He MAKES APPEAL TO
GERMANS OVER HERE
Abandoned by Allies, Army Could No
Longer Wage War, Says Chan
cellor Macmillan.

Just before Prince Macmillan of
Baden offered his resignation as i'm
perial chancellor he issued an appeal
ito Germans abroad" in which he
said:
In these difficult days the hearts
of many among you, my fellow coun-
trymen, who, outside the frontier of
the German fatherland. are esurround-
ed by manifestations of malicious joy
and hatred, will be heavy. Do not de-
spair of the German people.
Our soldiers have fought to the
last moment as heroically as any
army has ever done. The homeland
has shown unprecedented strength in
suffering and endurance.
I'm the fifth year, abandoned by
its allies, the German people could
no longer wage war against the in
creasingly superior forces. The vic
tory for which many had hoped has
not been granted to us. But the Ger
man people has won this still greater
victory over itself and its belief in
the right of might.
From this victory we shall draw
new strength for the hard time which
faces US and on which you also can
build"

THE MARKING GRAVES
ON FOREIGN BATTLEFIELD
is HEROIC TASK

Announcement from France that all
American dead are to be returned to
this country for permanent burial,
adds interest to the story of how the
graves of these heroes are marked and
recorded. This work is done by the
Grave Registration Service, which is
cooperating with the Red Cross in
photographing graves and, when prac-
ticable, in distributing these photo
graphs to the families and relatives Of
the dead
The Graves Registration Service is
a unit of the quatrermaster corps, I'M

Charles c. Pierce. Colonel Pierce is a
retired chaplain, a major of the reg
ular army, and was rector of an Epis-
copal church in Philadelphia when the
present war began. As he had been in
charge of similar work in the Philip
pines, he volunteered for this impor-
tant task upon the organization of the
Graves Registration Service. He has
been awarded promotion for his zeal

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 kaisers de-
mands that both were raised to sec
and place among the nations. 1t
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 place in the sum- the
kaiser became known as the war
lord.
Followed Bismarks 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 a population of
$4,000 900 to 1000, 900 and to a place
in the commercial world surprising
in some lines even Great Britain, his
influence and power increased.
The kaiser was born January 81,
1869. In saving his mothers life when
he was born the main nerves of his
left arm were so strained that the
arm became shriveled and has hung
useless ever since. Since childhood
he has had to use a specially made
fork with a heavy edge that served
as knife as well.
Why He Hated Her.
One reason for his well-known
dislike for his mother, who was a
daughter of Queen Victoria of Eng
land, was laid to this operation, which
resulted in the loss of the use of
his left arm.
The kaiser was the ninth monarch
of the house of Hohenzollern. He
was the third Of that family to guide
the. destinies of the German empire.
He married Princess Augusta Victoria,
daughter of the duke of Augusten-
burg, in 1881. He was crowned king
of Prussia and emperor of Germany
June 5, 1888.
The crown prince, Friedrich Will
helm, was born May 6, 1892 He was
married in 1905 to Duchess Cecile of
Mecl0lenburg- Schwerin.
The crown prince aspired to be-
come one of the great military lead
ers of history. His efforts were all
dismal failures. he being charged
particularly with the bloody and
fruitless effort to reduce the Verdun
fortress and the failure of the series
of German offensives which began in
March this year.

Destroyers and coast guard boats

OF RATS which may be afloat with the

that the men on duty in the Saetia' $
engine room were killed by one of

The explosions which followed the
first, it is believed, were the boilers.
The Saetia left it's convoy return

was bound for Philadelphia. Just %
miles off this place she ran into the
mine. Before the ship could back, the
first explosion threw half of the crew

Captain Lynch Immediately ordered
"all hands on deck" but before life
boats could be lowered the cold water

Although it had been rumored that
the Seatia had been torpedoed, naval
authorities here scout the idea. The
stories related by the crew also
tended to disprove it.

William Hohenzollern, German en-

cided to renounce the throne
2 This declaration is made-in a de-
cree issued at Berlin by the German
imperial chancellor, Prince Max of
Baden. The German crown prince
will also renounce the throne and a
regency will be set up.
Prince Max will remain in office
until matters connected with the abdi-
cation of the emperor are settled, and
Friedrich Ebert, vice president of
the social democratic party, will re-
place him as chancellor during the
regency.
Country Virtually Ruined.
Thirty years. and almost five
months after he assembled the imper-
ial throne William Hohenzollern, his
armies defeated in the field forced
to sue for armistice terms and the
German people rising in revolt, gives
up his power. He came into authority
with the country at the threshold of
an era of peace and material pro-
gress; he leaves it torn by revolu-
ton and suffering from the hard
ships and sacrifices of more than four
years of war-yirtually ruined

William Hohenzollern, all the heads
of the governments of the central
powers when they entered the war
have died or lost their thrones. EN-
peror Francis Joseph and the sui
tan of Turkey died before their coun-
tries agreed to allied armistice terms,

CONSUMPTION of wealth for the financ-
ing of the war and the liquidation of
the national debt, and state owner
ship of all land. North Dakota was to
underwrite the kingdom of heaven.
But as all socialist schemes that
loom so promising on paper, no pro-
vision was made for the weather,
which is the basis of. all wealth, be-
cause agriculture cannot flourish with
out its smiles. Unfavorable weather
means short crops, and short crops
mean financial stringency, and North
Dakota being largely agricultural,
there were prospects of losses as we'll
as profits in these various undertake
ings. Governor Frazier, the Leagues
governor, has done his best to legis-
late on the weather by recommending
that any bank which loans a farmer
money for seed and feed should help
stand his loss in bad season, though
not sharing in his profits in a good
season. But since the banks only
handle other peoples money, includ-
ing the farmers money, the benevo-
lent governor could only pass the buck
from the farmer to the bank, with
the certainty that it would come back
to the farmer from the bank in due
time. Even your most promising So
cialist country cannot distribute more
wealth than it produces, though COM
paratively few socialists have found
that out yet. That is why Mr.. Roose-
welt, who will rank very we'll in intel
ligence with any of our most promis-
ing socialists, warned the country in
his recent Saratoga speech to use gov
eminent ownership as sparingly as
possible.
Nor did the socialist constitution of
North Dakota provide for any of the
imperfections of human nature and
human institutions which beset So
cialist state as we'll as any other kind.
There were, for fact, many flies in
the North Dakota ointment, and the
North Dakotans presently began to
see them.-Black and White.

The latest edition of socialism in
the United States is the get of the
Non-P Partisan League of North Dako-
ia. This league was born of a revolt
among the farmers of that state in
1915 because the legislature had fall
ed to adopt plans approved by large
majority of the voters for the public
ownership of terminal grain elevators.
Beginning with this comparatively
modest reform it proceeded to write
state constitution that Lenine and
Trotsky could not excel. This con-
stitution was introduced in the legis-
iature of 1917 by a farmer who can
didly admitted that he did not know
what was in it. 1t affirmed "the right
Of the state, or any political subdivis-
on thereof, to engage in any occupa-
ton or business for public purposes"
It paved the way not only for the
state ownership of grain elevators,
but of banks, all kinds of insurance
packing plants, cold storage ware
houses, flour mills, stock yards, pub
tic, utilities, and anything and every
thing included in the Leagues social
istic propaganda. And that propa-
ganda, as indicated by utterances of
the Leagues official spokesman and
papers, includes so far state aid and
control Of marketing facilities for
farmers, cooperative buying and dis
tribution, manufacture and sale of
agricultural implements by the state,
