KAISER CLAIMS FROGS AS ALLY

AMSTERDAM.- Karl Rosner, a
newspaper correspondent, frequently
termed the German Emperor's press
agent, describes in the Lokal An
zeiger conversation which he says
took place between the Emperor and
the Crown Prince, in which the son
told his father the story of "the frogs
of the battle of Chemin des Danes"
The story was told, says Rosener, as
the father and son stood on hill
in the battle sector of the army
group Of General Won Francois on
June 8. The crown prince said: ut
was when the Germans were prepar-
ing to storm Chemin des Danes, that
frogs which were found in millions
in the marshy Ailette region, croaked
in such deafening fashion that they
enabled the Germans to bring up
their battries and ammunition COL
umns without discovery and when
the attack was actually launched the
concert Of frogs prevented
the enemy from discovering the posi-
tions Of the erman machine guns.

HOUSING IN WASHINGTON

WASHINGTON, D. c. July IS
1918.-The United States civil ser
vice commission announces that il
is now in position to state defiitely
to the public that steps will be taken
at once to relieve the congested liv.
ing conditions in Washington, which
have been an obstacle in the way Of
recruiting the civil service to meet
war needs. The commission is ad-
vised by the department of labor that
the erection of temporary hotels and
restaurants, to be conducted under
government supervision for the use
of federal employees in Washington,
will begin at once.
1t is expected that the first units
will be ready for occupancy early
in September. Accomdations will
first be provided for approximately
5000 persons. Additional accomda-
lions will be provided as they are
needed. Each room will be arranged
for the occupancy of but one person.
In the meantime, the room registra-
ton office, which is conducted by the
District of Columbia council of de-
Tense under the auspices of the coun-
Gil of national defense, is able to pro-
vide rooming and boarding accomda-
lions for the new appointees. At the
latest report the room registration
office had on its lists more than
5000 which had been inspected and
found available for government en-
ployees.
Those who arrive on late trains
may find accommodations for the
night by applying at the booth of the
district council of defense, which is
prominently situated in the Union
station, where all trains arrive.

The American whirled and fixed
his bayonet.
'No, Yank, no." the Australian
shouted. 1.-THE blighters are trying

Battles Calamity and Grimley
So the allied pair continued on
their adventurous journey, and the
story of the early moments of their
fighting was the same as that at
the end. They fought CALAMITY and
grimly, side by side; they killed and
they also took prisoners, and al
ways the American boy did his share
of the bitter work. 1t was his first
journey into the land of death, but
he did not finch. They reached
their objective mile and a half
from the starting point, and on their
right and left their comrades were
holding positions which they, too,
had torn from the enemy.
This is where we rest" the Aus
tralian asserted as he wiped the
sweat from his brow and leaned
against the breastwork.
"But why?" the American de-
manded. Why don't we continue
We could get ahead easily now.

Australian replied as he stared

Haig told me, personally, yesterday
that he wanted me to stay right here.
Me and Haig had quite a talk about

BIG GRAIN CROP SURE
FOR UNITED STATES
Reports Received at Chicago
Indicate Abundant Yield of
Wheat in the Middle West,
Far West and Canada.

CHlCAGO.-Despite scattered re-
ports of light yields and fears of la
Dor shortage it was believed July
10 its 1918 wheat crop is sufficient
to cause apprehension in Berlin.
From the middle west came reports
that half the wheat has been cut.
A record Kansas farm boasts yield
of forty-nine bushels to the acre and
the states per acre average, it is
claimed will be between twenty and
twenty-eight bushels, Nebraska, split
in half by the Platte river has fin
ished the harvest on the south side.
The grain is just beginning to top
pie before the sickle in the northern
half. The Ne braska yield is uneven,
top being thirty-five bushels.
The northwestern wheat states re-
port crop conditions good. If there
is shortage it will be labor, not
wheat. Over the line in Canada
there had been fear of a short crop
due to lack of rain. Now Manitoba
and Saskatchewan expect the best
crop in three years.
Canadian Crop
The western Canadian contribu-
tion to the victory CROP is esti-
mated at 275,0O0,000 bushels. The
car shortage of last year is not ex-
pected to be repeated this year.
Grain cars numbering 1000 are being
held at sidings in the grain belt
ready to begin movement when
threshing is completed.
Thirty per cent of the winter
wheat crop has been harvested in
Iowa with an average yield Of 1926 |
bushels per acre. Slow and uneven
ripening is blamed for the compare
lively light yield.
Harvesting of oats in Iowa will
begin next week, with estimates of
IN average per acre yield of twenty
bushels. Corn in Iowa is three weeks
ahead of recent years and already is
'tasseled" in some sections of the

Kaiserin Kept Informed.

In the course Of my work on the en-
press I frequently had to stop while
she perused a telegram or message that
had been brought in to her. While, of
course, made no effort to pry into the
communications she was reading, she
usually held them in such manner
that it would have been difficult for me
to have done SO had so desired. but
I could not help noticing part Of the
contents OF one of the kilograms.
1t was from Won Gontard, the ad3u-

empress was being kept informed Of
all Developments in the military situa-
ton.
The lsaiserin spent good deal Of time
in the military hospitals and sometimes
spoke Of the horrors Of war. but never
discussed any Of the political phases Of
the conflict. She asked many questions

The Kaiaerin.

