HE. SAVED EMPEROR
Ludendorff Kept Wilhelm From Co.
ing Into Thick of Battle

Washington, Jan. 9.-Dramatic cap
ture of the kaiser or possibly his death
on the field of battle, was averted
only by the intervention of General
Ludendorff, it was learned today thru
authoritative diplomatic disclosure.
Wilhelm's arrival at German head
quarters after his flight from Berlin
was the signal for revival of spirit
of the discouraged German troops, ac-
cording to the disclosures. Several
high staff men suggested that the
kaiser go into the midst of the battle
it is stated. and the suggestion was
taken up by the Prussian guards and
o,her staunch Teuton iegions.
Ludendorff opposed the scheme, it
is declared, on the ground that it
would result in no military gain and
would endanger the arnys with
drawaI.
The advices also disclose the fact
that German headquarters on August
5 admitted approaching defeat and
recommends the kaiser's abdication.
Chancellor Won Hertling fatty refused
to inform the reicbstag or the press
of the true military situation, it was
declared. The following week Luden-
dorff suggested to Berlin that Holland
be requested to offer mediation to all
combatants, the advice stated.

BACK TO PORK BARREL
Charges Are Made of Inefficient
Spending of Cash by Congress.

Washington. Jan. 9.-Queries by
chairman of the congressional commit
tee investigating Expenditures of the
national security league today brought
from S. Stanwood Menken, former
president of the league, charges that
congress has turned to pork barrel
uses of money which should have been
spent according to advice of military
and naval experts.
'"This country spent almost as much
money as Germany on it's army" Men
ken declared, but it did not have
one-fifth the military establishment"
Pressed for further explanation of
congressional expenditures, Menken
declared:
"Iog-rolling was a favorite practice
in congress" explaining he meant by
this that congressman who were in
fluenced, were able to procure appro-
priations for postoffices and other
buildings for cities not deserving.
go to Bar Harbor and look at the
postoffice there if you want to know
exactly what 1 mean,'' he replied to
one question from Representative
Johnson. He also declared investiga-
lions of naval expenses made by the
league had shown that, the advice of
General Wood, General Scott, and the
nored and that congress followed it's
own ideas with regard to increasing
the military and naval power of the
country. He asserted dry docks were
built in some cases that could not be
used by battleships because the water
approaching the docks was too shall
low for ships to use.

KEEP OUT ALIENS
Congress Win Try for Laws To
Hinder Immigration.
Two Measures Now Are Before
the House Committee.

Washington, Jan. 9.-An effort to
tighten immigration restrictions will
Be made at this session of congress
despite shortness of time before final
adjournment.
Chairman Burnett of the house i'm
migration committee today called his
Committee together to try to get an
agreement on some measures that will
halt a rush to American shores ex-
pected as soon as there is shipping
space.
There are two measures before Bur-
nett's committee.
One, by Burnett himself, would halt
immigration for four years from the
date of passage.
The other, by Representative Lufkin,
would stop immigration for two years.
The exceptions made in the two
bills are government officials, skilled
laborers, refugees from religious per-
secution, and returning soldiers who
are alien. All those would be allowed
admission on proof of status.
There is a demand for some check
on immigration and it is coming from
quarters which have favored the very
light restrictions. Burnett said today.
Keep Out Million.
zone thing is sure. we cannot allow
an influx of a million unframed work
sers year during our readjustment
period. We should allow the people
we have now to get settled back, into
normal life before taking in more.
The shortness of man power
abroad may affect the situation some
but not greatly. Foreign governments
may make things very attractive for
the people they want to keep and let
US have the dregs. If congress will
recognize the true situation, bill can
be passed before the end of this ses-
SION
= Burnett also pointed out that immi-
grafton laws passed now would not
interfere with any provisions that
might be made in the peace treaty, be-
cause the treaty, being passed last
would override previous legislation.
Two powerful forces are working
for immigration legislation. Labor
wants it to safeguard wages during
the period of high prices. The second
force is one that wants to take pre-
ventive steps against any remote
chance of a spread of Bolshevism
here.
The immigration bureau has already
appealed to congress for more funds
for the coming year declaring that
thousands of prepaid tickets have
been purchased in this country for
relatives in Europe.
