in an we-stricken tone of voice. announced that the Neue Palais, the Kaisers pal ace at Potsdam, was on the phone. went to the telephone and was Informed that the Kaiser was suffering from a pad toothache and would send his auto for me within an hour or so.
 l got up at once and packed my in- struments, and at 6:S0 the car, big gray Mercedes limousine, arrived Be- sides the chauffeur there was an out rider carrying the bugle whose dstinc- tive notes only the Kaiser may use. It was matter of only IS miles to the palace, but the weather was foggy and we travelled at a comparatively slow pace. traversing at one point a road which had been built specially for the kaisers use, and it was nearly o'clock when We arrived at the garden gates, where two armed sentries were sta
 toned
 ENTERED THE PALACE A whispered word from the chaffeur got us past the sentries without delay, and we drove up to the front entrance of the palace. couple of liveried lackeys came out and took charge Of my baggage, which consisted of three bags containine my equipment. l was led through the famous Shell Room.

Industries have been grouped into four classes, according to their relative im- portance. No distinction, however, has been made between any of the industries or plants within any one class and it was explained that no significance is to be attached to the order in which they arc listed within any class. The indus tries or plants under Class are of ex- ceptional importance and include those most vital to the prosecution of the war, and the public and it's requirements must be fully met in preference to those Of the three remaining classes.
 Fuel for, domestic consumption-resi- dences, apartment houses, restaurants and hotels-is in Class l. In that class also are food, railways operated by the railroad administration, the army and navy, aircraft, ships and shipyards, war chemical plants, coal mines and by product Coke plants, certain public util- ities, ordnance and small arms plants and intuition and explosives
 Requirements of those grouped under Classes 2 3 and will be given prior ity over those not on the preference list, bu. as between these three classes, there is no complete or absolute preferenc pro- vided. Relative importance of the in- dustries and plants within each group will be the basis of operation.
 Each plant listed in the three last classes will be required to file with the war industries board before the 18th of each month report of it's activities dur- inS the preceding month. Failure to com ply with this order will mean removal fir pm the preference list.
