! anxious for peace" he answered,
Yes, Davis. my people are strongly
in favor of peace, but they want a
German peace-no allied peace"
He believed that just as the uni
verse is ruled by God so should the
earth be dominated by an earthly
ruler and that God had selected him
for the task. To displace him in IA
vor of a republican form of gov
ernment. to substitute a ruler elect
ed by the people for a monarch
designated by God was in his opinion
the basest sort of sacrilege. and the
unfortunate part of 1t all was that
the majority of his people coincided
with him. They preferred to be ruled
by hand of iron rather than to rule
themselves. Some day they may be
awakened to the blessings of self
government, but up to the present
time they have not shown the slight
est indication that they would pre-
fer to rule than be ruled, and be-
cause they submit so willingly to the
Kaiser's domination he has become
obsessed with the idea that the rest
of the world should follow suit.

CHAPTER VIII
The Yellow Peril

of the yellow Peril" / know

that il referred to the vast hordes of
Chinese and Japanese who some day.
if properly trained and armed. would
prove a great menace to the white
races, especially in Europe, which
they might try to overrun as the
Turks had done in bygone centuries.
After l went to Germany I heard
constantly of the yellow Peril
from influential persons and read
much about 1t in the newspapers
and magazines. and I wondered why
we had not paid more attention to 1t
in America. The fact that a great
military power like Germany was
talking about this menace gave me
the idea that possibly there was a
great deal in it.
Later I learned that the phrase
yellow Peril" was originated by the
Kaiser. Indeed. it was frequently
pointed out that Germany was maxi
ing a big mistake in sending Ger
man officers to train the Japanese
army and permitting the German
ammunition factories, especially the
krupp works, not only to sell them
guns and ammunition, but to show
them how to manufacture munitions
themselves, in view of the fact that
the Kaiser was constantly alluding
TO the menace of the yellow races.
After the war started and the Jap
anese entered it against Germany,
influential Germans did not hesitate

When. a few months later. the
abdication of the Gear was followed
by the abdication of King Constan-
tine of Greece. the Kaiser sustained
another blow which hurt him more
than the defeat of one of his armies
would have done.
They are trying to force their rot
ten form OF democratic government
on. Greece" he declared. fiercely.
The way they have treated my poor
sister. the Queen of Greece, is a
shame and disgrace. They talk
about our Invasion of Belgium. but
their actions in Greece are infinitely
worse. have studied the English
people for twenty-five years. and
they always try to cover their acts
with religion and the talk of benefits
to civilization and humanity. but
hypocrites that they are, they con-
tinue TO grab all they can get their
hands on just the same."
The fact that Greece had treaty
with Servia which required her to
take up arms if Servia were attacked
and that she had failed to meet her
obligations in that respect was natur-
ally of no significance TO the Kaiser,
10 whom treaties were but scraps of
paper
The keynote OF the kalSerS mill
tary program lay IN the fact that he
realized that it was necessary for
him to win in order to hold his
throne. l feel quite sure that If the
Allies were willing to concede to
Germany all the territory she has
conquered-Belgiu Servia, Poland,
Rumania. Russia and part of France,
and restore all her colonies. upon
condition that the Kaiser step down
from the throne, he would reject the
proposition without a moments hes
station.
Your country would like to make
a republic out of Germany he COM
mcnted. "a republic like France, per-
hacs. eoiuS down and down all the
tinie---a country ruled by lawyers.
And he mentioned half a dozen of
the great French statesmen who
we're members of the legal profess
sion. Its a sad thing for country
when il gets into the hands of law
yers France and Italy are already
controlled by them, and Americt and
England are rapidly following their
example,"
The. Kaiser regarded the German
people as his own property to do
with as he liked. When l referred
TO the German people" in conversa-
tion. he would dehcately correct me
by referring in his reply to my
people" When, for instance. l said
on one occasion, II understand, your
Majesty. that the German people are

Mother Learns Son Died
Heroic Death in Battle

How William Corner, 1916 Penn
street, Harrisburg, met a hero's death
from a Hun grenade. is graphically
and pathetically told in a letter to
his sorrowing mother from Captain
Truman Smith. of the company in
which Corner was a member. The
letter he speaks of must have been
written just before Corner went into
action for it was not sealed Cap
tain Smith wrote as follows:
Dear Mrs Corner:
"I have hardly the heart to send
the enclosed letter to you but I found
| 1t to-day among the mail to be CEN
sored. 1t must have been written by
your son a week ago. but he was
ordered to the front and prevented it
being sent
Your son had the honor of be-
ing the first man of my company to
| give his life for his country and civil
| lization. He gave all he had, with a
| courageous and faithful spirit and the
sacrifice he made is a blow, fearful
and terrible, not only to you but to
| each officer and man in this company.
Your grief and sorrow, nv words
cannot avail, but 1 can assure you
! that your sons death was a glorious
one and you may well be proud of
him.
He was killed by a German rifle
grenade, and I can assure you there
was no suffering and death was in
stantaneous. We could not carry his
body back to the rear. so heavy was
the German fire. and so buried him
upon a hilltop of France, not 100
yards from the German lines. After
| the war I hope we may bring his
body back to America. Let us who
remain fight on to victory in the
cause for which your son gave his
life.
II wish to convey to you and his
family my personal heartfelt SYM
pathy and the coincidence of Company
A, the 4th Regiment of United States
Infantry.
Very sincerely,
TRUMAN SMITH.

