Kaiser Needs Monsy.-The former
German emperor, 1t Is learned from
competent sources, recently appealed to
the German revolutionary government
for money according to an Associated
Press dispatch from Weimar. It was
said in his behalf 1t was impossible
for him to continue living upon. the
bounty and good will Of the Dutch no.
bleman in whose castle he now resides.
Herr Hohenzollern, 1t Is said, de-
clares he already had been forced to
borrow 10000 guilders from his host
and could not continue as debtor. He
asked that he be- allowed at least a
portion Of his private fortune.
The government, after considering
the matter, agreed to his request and
instituted detailed investigation to
determine what portion Of the former
emperor's supposed fortune really was
his and what portion belonged to the
government. Investigation showed
the former ruler might legally claim
rs, 600, 900 marks as his own but the
government decided to allow him tenn
porarily only 100000 marks to meet
present indebtedness and future ex-
penses.
The correspondents information, In
calling attention to this development,
declared 1t put an end to rumors that
the former emperor had been able to
take large sums Of money with him
when he fled into Holland.

Lincoln Said.-Well, as to education.
the newspapers are correct. never
went to school more than six months
in my life. I can say this: That
among my earliest recollections I re-
member how, when mere child, used
to get irritated when anybody talked
to me in way that could not under
stand. I can remember going to my
little bedroom, after hearing the neigh
bors talk of an evening with my faith
er, and spending no small part Of the
time trying to make out what was the
exact meaning Of some Of their. to me,
dark sayings.
I could not sleep, although tried to,
when I got on such hunt for an idea
until I had caught 1t; and when I
thought 1 had got it was not salts
fed until 1 had repeated 1t over and
over again and had put 1t in language
plain enough, as I thought, for any
boy knew to comprehend. This was
kind of passion with me, and it was
stuck with me; for am never easy
now, when I am handling thought,
until I have bounded it north and
bounded it south and bounded It east
and bounded 1t west.

, and from work. Walk fast and breathe

| and from work. Walk fast and breathe
deeply.
The greatest mistake most Of us
make is in believing that the more we
eat the more strength we add to our
bodies and minds.
Excess foods Of certain types goes
to make excess fat, which is the worst
kind Of baggage. It takes strength to
carry this excess baggage around that
might better be used in productive ef-
fort-working. Some Of us become ia
tigued in carrying this excess baggage
around, and the result is that we don't
feel like working.
Most of the indisposition toward
work, and that tired feeling. are re-
suit of confusing stomach emptiness
with hunger.
The way most Of us eat, 1t would
take about ten days Of fasting to really
get hungry. Fill up the emptiness
with bulk fruits and vegetables and go
without a meal or two now and then
by filling up with water.
If any Of us don't feel like working
1t is a good plan to keep on working
and quit eating.
AS to what we eat, it is we'll to fol-
low our own instincts; that is, eat
what we want, or what agrees with US,
but cut down on the quantity Of con-
centrated foods.
The don't-feel-like-work feeling, or
just plain laziness, or fatigue after q
normal amount Of effort, simply means
that we have been using energy, that
might have been productive and profit
able, in digesting needless amounts Of
foods and in resisting poisons that are
generate,l by accumulated waste.

No Need for Prison.-After the Unit
ed States becomes bone-dry many
tails in the country may be in the same
case with the old log jail in Brown
county, Indiana, which had had no
compulsory tenant these seven years
and is to be preserved as a curio. The
Brown county Jail was built in 1887,
good and solid," according to the re-
cord, for the handsome sum of SITS,
and the last prisoner was his own
jailer. Sentenced for some petty Of
fense, the keys were handed over to
him and he went out every day to
work and came back every night to
lock himself up. During this incarce-
ration he also acted as jailer for two
other petty offenders serving shorter
terms. This sounds like comic opera,
but so it was.

German Stronghold to be Cleared o'
Defenses.

Defenses.
The final armistice conditions which
the supreme council Is considering
says London correspondent will be
made public before the end Of the
month, according to various newspa-
pers, and they will include among the
naval conditions the demolition Of the
forts on Helgoland and the Kiel canal,
the surrender for purposes Of destruc
ton of the German warships now in
termed and the opening Of the Kiel ca
nal for civil transports. 1t is stated
that Germany will be left with feet
large enough for defensive purpose.
The naval correspondent of The
Daily Mail, writing Of the strong forti-
fications on the Island Of Helgoland
says:
1.-THE summit of the island Is one I'm
mense bomb proof, and the batteries
are so placed as to be invisible from
the sea. The heavy guns there-11
inch and 12 inch weapons-probably
were reinforced during the war by
Is inch guns. The guns are mounted
on steel turrets of great thickness. All
the batteries and observation posts are
connected by subterranean passages and
the roads leading up to them run along
galleries which are shell proof.
"The guns are mounted after the
usual German fashion so as to give
them an immense range, probably
from 10 to IL IL miles. To enable
the island to stand the concussion
of their discharge and resist fire di-
rected against 1t, 100000 pounds
is said to have been spent before 1910,
and subsequently other large sums
were allotted.
1.-THE immense seaplane sheds are
said to have been Of the disappearing
type, which could be lowered as a
protection against long range fire.
There are store shops and repair
works with all the usual equipment of a
naval base. The Notifications pre-
sumably will be blown up, but their
destruction will be no easy business.
They are of armored concrete and
steel, and very large quantity OF e3-
plosives will be required.
"The Notifications at each entrance
to the Kiel canal are Of immense
strength and are lavishly supplied
with the heaviest guns in steel tur-
rets."

