CHAPTER II.
The Kaiser At Potsdam.


Getting out of Germany proved to be
a far more difficult proposition than I
had imagined.
Realizing that 1t would probably be
several months before l could finally
settle up my affairs, and that my child,
who was anemic, ought to be taken
out of Germany with as little delay as
possible because food conditions were
fast going from bad to worse, I ap-
piled to the kommandantur for leave to
have my wife and child go to Mon
freux, on Lake Geneva, Switzerland,
where I hoped to join them at the
earliest possible moment and accom-
pany them home. l did not relish the
idea of their going across the ocean
without me.
That was in May, 1917. Weeks
passed while our application was going
from one official to another, lying, per-
haps for days at time under a pile OF
other applications of similar char
acter or awaiting the investigation or
our personal histories, and it was moi
until the end of June that we received
any word regarding it. Then We
learned that it had been denied.

Associates il tie 5s'"r.
The object Of this conference was
to plan an effective international pro-

On the 4th and 9Th Of September
line flfty-three Federal Food Admins
trations, representing the forty-eight
states and Alaska, the Philippines,
Hawaii, Porto Rico and Panama, will
meet Mr. Hoover in Washington to go
over the facts he has to present and
consider what regulations must govern
The use of our available food supplies.
Every one of these fifty-three Federal
Food Administrators will bring to the
conference many problems confront

From this mass Of stark facts and
complex problems, equitable regula-
lions must be formulated and agreed
upon as being FOR the greatest good OF
the greatest number Of our own sol
ders and people, and those of the
Allies. (FailinS Of this test, any rule
would be for the good of the enemy
that enemy which is selishness in
carnate.)
Under these, and existing regu'a.
lions, as modified by the demands or
changing conditions, the citizens of the
United States will be called upon 10

Democracy depends for the stamina to
fight on to victory.

The Kaiser as ! Knew Tim
for Fourteen Years
gSs~ =.
Bv ARTHUR N. DAVIS, D. D. 5. =
PREFACE

For Il years the kaiser was
my patient. All know of him
and all that he told me came to
me while the relation of patient :
and dentist existed between us.
For that reason I felt at first
that, no matter how vital to the
allied cause might be the infor-
nation | could give as to the kali
ser's viewpoint, ambitions ana
plans, the requirements Of pro-
fessional ethics must seal my
lips and compel me to withhold
it from the world at large.
When, however, | considered
the grave crisis that confronts
the world and in which my own
country is playing so important
q part, and realized that what l
knew of the kaiser might prove
of some value to civilization, l
concluded that my patriotic duty
was paramount and rose SUI
perior to any OF the ordinary de-
mands of professional ethics.
In this conclusion | was
strengthened by the urgent solicit
tation of the leaders of my pro-
fession who were most emphatic
in their contention that my
ethical qualms were entirely IN
warranted in view of all the cir
cumstanceS.

SALT.

The salt shortage which the Southeast.
ern States experienced last spring and
winter was not so much from short.
age Of the salt as from a shortage Of
coal for use in the manufacture, and
of cars in which to ship the finished
product
The Staple Grocers' Division of the
Food Administration advises that as
much the same transportation condi.
tons are likely to prevail this fall and
winter, the trade should place it's
salt orders now, or certainly far enough
ahead to Cntiripate the delay in ship.

talked to me sh whatever Whs Sppsrr,
most in his Hind Ut the title. After
the war started that, of course, formed
the principal subject Of our discus
sions and the part that America was
playing in the conflict was frequently
brought up because of the fact that I
was an American.
One memorable interview had had
with him Influenced me perhaps more
than any other single factor to hasten
the settlement of my European affairs
and return home.
1t was in the fall of 1916. The kai-
ser had come to me for professional
attention, and after my work was COM
pleted he remained to discuss some
of the aspects Of the war. Perhaps the
fact that I had just returned from q
visit to America made him more than
usually eager for a chat with me.
We had discussed various phases OF
the war, when the kaiser changed th'
subject abruptly with the question:
Davis, what's the matter with yo--
country"
SIN what respect, your majesty"
asked.
"Why is it that your country is s.
unfair to Germany? Why do you per
sist in supplying munitions and money
&c the allies? Why doesn't your pres
ident treat the European warning ma
tons the same as he treated Mexico
by putting an embargo on munitions
and letting lis fight this thing out our
selves? You do not ship munitions to
us, why do you ship them to the other
side?'
was on such terms with the kaiser
that | did not hesitate to answer his
question with another,
IT have always understood, your
| majesty, that during the 'Russian-Jap'
anese war, Germany continually sup
piled munitions to Russia. Why was
| that any more justifable than America
supplying munitions to the allies?
Then again, in the Spanish-American
-H
Davis you surprise mel" the kas'
ser interrupted, rising from the oper-
ting chair, in which he had remained,
walking towards me, throwing BACK
MS shoulders and rising to his full
height, 1.-THE cases are entirely differ
ant. When we helped Russia against
Japan we were helping white race
against yellow race, don't ever for
get that-don't ever forget that But
| with America, that is certainly not the
| case. Your country is acting from
purely mercenary motives. 1t is a
| case of dollars, dollars, dollars !"--and
each time he repeated the word he
struck his partially helpless left hand
violently with his powerful right.
America values dollars more than she
values German lives! She thinks 1t
right to shoot down my people"
He had worked himself up to de-
gree of indignation which l had seen
him display only on two or three pre-
vious occasions, and I must confess l
was reluctant to start fresh outburst
by answering his arguments. His
eyes, usually soft and kindly, flashed
| fire as he advanced towards me and
slowly and inclsively declared: Davis,
America must - be - punished -
| or-her-actions
In that expression, which he repeat
ed on subsequent occasions in pre-
J cisely the same words and with the
same measured emphasis, knew that
re revealed mostly clearly what his at
.itude was and viii ever be toward
this country.

