Kaiser in Touch
With Junkers

LONDON, Oct. 23.-The former
German Emperor and the former
crown prince are concerned in the in
trigues of the German royalists, the
political correspondent of the Daily
Mail asserts.
"The ex-emperor," says the writer,
lis far from leading a life of detach-
ment from German affairs. He has
recently seen a number of mysterious
visitors from Germany and is receiv-
ing many kilograms. He is constant
ly in communication with some place
in Germany by telephone, private
line having been attached to his resi-
dence across the frontier. These
communication are with German roy
alists.
"The former crown prince also is
known to be intriguing with German
royalists and receiving many suspi.
cious visitors. Inquiries on the mat
ter will be made in the house of com
mons next week"

Europe May

NEW YORK., Oct. 24.-The mort
gaging Of the art treasures of Flu

States to Europe as one means of re-
storing the exchange rates to nor
NAL condition was the unique scheme
discussed in financial circles in New
York Tuesday,
Austria has art treasures that
would easily sell for $4,000, 600 900,
and Italy has a collection that would
run as high as $4,000, 100000,
There are enough wealthy Americans
who would buy these treasures
There is no serious intention, how
ever, of permanently depriving Eu-
rope of its great works of art. Those
treasures would serve as good col
lateral for bank loans, financial
writer's say, and as such could be left
in the galleries where they are now
being cherished,

Bitter Attack
Upon Sim Fem

LONDON, Oct. 24.--Speaking at
Wallasey, Cheshire, last night, Field
Marshal Viscount French, lord lieu
tenant and encouragement of Ire
and, made bitter attack upon the
Sim Fem government of Ireland.
Among other things, he said:
"The self-constituted, illegal and
insane Sim Fein government is pos
sessed of great secret army called
the Irish Volunteers to which are
attached assassins whose business it
is to murder police and soldiers who
question DEGREES in any community.
The people are frightened into screen
ing the offenders, and courageous eff
forts on the part Of the police are
aboriye. We are ANXIOUS to give
3elf-dptermination and to be faithful
and lust to all but little can possibly
be done until law and order are es-
tablished. When the people hear Of
COERCION ! hope they will consider
the matter in just light"

Kaiser Was Not
Concerned Over
Wilson's Peace Plan

BERLIN, Oct. 24.-Pres:dent Will
sons peace offer, was matter of lit
tie concern to the German emperor,
according to the evidence presented
before the subcommittee investigat-
inC the war. Furthermore, the inter
veation of the United States appar-
emily was not seriously concidcred by
thu emperor.
The incident caused sensation and
occurred during the examination Of
Count Bcrnstorff, former ambassado
at Washington. The Socialist deputy,
DR.. Sinsheimer, turned toward Won
Bernstorff and said: "The kaiser's
telegram, to which you refer, dated
January 16 (1917) and addressed to
Herr Zimmerman foreign secre-
tary) says literally: His majesty
instructs me to thank you for your
communication. His majesty does not
care a bit about President Wilson's
offer. If breach with America can
not be prevented, it cannot be helped
Events are developing"
There was much excitement at the
hearing when the message was read.
DR.. Karl Helfferich, former vice chan
cellor, whispered Nonsense"
Dr. Shisheimer maintained that the
peace conditions sent to Washington
January %, 1917, which were said
to be the same as those of January
10, 1916, were really nothing like
them.

People who live in the smaller towns
and on farms have a great health adj
vantage over the city jewellers in that
they have ever an abundant supply OF
fresh air and sunlight.
These two gifts of nature, so lavish
" bestowed, are not always appreciat-

two Of the strongest weapons against
the menace Of tuberculosis, or con-
sumption, as 1t is sometimes called.
But consumption Is not unknown In
the rural districts. The death rate Is
sometimes as great in these sections as
Ia the more crowded localities, chiefly
because of carelessness or indifference
to laws Of health.
Few. indeed, are the farm houses
or the homes In the smaller cities and
villages that cannot have an outdoor
s.eepins porch. On the contrary, we
often find that the windows Of sleep
ing rooms In the home are shut tight
In the mistaken belief that night air
is harmful.
This paves the way for disease, espe-
eially tuberculosis, which generally at
tacks the lungs.

Carranza Makes
Good as Rugged
Horseman

MEXICO CITY, Oct. 24.-Corre-
sponaents accompanying President
Carrsnza on his trip to the northern
part of the republic are willing to
concede him first honors as hardy
and tried horseman, despite his go
years. The president has visited sew
eral ranches in Coahuila and Nuevo
Leon, making these trips on horse
back.
One correspondent tells of forty
five-mile ride across the desert, with
out water and through vision obscur-
ing dust. At the end of this strenu-
Gus ride, the president clattered into
the little village where he was to
spend the night, yards ahead of sew
eral of his hardest military men. He
apparently suffered no i'll effects from
the unusual exercise.
Several times the party was caught
by darkness on the desert. Camp
was pitched and by the light of a
log fire, the chief executive Of Mex
leo ate his supper and then rolled
into his blankets for a nights rest
Tnasmuch as President Carranza has
scarcely been away from the national
palace for a year. surprise is express
ed at his endurance. It is said that
the former rancher, for he was pros
porous rancher before revolution
made hi ma president, still finds his
keenest pleasures out OF doors, and
is looking forward to the time when
he can return to his farm interests in
Coahulia and live again the bucolic
life.

Business Men Offer
Support in Thrift
Campaign of Govt

Successful merchants and dealers,
men who are accustomed to looking
to the future and forecasting condi-
tons, are offering theiw hearty sup
port to the government campaign for
thrift as method Of reducing the
high cost of living. These business
men are urging their customers to
buy carefully and only what they need
ard are practising and advising sim
liar care and restraint in their own
l. ving, according to reports to Silas
W. Davis. Government Director, Saw
ings Division Of the Treasury Depart
ment. in the Sixth Federal Reserve
District.
Merchants building for the future
declare that the superb indifference
of some Americans TO price is bound
to react to the disadvantage of the
dealer eventually. The men doing
the most successful trade today. they
say, are those with sympathetic IN
Outstanding of conditions and an eag-
erness to cooperate in thrift. For
the thrifty are the best worthwhile
customers. They have more to spend
in the end and they can and do pay
cash.
Such men encourage the search for
bargains and provide such bargains
on their own counters. A prominent
newspaper, in commenting on this
policy of the merchants, says editori-
ally: There are bargains to be had
in every wanted line every day in
this city if the thrifty buyers care
to hunt them. If the average con-
sumer will but take the same fore
thought over his purchases that the
big wholesalers and retailers do over
Understanding the best and fairest
market-profteering will soon fade
away from lack of nourishment.
A. N. Daily, president of the Ma
tional Canned Foods and Dried Fruits
Brokers' Association, IN a recent let
ter, said
II question whether there was ever
a time in this country when there was
less real distress. The only known
distress is the inability to satisfy the
extravagant tastes and desires of the
times. Ask any butcher who is TAX
ing the most expensive cuts of beef
and he will almost invariably tell you
such sales are being made to those
who should be exercising strict econ
omy."
William Fellowes Morgan, president
Of the Merchants Association of New
York, not only is a wholehearted ex-
ponent of thrift and saving, but of
saving by means Of investment in
government savings securities. In
statement just issued, Mr.. Morgan
urged all to place some part of their
savings in War Savings Stamps and
Treasury Savings Certificates, as a
method of supporting the nation
through the critical period Of the re-
construction era.
