frontiers, declared George NicOll
Barnes, labor representative on the
British peace delegation. in discussing
the proposal to prohibit immigration
into the United States for some years
after the signing of the peace treaty.
European labor, he said, was strongly
opposed to such Il law, although it was
unable TO prevent it's passage.
The European labor market Mr..
Barnes pointed out, was full, while the
field of employment in the United
States hardly had been scratched over.
Mr.. Barnes said he thought a prOvi-

plOyment of emigrants before they en-
bark for foreign land.

Kaiser Suffering
From Ever Growing
Nervous Excitement

AMEROGEN, May 15,-An off.
cial abstract of the preliminary peace
terms published in the Dutch news
papers which was re-translated and
read to the former German emperor
today, has aroused considerable ex-
citement among the members of the
Hohenzollen party.
An inkling concerning what the
entente intended to do in connection
with bringing William Hohenzollern
to trial had reached the German of
fcials earlier in the week. They
communicated the information to the
former empress, who displayed signs
of marked emotion, but decided to
await the official report before max
ing the news known to her husband.
A special messenger motored to
Arnhem Thursday to procure copies
Of the local newspapers, Meanwhile
he former emperor continued his
usual occupation of saving logs, but
apparently he is suffering from ever
growing nervous excitement. His
saw worked as never before, and his
physician, DR.. Forester, who assist
I'd him, was completely exhausted at
lunch time.
How the former emperor took the
news the correspondent was unable
70 ascertain, as every one in the cas-
tie is sworn to secrecy regarding hap
oenings. Rumors were circulated in
the village that he attempted to com
NIT suicide by hanging, but these are
considered canards.
