"KAISER STILL KING;
PRINCE MAX TRAITOR"
Such Are the Assertions of
Pan-German Expose.

BERLIN, July 27.-This mornings pan
German newspapers OF Berlin make a
feature of a Ave column expose of oc-
currences in connection with the out
break of the German revolution last No
vember, including a struggle taking
place at German Great Headquarters at
Spa on November 8. lasting nearly
twenty-four hours, to induce Emperor
William to abdicate.
Material is adduced to show that
Prince Macmillan of Baden, the then
Imperial Chancellor. finally took the
initiative and gave to the Wolf Bu-
reau an official statement that the EN-
peror had abdicated as Emperor and
King OF Prussia, although II is averred
that he had not done either and has
never renounced the throne OF Prussia.
Prince Macmillan. II 10 declared, took
this step out OF misguided patriotism in
an attempt TO subdue tho revolutionary
movement, which was rapidly getting out
OF hand and by it forced the Emperor's
advisers TO hurry him away 10 Holland.
The Pan-Germans now charge the
former Chancellor with treachery.
All doubts as TO William Hohenzol-
lern's abdication as German Emperor
and King OF Prussia were considered to
have been settled when Berlin advices
on November 80 last told of the issu-
ance by the new German Government OF
the former Emperor's act of renuncia-
ton, described as having been executed
and signed by William HohenEollern at
Amerongen. Holland. on November 2s
The text Of the abdication, as given in a
Berlin despatch, began:

forever my rights to the crown Of Prus-
sia and the rights to the German Imps-
rial crown"

The Spirit of Waste
[From New Haven Registerl

In his address before the Ameri-
can Bar Association, Elihu Root put
his finger on the crux of the situation
by saying that in spite of all condi-
tions calling for thrift, extravaganza
was never greater than now.
Benjamin Franklin might have
made the speech. 1t contains wis
dom as old as Solomon and some of
it consolidates accumulations of ex-
perience dating back to the Stone
age. Under our theory of life every
man should earn his own living and
provide for his future obligations.
Some few have provision made for
them by others, but unless they are
incompetent they are not fortunate.
No able bodied person deserves a
living which in one way or another
is not earned by his own contribu-
tions.
If the people keep on selling ten
millions of Liberty and Victory bonds
daily to buy luxuries, the time will
come when they will repent. Peo-
pie act as if there had been no de-
vastating war or as If the time for
thrift, economy and self sacrifice has
passed. Unless we are careful our
troubles will become worse. This
is not a jeremiad but merely the
commonest sort of common Sense.

EACH WAR 4 WORSE ONE

NE Al. ROBERT c. COTTON,
M U. S. A, the editor of the
Infantry Journal, the official
organ of the United States Infantry
Association, in an article written for
the association compares the casu-
alties and cost of the Civil War with
those of the recent war, and as re-
suit of these comparisons reaches
the conclusion that "one has but to
compare one war with a preceding
one and the necessity for prepared
ness is foreboding and ominous."
"In 1860 the population of the
United States was 31,443,321 says
Major Cotton. The military popu-
lation of the Northern States was
3,769,020. The military population
of the Southern States was 1864, 4,193.
The military population of the border
States, Kentucky, Maryland and
Missouri, was 516,0S5.
"Deducting the men who entered
the Northern Army from the
Southern States and the Southern
Union men who did not take up
arms, leaves the Southern States a
military population of 89S,1S4. The
enlisted strength of the Confederacy
probably did not exceed 100000 to
iOOBOOOb CD ALo 1llClAlllluLl III QUO, VI
which only about 100000 were avail
able in the field. In March, 1865,
the field force is stated to have been
about 100000 men.
''The mortality records in the Con-
federate Army are incomplete, but
figures based upon these incomplete
data show: Killed, 52.954; died of
wounds, 21,570, and died of disease,
59,297.
A table prepared by the surgeon
general of the Confederate Army
shows that one-third of the Confed;-
crate Army was killed on the field
of battle or died of wounds or dis
ease, and that a third was captured
and held as prisoners of war. The
military age of the Confederate
Army was IT to so.
I'm all during the Civil War the
North called to arms 2,320,272 men.
The report of the provost marshal
general for 1866 gives the total cas-
ualties of the Civil War at 912,0S3.
OF these 96,135 were killed or died
OF wounds. This aggregate of 912,-
OS3 includes killed, died of wounds,
of disease, accidentally killed, put to
death, honorably discharged, dis
missed, resigned, and all other causes
which produce discharge from the
service.
THE loans raised in the North
were $4,000, 100000. When the final
and total cost is considered, pen
sions, interest on war debt, and all
other charges incident to the war
are included, the Civil War is esti-
mated to have cost the United States
in round numbers $15,500, ,000,O 900 to
the year 1900.
Little, attention was paid to CEN
sorship in the Civil War, and the
conservation Of food, fuel and num-
erous other commodities was q
matter of purely individual or fam
lily concern and regulation.
How different in many respects
has been the war of 1917. At the
date of the signing of the armistice

