Last May after the scandal of the
Empress Zita's letter to her brother
in Belgium had blown over and
when, as you will remember, Ger
manys great drives toward the
heart of France were in full swing,
Kaiser Bill made one more move to
detach one of the allies from the
entente. He wrote a personal letter
to King Albert of Belgium wherein
he pledged as reward of a separate
peace to cut slice from northern
France, including the cities of Lille,
Armentieres and Dunkirk and add
this territory to Albert's domain.
The letter also promised full repair
alton to Belgium for all damage
done during the invasion, and per-
manent protection of the, kingdom
against any efforts at revenge the
French or English might make.
Entrusted to Diplomat.
| This letter was entrusted to a
German diplomat who at one time
had represented the empire at Brus-
sells. From Switzerland this ennis
sary of evil managed to get word of
his desire for meeting through to a
certain Baron X, who held a po-
sition of confidence in Albert's ex-
lied government at Harve.
Now, the baron was not a traitor,
he simply was indscreet-even
those who condemn him most do
not go further in their judgment.
Baron X went to Switzerland, met
the former German diplomat, who
once had been a close intimate of
his before the war, and received
from him the autographed letter
from Wilhelm to Albert.
Whether or not Baron X was full
ly informed as to the contents of
that letter is not known; the kind
est thing to believe is that he was
not. He took the letter to King AL
bert, then living in cottage at La
Panne, in that pitifully narrow strip
of his kingdom not oevrrun by Ger
man hordes.
Hun Triumph Seemed Assured.
Consider the problem that letter
from Wilhelm placed before the
king of the Belgians. This was in
May; the British Fifth army already
had broken and the British lines
pushed far back in the March
drive; farther east the French had
suffered a great reverse, and from
the forest of ST. Gobain the great
gun was bombarding Paris; the al
lfes were in straits which have not
been fully admitted to this day. A
German triumph seemed assured.
And here was an opportunity to
make peace-not with honor, but
with proft-perhaps the only peace
with profit any of the allies would
be able to secure.
j. Tore Letter to Bits.
The exiled king of the Belgians
read the letter from Wilhelm and
tore it into bits. Then he summoned
the bearer of that letter before him.

BUILDERS DO NOT
AGREE ON A FIXED
MATERIAL PRICE
President Of Chicago Lumber
Co. Favors Meeting to Set
Omaha Building Pro-
gram in Operation.

Building tradesmen disagree on
the wisdom of holding a meeting to
set the lowest plane of prices on
building materials.
Moshier G. Colpetzer, president
of the Chicago Lumber company,
who advocates such a meeting in or
der to set Omaha's building program
in operation. Monday interviewed
half a dozen leaders in the building
industry, with scant success.
They are not very enthusiastic
about it," said Mr. Colpetzer.
we cannot get any unanimity OF
opinion on the advisability of hold
ing such meeting" sid w. w. Car
michael of Dietz Lumber company.
A slight decrease in the profit on
lumber would not have much effect
on the building program in Omaha,
according to Mr.. Carmichael.
Mere Small Decrease.
ut wouldn't be a big enough de-
less all the building trades made a
concerted effort to reduce their pro-
fits, it wouldn't affect the amount
of building at all" he said.
1--WE don't look for any decided
slump in prices. Any readjustment
of prices will have to come grad
ually. We have no reason to be-
lieve there will be any large or i'm
portant decline in prices soon; the
situation today is the same as it was
two months ago. Therefore some
of the building material men see no
necessity for holding the meeting,
Both men said they had not given
up the idea of "focal readjustment
congress" and would continue to
push the matter the best they could.
Meanwhile realtors continue their
assertions that they cannot afford
to build in Omaha at the present
cost of lumber and other materials.

Shortly after dark Monday evening
Mrs. David Campbell, wife of the well
known Orangeburg merchant, went in
to her husbands store, which adjoins
her residence to get some supplies
for breakfast Tuesday. When she en-
tered the store and struck a match,
she noticed that one of the lamps had
been moved from its accustomed place
but going to the location of another,
she lighted 1t and Immediately heard
a noise in the back of the store. When
she looked up man came running
from the rear of the store and jumped
through the. screen door at the side
of the building into the yard.
Mrs. Campbell sounded an alarm
and the police at Maysville were noti-
fed. They Immediately conferred
with Mr.. Campbell and ordered the
Manchester blood hounds brought to
the scene at once.
Just as soon as the dogs arrived at

where the man was seen to jump from
the building. They followed the trail
out the Mt. Carmel pike some several
miles and into the yard of home but
there the trail was lost and the officers
were unable to make any arrests.
After making a careful investigation
Mr.. Campbell said that he missed
nothing but about seventeen dollars
in money from the cash drawer. The
thief left the building so quickly that
he could carry nothing from the stock
of goods with him.
1t is understood that the officers
have certain young man in that sec

an arrest may be expected at most
any time.
