KAISER DISLIKES IDEA
OF GOING 0 NTRIAL
(By Associated Press.)


Amerongen, July 15.-The former
German emperor displayed marked
irritation after reading the clause Of
the peace treaty in which the Allies
announced their intention of putting
him on trial on charges of violation Of
international morality and Of the
sanctity of treaties. For several
hours after he had read the clause NO
one at the castle Of Amerongen had
the courage to approach him. He sat
in a chair before the main entrance
to the castle entirely alone and ap-
parently in deep thought while he

and the members of his suit walked
in the grounds occasionally glancing
in his direction.
Next day he seemed to be in a state
of nervous agitation. for he frequent.
ly ceased his saving and walked
away leaving those who assist him
to continue the work alone. Later,
however, he resumed with increased
energy, so much so that one Of his
assistants was forced to take to his
bed for some days in order to recov-
err from a chill caught while perspir-
ing at the other end of the saw.
Subsequently the dull life at the
castle resumed its ordinary dullness
and since the first display of annoy
ance Count Hohenzollern has shown
few signs of being much affected by
the conditions of the peace treaty.
The former emperor has sawn his
4,00Oth log and it is arrested by some
Of his retainers that he intends to
bring the number up to 10000. The
logs which now form a large heap
are placed in piles to dry in prepare.

1t was the third day of gale on
one Of the Great Lakes. hTe rivers
current met the high seas in chappy
mess.
Experienced yachtsmen, whether OF
tiny sailboats or of great power
yachts employing crews of several
men, were quite content to let their
craft lie moored or perhaps to play
around the sheltered harbor.
1t was only because there was room
enough for pleasant, quiet rowing in
the harbor that the boatman was
willing to rent a rowboat to a man
and girl who applied. He warned
them strictly not to 60 beyond the
rivers mouth When they started to
get beyond the safety line, shouts
from other boats warned them. "Wo
are all right" called the man self
confidently. His body has been re-

Too Busy To Read
Jacksonville Times-Union.

The editor of the Gainesville Sun
dcplores the fact that few-very few
people now appear to have any time
for reading, and it does seem q pity
that so little attention is given to
mater of real importance. If we do
not read how shall we talk in few
years; or write or even think? I'm
lettered savages manage to live and
die without reading-the Eskimos
have only a few words in their Ian
guage, compared with ours, but what
do such races leave behind them save
few legends that grow more un-
reasonable as time goes on, and who
should we wish to become as silent
as they?
Having obtained the key to knowl.
edge in school days, youth should give
attention to written works, and espe-
cially to those which are held as
standard. 1t would surely be better
to acquire reasonable vocabulary
from the pages of we'll written books
than to be limited to the words heard
in the average round of days bust
ness or pleasure. To succeed in bus
mess is an excellent thing, and many
men and women also have made
money and attained a high place in
trade or industry without having read
Romeo and Juliet, or Kenilworth, or
Dombey & Son, but they have missed
great deal also.
The Sun says that although the
very best of literature may be had
in cheap editions and in spite of the
fact that newspapers are more nu-
merous and better prepared than ev-
err before, few perple read nearly
enough. Continuing the Sun protests
that:

such laws requiring the reporting Of
cases of communicable disease

such laws requiring the reporting OF
cases of communicable disease.
The enforcement of such an amend
ment to the bylaws, as here pro-
posed, would be Of incalculable value
to the public health movement. 1t
would make it possible to bring de-
linquent physicians before court
consisting entirely of heir peers.
This would make the American Med
ical Association insist that member
ship in the association depends on
the faithful performance of the ply
sician's duties not only to his %
tents, but to the public at large.
The association is to be congratu-
lated on thus sGuarely accepting the
responsibilities placed upon its men-
bers. Such cooperation is indeed,
appreciated by health administrators
everywhere.

classed as nonessential.
Members of the Omaha Film
Board of Trade met at the Cham
Der of Commerce yesterday, and
passed a resolution charging that the
local fuel committee had discrim-
mated against the motion picture
industry of the city. They declared
that the film distribution industry,
which they say is the fifth industry
of the city, was almost entirely
wrecked by orders closing Omaha
theaters and limiting their working
day to an extent of making the ship
ments of films to the large territory
tributary to Omaha nearly impos-
sible.

follows:
whereas: In this period Of fuel short
age the "Allied Amusement association
Of Omaha, having appointed various COM
mittees to deal with the local tuei az

said fuel commission that the closing OF
theaters was not in reality conserva-
ton of fuel. but resulted in . greater con-
sumption Of fuel and light in the homes;
and that by the opening OF motion pic
turs houses and other theaters a saving
Of hundreds Of tons Of coal would be eff
fected because Of the fact that patrons
attending would not at the same time use
as much fuel in their own homes; and
Whereas: Said fuel commission refused
to give proper consideration to the ar
guments and statistics Of the various COM
mittees: and
Whereas: No such restrictions are be

size of Omaha, or larger; and
whereas: Motion picture houses have

whereas: An order has been issued by

to refrain from closing theaters throughout
