WELCOME WAITS
KAISER BILL AT
ST. HELENA isle

WASHINGTON, July 22.-"St.
Helena, the island whose speciality is
the entertainment of deposed mon
archs, has good economic reasons for
it's reported desire to have the Kaiser
for a prisoner" says bulletin from
the National Geographic society's
Washington headquarters.
"Napoleon was it's most famous
and best paying guest though not
the only one. Dinizulu, Zulu king,
was a more recent exile; sent there
after he led a rebellion against. the
British during the Transvaal in 1889.
While Napoleon was at st. Helena,
'profteering' at the expense of the
Bonaparte household, the numerous
members of the garrison sent to guard
him, was reduced to fine art by the
island citizens.
'In fact it was the high cost of
st. Helena living which created part
of the friction between Napoleon and
the British governor of the island,
Sir Hudson Lowe. Instead of living
within the 5000 pounds sterling al
lowed for maintenance of Bonaparte
and the half hundred members of his
encourage, the bills for year mount
ed to three times that sum. Upon
complaint of the governor, which
Napoleon resented, the eX-monarch
executed a last bit of play to the
galleries by ordering his silver sold
and his bed broken up for wood,
which, when reported in England
created so much criticism of the gov
ernor, already none too popular, that
further remonstrances were not
made.
''Napoleon's wants were few. His
principal luxury was books; his di-
versions chess playing and digging in
his garden. Like the former kaiser,
he spent many hours with the Bible.
He professed no piety, however,
frankly admitting that he was MAX
ing a study of certain Old Testament
books to show that monarchies had
divine sanction, and he also spOk of
wanting to write monograph on
The Campaigns of Moses
"Since st. Helena is some 700 miles
from the nearest land, Ascension Is
land, and 1900 miles from the near
est African port, the extreme precau-
lions taken by Lowe to prevent the
escape of the man who once had ruled
half of Europe, created considerable
amusement. Sir Hudson was greatly
disturbed one day to find newly ar
rived Corsican priest riding horse
back in coat similar to Napoleon's
believing the compatriot involved in
a plot to deceive the guards. The

VETERAN WRITES
DETAILS OF HOW
Gen. COBB DIED

ATHENS, July 22-M. L. Reed, of
Conway, Ark, writing to a friend I'M
der date of June %, 1919, gives the
following account of the death of
Gen. Thomas R. R. Cobb, father of
the late Mrs. Hoke Smith, and brother
of Gene. Howell Cobb, which should
be of interest to all Georgians as
the statement of an eyewitness:
"About Gen. Thomas R. R. Cobb's
death, | would say he was in COM
mand of a Georgia brigade at the
noted Stonewall fight at Fredericks-
burg. He was wounded in the right
leg above the knee. The femoral
artery being severed, a surgeon
placed a tourniquet to control and
hold the artery. In removing INN
from the field the tourniquet slipped
and in a short time he would have
bled to death,
GAS l was passing from the bat
tlefield back to. our field hospital for
chloroform and bandages, the driver
of the ambulance stopped and told me
that General Cobb was bleeding to
death
81 jumped into the ambulance and
found the tourniquet had slipped, and
bv placing my thumb in the thigh
could feel the artery pulsate. Hence l
pressed on the artery and soon stop
ped the flow of blood, but he was by
this time nearly dead. l gave him
big drink of whiskey and he soon
rallied. Then we had to go mile be-
fore we reached the hospital.
"While in the ambulance | SAID
to him: General you have serious
wound, and he replied, Yes, my son
and | fear fatal one
"The surgeon replaced the tournl-
ouet, but he had lost so much blood
that he never fully rallied. / held
carbonate of ammonia to his nose for
one hour, trying to revive him.
"About minute before he died he
opened his eyes, and smiling at me,
went out into the great beyond.
''This is a true story of General
Cobb's death, being the last one
he spoke to before his death "

