CORFU, December 30-(Associated
Press Correspondence If William
Hohenzollern, the former German
Emperor, should try to spend the
remnant of his career on the Island
OF Corfu, as some recent reports in
Dictated, he would not be received by
the natives with any great show of
hospitality or cordially. The villa
here which he last occupied in the
summer of 1914 and which he owned,
is now used as a military hospital
and floats the French flag. Even the
especially built dock on which he was
accustomed to land is now used for
military purposes.
The Greek and Serbian population,
many of whom are refugees, realize
well the misery and suffering that
Hohenzollern caused the world ana
are in no mood to receive him even
as temporary visitor.
"Achillion Palace, his villa, stands
high up on the rocky coast of Corfu
amid a wealth of cypress trees and
overlooks the picturesque Ionian Sea,
The s~now-capped mountains of AL
bania are only a short distance away
The villa has been occupied lately Ey
a number of disabled Allied soldiers,
including an American sailor from
Brooklyn. When the Associated Press
correspondent visited it the other day
the funeral of a United States Naval
officer, Ensign Young of Der,oit, Mi
chigan, who died of pneumonia con
tracted while on duty, was being held
just outside the villa gates and the
simple casket, draped with the Stars
and Stripes, was being lowered in its
resting place on the sunlit side of me
sloping mountain.

Air Tank In Garage
Takes High Air Trip
Continued from Page One.)

to run to the switch to stop the mo
tor which was still running, before
it got back to earth.
Several persons outside the build
ing who claim to have seen the tank
start on its awaiting stunt, declare
that it went so high that it seemed
about the size of a base ball before
1t started to come down.
The explosion created considerable
excitement in the neighborhood and
damage amounting to several hundred
dollars. A window in the Waikiki
Hardware & Grocery Co. store was
jerked outward by the air conclusion
and goods on the shelves inside top
pied down. The tank took off a Sec
ton of the garage roof in its ascent
and smashed in another big section
on the opposite side of the building
when it came down.
Narrow Escapes
James Makakoa, a %vulcanizer in the
garage, was the only man to receive
a scratch from the accident, and his
injuries consist only of a slight cut
on the side of the head from a splint-
er of wood. He had his injury dress
ed and resumed his wOrk.
John Wainau, another employee,
escaped death almost by a matter of
inches, so close to him did the tank
fall in its descent. Joe GARLIC, work
ing at a lathe within five feet of
where the tank stood, was knocked
down, as were the others, but aside
from being slightly stunned was un-
hurt.
Supposed To Be Tested
The tank, which had been put in
new only a year or two ago, was sup
posed to have been tested and guar
anteed for 200 pounds pressure. 1t
is claimed that there could not have
been over $50 pounds pressure on it
at the time. The tank was used for
storing air for Initiating auto tires.

High Tide for the Bruiser.

Within the easy memory OF man prize fight
ing was prescribed occupation. Its followers
were compelled to shun the sheriff, and prac-
ticed their trade in secrecy, frequently spend
ing considerable post-meeting time in durance
vile. But the world do move, and behold the
pugilist, now transformed into a big business
man.
He is exploited with such fanfare of pub
lcity as might please the most puissant of po-
tentates, his daily downsittngs and uprisngs
are chronicled with detail as meticulous as ever
bestowed on an empress and her court. No So
ciety queen draws in her train so large con-
course of the curious; no Snowman ever beheld
eager spectators vieing to pay for tickets such
sums as are offered for the privilege of viewing
from afar the progress of the affair that is set
for next Friday.
A prncely fortune awaits each of the burly
boxers, no matter which one wins, while the
promoters Of the affair look ahead to profits
equally munhcent. All this while the thrifty
burghers of the community where the perform
ance is to take place are garnering a rich har-
vest from the multitudes who throng the city,
idly spending easy money while they discuss
the proves of the principals and wager on the
issue Of the meeting. News of the peace con-
ference is crowded out of its first page i'm
portance by accounts of the preparation being
made, the record of the varying opinions of self
denomnated experts, and public excitement is
brought to fever pitch.
Rome never packed the Coliseum with a
mob so mad as that which will gather at To-
ledo, nor has the world witnessed anything like
the lunacy inspired by this event. 1t is more
than the apotheoss Of the pugilist; it is the
sublmation of national damfoolishness.

