JULY 1 ID HELP
 MEXICAN CITIES

Laredo Texas, : ~riI 1O.-Whether Mexican cities along the border will becomes bases for international drinkers when America adopts pro hibttion in July has not been deter mined, despite some Ieanings in the direction.
 A movement recently was started to have passport restrictions removed, throw open the international bridge and run weekend excursion trains in to Mexico. It was proposed to es- tahlish big gambling houses, cockpits, hull-rings and pretentious drinking cnlporiums. American business men vigorously protested on the ground that the trains passing through American towns would bring only reputation for Iawlessness.
 The Mexican government has not indicated it's attitude in the matter and seems disposed to let the liquor problem solve itself. Local officials are represented as not wishing to deny their citizens profits that Amer ican prohibition might bring.
 Mexican cantineros have thrived in the year that Texas cities have been dry under the Texas military zone law. Passport regulations permit per sons living within ten miles of the border to pass from one country to the other on 8 local permit. Many American residents visit Mexican towns daily to obtain drink. Ameri- can authorities have prevented snug gIing of liquor into the United States
 Medical authorities predict that un- restricted border traffic would have a serious effect on the arny's campaign against disease.
 All suspicious Visitors from Mexi- co are searched by customs officers for contraband lsGuor. As a result of this strict supervision. mezcaI, a highly intoxicating Mexican drink that formerly sold for 50 cents 2 quart, now brings S1O q quart here when obtainable from illegal deal CTS.

KAISER ACTING

Anerongen, Netherlands, Apr. TO- -CCorrespondence of The Associated Press) s)-AU who come into close con- nection with the former German Elm peror these days are astonished at the change which has come over his behavoir In relation to people with whom he Is brought iAto contact. His naughty manner has disappeared. Ha no longer takes It for gra nted that he is the supreme lord to whom all must bow. Any service given to him, even by the hUmblest of gardeners in the employ of Count Bentinck, is re- warded with apparently sincere thanks and sometimes even with a genuine hand shake-a thing not looked for by the high st of his cour- tiers when he was stlll at the height of his power.
 Virtually without exception, he passes three hours every morning be- tween breakfast and lunch at his vol untary task of saving logs in tho grounds of the castle. The last ten minutes of each hour is given to a spell of rest. during which the Ium- herman, once so imperious smokes a light cigarette. In the course of this interval - heartily welcomed by his " AO caof2It-l5 IILtt OlileI Glitl of the double-handled saw now used William Hohenzouern starts smolz- ing, for the attendants still retain enough of their subjecttvity not to dare to take the lead. Then one of the attendants discreetIy draws a cig- arctic case from his pocket, on see- ing which the former Emperor often says. offering his burning cigarette: Here you are. Take 8 light"
 Soon all about him are smoking and continue doing so until the ten minute interval Is over and work begins again. Oftentfmes in these short rests the former Empress who, during the work walks about in the castle grounds when the weather is favorable, comes to the place where the wood saving is done and a little general chat ensues, both Herr Ho- honZollerr and his wife putting ques- tions on all sorts of subjects to those in attendance.
 As Q rule, the former Emperor ts extremely taIkative. He dweus great ly on happenings in Germany, hoth past and present. Often he is in Fl complaining mood. when he planes all and sundry for what has occur red It does not seem to enter his mind that any of the fault lies with him. At these times he expresses sor- row for the asperity of his utterances. On other occasions-theEe are moro rare-he closes up like a clam and not a word can be drawn from him.

STRANGE ROMANCE OF THE
 MOTHER OF NAPOLEON HI.


 In the calendar of the French inperialists, the tenth of April com I1emorates the birthday of the beau tlful but frau Queen Hortense of Hol- land. the daughter of Empress Jose phine by her first husband, Alexandre Eeauharnais.
 Hortense Eugenie BeaUharnais was born in Paris l36 years ago today. April 10, 17S3. It was shortly after IEis that her father and mother fin ally separated, Josephine being grant ed by the courts the permanent pos session of Hortense. In 17SS the fu- ture Empress took her little daughter to Martinique, where they remained two years. During the revolution Josephine displayed her democracy by placing Hortense with a dress maker to learn the trade. Hortenss remained with friends when her fatn- CT and mother were cast into prison. The Viscount de Beauharnais was eN- ecuted, but Josephine y@as released soon afterward, and contrived to sup port herself and her son and daugh- ter by entering into relations with two men of wealth and position. After Josephine's marriage to Bonaparte she continued her flirtations, and set an example which her daughter, Hor- tense was not slow to follow when she attained young womanhood.
 Hortense was eighteen when she became the bride of Louis Napoleon She was deeply in love with another
 man, but gave him up in compliance with the wishes of Napoleon, who ap- parentIy had for her 8 sincere and deep affection. From 1906 to 1910 Louis Napoleon and Hortense occu- pied the throne Of Holland. Queen HorteGse was q fascinating, brilliant woman, but she knew not the mean ing of the word virtue. She enter tained a deep disgust for her royal husband and openly defied him in her amours. As Tickle as she was fair, she had dozen lovers. Prom inent in this procession was the Com te de Flahaut, for whom Hortense composed her popular song, 'Partant pour h Syrie," as he was leaving Paris for Germany. It is a fact that in moments Of candor Hortense boasted that she was not sure ot fhe paternity of her children. although
 confident that her husband was not