organization sponsors such men as
James E. Lentz, the best recorder
Dauphin county ever had. who has
not only filled his office to the salts
faction of the voters, but has given
generously of his services in all
manner of war work; when it sup
ports such men as DR.. Henry M.
Stine and Charles c. Cumbler and
others like them for public office, it
commands the respect and conf
dence of the public. Take DR.. Stine
and Mr.. Cumbler, for example. The
formers war and patriotic service
record are too we'll known to re-
count. Both, as county commits
sioners, have been businesslike, hon
est and progressive. They have re-
duced the county debt by more than
$4,000; they have rebuilt bridges,
fathered good roads and other i'm
provements and have placed new
valuations on the upper end coal
lands. They have conducted them
selves worthily in office and have
won the right to second term.
Other county offices manned by or
ganization men have been equally
we'll managed.
So, when the organization now
places the stamp of it's approval on
a candidate there are many who ac-
cept it as the guarantee of a good
man. Mr.. largest is right in be-
lieving that an organization is neces-
sary for political success and that an
organization that puts good men into
office is sure to have the support of
a majority of the voters.

Furnishing the Dollar
[From New Haven Register1


In the session of the American
Bar Association marked by an un-
usual number of able and thought
full addresses, the discourse of Judge
Gary will commend itself as preg-
nant with common sense. At q mo-
ment in the country's industrial ca
reer when the need of an amicable
and sympathetic understanding be-
tween capital and labor is more Keen
ly to be desired than at any other
period, the situation is complicated
by an extraordinary GOODNESS. And
while labor is being supported from
many quarters in demands and poll
cies that are threatening the ef-
ficiency of our industries, capital Is
being marked with the mark of the
outlaw. Laws and regulations are
being proposed to hamper and
shackle it. The inevitable result,
as Judge Gary points out, will be
that it will finally be unable to func-
ton. And when capital ceases to
function our business and CONNER
cial enterprises by which we all live
will perish.
Now the point in all this toward
which Judge Gary's reasoning tended
is the error of failing to distinguish
between the dollar and those who
WELD it, between capital and the
capitalist. There can be no objection
by any honest business man to the
restraining of any capitalist in the
use of illegitimate business methods
or of predatory schemes. But in re-
straining the capitalist it is import
ant that capital be not impeded. The
dollar, as Judge Gary points out is
an absolutely innocent factor in busi-
ness. Yet laws and rules of business
conduct are proposed and are being
seriously considered in Congress
which have for the purposes not the
punishment of the vicious capitalist
but the gripping Of capital

JOHN MITCHELL

~ OVERNOR SPROUTS tribute
r to John Mitchell, on the occa-
sion of the noted labor leaders
funeral in Scranton yesterday, was
we'll deserved. Mitchell was one of
the country's really great leaders.
He was not only skilled organizer,
an able executive and an ardent be-
lever in the rights of labor, but he
was a man of sound judgment, tenn
perate thought and conservative ac-
ton. He made his reputation dur
ing the greatest anthracite strike in
the history of the country, but lie
was greater peacemaker than he
was strike leader. People, regard
less of their sympathies or station in
life, believe in his honesty of pur-
pose and trusted him.
Nothing better has been written of
his character, his life and the affec-
ton and respect in which he was
held than the following by his fell
lows of the New York State Indus
trial Commission, OF which he was
chairman:
In his death the members of the
commission have lost not only a
faithful friend but also an inspir-
ing leader wise counsellor and
an energetic administrator. Not
only the people of the State but
the people of the whole nation
have suffered a great loss in his
death. In his labors for the well
fare of his fellows he was un-
tiring. Sincerity of purpose and
sympathetic motive were the
guiding elements of his public
work. Essentially a man of peace,
he was a sturdy fighter in any
cause which he believed to be
right. He always sought to do JUS
tice. and the rights of all were
scrupulously regarded by him.

