William Hohenzollern starts smoking,
for the attendants still retain enough
of their subjectivity not to dare to
take the lead. Then one of the at
tendants discreetly. draws a cigarette
case from his pocket, on seeing which
the former emperor often says, offer
ing his burning cigarette: "Here you
are. Take light"
Soon all about him are smoking and
continue to do so until the ten minute
interval is over and work begins
again. Outlines in these short rests
the former empress, who during the
work walks about the castle grounds
when the weather is favorable, comes
mp to the place where the wood saw
ing is done and little general chat
ensues, both Herr Hohenzollern and
his wife putting questions on all sorts
of subjects to those in attendance.
AS a rule, the former emperor is
extremely talkative. He dwells great
ly on happenings in Germany, both
past and present. Often he is in a
complaining mood, when he blames all
and sundry for what has occurred. 1t
does not seem to enter his mind that
any of the fault lies with him. At
these times he expresses sorrow for
the asperity of his utterances. On 9TH
er occasions-these are more rare-he
closes up like a clam and not a word
can be drawn from him.
He has everything he can possibly
require in the way of creature COM
forts, but without actually being i'm
prisOned he is confined to a very small
area, for he has not dared since before
Christmas to put foot outside of the
castle grounds, as he fears contact
with the outside world.

HARRISONS VITROLAC
AUTO FINISH
For Renewing Old Cars

This finish makes it possible
to make a used car look new.
They are free-fowing enamels
of the very highest quality,
greatly superior to the ordinary
automobile and carriage paints.
Six beautiful colors, with black
and white, give a range of Sc
lection for the conservative linn
CUISINE and snappy sport car.
They give factory finish to the
used car, no matter how rusty
and dusty in appearance, adding
much to its resale value. Vitro-
lac Auto Enamels carry with
them ground coats and under
coatings necessary to lay a
foundation for the best finish of
this kind. BY using them in ac-
cordance with directions, the car
owner will be able to suit his
taste and fancy in color and Sc
cure the most beautiful and dur
able effect.

SALARY BOOSTS ARE
APPARENTLY DOOMED
TO MEET TRAGIC END
State Tax Commissioner S
Stipend VIII Remain Exact
v Iy As II Was Before.

Unless the boys on the state payroll
who are seeking to have the legislature
boost their salaries can line up another
vote or two in the senate the salary
bills are doomed.
The handwriting on the wall appear.
cd in the senate yesterday afternoon
when the bill to boost the salary Of
State Tax Commissioner Galloway from
$4,000 to $4,000 year fell short just
one vote of passing the upper house.
The vote was Is to Is, and it takes 16
votes, or q majority Of one, to get by.
After the tax commissioner s salary
bill met its tragic fate, the bill to in
crease the salary of Dairy and Food
Commissioner j. d. Mickle, from 1000
to $4,000 was reached on the calendar
for third reading, but it was saved for
the time being from possibly similar
fate by being referred to the ways and
means committee.
In that connection, President vinton
reversed an earlier ruling he had made
and held that all salary bills must first
go to the ways and means committee.
That will mean that salary boosting bills
must indeed be meritorous to get by, as
the ways and means committee is hav-
ing hard time to take care of the ac-
tual wants of the state institutions.
Senator Banks, who said he had in
mind the bill to increase the salary Of
the insurance commissioner from $4,000
to $4,000 year, objected to the presi-
dents ruling, as he considered 1t a
foregone conclusion that the ways and
means committee would report unfavor-
ably on all salary bills.
When the bill to increase the salary
Of Tax Commissioner Galloway came
up for action, Senator Patterson made
motion that the bill be referred to the
assessment and taxation committee
with instructions that it be amended

Lloyd George And Other Not
ables Come In For Their
Share OF Criticism.
BRITISH NOT ALARMED
: OVER THEIR ATTITUDE
Another Factor OF Interest Is
That Certain French Royal
lists Want King Ruler.
BY Lowell Mellett
Omitted Press staff corresponden,

Omitted Press staff correspondent
Paris, Feb. l2. Two months aeo
Woodrow Wilson could have been elect,
ed president of France. Today Paris
Would not elect his justice of the
peace.
Whether the remainder of France has
similarly changed it is impossible to
say, but people returning from the in
tofior report that his pictures still fill
shop and residence windows ana that
his name still evokes the readiest
cheers. This is not so in Paris, where
the Gpen unfriendliness of certain news
papers is echoed in subway, tramway
aud hotel corridor conversations. The
attitude is usually taken that Wilson IL
unduly lenient toward Germany. Angry
debaters allege he is more concerned
with saving Germany than saving
France.
Resentment in Paris, however, is not
confined to the president. The names of
Premier LloydGeorge and other noted
visitors are beginning to be heard,
whereas, after Wilson, s arrival scores
Ct prominent names virtually dropped
out Of circulation. These names are now
heard coupled with Wilson'S charged
with virtual treachery to France.
Worries Americans
This palpable cooling Of friendship is
worrying many Americans, but it leaves
the British unruffled. They smile snd
say they have been through it before
aud that it won't last long. France is
"enjoying war scarc' and the emo
tional luxury Of looking OH the black
eide of things in order to enjoy greater
delight when it is found that the -situa,
tion is not so bad as anticipated. they
say:
The British contend it is a national
trait. This is one factor that can be
taken into consideration in reading tho
pcssimistie comments of considerably
section Of the French press Regarding
peace work.
Disregarding the allegation that gov
ernment propaganda is responsible for
that attitude Of the French newspapers,
there is another factor alleged to be. in
cludcd in their cries of "wolfl wolff"
That is the fact that several of the
best known Frenchmen are actually
said to be royslists and consider France
can be redeemed only when a king
again occupies the palace.
Between pessimism, propaganda and
politics, progressive democracy seems to
be having hard shedding but cool Brit.
ish observers declare the difficulties are
more apparent then real.

Bitter Against Democratic Rule.

But the mistake in republican tao