TIME TO CONVERT WAR BONDS
May Change 4 Percent Issues to Paper
Bearing 4I4.

The federal reserve bank of San
Francisco has notified all banks and
Liberty bond workers that holders of
the percent bonds of the first Liberty
loan converted and of the second
Liberty loan may avail themselves of
the privilege of converting into 4A per
cent bonds by presenting their bonds
for conversion through the banks which
handled the original subscriptions.
These bonds are not convertible after
Nov. 9, 1918, even if subsequent series
of bonds should be offered at higher
rate. Therefore, the conversion priv
lege must be exercised, if at all, on or
before Nov, 9, 1918.
The bonds to be delivered upon this
conversion will bear interest at the rate
of Az percent per annum from the last
interest date MAY 10, 1918, or June Is,
1919. No payment of accured interest
is required
Holders of the 31s percent bonds of
the first Liberty loan may convert into
any subsequent series of long term
bonds offered during the continuation
of the war, bearing interest at a higher
rate than 81 percent.

WEAK PRIMARY LAW

Election results sometimes are sur
nrisinq. Sometimes they are not. 1t
was foregone conclusion, before the
regent primary election, that many
Renublicans would enter the Democratic
nrimaries, because of absence of con
tests on the Republican ticket. The
Republicans voted their choice in the
Democratic ticket. They "helped -
the Democrats select their party nomi-
nees, who are to oppose the several
Republican nominees in the forthcom-
inc general election. Probably the Re
publicans and others sought in certain
instances to nominate weak men in the
Democratic primaries, hoping that at
the general election, Republican nomi-
nees would thus gain an advantage over
an adversary who would not. be expect
ed to poll a heavy vote. Such is the
weakness of a primary law, which lets
one party dictate the nominees of
another

POLITICS AND RAILWAY MEN

Director General McAdoo of the II
>. railroad administration has issned
orders to all railroad employees. inemd
ing officials, to remain aloof from
politics during the coming elections
The director generals orders virtually
place railroad employees on the same
plane as civil service employees. so far as
politics is concerned.
Mr.. McAdoo, after pointing out that
the duty of railroad officers and EN-
ployes Is high duty to the public, to
be scrupulously performed, says a rail
road man can not:
Be an officer or member of anv M
htlcal committee or organization that
solicits funds for political purposes.
Be a delegate, chairman or an Of
flcer IN any political convention.
Solicit or receive funds for any DO
lltical purpose or contribute to any poll
tical fund collected by an official or en-
ploye of any railroad, or any official or
employee of the United States or any
state.
Assume the conduct of any political
campaign.
Attempt to coerce or intimidate
another officer or employee in his vote.
Violation of this rule, Mr.. McAdoo
says will result in immediate dismis
SAIL
Become candidate for any poiti-
cal office Those who desire to run
for office or engage in politics must
Immediately sever their connections
with the L. S. railroad service.
Mr.. McAdoo s statement on the duty
OF railroad men to the public gives rise
to thought of whether the public may
expect more courteous service from rail
road employees or whether many will
continue with their Enthusiastically in /
dependent air OF ito he'll with the

REGISTRATION FOR WAR.

Registration, on September 10, of al
men in the United States between the
ages of is and As, except men previously
registered, and men now in the mill
tary or naval service of the United
States marks a step of vast proportion
in America IS participation in the world
war.
Notwithstanding the Importance of
the move, in the registration of vir-
tually 100000 men, the new enroll
ment of men does not cause the concern
throughout the land incident to the first
military registration, on June 5, 1917,
when men between the ages of 81 and 81
were listed for the military Absence
of confusion and CONSERVATION over the
forthcoming registration is attributed
to the matter-of- fact way in which the
American people now are viewing the
war and its many inroads upon the
manpOwer and resources of the nation.
The war must be won, is ths un-
animous assertion of the American peo-
pie, and at any necessary cost and
sacrifice.
Disposition to evide the dra.t, pro-
nounced i'll places, at the time of the
first registration, has practically dis
appeared, due, in large measure, to a
complete understanding on the part of
the public of the purpose of the war,
and, secondly, to the course pursued by
the government in apprehend;ne and
prosecuting slaekers. Between 10000
and $4,000 men who failed to register
