powered to engage in all other kinds
OF business except the manufacture

bring this about, however. certain
vital concessions had to be made

would not have considered at the
opening of the session OF the lesis-

To quell a revolt in the leagues

Red Cross War Council
Concludes Work and Quits

1000 persons have been upon the rolls
In France, OF whom 1000 were actively
engaged when the armistice was sign
ed. The present scale OF the work stu
requires the services OF 5000 persons.
Our forces having largely evacuat-
cd England, the activities OF the Red
Cross commission there are naturally
on diminishing scale. Active opera
tons are stu In progress In Arch

CLANS wandering homeless Throughout

effort to care for the women and chill

most entirely on behalf OF the civilian

1t will continue to be so. The army

which can be performed with peculiar

these terms:
"Sergt. Homer G. Roland went thru
the trying weeks Of the Argonne battle
as a field agent with one of the divis-
ions in the thick of the fighting. De-
spite his poor health. a buoyant spirit
kept him on the go for long. hard
hours, often under fire, and he would
not relinquish his post until after
the conclusion Of the armistice. Then
he came back to Paris and entered a
hospital unfortunatciy too late, as the
progress Of the tubercular trouble
acquired during the days and nights
OF magnificent service could not be
stayed"

Weimar Thursday. Marcn 1.-The
former German emperor recently APP
pealed to the German revolutionary
government for money. 1t was said II

the Dutch nobleman in whose castle he
now resides.
Herr HohenZollern. it is said, de-
clared he borrowed 10000 guilders from
his host. He asked for portion OF his
private fortune.
The government agreed and inst-
tuted an investigation to determine
what -purtion OF the fortune really be-
longed to the government lnvestiga-
ton showed the former ruler might
claim 100000 marks (HS.000.000)
but the government decided to allow
him temporarily only 100000 marks
($150 00O) to meet present Indebtedness
and future expenses.
The government apparently con-
tinues to pay the sala ries Of the for
mer kasers servants.
General Won Estorff. who has been in
attendance upon his former imperial
master, has left to visit Germany. ac-
companied by the younger Won Ben

While the eX-emperor performs his
daily task OF saving wood for three
hours, his wife strolls about the
grounds, mostly alone.
The Dutch governor Of Utrecht

these visits the officials have ceased
