DIVINE RIGHT OF |
KINGS IDEA Still ]
HOLDS HUN MINDS
UNTIL 1T IS ERADlcATED GER
MANY MUST BE WATCHED
CLOSELY FOR SOME TIME
CAN THEY COME BACK
Question Raised After Jack johnson
Whipped Jim Jeffries
Is Revived.

Do you recall the day Jim Jeffries,
heavyweight pugilist, fought Jack
Johnson, the giant negro, for the
worlds championship of the ring? Do
you recall the fact that following that
fight it became an axiom that "They
never come back?"
1t seems that way. Napoleon at
tempted it and failed. Emperor Nicho-
las, the Little Father of all the Rus
sians," did not come back. Nor did
old Abdul the Damned, old Sultan
Abdul Hamid. Nor did King Constan-
tine of Greece, who played the Ger
man game in the Egean.
The rule that held in the prize ring
seems to hold in the field of state
craft-and yet Don't forget that the
royalist party in what used to be lm-
perial Germany is a powerful one.
Prince Henry Of Prussia long since
sounded the call to the believers in
king and kultur.
The Hun took whipping, but 1t is
hard to say that the old spirit is con-
QLered. Kaiser Bills may never hold
the same power in Hunland that they
held few months ago, but the "Di.
vine Rights Of Kings" has powerful
hold on the German mind.
So, with the making of a peace and
the taking of guarantees and the mr.
ing of cannon announcing the end OF
the war-all is not done. The plain
truth is that Germany must be watched
a long time yet. States that have
been rent apart have way of putting
themselves together again. That is
why the armies OF the allies must be
maintained in considerable strength.
That is why the American soldiers are
not all home from France.
The allies are believers in de-
mocracy and the old Prussianism is a
believer in autocracy. The two sys-
TENS will not mix. They will mix nc
more than oil and water Merely set
ting up a government in Germany
that looks all right, will hardly con
vince the allies. The country must
be quieted. There must be 20 doubt
that Germany is going back to work
back to the ways of peace, back t.
paying her indemnities and to heI
Legitimate business.
Until all that is done we will be pay
ing something of the price Of war
This payment will take the shape OF
money as well as men, for the men
must be maintained there. Wherefore
comes the Victory Liberty Loan, the
loan that is to guarantee the right
kind Of peace.

The posthumous award by the
French government of the Croix de
Guerre to the Misses Dorothy and
8! GLADYS Cromwell, of New York,
American Red Cross Canteen work
ers and nurses aides, who, worn out
lby their labors at the front ended
their lives last January by leaping
from the steamer on which they were
returning home, was reported to No
tional headquarters of the Red Cross
today. The presentation was made
by General Gouraud, of the French
Fourth Army, the ceremony taking
place at Strasbourg. -
The Misses Cromwell saw duty
with General Gouraud's army at
Chalons, where they began canteen

Royalty Getting Scarce.

The cables announcement. from
London, later denied, that Princess
Mary of England, only daughter OF
King George v and Queen Mary
was to marry the Earl of Dalkeltn'
eldest son of the Duke of Buccleuch,
directs attention to the difficulty the
English royal family is having IN
perpetuating the royal strain.
It is only recently that the Prin-
cess Patricia of Connaught married
a commander of the royal navy. The
Kings only daughter is not unlikely
to marry outside royalty despite the
denial of her espousal to the Earl OF
Dalkeith.
But. the most concern of the Eng
lish Royal family is the making OF a
suitable match for his royal highness'
the Prince of Wales.
With royalty deposed in Germany,
Austria and Russia, as result OF
the war, choice of royal consort Tor
England's future king has narrowed
down to Italy, Spain, Holland, Bel
guim and the Scandinavian coun'
tries.
In the early days of the peace con
ference while the Prince of Wales
was in Paris, Queen Marguerite OF
Italy visited the French capital with
her two daughters 1t was common
report that the purpose of her visit
was to afford the Prince of Wales an
opportunity of meeting the two prln-
Scesses with the view of an engage
ment. Both King George and King
Emmanuel, it is said, would have
made such an engagement.
1t may, or it may not have beer
significant that Immediately after tn
visit of the Italian Princesses to NEE
the Prince of Wales in Paris, the re
port came out of London that hi
royal highness would probably be at
financed to one of the very youni
daughters of King Alfonso.

APPEALS TO THE GRANGE
Victory Liberty" Is Slogan Given by
Thomas c. Atkeson to the
American Farmers.

Thomas c. Atkeson, Washington
of the National Grange,
has made strong appeal to Grange
members throughout the United States
in behalf of the Victory Liberty Loan,
in letter sent to the officers of ev-
cry farm Grange, with the request that
it be passed on to the members, Mr..
Atkeson said:
Victory Liberty is the slogan of
the new loan. These two words Wis
ualize all that is best in American
spirit American farmers must respond
to this appeal"
1t is time to get into the Victory
Liberty Loan campaign. No appeal
of the war has gone unanswered to
the full limit when brought to the
attention of the farmers. The answer
must be the same in the coming drive.

