to dispatch to the daily Ex-
press. An Amsterdam express
says the former German empress
is i'll at POtsdam, and that. the
former German crown princess is
at her bedside.
ENTRY is VICTORIOUS.
Amsterdam, Nov. IA great
mystery still is being made Of the
destination in Holland of Wilhelm
HOhenzollern, former emperor of
Germany. Three separate coun-
try seats now are named as his
abode. The former emperor made
an inglorious entry into Holland,
At 10 o'clock Sunday morning ten
automobiles driven by former
Prussian officers were seen enter
ing Holland through the fog. The
erstwhile martial figure of the
former emperor was huddled and
bent over walking stick, while.
the former war lord stared
straight ahead. Dutch cyclists
and military police formed a cord
on about the party. Crowds of
Belgian refugees assembled about
the party crying ":Assassin."
When the train arrived at the
station, William Hohenzollern
entered and changed to civilian
clothes. Plans for the reception of
the former emperor. were made by
the aid de camp of Queen Wilhel-
nina. who went to German head,
quarters last week. n

sible notice, and stayed until
they were no longer needed,
1t was probably in the coun
try districts that the people
were hardest hit, because of the
scarcity Of doctors and the inn
possibility of securing nurses,
and here the agents were a
Godsend TO their people. II is
no exnggeration to say that the
death rate would have been
much higher but for the work
of the agents. Certainly the

a few days later tall, grim-look-

where the conscientious obJector could
be found. He was directed to the
casual detachment, and there intro
duccd himself to the commanding Of

talk with him. The permission was
granted, and he went tn his brothers

Farm Home and Demonstra-
ton Agents Fought the
FLU"

OioSNooua III o't A'o'. ~.
When the Spanish influenza be-
gan its devastating sweep
through Virginia tho $50 farm
and home demonstration agents
IN Virginia resolved themselves
into a relief corps and went
bravely forth to do battle with
tho enemy. Even before the
director sent out his message
from headquarters at Blacks
burg "serve your people to tho
best of your ability in the pres.
ent epidemic" the agents had
begun n work of mercy that has
meant much to sorely stricken
people.
These agents, men and wo
men, white and colored, well
coined the chance to show that
their work for the betterment
of conditions on the fGIms and
in the homes of the people of
Virginia was not confined to
the field or the kitchen but was
far wider than that. Without
delay and without any possible
hope of receiving pay for their
work, they hurried to the res
cue. Some of them travelled day
and night through their coun-
ties, regardless of the danger to
their own lives from the disease
carrying with them food and
medicine and acting often rs
doctor, cook and nurse in some
family whore every member
was ill.
From all over the state re-
ports are coming in TO the cen
trail Office as to the work these
agents have done and not half
will ever be known. In many
an humble cabin, far up on Il |
mountain i'll tho more remote
sections of Virginia, whole fam
lilies lay i'll when the agent
found them. TO reach just
such n family, of whom
ne h n d II card by chance,
one young w % q n agent
left her car at the foot OF
the mountain and walked four
miles TO the home, carrying a |
basket laden with food and
such medicine as she could Sc
cure in the village where she
has her office.
When diet kitchens were
opened up in the cities and
large towns of the state, the
resident agents were called upon
in a number OF instances TO
take charge, and when the
emergency hospitals were
established the agents near by
at once volunteered their ser
vices as nurses, which were
gladly accepted. There are not
many home demonstration
agents in the southwest and
when these kitchens and hos
pitfalls We're opened there it be.
came necessary for the agents

feat is unavoidable.

The council says that recognition
of Lithuania as an independent state
at the peace table OF Europe will
relieve Germany OF any responsibility
as her protector. Germany's strict
noninterference in the work of re-
constructing Lithuania will be more
appreciated than any suggestions en-
