Won Hindenburg and Gros-

BERLIN, Saturday, April 5.-(By
the Associated Press) .-Wh1le ad-
hitting there was a difference of
opinion among German generals as
to the practicability of fighting to
maintain the imperial regime in NO
vember, Count Schulenberg, COM
mander of a guards regiment, main
tains in an article on the abdl-
cation Of Emperor William, publish
ed in the Freiheit, that there were
enough loyal troops to have marched
on AiX-la -Chapelle and Cologne and
put down the revolution. The count
says that Field Marshal Won Hin
uenburg and General Groener, Prus-
sian war minister, would not assume
the responsibility for such a move,
however, arguing that things had
gone too far and that only the alb
dication of former Emperor William
could save the situation. The en-
claring he did not desire a civil
war and that he would not call upon
the army to engage. in such CON
flict.
Internal conditions becoming
worse, William at length agreed Ito to
cate as emperor, but not as kng
of Prussia. Field Marshal Won Hin
denburg Endorsed this course, but
in tine opinion Of General Groener,
it was too late, although 1t might
have saved the situation two weeks
earlier. In the meantime there came
runiors from Berlin Of the imnt-
nence of civil war and street fight
ing was actually begun there. III
nally the imperial chancellor tele-
graphed that civil wal. might break
out at any moment if the abdica
ton was not announced at once.
Hurried conferences were held ~
the emperor, the crown prince and
the leading generals, the article says.
One of the commanders asserted
there was a feeling among the gen
erals that the entire army could not
be depended upon in case of civil
war.
To this Count Schulenberg says
he replied:
NO soldier. would break his oath
to the colors."

PATRIOTIC GEORGIA BOY STOPS :.
GERMAN OPERA IN NEW YORK CITY

of every one was pasted another bear
ing some very pointed question, Some
of which were:
Have we had enough German kul-
tur? Have our boys lost enough OF
their lives and their limbs? Are, we
to permit this most outrageeaas and
unpatriotic act while we areestill at
war with Germany? Get together.
you Americans and stop the spread
Of German propaganda in America"
1t wasn't long before thousands of
sailors and soldiers in New York
fell into line. The big newspapers
began to feature young McRae and
headlines; organizations by the score
passed scathing resolutions of pro-
test against German operas being
given; the American Defense socie-
ty joined in, but still the German OPP
era producers merely announced that
This was another mistake on their
part for McRae and his followers had
made up their minds that the operas
were not to be given. They got to-
gether for the battle, and on the
night that the operas were scheduled
to begin were at the Lexington Ave-
nue. opera house with two brass
bands and true American spirit and
determination to force entrance into
the house and play the Star Spangled
Banner throughout the performances.
On the outside of the house huge
signs were stretched, crippled and
disabled soldiers from overseas
standing by them. The signs read:
IF you will pass through this line
of wounded men to see German opera,
pass on
The soldiers and the sailors sent
kilograms of protest to the governor
of the state, who declared he had no
power to act to stop the perform
ance. Then McRae carried a hur-
riediy gotten up petition of several
thousand names to Mayor Hy1an de-
handing that the performances
should not be given. Red hot edito-
rails and speeches from the stage by
noted actors were adding fresh fuel
to the public indignation, and Nc
was ready to fight the whole OF New
York City's police force if necessary,
So Mayor Hylan decided it was time
to interfere. An hour or SO after re-
ceiving the petition, the Would-be
producers of German opera announc-
ed that "at the request of Mayor
Hylan," the season would be indetl-
nitely postponed.
So instead of fighting "McRae's

Change at the KearneysvilIe Creamery.

There has been a change of manage
ment at the Kearneysville Creamery.
At a meeting of the board of directors
Tuesday night R. R. Hoge was elected
manager in place Of E. Stanley Halter,
who has been in charge of the creamery
since its establishment a couple OF
years ago. Mr.. Hoge is an expert in
milk and dairy products who has been
in the service Of the government and
has been working in West Virginia in
connection with the experiment station
at Morgantown. He is well qualified
for the management OF the creamery.
and it is expected that under his d.
rection il will become more of sue
cess than ever. This plant is paying
out to the farmers and dairymen of this
community about $4,000 a month for
milk and cream, so its importance as
an agricultural industry may be readily
seen. II is hoped that milk producers
will give it their fullest cooperation.