provisions of a treaty to assure
themselves of his presence one saw
him through telescope once, a sec
ond looked into his face for the first
time when he was to be buried, and
the third saw him not at all.
'Napoleon's days at st. Helena
were not devoted wholly to killing
time. He dictated his voluminous
memoirs, and military commentaries,
while number of his associates later
added to these diaries, conversations
and memoirs of their own, inaccurate
or deliberately misleading IN large
part. Now this activity would be
called propaganda. it was highly
effective propaganda, too. Though
Napoleon's escape was prevented by
vigilance to an absurd degree, and
though the effect of his winning per-
sonality was guarded against by for
bidding visitors to see him, his writ
ings and those of Montholon and Las
Cases resulted in the royalistic fare
back that put his nephew on the
throne of France. 1t was to Napol-
con III that Queen Victoria presented

and died while at st. Helena.

French commissioner complained that
the sight of passing dog was
enough to induce the governor to
plant new sentinel on the spot; but
perhaps the most extreme of the
many amusing stories of Loves solic-
itude was the occasion of his protest
against Napoleon's planting some
white and green beans, sensing in this
combination of colors subtle allus-
ion to the white flag of the Bourbons
and the distinctive green uniform Of
the general.
Living almost wholly within two
rooms and his garden, Napoleon in
sisted on all the pomp and ceremony
possible in such cramped quarters.
Since his companions necessarily
were much in his presence his insist
ence upon their standing sometimes
brought them to the point of fainting,
None might speak unless spoken to
and all became extremely bored with
court life in a shanty involving all
the burdens, without any of the
splendors, of palace
At first the exile rode horse
back, but soon abandoned that rather
than have an English guard along,
His seclusion is best attested by the
fact that for FIVE or hi ssix years stay
he did not exchange word with the
governor: and of the three commits

See-s-First Hush" Craft to Be
Seen by Public

LONDON, Sept. 11.-Thousands of
persons waited in line for hours to
get closeup peep at the Psi. a
British anti-subEarine mystery"
ship which was mOored off Queen
Victoria Embankment for a two days
public inspection at the close of the
official Peace celebrations. The Psi
was the first of the hush" craft the
public was permitted to see at close
range.
1t was only ten yards from the en-
bankment to the quaint U-boat fight
er, but the intervening distance had
to be made in small boats. These each
carried eight passengers. 1t required
but few strokes of the oars to make
the ''trip''-and the fare was one
shilling, so the watermen's pockets
soon were bulging but there was no
complaint about 'profiteering."

GYPS|ES HEADED
FOR CALIFORNIA
Wandering Romsny Tribes Travelling
to California to Establish Sacred
Encampment at Emeryville-In
Nature of Pilgrimage

SAN FRANCISCO, September IL
-Romany tribes, commonly known
as "gypsies,' are travelling toward
California from all parts of the
United States with the avowed pur-
pose of establishing "sirnihatch"
or permanent encampment at Emery,
vile, across the bay from San Fran
cisco, officials of east bay cities be-
lieve.
In procession of tribal leaders,
who came to the coast to attend the
recent marriage of George Adams,
head of one tribe, and Gypsy"
Mary, who said she was an Egyp-
tion princess, were found kilograms
from headquarters OF Six tribes scat
tered throughout the country These
contained but two words. "Aman
avasa," or I'VE GOMEZ" They were
said to be replies to a countrywide
call for the gathering of the gypsy
clans.
Not all of the gypsies are included
in the movement. The response is
confined to the more religious ele-
ment who still cling to the tradition
that one day they would take the
lead to the land of promise by the
great water" the ultimate home of
the wanderers on the Pacific coast.
Fifteen thousand men and women
mated to be on their way here. Lesko
Amenjo, head of Greek gypsy
band, and others have made inquir-
les as to state laws ON municipal
organization, and the residents of
Emeryville are said to be apprehen-
sive that the gypsies have sufficient
voting power to take over control of
the town, now city of 200 popu
lation.
The bands are reported to have |
adopted a central flag designed at
Chicago by one of their leaders. 1t
is a green banner bearing the legend, |
"Borodiro Savety''-"A Greater Peo-
ple." Involved in the migration to
this coast are gypsies of the Turk
