SWEDEN DIDN'T
 WANT Ex-KAISER
Planned Asylum in That Country But Government
 Refused to Have Him.

Washington. March 13.--- William HohenzoHern, two months before the .ar1nistfce was signed, planned an asylum Tn Sweden but was prevented from going to that country by the Swedish government, diplomatic ad- vices made public today disclose. The former emperor's plans had reached the ptoint, the wireless said, where a deal was virtually closed for him to rent Castle Stora Sundby, situated on one of the large lakes in the center of Sweden, about four hours run by train from Stockholm. The castle is owned by old friends, Prince and Princess Wedel.
 Preparations for his reception are said to have gone so far that vast sums were spent in putting the castle in repair, and comment was critical in the vicinity because of the scarcity and cost of materials in Sweden at that time.
 When the Swedish government learned the purpose to which the cas- tie was to be put, representations were made and William Hohenzonern changed his plans, with the result that in a few weeks he fled to an other castle in Holland.

SMITH CAPTURES
 25 FEMALE HUNS
Takes Machine Gun Operat- ed by Two Rabbits, All of
 Which His Papers Show.

Back from the fighting front atfer many interesting and dangerous ex- ploits, Edwin Smith of 625 Housatonic avenue, veteran of the famous 367th coIored infantry of the Third Divis- ion, registered with the Welcome Home committee in the Common Council chambers at City Hall today Privata Smith has a record of having
 captured two German machine guns.
 5 women prisoners and two jack rab- bits.
 The Bridgeport soldier spins this yarn of his advance on a German trench while on outpost duty near the Lorraine front. It is substantiated by his record.
 T was sent out into No Mans Land in front of q patrol party to locate enemy machine gun nests and snip CTS. Suddenly I heard sounds of . piano, and peering through the dark ness was surprised to discover a Ger man dugout directly in front of me I dropped down in the mud, and craw1ed on my stomach until came to a. break in the mortar enbanl1rn ent on the trench and could peer through. Again I was surprised, for instead of finding Hun officers wfnfng and dining there were a number of women with overalls on in the trench Not
 having any desire to tackle this horde of female Huns single-handed, I re-
 turned to my patrol, and obtained the
 aid of one companion. Together we advanced on the dugout by the pro- cess of crawling. This time the door
 was open, and from the German side, i another woman was making her way l toward the light. She saw me and I discovered her at the same tine (Continued on Page Three)

TEACHERS MAY BE PAID IF BANKS
 HONOR CHECKS

Bridgeport school teachers may be paid as per schedule tomorrow-the regular pay day. President of the Board of Education Elmer H. Havens has already signed the checks. and unless last minute notices are receiv- ed they will be passed out to the teachers and other employees on Fri day.
 There IS only one source from which the money can be coming The banks of the city will honor the checks-in other words they will al low the city to overdraw its account deposited for the Board of Educa- tion and will cash the checks in the same manner as if sufficient funds were on hand for this purpose.
 Up until press hour, City Auditor
 Heating said he had no word on
 the subject, and as far as is known
 no special meeting of either the Board of Apportionment or Board o1 Aldermen has been called.
 The only other method by which
 the city could have obtained the funds was by the passage of the bill giving the ely the right to issue short term notes. This had not oc-
 cured last night, and if the bill was passed today it could not become l operative until signed by Governor Marcus H. Holcomb. There is moi sufficient time for this. As the 1 transfer Of funds from one account to another without due authority is illegal, it can readily be seen that the employees of the Board Of Edu- cation will be paid tomorrow simply by the good grace of the banks President Havens said at noon to- day that he was not worrying. The
 mayor said he would take care ot things and I am following the same procedure as on other pay days" he said.

, Hugo's work is praised as having struck "a finer note" than the others. Judging from the reception MT. Hugo received last night. BHdgeporters may see bright future for the local composer and wish all the success due him.
 The New York American says of the opera;
 As already intimat ted, the score of The Temple Dancer is in q different class from that of The Legend Or iginal the music can hardly be called. It derives mostly from Wagner and gently refrains from offending the tympani of those who shrink from the cacOphonies of a later day. Nor does it attempt, save in one or two rather innOcudous instances to trans late into tones the exotic atmosphere of the East Indian environment iu which the action of the play is placed.
 But Hugo's score has form and substance, and while not always eff fectiye in a theatrical sense never verges upon the banal or the ridiCu- Ious. The composer handles his choruses with skill and his treat ment of the orchestra discloses a practiced hand in Instrumentation.
 Happily his subject enabled him to do most of his writing, whether in ensembles or in solo numbers in a lyric vein. In this way he man aged to reduce to a minimum the dia- Iogue and Reclamation which always offer a stumbling block. to novices in the field operatic.

flkS AID SOLDIERS
VOCATIONAL TRAINING

The Benevolent Protective Order OF
Elks has entered upon an agreement
with the federal government to aid
in the publicity work of the vocational
education for soldiers. By the ar
rangement the Elks lodge will pro-
vide a fund of s150.00O. $4,000 of
which will be used for publicity; $780,
900 for aiding disabled soldiers untl
their government pay is arranged for.
and $4,000 will be kept as a revolv-
ing fund for the help of soldiers and
their families.
The Pendleton Elks lodge has re-
ceived a notice from the grand ex-
allied ruler requesting that arrange
ment be made with the local Red
Cross chapter for carrying on the
work here. 1t has been found that
disabled soldiers who are entitled to
help through the vocational educa-
ton offered by the government in
many cases do not know the advan-
tages offered by the government plan.
and it will be the work of the Elks
to help in seeing that these learn of
the opportunity.
One means of spreading the infor-
nation will be through the picture
shows and special films for this pur-
pose are now being prepared. These
films will later be shown in Pendleton
under the auspices of the local lodge.