HAS WHEAT
 ON HUGE SCALE
Now Has 22.S Per Cent of the Winter
 Wheat Area in United States /

Kansas City. Mo, January 4.-A report
 by Edward C. Paxton, field agent for the
 federal department of agriculture, de-
 clares that Kansas. with I,1s4000 acres,
 has 22S per cent of all the winter wheat
 area of the United States.
 A full crop on this enormous acreage,
 which is 13 per cent larger than the rec
 ord acreage of last year, would total
 200 O00, 600 bushels, or more than one-third
 of the 509, ,9O4 GOO sushels for the average annual consumption in the United States the report says.
 Such a production, with a guaranteed price of g a bushel, would bring Kan sas $4O0, ,O00, coo The December report states that the average condition is 9S per cent.
 Mot only is this the largest acreage
 of wheat ever sown in a single state, but it is probably the largest acreage ever devoted to single grain crop by any state" says the report. The Texas cotton crop is possibly the only state crop that ever excelled it in area. "The largest acreage is reported in eastern and central counties. Many coun- ties have more than doubled their acre. age, Bourbon county leading with an increase of 232 per cent"
 The winter wheat acreage in Missouri is 4243,OO0; Oklahoma, 3,590000, and Ne braslS, 5,51lOOo. The condition in these three states for December is given as 100 per cent.
 A campaign for moblizing a great army to harvest the 1919 crop is being worked out by the Kansas City office of A. l.. Erkman, assistant to the director general of the federal employment serv- ice in charge of western farm labor. Last year the federal employment offices supplied full half of the 4000o men used in Kansas and Oklahoma harvest fields. It is expected many thousands more hands will be needed for the 1919 yield. Women, children and business and pro- fessional men responded to the Wheat Won't Wait" call and helped gather the big war crop.
 A. A. Chalker of the Kansas City of flee of the employment service, said labor prospects were encouraging. Release of soldiers and sailors is expected to greatly relieve the situation. A plan of properly distributing the. army of workers has been mapped out After the Kansas Okla

MYSTERY SHIP GOT
 TWO IN. ONE DAY
Another Story Revealed Tells How U-BOats Were
 Outwitted by British
sy Associated Press

Falmouth England, December 12. Two German submarines were sunk in one day by the Mary B. Mitchell, a sail ing vessel, one of the mystery ships" of the war now exhibited here. This craft was one Of the first. if not the first, of the decoy ships which played havoc with the U-boats. This vessel went into the decoy service early in 1916, under command of Lieut.. John Lowrie. All her officers and crew vol unteered for the hazardous work. She was provided with 12-pounder and two well-concealed six -pounders.
 She sighted the first submarine three miles away and loafed along awaiting chance to bag if. The German craft followed at a safe distance for a time. but finally crawled closer and after satisfying itself that it had superior speed and gun power, opened fire
 Failure of the mystery ship to return fire at once baffled the German officers. They were quiet for 15 minutes, and then resumed fire. When the subma- rine came sufficiently close and was in good position abeam the concealed guns of the sailing ship were brought into play and landed six mortal hits on the submarine, which was unable to fire an additional shell. Just three
 
 rine was blown up by a shot which holed it just below the foredeck and caused an explosion which threw a vast column of water high into the air.
 Later the same day another German submarine approached the Mary B. Mitchell and opened fire at a distance of about two miles. After the sixth round the mystery ship was stopped and a boat put off. To all appearances the craft was abandoned The submarine approached the supposed wreck at full surface speed. Then it submerged for a time and suddenly rose to the sur face again.
 The gunners of the Mary B. Mitchell landed a shell just below the coming tower and pierced the side one foot above the water. A flash of brilliant blue flame and a dense yellow smoke came from the hole. Almost instantane- ously another shell struck forward and the submarine was enveloped in black smoke and sank into the water bow foremost with a loud gurgling and hiSsing.
 The official report does not say that the Mary B. Mitchell was filed with wood to keep her from sinking, but this was doubtless the case as other mys- tery ships were so equipped and were able to float in spite of any damage inflicted on them by torpedoes and shells. Their guns were frequently hidden behind doors in the sides of the ship, which could be swung open.

BRITISH AIR RAIDS
 OVER HUN CITIES
By Associated Press

London, December 12.-British air raids upon German towns and military objectives during the last F months of the war were nearly five times as numerous as the total number of air raids made by Germany over Great Britain during more than four years of war. This comparison is shown by of ficial figures which disclose that from October. 1917, until the signing of the armistice the British royal air force made 7O9 bombing raids over German territory. In all, more than 660 tons of bombs were dropped on these raids.
 The base of the royal air force was at Nancy. The average distance covered by each squadron on raid varied from 120 to 160 miles. Under favorable conditions flights of 200 miles and more were made on many raids.

 Corp. E. H. Freeman is spending few days furlough with his friends in Mon tevallo, who claim him as their hero. On his arrival a committee of citizens met him at the train and upon reach ing the St. George hotel he was given warm reception by large crowd, who lis tened with much interest to his recita! of experiences in which he shared on the war front.
 On March Corporal Freeman leading five men. encountered German patro! of eleven soldiers and killed nine of them and took two prisoners. For his gallan- try and bravery in action he was awarded the Croix de Guerre by General Segonne of the French army. Pershins also decorated him with a distinguished service cross. Beside taking part in numerous raids, he fought in three bat ties. He was seriously wounded al Chateau Thierry on July 26, when so many of our brave boys bled and died.
 The remainder of his stay was spent in a hospital in Vichy, France, where the kind and skillful ministrations of doctors and nurses pulled him through. He reached New York for Christmas, spent short while at Camp Merritt and is now stationed at Camp Mcclellan. From there he may be sent to some hospital for a third operation, which his friends hope and believe will make him as well as ever.
 Sergt Lester M. Cullen arrived Friday night from Fort McPherson, where he had been invalided from France. He left Birmingham with Company K, Mortimer II. Jordan, captain as a part of the l6th infantry Rainbow division. Soon after the arrival of his regiment in France late in 1917, he suffered an attack of pneumonia and has since then been un- able to be with his regiment, except for few weeks, having been stationed at various hospitals in France until after the signing of the armistice. He has now recovered from a prolonged attack Of bronchitis and is here on a 15-day fur tough to visit his wife and other members of his family