LEARNING TO SAVE

Many man finds it utterly I'M
possible to put by anything for the
inevitable rainy day so long as the re-
sponsibility rests wholly upon him
self. His money simply takes wings,
trickles through his fingers, gets away
from him in hundred different ways.
Frequently he is splendidly capable
up to the point where he begins to
try to save, to put away so much each
week or month. Then he becomes a
complete failure.
For this sort of man there. - but
one way out. He should make his
savings involuntary, completely be-
yond his power. He should say to
his employer: 81 want you to have
so much deducted from my envelope
every pay day and put aside to my
credit. And want this arrangement
to continue for one year."
The man behind the wire cage in
the business office will be pleased to
do this for you. Your employer will
be even better pleased. You will take
new level in his estimation, just
as eventually you will step to high
er plane in your own. And before
you realize it you will have a bank
account.
In these days of Liberty Bonds,
savings stamps and savings certii-
Gates there is every incentive for one
to cultivate long neglected spirit of
| frugality.

FAITH. HOPE. AND CHEER

We ask, dear Lord, in earnest prayer
That Thou wilt give us guiding care;
Help us to feel the Spirit need
That calls for closer walk with
Thee
A faith that can in darkness lead
Before which phantom pains will
flee.
Fine self-assertion then will stand
Der falt'ring frailties take command
Will call that woodworking
"Will"
(That sometimes seems inclined
to shirk)
Once thro' Life's eenters send its
thrill
Twill start its energies at work.
Twill send new life thro' palsied veins
And drive out those enthralling pains;
II Faith and Hope and Will arise
All beating back enfeebling fear
They'll kindle joy that pain defes-
A strength unknown is born oi
cheer.

SPENDTHRIFT AMERICA
BEGINS TO SAVE
Bv ]. Ogden Armour


Out of the world war, Thrift is be-
ing born.
Spendthrift America has begun to
save. Thrift Certificates, the new
government saving plan, present the
last word in saving.
People who have never had at any
one time enough money for a Liberty
Bond can now become investors, in
the equivalent of gilt-edged, big-pay-
ing bonds.
As an investment, a Thrift Certif
cate is in class by itself.
AS an expression of patriotism, il
is equally desirable, for the dollars
that are thus turned over to govern
ment will be sent forth to fight the
battle of Democracy against Autoc-
racy; of Civilization against Militar.
ism.
The people of the United States
who are unable to fight, who are un,
able to work behind the fighting mer
and who lack the money with which
TO purchase Liberty Bonds, can do nj
more patriotic service than to bu!

A|RPLANE PROGRAM
Production of Aircraft in the United
States Will Be Restricted by Trans
portation Facilities - 100000 Air
craft Would Require Army of 400,-
O00,00O Men to Maintain.

In a statement issued by Howard
3. Coffin, chairman of the Aircraft
Production Board, is the following:
In discussing the accomplish
ments of the air service in the con-
summation of the Army program,
it will be well to point out the i'm
possibility of certain proposals en-
Enthusiastically and persistently put
forward by word of mouth and in
the press. We have seen and heard
much of the proposal of 100000
airplanes" to be provided by the
United States within the next year.
In country where one great indus
try produces 100000 motor cars
per year, the fabrication of 100000
planes might seem easy, but actual
figures based on three years of
practical experience in the war show
that there are now between 40 and
so men Of the auxiliary services re-
quired for each active machine at
the front. If this same ratio should
be adhered to in our service, it
would mean that some 400,000,000
men would be required in our aero
nautical department on foreign soil
between our ports of debarkation
and the fighting front.
Even though this number of men
could be reduced by so per cent by
increased efficiency and Standard
zation, the number required is still
staggering. Consider, also, the over
seas transportation problem as re-
lated to material only and without
reference to personnel and its main
tainance. The transportation OF
finished planes, properly Grated
with the necessary spares, acces-
sories, and equipment is in itself 6
serious problem, in view of the sit.
uation in ship tonnage.