Although I had frequently seen tho
kaiserin in the company Of the kaiser.
I. did not actually meet her until she
became my patient. in 1912, from
which time on she visited me more
or less regularly.
Because Of tho influence tho en-
press may possibly exert on tho
kaisers views. 1t may not be out of
place to record here some Of the
Impressions was able, to form of
her in the course Of my relations
with her. although I do not believe
her opinions carried very much
weight with tho kaiser. I always
felt that she was bitterly opposed to
the war. and II that were. indeed. the
case. she must have masked her feel
ings very enectually to preserve har-
mony In the royal household.
Without going deeply into her his
tory. it may be sufficient to recall
that when the kaiser married her. in
1851. she was the Princess Victoria
of Schleswig Holstein Sonderburg-
Augustenberg. She was q year older
than her husband. She commanded
no particular wealth and was not
as prepossessing then, perhaps. as
she became when. some years later,
her hair turned white and softened
her rather large features and too
highly colored complexion.

Kaiserin Seemed Happier.

All the time I was at Homburg .he'
kaiser was at the adjoining town Of
Kreuznach. and 50 had no opportu-
nifty of G 'rving the two Of them to-
gether -lls occasion. It did occur
to me, how ever. that the empress look
ed better and happier than had ever
seen her before the war, and I at
trfbuted the Improvement in her gen.
era1 condition to the fact that the
kaiser now seemed to depend upon
her more han he ever did before.
No doubt the kaiser had always
shown respect for his royal partner.
He had had a statue Of her erected
In the Tiergarten. some Of the beauti-
ful trees having been cut down to
make room for the rose garden in
the center of which the statue was
placed. The kaiserin was portrayed
in the prevailing style of the time,
and as fashions changed. her attire
became more and more out of date
and looked more or less ludicrous to
the public.
I never believed, however, that
there was any particular affection be-
tween them. and the empress always
impressed me as deriving her great.
est happiness in looking after her
homes, her children and her grand
children. The papers constantly re-
ferred to the activities of the en-
press in visiting hospitals, children's
homes and homes for the blind, to
which she frequently made donations.
and have often thought that IL the
war had depended upon her sanction
1t would never have taken place.

Politics and Eugenics.

1t was said that tho marriage was
arranged not only to conciliate the
province of SchleswiG-Holstein. which
had been flched from Denmark in
1864 and was hardly more satisfied
with the enforced transfer OF al
legiance than Alsace-Lorraine was IN
her separation from France. but. more
particularly. to improve the Hohen-
zollern strain.
It was a marriage Of state And
eugenics combined. The kaiser's
father had died of cancer of the
throat and 1t was considered Of pri:
mary state importance that the royal
blood should not be impoverished by
any ill-advised alliance of the future
emperor.

Sure Way To Get <.
 Rid Of Dandruff

There is one sure way that never fails to remove dandruff completely and that is to dissolve it. This destroys it en- tirely. To do this, just get about four ounces of plain, ordinary liquid arvon; i; apply it at night when retiring; use enough to moisten the scalp and rub it in gently with the finger tips.
 By morning. most if not all, of your dandruff will be gone, and three or four more applications will completely dis solve and entirely destroy every single sign and trace of it, no matter how much dandruff you may have.
 You will find, too, that all itching and digging of the scalp will stop instantly. and your hair will be fluffy. lustrous. glossy, silky and soft, and look and teel a hundred times better.
 You can get liquid arvon at any drug store. It is inexpensive, and four ounces is all you will need. This simple remedy has never been known to fail

definiteness and the satisfactory char acter of the guarantees which can be given in this fundamental matter. it is indispensable that the gov ernments associated against Germany should know beyond peradventure with whom they are dealing" This pronouncement the presidents friends say fulfills the predictions Of those who declared that when he ask ed Prince Maximilian if he merely represented the military leaders who had been conducting the war, he was laying the foundation to show that the new government of Germany is no less autocratic than the others and for q final statement to the Ger man people themselves that nothing but their autocratic government stands between them and the peace which they so fervently desire.
 This, the Presidents friends say. has been the whole theory of his diplomacy
 \ Necessary Guarantee.
 When the President decided to say that if an armistice should be thought of, it could not be considered with out imposing terms to guarantee the good faith of Germany and provide for the maintenance if military su prcmacy of the armies of the United States and the entente allies. he un- doubtedly knew what the allies war council, actin gon the recommenda- tions of Marshal Foch had decided npcn as necessary guarantees.
 These now are understood to in- clude the occupation of Metz and Strassburg, and Coblenz, the strate gis keys to Germany.
 Next Move in Germany.
 The next move in the great inter- national drama is now expected to take place in Germany, while the armies of the o-belligerents thund- CT at her gates.
 Diplomatists are agreed that what must come from Germany now is ac- tion not words.
 She may offer to comply with, the terms and give up the guarantees, which would permit an armistice. \ From that point the disposition of the autocracy might be considered in connectcion with the terms of peace.
 Otherwise, the opinion is unani- nous that the victorious armies of the United States and the entente allies must march on.
 Other Belligerents to Wait.
 Although Germany is informed that separate reply will be made to the peace note of the Austro- Hungarian government, it is known that for the present no communication will be sent to either Austria-Hungary or 10 Turkey, whose belated plea similar to that of her allies, reached the State Department today.
 Replies to Germany's vassal allies will wait the next move in Berlin, unless that move is anticipated by new plea and offer of surrender from Vienna or Constantinople, or both.