Times Change and Men Change With
Then,.-One hundred and forty years
ago, artist Charles Wilson Peale
painted the portrait of General Wash
ington that President Wilson, the 9TH
er day, unveiled at 10 Downing street
London; and how remarkable is the
sequence of historic events that has
placed this particular portrait in a
building that is held to be the center
of the British government! The por-
trait crossed the ocean in 1880 with
Henry Laurens, who was bound on a
mission to Holland; but the vessel was
captured, by Captain George Keppel
of the British navy. Laurens went to
the tower until he was exchanged for
CORVALLIS; the discovery of his mis-
sion led to war between England and
Holland: the portrait Of Washington
remained in the. Keppel family until
it was presented to the British gov
ernment, when the United States en-
tered the world war.

Now in the Bread Line.-Baron Won

Now in the Bread Line.-Baron Won
der Lancken, formerly German civil
governor Of Belgium, writes an Asso-
,iated Press correspondent from The
Hague, sought refuge in Holland when
the Germans retreated from Belgium.
Won der Lancken was the man to
whom the American minister, Brand
Whitlock, delivered his vain appeal to
spare the life Of Edith Cavell, the Eng
lish nurse who was executed by the
Germans in October, 1915, for aiding
the British, French and Belgains SOL
diers to escape from Belgium. Won
der Lanchen then told Hugh Gibson
secretary Of the American legation
that the sentence imposed by the mill
tary governor on Miss Cavell was final
and that the civil governor could not
overrule 1t.
When Won der Lancken arrived here
he went to the German legation, but
in order to obtain food cards, he had
to apply to the police station where ne
failed miserably in his efforts to obtain
preferential treatment as "distin-
guished visitor" A chance caller there
found him in line with group OF un-
washed refugees, his well-groomed fis-
ure out of keeping with his surround
ings. He was compelled to stand IN line
for two hours before his wants were
attended to.
To one who remembers the time
when to get a word from Won der
Lancken in Brussels it was necessary to
give two days notice, after which one
had to struggle through bodyguard
of naughty, suspicious underlings, the
spectacle Of this exquisite specimen OF
Prussian junkerdom waiting his turn
in the file amid the grimy proletariat
afforded an excellent illustration OF
"the times that are changed"

ART WORKS RECOVERED.
French Get Back Many Masterpieces
That Germans Carried Away.

That Germans Carried Away.
Great anxiety, writes Paris corre-
spondent has been felt during the
whole course Of the great conflict for
the invaluable artistic treasures which
for four long years were exposed in
the nortl Of France to the devastation
Of war. For the museums Of north
ern France were amongst the richest
Of the country. even Of Europe. and
were consequently tempting prey for
German official connoisseurs.
The museum of Lille was, perhaps,
most badly treated by the Germans. It
contained masterpieces signed by Ru-
bens, Frans Halls, Van Dyck, Jordaens,
Garard David, Goya, Chardin, Frago-
nard. All these works were transported
to Valenciennes, as well as several
hundred drawings by Mantegna, Giot-
to, Poussin, Corregio, Andrea del Sar-
to and Michael Angelo. These deport-
ed masterpieces were soon rejoined by
the pictures which had been the pride
Of the museum Of Douai; works by van
der Weyden, Rubens, Holbein van
der Goss, Antonio Moro. followed by
the rare MSS. Of the archives Of Laon.
were soon stored near the artistic
spoils Of Lille. Happily they have now
been discovered; at the approach Of
the British troops, the Germans had
hastily sent them on to Brussels in
barges, which were abandoned by the
army Of the former kaiser at La Ca
pelle-au-Bois.
Fortunately the Germans had in
trusted the safety Of these master
pieces to M. Plevet Of vaienciennes,
who had also undertaken to watch
over the art treasures Of his native
city during their forced journey to
Brussels. With much difficulty he sue
ceeded in getting the barges safely
towed to Brussels, with their precious
contents, in spite Of the intense disor-
sanization of the retreating German
army; and 1t Is characteristic Of the
Germans that on several Of the largest
cases was inscribed the name and ad-
dress Of Prince Rupprecht of Bavaria!
The art treasures Of the north are safe.
Even the celebrated pastels Of Latour.
which were the glory Of the museum
of st. Quentin, have been recovered.
whilst the Quentin Matsys Of Bruges
were found in a secret cellar In which
they had been hidden. The French
government is taking the necessary
measures for returning the vagrant
works Of art to their original museums.
and it is hoped that the magnificent
works Of Shongauer which belonged to
the Colmar museum will soon be re-
stored by Bavaria, where they are, 1t
is said, one of the finest ornaments Of
the Munich museum!
