ELECTION DRAWING NEAR

The election was drawing close; it was necessary to notify von Bernstorff of Potsdam's preference; the Kaiser believed that perhaps he held the de- ciding ballot in his hand in the shape of the German American vote and he didn't know how to cast 1t. Hence the eagnerness with which they interro- gated me upon my return from the front"
 What conclusion the Reichskanzler drew from the meager information he .elicited from me- don't know, but I do know that the subject of our inter- view was discussed the next day be- tween him and the Kaiser The Berlin papers mentioned that the Kaiser spent an hour and half in consolidation with the Reichskapzler. The following /day the Kaiser came to me. and one of the first things he said, in a sarcastic tone, was: "Well, Davis you were nicely treated on your return to America. weren't your" referring to the severe examination to which the officials had subjected me at the dock. an incident which I had spoken of to no one in Germany but the Reichskanzler.
 The interview with the Reichskanzler and the fact. that 1t vas. instigated by the Kaiser indicated So me that Amer ica occupied a most important place in the Kaiser's plans When, a few months later, we declared war against Ger many, however, all the Kaiser's planning and plotting of years collapsed. The edifice he had been so confidently erect ing came crashing to the ground be- cause it was built upon a false founda- tion. How elementary was his expecta- ton that his efforts to win the friend- ship of the United States in time of peace could avail him anything 1n the face of his barbaric methods of making war.

LET THE COLORS
 BE DISPLAYED
By SAM JONES wILLINGHAM

(Just before war was declared against Germany by the United States The Age Herald carried on it's front page large picture of the American flag, with the words, Let the colors be displayed'' printed just below it.) From each window, from each steeple. Flaunt the ensign of a people ~ Never in the right dismayed- Let its colors be displayed. In the streets and dusty highways, Down the lanes and country by-ways, Trail that banner, unafraid,-- Let it's colors be displayed. In the heart as in the sight, In the darkness, in the light, Man or woman, boy or maid, Let the colors be displayed. Long triumphant over wrong, For the weak against the strong Hath that banner been arrayed- Let it's colors be displayed. Justice, loyalty and might, synonyms: Red, blue and white, Floating OCT the palisade, Let those colors be displayed. On the sea and on the land, Far away and near at hand, Floats ''O1d Glory" undelayed, Let it's color be displayed.

MISS LAwLEY CONTAMINATED

Miss Laurene Lawley gave one of the most artistic song recitals that has ever been heard in Anniston. for which was assembled a thoroughly appreciativs audience Sunday afternoon, says the An niston Star and Hot Blast.
 Miss Lawley possesses wonderfully sweet voice, resonant and sympathetic. There is refreshing quality in all her registers and her tones are rich and beau tiful. This young singer feels and en- ters into the spirit of her songs deeply and her technical resources are of un- usual excellence.
 It would be extremely difficult to>single out any of the numbers. on the programme for especial praise. Her selections were varied and sung to appreciative lovers Of real music. Miss Lucy Jones of Birming- ham was Miss Lawleys splendid accom- panist.
 Annistonians regret very much Miss Lawleys departure tomorrow for New York, but wish for her unbounded suc- cess. and her friends here will be inter ested in her achievements in the musical world.
