Kaiser's
Life Story

Throughout his reign of quarter
of a century the kaiser had but one
ambition--to "Teutonize the world"
He subordinated everything else with
in his ambitions
In 1871 Germany had no navy or
merchant marine.
1t was through the kaiser's de-
mands that both were raised to Sec
and place among the nations. It
was the same with the German ar
my. The vast German. military ma
chine was actually the child OF the
kaiser's ambition.
Because he taught and practiced
the theory that only through military
and naval supremacy could Germany
arrive at a place in the sum- the
kaiser became known as the war
lord.
Followed eismark's Teachings.
= Although he forced out Bismark,
the iron chancellor the emperor
followed Busmark's teaching that only
by the mailed fist" could Germany
live and grow. His oft-repeated in
sistence he ruled by divine right
aided him in carrying out his policies
1t tended to make his subjects, both
high and low, more subservient to his
demands and whims. AS the German
empire grew from population Of
47,000, 900 to 100000 and to a place
~, hn iol c{v,o
in some lines even Great Britain, his
influence and power increased.
The kaiser was born January 81
1863. In saving his mothers life wher
he was born the main nerves of his
left arm we're so strained that TIN
arm became shrivcled and has huns
useless ever since. Since CHILDHOOD
he has had to use a specially made
fork with heavy edge that servet
as knife as we'll.
Why He Hated a4er.
One reason for his well-kn6wl
dislike for his mother. who was ,
daughter OF Queen Victoria of Eng
land, was laid to this operation, whicl
resulted in the loss of the use O
his left arm.
The kaiser was the ninth monarch
of the house of Hohenzollern. IL
was the third of that family to guild
the destinies of the German empire
He married Princess Augusta Victoris
daughter of the duke of Auguster
burg, in 1881. He was crowned kin
of Prussia and emperor of German
June s., 1888.
The crown prince, Friedrich Wi
helm, was born May 6, 1882. He wa
married in 1905 to Duchess Cecile 9
Mecklenburg-S chwerin.
| The crown prince aspired to b.
come one OF the great military leat
ers of history. His efforts were a
dismal failures, he being charge
particularly with the bloody an
fruitless effort to reduce the Verdi

German Famine Is Sham,
Says Official Telegram
French Quote Teuton Papers
TO Prove Last Harvest
Was Abundant
Tribune Washinqton Bureo,

>O'N'NN - WV
WASHINGTON, Dec. 2.-An official
French telegram to-day states that the
famine" in Germany is q sham and
that, according to German official as
we'll as press statements, there are
sufficient foodstuffs in the empire to
carry it through the winter.
During 1917 Germany, the dispatch
says, was revictualled from a crop in
ferior to the average, buH the last har-
vest was abundant. Before the armis-
tce the Germans declared their food
sufficiency, and their effort since the
signing Of the armistice to make it
appear that the nation faces starvation
was undertaken, the telegram asserts,
"to move the universe to pity
The Imperial Chancellor declared be-
fore the signing of the armistice that
Germany was able to overcome food
difficulties and to defeat the attempts
her into submission. On September 90
the Cologne "Gazette" declared: "The
situation shows itself more favorable
than it was at this time last year.
The Munich "Abend Zeitung'' said on
October ~: "The crop Of barley and
oats is estimated to be 10000 900 tons,
at least, which will allow the daily
bread ration to be increased to 500
grammes, which is more than the aver
age per head consumption"
The Cologne "Gazette" stated on
November 16: "The sugar output,
100000 tons, greatly exceeds the
needs of peace times, 100000 tons.
There are plenty of potatoes. At the
end of September Herr Won Waldow
spoke of raising the weekly ration to
nine pounds

tion and the introduction, perhaps, of
a regional grouping of the railways.
AS for general readjustment of bust
ness and industry, the President took
the position that TIE remarkable initia-
tive OF the American business man
would deal with the problem in a
prompt and satisfactory manner and
that business would resent any pater-
nalistic policy of attempted govern
mental direction Of its plans and poll
cies In conformation of the new era.
Reconstruction Policy
About all that the governme nt could
or should do, the President holds, is
to place at the disposal of business the
knowledge and experience the various
war administrations have acquired.
The three weeks that have elapsed since
the armistice was signed justify this
policy, he thinks. He finds that the
oelerity with which business moves to
its new duties and functions promises
to outrun any inquiry that may be in
StiIuICO anu any dlu LildJ may De OF
fered it. 1t will not be easy to direct
it any better than it will direct itself"
This statement disposes so far as
executive initiative is concerned of all
, schemes for reconstruction commis-
sions which will seek to impose a new
and artificial system or American busi-
ness Anything that may develop in
that line will now have to originate
with Congress. If there be a recon
struction problem the President has
passed it to Congress. He appears to
hold that it is not the United States
but the world that is in need of recon
struction.
Only in one respect does the Presi-
dent hold that the government should
DO anything to hasten industrial stabil-
lty, and that is in respect to unemploy-
ment of labor, which he appears to
think is inevitable in some degree for
the unskilled men of the army 1t is
noticeable that the President is speak
ing of unemployment problems arising
from the displacement of war workers.
The only problem he mentions is
that Of the returning soldier who was
IN civil life an unskilled iaborer For
this returning soldier, who knows not
whittier to go or what to do, the Presi-
dent urges the resumption of public
works and the development of our un-
used lands and idle natural resources.
In the relation hn devotes especial
attention to Secretary Lanes plans for
reclamation of arid. swamp and cut
over lands. The reclamation of those
lands, some 300,000,00O acres in ex-
tent, would effect great rural and
agricultural DEVELOPMENT which will
afford the best sort of opportunity to
men who want to help themselves
The only continued regulation of
trade that the President recommends
relates to foreign reconstruction to
the rehabilitation of Northern France
and Belgium. Tor which purpose he
asks Congress to grant to some such
agency as the War Trade Board, it it
should become necessary, the right to
establish priorities of export and sup
ply, in favor "of these people whom
we have been so happy to assist in
saving from the German terror and
whom we must not tn oughtlessly
leave to shift for themselves in a pitt
less competitive market"
