KA|SER'S NERVE
SHATTERED, SAY
HIS VISITORS
Former War Lord no Longer
Naughty and Dominant in
His Manner.
(By Associated Press)


AMERONGEN, Netherlands. April
17.-All who come into close connec.
ton with the former German emperor
these days are astonished at the
change which has come over his be-
havior in relation to people with whom
he Is brought into contact. His
naughty manner has disappeared. He
no longer takes 1t for granted that he
Is the supreme lord to whom all must
bow. Any service given to him, even
by the humblest gardeners in the EN-.
ploy OF Count Bentinck. Is rewarded
with apparently sincere thanks and
sometimes even with genuine hand
shake-a thing not looked for by the
highest Of his courtiers when he was
still at the height OF his power.
Three Hours at Saving
Virtually without exception he pass
es three hours every morning be-
tween breakfast and lunch at his vol.
untary task Of saving logs in the
grounds of the castle. The last ten
minutes OF each hour is given up to q
spell of rest, during which the lumber
man, once SO impeious, smokes a
light ctgaret. In the course of this

William HohenZollern starts smoking,
for the attendants still retain enough
OF their subjectivity not to dare to
take the lead. Then one OF the at
tendants discreetly draws a cigaret
case from his pocket, on seeing which
the former emperor often says, offer
ing his burning cigaret: Here you
are. Take light"
Soon all about him are smoking and
continue doing so until the ten-minute
interval is over and work begins
again. Oftentimes in these short rests

work walks about in the castle
grounds when the weather Is favor.
able, comes up to the place where
the wood saving Is done and a little
general chat ensues, botlrNHerr Hohen-
zollern and his wife putting questions
on all sorts of subjects to those in at
tendance.
Extremely TaIkative
AS rule, the former emperor Is
extremely laxative. He dwells great.
ly on happenings in Germany, both
past and present. Often he is in a
complaining mood, when he blames
all and sundry for what has occurred.
1t does not seem to enter his mind
that any of the fault lies with him.
At these times he expresses sorrow
for the asperity Of his utterances. On
other occasions-these are more rare
he closes up like q clam and not
word can be drawn from him.
He has everything he can possibly
require in the way Of creature CON-
forts, but without actually being i'm
prisoned. he is confined In a very small
area. for he has not dared since before
Christmas to put foot outside OF the
castle grounds, as he fears contact
with the outside world.

war RUINS SNAPPED
BY LOCAL SOLDIER

With the help of a handy camera,
Ned Y. McCrea, brother OF Mrs. John
Klus, of North G Street, has taken per-
manent views Of some Of the most i'm
pressive and significant of the war
remains"
81 am taking good many pictures"
he writes, WAS up to Hill 290 today.
1t is a historic place as there was
some very heavy fighting done there.
Though strongly fortified it was taken
by the Americans last September with
heavy losses to the Germans. l went
all through the place as 1t was tun-
nelled for miles in the hills where
quite number Of shafts have been
put down for more than 1000 feet I'M
der the ground. One place we went
down 833 steps, and with no bottom
yet in sight our lantern went out.
About then we decided that 1t was
time to get out while we could.
1.-THE tunnels are cut through solid
rock and not a bit Of blasting was
done to get them through. They
were simply cut out as we would cut
a monument out of piece Of marble.
There were many rooms in the place
both for officers and men. 1t was
easy to discriminate between the two.
however, as the officers rooms are
nicely and beautifully arranged with
all modern conveniences, baths with
hot and cold water, steam heat. etc.
There Is evidence that they used
very heavy machinery for lighting,
heating and pumping purposes.
"They had the place thoroughly
mined, and some mines were set to go
off as late as January 10. A great
amount Of dynamite and other high ex-
plosives were left and it was exceed
ingly dangerous to go through. Any
loose board. box or similarly innocent
looking spot was liable to be connect
ed with a mine.
''The ordnance department of the
American army set off quite guam
tity of this ammunition recently as
it was not at all safe to leave it. A
great hole was torn in the hill by the
explosion.
II went to the German prison camp
last week and snapped nine German
prisoners that had made their escape
and were recaptured and returned to
the prison and put on bread and water
diet for three days. All nine sleep
in a small tent about fourteen feet
long by four feet wide and three feet
high. Two of these prisoners had
been within two blocks of their homes
when captured by the French police.
Il also have a photo of some Ger
man guns showing how they were dis
abled before capture. They have
since shipped them away, and l I'M
derstand that they were sent to the
u. S. A. and placed in the different
parks"

partment to present the crying need
for helpon farms to sailors, especially
to those who have come from the
farming section. This class has
shown a tendency to try for jobs i'll
the larger centers of population. Mr..
Baily stated that in the middle west
sections the wages have been stand

BIG SHOE BILLS
CAN Be CUT.

Twill always wear shoes with Neolin
Solos," writes Mr.. M. Newman of the
/. Newman Mfg. Co. of Minneapolis.
'They are superior soles in every way,
waterproof, more comfortable and more
durable After many months of wear
they remain in good condition"
MIR. Newman, and millions of others,
have found that the answer to the shoe
bill problem lies in getting soles that
wear long time-Neolin Soles.
They are scientifically made, very
tough and yet have the other qualities
that soles should have-comfort and
absolute waterproofness. Get Neolin-
soled shoes for your whole. family:
They are found nearly everywhere and
in all styles. Have worn shoes re-

DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets-the subs,i.

almost instantaneous. They are the result
of Dr.. Edwards determination not to treat
liver and bowel complaints with calomel.
His efforts to Danish it brought out these
little oliVe-colored tablets.
These pleasant little tablets do the good
that calomel does but have no bad after
effects. They don't injure the teeth like
strong liquids or calomel. They take hold
of the trouble and quickly correct it. Why
cure the liver at the expense of the teeth?
Calomel sometimes plays havoc with the
gums. so do strong liquids. tits best not
to take calomel, but to let DR.. Edwards