Will the Kaiser Be Tried?

The offer of DR.. Won Bethmann Hollweg,
former imperial chancellor of the German en-
pre- to take on himself all blame for starting
the war; coupled with the confident assertion
of Dutch newspaper that the allies will not
ask Holland to surrender the refugee Hohenzol-
lern, arouses little curiosity. In the treaty
of peace just signed the personal guilt of the
ex-kaiser is alleged, and his extradition is
asked, that he may be put on trial before an in
ternational court. The Dutch paper argues that
the entente will be satisfied with the publca-
ton of the ex-kaiser's moral guilt, and the
imposition of sentence that he be forever de-
posed. 1t is possible that this conclusion is
not warranted. Grave question has been raised
as to whether the late emperor of Germany can
be put on trial for offenses committed in his
official capacity. 1t is held that as private
citizen he is both morally and legally absoved
from the acts Of the government of which he
was head. Dissent from this view is taken by
many who have given the matter close atten-
ton, they holding that legal as we'll as moral
guilt is personal Especially does this view at
tach to an autocrat whose acts are not subject
to review by another branch of the govern
ment. The moral guilt of the former despot
Germany can not be gainsaid and his personal
responsibility ought to be established, if only
as precedent

How About the GARAGE?

Henry Ford is reported to have in mind the
construction of a gasoline buggy" which will
be still less expensive than any he has ever per-
petrated. He is not the only automobile manu-
facturer who has in mind tremendous expan-
sion in the production of this form of vehicle.
Recently it was discovered that the highly
paid ship workers who had occupied certain
charming little homes in the government built
village of Hilton. near Newport News, Va, were
storing their automobiles on the front porches
of their houses, the design Of the village not
having included either public or private garages
1t is obvious that these machines must be
stored. 1t is desirable, probably, that they be
stored close to the homes of the owners Many
instances come to the mind of anyone of how
the cheap garage has been introduced into the
back yard, destroying the little garden, and
looking in the city no less uncomfortable and
inappropriate than boil on the owners nose!
Yet with the great housing movement necessar-
lily going forward in the United States, it is not
noticed that the architects and the town plan
ners have yet realized the necessity for provid-
ing adequately for the automobile. None of
the new government pro- ects, admirable in
storage beyond the provision of location for
public garages. The automobile is still archi-
tecturaly considered as luxury, possession
of the wealthy man, despite the fact that 6,000,-
600 gasoline propelled machines use American
streets and roads.
1871 l IL Imc LOT the aTCHlteClS ana Town
planners to become aware that these 100000
automobiles in the nation will soon be doubled
in quantity and must be stored, and that they
must be parked" when away from the garage,
some part of every day?
We are paying much attention to the looks
of our towns, but unless we consider this mat
ter of the location and character of the garage
in connection with the location and character
OF the house. all our town planning may fail to
give us the adjunct of beauty and good order
so desirable. To neglect provision for the ga
rage in connection with town planning is only
little less neglectful than to continue to over
look the street traffic and street parking" prob
lens.
Let US wake up the architects and the town
planners by demanding that each of them in his
work accept the possibility that every wage
Garner whose income exceeds $1,000 year is
likely to own an automobile within the next
five years, which must have room to run and to
stand and be conveniently stored when not in
active use.-J. Horace Mcfarland, President

HYpRo.ELEcrRIc POWER.

