THE KAIsERs DREAM

THE KAlsEWs DREAM
There's o rumor now current. though
strange It may seem.
or tho German Emperor's wonderful
dream.
Being tired OF the war, he lay down
on his bed,
And among other things he dreamed
he was dead.
In a deep coffin, lying in state.
with his cold waxen figure frozen In
hate. O.
Iie wasn't dead long. when he found
to his cost.
His map OF the next world and pass
port were lost.
So leaving the earth. he to heaven
went straight.
Jauntlly struttlng right up to the
gate;
But tho Lookout angel In a voice
strong and clear,
Said "Begone Kaiser wilhelm. we
don't want you here. "
well" thought wilhelm, that's
very unclyll.
Docs no mean that I must 20 straight
10 the devil"
So he turned on his heel and on he
did go.
Running full speed to the regions
below.
But when he got there he was filled
with dlsmay.
For whilst waiting outside he heard
Satan say,
Look here boys I give you fair
warning.
| am expecting the Kaiser down here
In the morning.
but don't let him In. for to me II is
clear.
That we are far too good for such a
devil down here.
II he gets In therell be the dickens
to pay
For bad as am, he's much worse
every day"
"oh Satan. dear friend" the EN-
peror cried
Excuse me for listening, while walt.
ing outside,
II you don't let me In, then where
shall go7"
Indeed" said ho'dovll. 81 really
don't know
"oh do let me In; am really quite
cold;
II It is money you want, I've plenty
OF gold;
Just give me a corner, no matter how
hot"
no" interrupted the devil. you
was a partner NIT Colt.
We don't let apartments for riches
or pelf
Here's some sulphur matches, 80
make hell for yourself"
Thcn he kicked wilhelm out and
vanished In smoke
But Just at that moment the Kaiser
awoke.
He jumped out OF bed In shlverlng
sweat;
And crled. "Iilmmel. that dream |
shall never forget;
That won't go 10 Heaven. know

But It's mighty tough luck to be

pilot was picked up who took us

.We learned then from the COM

came aboard us, that there had been
three subs waiting for us. They had
fired three torpedoes at short range.
but just as the fracas started we had
been signaled to turn sharp and beat

RUMOR is INTERNED FOR
THE DURATION OF WAR

to rumors set afloat that the govern
ton.
The effort being made to stop ru-
NOR spreading Is new and has never
been done before. II has been ef-
fective to a degree. although 1t did
not prevent the fotation of rumor
that the German crown prince and
10000 men had been captured by the
allies. This rumor started the rounds
shortly after the opening of the stock
market and later when II came back
to the exchange the total bag Of Teu-
tons had reached $4,000. -
Curiously enough during the recent
visitation Of German submarines to
these shores the rumor factory was
comparatively idle. the only story
emanating from that quarter being a
rumor that six German submarines
were lying to off Atlantic City get
ting ready to lombard the resort.
Since the various exchanges banned
the dissemination of rumors their
point Of origin has been carefully con-
cealed so that II Is next to impossi-
BILE nowadays to run them down at
their source.
Curb on Wild Stories.
The German kaiser. who must
yield the palm only 10 the crown
prince In the number OF times he has
been killed in this war, has been killed
on the stock exchange time and time
again since 1914. On other occasions
he has died natural death from
strange malady. There was time
when the death of the kaiser meant
to Wall street the end Of the war so
that rumors of this character were
often put out with view to influence
ing the course of market prices. But
since the exchange banned rumor-
mongering the kaiser has not been
skilled" once In the financial district.
In the markets of 1915 and 1916 re-.
ports of war orders placed with I'm
dustrial companies filed Wall street
for months. Some of the rumors
proved to he true. whereas others
were made out of whole cloth. Peri
odically there came also rumors Of
peace proposals which on number OF
occasions exerted an important TN
fiuence on stock market prices. The
most frequently appearing reports
have been those of vessels sunk at
sea. o.-.tt t.~ gss ss.-s.'
1t would of course be too much to
say that the exchange authorities have
effectively checked rumors spreading
by their recent action, although I'M
doubtedly the tendency is toward
suppressing wild stories that might
be harmful both to sentiment and to
market values. &! ~ 81 gtgts 'rlcf 81

Chronic Gossipers in Wall Street
Are Put Under Ban by Ex-
change Officials.
UNPRECEDENTED In STREET
While Not Completely Checked the
Tendency Is Toward Suppressins
Wild Stories That Might Be
Harmful.

New York.-War has wrought many
and varied changes In Wall street
ways. The adjustment of the financial
district and It's army of workers to
the new order of things ushered in
by the entrance Of the United States
into the war has gone ahead steadily
and Is still progressing. The process
will 60 on until peace comes and per
haps thereafter. Banks, foreign ex-
change, the security and commodity
markets. have all felt the hand of the
war god in varying degree, and the
changes that have taken place in bust
ness methods and customs IN the
street would surprise the Wall street
frequenter of five or ten years ago.
h. Probably one of the most interest
ing developments In the financial dis
trict since our entrance into the war
has been the attempt made by the
market authorities to put the ban on
the rumor-monger. In normal times
the most gossipy place In the coun-
try is to be found right in the finan-
cial district where rumor Is born
every minute Millions of dollars
have been made and lost IN Wall
street on the circulation of rumors.
There have been times when wild
stories were deliberately concocted for
stock market purposes.
Unprecedented on Street
Dame Rumor lately, however, has
been taken in hand by the. officials Of
the New York stock exchange and
the New York cotton exchange, and
while she is still to be found Mt large,
her activities have been much re-
stricted. On the stock exchange the
governors recently adopted resolu-
tions to the effect that "the circula-
ton I'm any manner of rumors Of a
sensational character by members of
the exchange or their firms will be
deemed an act detrimental to the in
terest and welfare of the exchange.
Similar resolutions were adopted by
the cotton exchange governing board
after there had occurred tremendous
slump In cotton prices ascribed partly
