RUMOR THAT COBB COUNTY

A runor was in circulation this
week that Harmon Thomas, Of Ken

in July. A message from his father
in Anniston, to his sister Mrs. Hipps,
here, on Wednesday, says that the
war department claims that there was
no basis for the rumor so far as they
can learn.
We, therefore, trust the rumor
was unfounded.

Without going deeply into her his

when the kaiser married her, In 1881,
she was the Princess Victoria Of
Schleswig-H ii lstein-S onderburg Angus

her husband. She commanded no par.

When the kaiser's ambitious project
to dominate the world is considered,
his consistent opposition to the univer-
sal disarmament proposals is easily
understood. Without a superior army
and navy, his whole plan would have
to be abandoned and his dream of
worldwide dominion would be shat.

On n occasion when we were dis.
cussing the Carnegie peace efforts,
the kaiser disclosed very positively

Shortly after Wilson had pointed the

notes to all the b%elligerent powers the
kaiser called to see mi professionally
and we discussed that latest phase OF
the situation.
"The way to peace now seems per
fectly clear" I ventured. "Only your

navy stands in the way. If Germany
will give up her armament. 1t seems
we would 500 have peace"

The kaIsers Appraisal Of Public Men.
No one eve speaks to the kaiser un-
til addressed. As that monarch's opin-
ions on most subjects are firmly fixed
and he will stand NJ opposition, any
n idea he may entertain is
very apt to remain with him. His I'D
visers were apt to leave him In error
rather than Gus his ire by attempt
ing to set him right. But for the fact
that he was very fond Of asking innu-
merable questions, his store Of infor-
nation might have been extremely
scanty.
In the our Of my conversations
with him he frequently expressed his
views of men who were in the public
eye.l Upon what basis they we're
founded he did not always enlighten
me, but even when / knew them to be
erroneous I realized 1t was useless to
try to change them and l did not often
take issue with him. When I did his
eyes would fash fire, but I had ex-
pected that and I continued just the
same.
The kaiser always seemed to take
d particular interest In American af.
fairs, ard while he p~rofessed to de.
spise our form of government he
watched very carefully the careers OF
our public men. It Il not unlikely that
he imagined, as ] have pointed out
elsewhere In these pages. that he could
influence nj elections by swinging
the German-American vote In favor OF
the candidate he preferred. and he
made a study Of our public men in
order that he might know which OF
them would be more desirable In Office
from the German viewpoint.

end Of July, 1918. The causes Of the
high price were as follows:
1. Decrease in supply.
(a) Decrease in crop-Principally
due to the weather, the yield Of
Japanese rice amounted to only
272,000,000 bushels in 1917, de-
crease of 100000 bushels, COM
pared to the preceding year.
(b) Lack Of tonnage-Owing to the
world wide deficiency in tonnage it
became difficult to import foreign
rice and the freight rates increased
extraordinarily.
2. Increase in consumption Of rice.
(a) Substitution for wheat and bar
ley-Because of the great increase
in the demand for wheat and bar
ley from the Allied countries their
export from Japan greatly in
creased and prices advanced rap
idly. so that the poor people who
used this kind of grain began to
eat more rice than before.
(b) Increase Of income-As the wages
Of the laborers who are working in
the industries which we're favored
with great profit by the war--for
example, the shipbuilding indus
try-increased, many of these la
borers began to eat Japanese rice
instead of the imported.
Co Substitution for foreign rice
AS a result of the decrease in
supply Of foreign rice the con-
sumption of Japanese rice was
greatly increased.
3. Initiation of currency.
Owing to the imitation Of currency,
which was caused by the favorable
balance Of trade since the war be-
gan, the prices Of commodities
have generally increased.
4. Speculation.
(a) Speculation made by rice brokers.
(b)Hoarding of rice by farmers.
Relief given by the government:
1. Before the riot.
(a) Export prohibition Of rice.
(b) Restriction of speculations.
(c) Import and distribution Of for
eign rice.
(d) Reduction Of currency.
2. After the riot.
(a) Granting Of 100000 yen by the
Emperor.
(b) Cheaper sale Of foreign rice.
(c) Compulsory purchase of Japa-
nese rice to the extent of 100000
900 yen.

In spite of the advices that showers
were breaking the drouth, it was not
believed that the rain had come in

Of August condition figures. Yet the
traders seemed to feel that Fridays
rise had more than sufficiently dis
counted the forthcoming condition

not be maintained in face of reports of
better weather conditions. Selling be-

The opening ws quiet. Although
the early weather-m showed good
rains, the initial offerings were quickly
taken up by renewed Liverpool buying

market was weaker after the publica-

the detailed weather report. October
sold off to 33.05 and January to $3.50,
and the market closed at the lowest
point Of the day.
Although local traders were doubtful
about the effect the rain, SO long de-
layed, would have on the crop, Texas
planters who we're in the city expressed
the opinion that the rains would be
most beneficial and would increase the
crop with normal frost date. Local
observers, at any rate, believed that
the deterioration had been checked, and
reports reached the ring that South
