reached here, describe the tremendous
sensation caused in the Austrian cap

King Ferdinand had abdicated; that his
palace had been blown up, and that a
revolution had broken out in Bulgaria.
These rumors were promptly de-
MED, but the impression remained
that Bulgaria's secession had admin

Schooler, who live near Hiattsville,
received word from the War Depart
ment, that their son, Herbert. had
been wounded while in action on July
cath. The message WIS not sur
prise to the grieyed parents, for they
had already received a letter from
Herbert. telling them Of his slight
wound. This letter was written
August 4th, and in it he says: II am
feeling fine this morning although |
was slightly wounded on July 2i,h.
Think | will be out before many days.
So don't worry about me for the
wound don't amount to much. The
Red Cross nurses arc sure nice 20 me.
They gave me n nice hand bag, which
came in good time" Herbert was
one of the first that left this county
and his friends are glad to know that
his wound was so slight and hope to
hear soon of his complete recovery.

sick, but is anxious to fight for his

knew what he did they would not
wait to be drafted, for he would rath-
err die than live under a King. In a
letter to his parents he sends his re-

wants to hear from them often, for
he has never yet received a letter

The central record. (Lancaster, Ky.) 18??-current, 1918-09-05
Lancaster, Ky., September S. 1918

His majesty, the kaiser,
hears you have sacrificed nine
sons in defense of the father
land in the present war. His
majesty is immensely gratified
at the fact and, in recognition,
is pleased to send you his
photograph with frame and
autograph signature"
That's the kind of a letter
Frau Meter received from the
kaiser after the loss of her
ninth son, says the Cincinnati
Post. That's the sort of mes
sage of comfort and coincidence
the HohenZollern autocrat sent
into the home of a mother who
had given her all to her coun-
try.
He expressed his "gratifica-
ton" at her sacrifice.
Let's look up the definition
of the word qualification. 1t
means pleasure" or "satisfac-
tom. The word does not eX-
press sorrow nor does its use
in any way show an effort to
comfort the grieving mother.
1t merely expresses "satisfac-
ton" because the mother lost
nine sons in a war provoked to
satisfy the greed of the kaiser.
Perhaps the kaiser's "satisfac-
ton would have been greater
if the mother had had more
sons to lose.
How cold, heartless, COM
fortress, is this message of the
kaiser. How the stricken
mother must loath the sight of
the photograph sent to her by
the constituencies war lord.
How this sacrificing mother
must hate autocracy and its
cold narrow humanless view
of life.
And how different is this
message of comfort sent by
President Abraham Lincoln to
Mrs. Bixby, expressing his
grief at her loss:
Dear Madam have been
shown in the files of the war
department a statement of the
adjutant general of Massachu-
sets that you are the mother
of five sons who have died
gloriously on the field of bat
tie. | feel how weak and
fruitless must be any words of
mine which should attempt to
beguile you from the grief of
a loss so overwhelming.
"But | cannot refrain from
rendering to you the consola-
ton that may be found in the
thanks of the republic they
died to save. | pray that our
Heavenly Father may assuage
the anguish of your bereave-
ment and leave you only the
cherished memory of the loved
and lost, and the solemn pride
that must be yours to have laid
so costly a sacrifice on the
altar of freedom"