marks before a meeting at Middle
town Thursday evening as to why
he is urging the nomination of Re-
publican candidates supported by
the Republican organizations:
The issue to be determined at
the primary elections next Tues
day. aside from the personnel of
their fitness for the positions to
which they aspire, seems to be
whether the Republican voters of
this county will approve of the
present Republican organization.
No party can succeed without an
organization, and. therefore, l am
an Organization Republican. L
believe in supporting the organi-
cation until it has shown by mis-
management or otherwise that it
IS not entitled to support. SO far
as I am advised, the Republican
organization of Dauphin county
has been conducting the Republi-
can politics of this county fairly,
honestly and capably. and, there
: fore. for my part ] see no reason
why I should not support that or
ganization. provided the candi-
. dates recommended by it are cap
able Of filling the positions to
which they aspire,
Mr., Hargest's remarks are
worthy of more than passing con-
sideration. Always, about election
time, there are efforts to discredit
any candidate who has "organiza-
Eton" support, whether he be Re-
publican or Democrat, A studied
attempt is made to make the voter
believe that there is some stigma,
something dishonest, attached to po-
liticai organization, Yet a political
party can no more exist without or
ganization than can a business con-
cern, or q baseball team, or an
army, Imagine, for example, the
American Army in France meeting
the Germans without the most thor
eugh organization possible, Apply
lng the truth a little differently, it
was not until American organization
reached perfection and the German
organization showed signs of failing
that the Allies began to win de-
cisiYely. Nobody can deny that or

"KILL A RAT"

|VXTE HAVE had all kinds of rally
wv ing cries for public service
since the war began, but the
latest is by long odds the most
startling. Here it is: "KiI rat
for your country's sake" 1t is
promulgated in all earnestness by
the United States Health Service,
which has figured out that the rats
eat $1S0,00O,000 worth of foodstuffs
every year, which would go a long
way toward freeing us of the bur-
dens of war taxes if applied to that
purpose.
There are three kinds of rats in
the country, according to a little
booklet on the subject just issued by
the Government-the Norway, or
common brown rat, the common
black k>rat and the Alexandrian rat,
which is the Bolshevist of its spe-
cies, a nasty, dirty creature with
whiskers and a temper that would
turn a wildcat green with envy.
But you can kill them all the same
way and this is how:
BY starving him, through the
use of rat proo6 receptacles for
food and covered metal garbage
cans.
BY depriving him of breeding
| places, through the abolition of
planked yards and passageways.
by refusing him admission to

through rat proof construction

1 BY killing him at every oppor-
tunity.

more than 25 per cent. of the entire
male population between the ages of
Is and 81 were in the military serv-
ice. This represents growth in the
size of the Army in 10 months of
nearly twenty-fold; namely, from
1854 in March, 1917, to 3,664,000
in November, 1918. On April 1,
1917, the strength of the Army was
100000, and on November 1, 1918,
it was 1,672.000 in the United States
and foreign possessions and 1,993,-

Forces. Yet in a brief 10 months
more than 100000 men were mo-
bilized, housed, fully equipped with
munitions and supplies, and the ma
jor part of them given military
training that enabled them to op-
pose successfully the soldiers of the
most warlike of the European ma

"On October 10, 1918, American
troops held their greatest amount of
front line, holding 23 per cent, or
1923 kilometers of front, the Allied
total that time being 712 kilometers,
or about 425 miles.
Before the war the United States
had very small Army, spending a
few hundrd millions of dollars. In
the war the Army had to spend
100000, and these sums we're ex-
pended in such way that there
was no graft, very little waste and
almost no delay in payment. Nearly
half of this amount was spent to pay,
clothe and feed the Army. The re-
mainder was spent to purchase
equipment, munitions. transportation
and services for prosecuting the
war.
Americas total war expenses to-
tailed $23,363, 100000. We could
have, for the cost of this war, car
ried on the Revolutionary War for
1000 years.

Army of the United States. These
figures, of course, do not represent