Advocates of national development of hydro
electric power seem to have their long fight
nearly won. The prospect for general measure
passing congress is better now than ever before
What remains is to determine if the expectations
OF the champions of white coal" will be real
lied. No one has questioned the feasibility OF
turning water power into electricity. In the
western mountain regions Of the country mil
lions Of horsepower are going to waste. As long
as the sun shines, the Pacific ocean rolls and the
mountains stand, just that long will cascades
tumble or c-taracts roar down the cliffs ant tun1-
Bile through the gorges. These are potential
sources of energy only needing to be harnessed
to be made of possible service.
Here comes the greatest question of all.
How is the power to be distributed to the user?
Already on the western coast industry is amply
supplied with hydro-eectrc current and in
many places it is actually allowed to waste.
Seattle and Tacoma, for excnple, have a sur
plus while San Francisco and Portland have all
that can be economically used. In the east, where
the great power-usng industrial plants are To-
Gated, current is generated through steam or
other engines almost if not quite as cheaply as
by water. Before the price of fuel took the
great upward turn electric power was created
by engines in many places for less money than
at the great Keokuk plant.
The question of getting the current to the
market is yet to be answered When the time
comes that electricity can be safely and
economically transported, it will be the power.
Until that time, its successful competition with
the steam or internal combustion engine will be
possible only in such regions as are fortuitously
within easy reach of reliable water fall. Pas
sage of the Esch the Jones, the Lenroot, or any
Of the other measures now before congress,
will have the effect OF encouraging develop
ment, for it will largely eliminate the danger
Of monopolization of great natural resouce,
but the element of delivery Of product will re-
main the controlling factor in the problem

Omaha's Rotten Police.

should be commended by every law
abiding citizen who has the we'll be-

lives at heart. Mr.. Editor, you are
laying bare the fostering sore that
aff1icts the Omaha city government
The Bees expose of the gambling
outfit on the Patterson show grounds
under the eyes of the police officers
goes to show that they got hush
money to protect this grambling out
fit. Concerning the Detention home
for women, the same methods were
used and according to the confess
sion of one Of the inmates they were
let out for a price. Another Wo-
man of the underworld stated that
she paid tribute to the police Off
GERS for protection, and now we
come to the last act, the invasion
of Mrs. Thomas Browns home with
out a warrant at o'clock a. m.
The officer who arrested her per-
sisted in staying in the room while
she put on her clothes until her son
came and kicked the brute out. The
boy smelled liquor on him; there is
no doubt he was drung, for there is
no sober man with any self-respect
who would do such thing. This
good Christian lady was taken to
Jail without bail. The girls who
lived in Mrs. Browns fiat were taken
to Jail also without a warrant. This
is an outrage on justice. At the trial
the police failed to prove their
charge and the court dismissed the
defendants. They let Kelly get away;
they didn't want him. He knew too
much. This is the man who, with
two officers, helped to carry out the
frame-up to defame the character
Of Mrs. Brown and those two girls.
What their object was no one
knows. These acts of delinquency
in the police department of Omaha
are by men who swore to uphold anr
execute the laws, who turn round
and perjure themselves and lose the
respect of their fellow men.
After all the evidence The Bee has
brough to light, law-abiding citi-
zens can come to but one conclusion
that the police department is rot
ten to the core and needs cleaning
out from top to bottom. In fact,
Mayor Smith confirms this view in
his letter to the Board of Commits
sioners, although he didn't intend
this for publication. We need more

Keep the Desirables

Something ought to be done to dissuade the
million or more men of foreign birth, some of
them naturazed citizens and most of them in
dustrious, law-abiding. from going home to
their native lands. A great exodus OF this kind
is expected, once peace is established, because
these men think that conditions in the home
land are better now than they were before the
war-better for them because they have saved
up in each individual case hundreds, possibly
thousands, of dollars during their residence in
this country and are prepared to make the most
of the opportunities and very unusual advan-
tages which the possession of money is sup
posed to give where men of their station rarely
have so much accumulated wealth.
This means the loss of much needed labor,
and the sudden withdrawal of many millions of

immigration. which has been reduced to prac-
tically nothing during the war; We are, how
ever, at the beginning OF an era OF expansion
These laborers will be needed more than ever

Indeed, conditions are so unsettled in many of
the European states that they can have no guar
antee that they may not be walking into liabil-
ity for military service instead OF fancied
chances for financial and social advancement
Perhaps the government might restrict the
removal OF the large sums of money from the
country and retard the migration by arbitrary
regulations; but it would be better to educate
the desirable element of this foreign popula-
ton to consider carefully the wisdom of the
proposed return to the old country. 1t may
