I realized then that the Prince had
advised the emperor to reduce at once
his retinue of servants that he might
be in position to leave the Father
land in case necessity arose.
On the following afternoon Prince
Max left for Berlin, but week later
he returned to Wilhelmshoe. where the
emperor was awaiting developments.
Willing to Bring About Civil War
to Save Dynasty.
During the absence of Prince Max
-the emperor constantly corresponded
with a number of royalists, endesvor-
ing to ascertain whether or not he
could muster up enough supporters in
case he decided to fight the socialists
should a revolution start.
Especially one message that passed
through my hands was seriously in
eliminating. 1t was telegram to
General Ludendorff which read:

peace Immediately, but if were GER

cient royalists. 1 would fight the re-

terest end and that sufficient force
would be gathered to fight the repub-
licans.'a
But while the emperor was thus plot
ting with Ludendorff, Prince Max re-
turned from Berlin. He was no longer
the patient and amiable kinsman of the
emperor. As soon as he reached the
palace / realized that he was changed
man. The emperor and the empress
with their daughter were taking tea
in the empress boudoir. Prince Max
brushed me aside and entered the
room unannounced. l followed him in
to the room and the emperor was
about to reprimand me for not having
announced his kinsman when the prince
held up his hand and stopped him from
uttering even word. Then he went
right to business.
Kaiser Relied Upon Arinistice to
Back Him Up.
'Let me tell your majesty what
brought me back to Wilhelmshoe so
suddenly" he said, ~ am resigning

as the large packers have to use their
utmost efforts in competition with
each other and with hundreds of small

BY CAPT. KARL SCHWARZKOFFEN
ATTACHED to the Kaiser s Personal
Staff.)
lConcluded from last Saturday,


At the end of the conference it
was decided that Ludendorff must re-
linquish all rights to interfere with
the civil functions of the empire and
that the government must sue for
peace at once. However, after the
socialist deputies left Prince Max ad-
Hised the emperor to end Ludendorffs
career military and otherwise, and the
emperor acted accordingly. Half an
hour after the socialist deputies left
Rhe palace General Ludendorff also
left, his career ended forever. He went
Immediately to Baden and still later

there joined the ever growing exile

the world.
That night the emperor dined in his
apartments with the empress. his dau-
ghter, the Duke Of Brunswick, the
Countess of Brockdorf, and Prince Max
the members of the household dined
in an adjoining room. Naturally, 4

Heigned at the table. was constantly
questioned as to what had really taken
place at the council. ] considered it my
duty to show sealed lips. But the mem
bers Of the household were not held
in suspense very long. AT the end of
the meal Prince Max entered the din
ing room and announced in his usual
grave tone that he had very import
ant communication to make to them.
What the Prince had to say was known
only to very few of us and the an
mouncement stunned the majority COM
pletely.
The Gang Quits.
The prince stood at the head of the
table and said solemnly:
ellis majesty has requested me to
Uniform you with great regret that un-
der the grave circumstances that are
Hhreatening our dear Fatherland it
will be necessary to reduce the person
mel of the Royal establishment con-
siderably. The emperor and empress
are obliged to inform the members of
the royal establishment that they must
depart tomorrow, at the latest, with
the exception of those who before mid
ni2ht are requested to remain.
On the following morning more tha-
no members took their departure, many
of them with tears in their eyes, tho
mo doubt, the majority Of those dis
charged employees were crying for
themselves alone.

Mr.. Hoover had not had opportunity to
avail himself of the information
brought out at the recent congression-
al hearings in Washington.
"The principal issue seems to be
whether or not there is monopoly
and i believe it was clearly demon
strated at these hearings that the large
packers are in active competition with
each other. There are absolutely no
agreements among the five largest
packers to control prices. they, to-
gether handle less than forty per cent
of the meat supply of the country.
The largest company handles only
about twelve per cent of the total meat
supply and less than twenty five per
cent Of even the output of houses that
are under U, s. inspection.
There are about two hundred and
seventy packing concerns, besides
those operated by the five largest,
that are under federal inspection, and
hundreds of local houses that are not
subject to inspection All large cities

rectly with the five largest. Some Of
their representatives appeared at the
hearings in Washington and stated
that they were prospering, and that
there was fair and open competition
in the industry.
~ have publicly stated that we
have no serious objection to being re-
lieved of our interest in refrigerator
cars and stock yards But we have
pointed out that it is decidedly ques-
tionable whether any efficiency or
benefit can be gained by such proceed
ure. We would also call attention TO
the fact that during the recent hear
ings, no evils, needing correction have
been brought to light in connection
with packer ownership of these facil-
tiles.
81 quite agree with Mr.. Hoover that
there is no reason for the government
to take over the branch houses Of the
packers, but do not feel that suffi-
cicnt consideration has been given to
the question of handling other pro-
ducts than meats. Swift. and company
handles only few such products, and
they are distinctly related to our bus
mess, either as by-products Of the pack
ing houses. or as goods which can be
economically handled through our ex-
tensixe distributing organization.
III hardly think that the govern
ment should assume authority to dis
tate what products any business con-
Germ may or may not handle. There is
not only no need for such step in
connection with the packing business,
but it would act as dangerous prece-
dent which might be extended to all
other industries.
"It is a little difficult for me to
reconcile Mr.. Hoover's criticism Of the
fact that the large packers have ..m-
mated middlemen and gone direct to
the retailers with the general opinion
that marketing should be as direct as
possible from producer to consumer. /
think it will be conceded that If we
have eliminated unnecessary middle
men this has been to the advantage Of
the public at large.
"Since there is no monopoly, the
facts do not justify the statement that
as time goes on his efficiency cannot
fail to diminish and, like all monopo-
lies, begin to defend itself by repres-

what she said, Ed was a regular cave
man, Bluebeard and goodness knows
what not.
Eds turn came and he told his
story. And what he said about his
wife was something awful. 1t can't
be told.
However, he must have enlisted the
sympathieS of the court. Because

piece. he must have thought that II
was Il case of six of one and a half

Upon Eds promise to stay away
from his wife. the court let him go

1t Always Happens.


There is something wrong either
with the government controlled rail-
roads or the fellows who ship stuff
over the roads.
The other day James Taylor, a
furniture mover. hauled a load OF
goods to the Southern freight yards
TO be shipped to Due West, S. c.
When the stun got there, gold
chairand a fine rug were missing.
The owner of the things set UP a
howl. She went right after James
and raked him over the Goals.
James then got busy with such
things as the consignee, the con-
signor, bills of lading, receipts, shiI-
ping tags and all that sort of stun
that belongs with a shipment.
He couldn't get any satisfaction
from anyone. The railroad hadn't
given him any bill of lading and
therefore he couldn't swear as to
what composed the load.
Finally the owner of the stun got
sore and had James arrested. She
charged him with embezzling the
rug.
The chair was found in James
packing room. His men had forgot
to take 1t to the freight yard.
The court could easily see that
either he was careless or else the
railroad was.
Anyhow the case was dismissed
James promised to pay for the rug
and that settled it.
