announced that he was the ex-kaiser's secretary. He ked what the visi- tors wanted. He vas told that the American officers had come to arrest William Hohenzollern. The secretary promised that he would convey this information to his master.
 Five minutes elapsed, then the sec- retary, now wearing trousers, but still without a shirt, descended bearing a message from the ex-kaiser to the ef- feet that William was willing to sur render to the Americans and to be taken to American headquarters if he were shown guarantee of safe con- duct. and if they would promise that he would not be shot en route.
 Some of the hotheads in the Ameri- can party urged that the stairs be rushed and the ex-kaiser grabbed without further formality. However, the cooler ones said that shots might be exchanged, and they didn't want anyone to be hurt. So word was sent back that the visitors were unable to furnish anything except oral guar antee for Williams safety. Again Herr Hohenzoiiern sent back 6 mes sage that he must have written guar antees.
 While the parleying was in prog ress. the servant and the secretary had escaped thru rear door and run to the village. Twenty-Five Dutch soldiers on bicycles hastened to the castle and invaded the audience room, demanding why the Americans were violating Hollands neutrality.
 Here the would-be kidnappers with drew into a side room for confer ence They decided that it was bet ter Go go away without the ex-kaiser than to be informed, so they sent a final message upstairs:
 Tell Bill we'll be back and get him sometime, bringing the whole American army if necessary"
 Then the two cars sped toward Bel gium, and the greatest coup of the war had just failed of accomplish ment.

suTTERMiLk NEXT IF IF : SHOWS ALCOHOLIC RESULTS

When butterInilk sends man homs to whip his wife and smash the fur niture, then we will go after butter milk" said Supt. H. H. Spooner of the Connecticut Temperance union. when asked if Conn ecticut prohibitionists were going to wage campaign against butteEmilk drinking. in view of the fact that Professor Frazer of Johns Hopkins university says that under certain conditions buttermilk could be made to deYeiaF an alcoholic content.
 Superintendent Ora bbe' of the Anti Saloon league iii Maryland, after read ing Professor F'razer's opinions and beirS asked about a buttermilk cam paign, is quoted as saying:
 I've aren't ginning for whiskey or beer or wine. or any particular in dividuaI kind of booze. We're on the trail of Mr. Earleycorn. no matter what form he may assume. His vari- euS diSguises mean nethiHg to us. If it is proved that buttermilk contains an unlawful percentage of alcohol then we are as much the enemy of hutterHiik as we are the enemy of Whiskey. There are few distinctions in our point of yieH-.zT To us booze Is beozs, and that's all there is to it."
 MT. Spooner says he never saw any i'll effects of huttermilk drinking and has nat met anyone who. has.
 .Ws have no notion of going after butterrpiik'' he said. The air is full of bunk and absurd steries just now, and wish sense of our friends would Keep their mouths shut. ana sorry erab abbe fell for the proposition

There is. no danger of a world war, a war which could involve the United States or concern large is slias. for many years to come.
