SAW THE KAISER FILM, CHANG

Instances of the unconscious in.
f1uence of the wonderful seven-reel
patriotic photoplay, "The Kaiser, the
Beast of Berlin" which comes to the
Alamo and the Paris Grand on Tues
day afternoon and evening, Aug. q,
are constantly growing. Here is an
instance where a manufacturer was
so impressed with the picture that he
stuck the knife deep into the German
sounding name of his frm,
M. Wicker, senior member of the
firm OF Wicker & Company, proprie-
tors Of the Berlin Chemical Cleaning
and Dyeing Company of Kansas City,
was present in Convention Hall dur
ing the remarkable showing Of "The
Kaiser, the Beast of Berlin" in con-
nection with the tremendously sue
cessful Liberty Loan drive. The next
morning he went down to court and
petitioned to have the name of his
business changed to Midwest Clean
ers and. Dyers. :.
Il had been thinking of chang
ing the name for a long time," he
said. 81 came from Russia, as did
my partner, and we thoroughly dis
like the Germans. We don't want
to have anything to remind us of
the Beast Of Berlin, and for that
reason we are changing the name
of our establishment at East Tenth
street.
Every American should see this
picture which 1 saw last night. It
would make every one more deter

A SOLEMN WARNING.

The number of unskilled automo-

of late should be a token and a sign
TO all others who know little or moth

all learn to drive, and especially
should they learn how to handle their
machines in the proximity of railroad
crossings. The toll taken of igno-
rance of late has been terrible. This

HAIL HURTING TOBACCO.

Those Bourbon county growers
who have hail insurance on their
tobacco are proving more fortunate
than those in many other sections of

destroyed over five hundred acres of

large as partridge eggs fell, stripping
MANY fields of tobacco from the stalks
and damaging corn and peas.

TOTAL OF AMERICAN
CASUALTIES IS $685.

Washington. - Seven hundred and
seventy casualties reported among the
American expeditionary forces during
the past week brought the total since
American troops first landed In
France nearly year ago to S0S5.
The second weekly summary issued
by the war department shows the total
deaths are Sl9S. while 4547 men have
been wounded in action and S46 are
missing in action, including all men
held prisoners in Germany,
With more than 100000 soldiers sent
overseas, officials pointed to the small
number. 291, lost through operations
of German submarines as showing the
effectiveness of the convoy system.
The comparatively small number OF
men dying from wounds is pointed to
as indicating the efficiency of the am
bulance and hospital systems, while
the fact that only 1884 men have died
of disease is accepted as proof of the
excellent physical condition of Amer
ica's fighting men.
Another satisfying consideration is
that of the wounded men a very high
percentage return to duty at the front
in less than six weeks,

THE PRESIDENT WAS TACTLESS

In his address TO congress the presi-
dent pointed with pride, and properly
so, to the fact that we had trans
ported over two million men to France
with but a negligible proportion of
loss. He neglected to state that two
thirds of the men were carried in
British ships and that one-half of the
conveying flotillas were British YES
sells. But he was careful to state that
of the 1853 men lost $50 "were upon a
single English transport" Just why
should Mr. Wilson have failed to men,
ton nationality when alluding to sue
cess, while he called attention to it
when describing the single failure ?
The effect of his tactless words on the
approaching peace conference can be
imagined.
