GERMAN JUNKERS
STILL HONOR THE
DEFUNC'T KAISER
Congratulations Go to Him ON His
Recent Birthday Spent Under
4 J Stigma in Holland

Amsterdam, Feb. 4-The German
peoples party, which is composed
pargely of the pan-German element
and junkers, has sent the following
telegram, according to a despatch
from Berlin, to former Emperor Will
liam on the occasion of his birthday:
eve gratefully appreciate the
work which Your Majesty has done
for the German Empire and the Ger
man people during more than 80
years. We heartily wish Y our Majes-
ty peace for the rest of your life,
and beg to assure you that millions
of Germans who now live with us un-
der new conditions and a new basis
of state and of life, reverence the
monarchist idea and will repel every
unworthy estrangement from the
high ideal of German kaiserdom and
Prussian kingship."
Amergon, Holland, Feb. 4-(As-
sociated Press)-A birthday dinner
was given in Amerongen Castle in
honor of the former German Emper-
OF. It was attended by about twenty
persons, including members of the
family of Count GODDARD Won Benti-
nck, the former Emperor's host, and
Count Charles Won Bentinck of Zuy-
lestine and his daughter.
Among the other guests were the
Mayor of Amerongen, General Won
Estorff, Count Gontard, the Marshal
Of the former Emperor's Court, and
Captain Won Ilsemann, the former
Emperor's private secretary.
In honor of his guests, Count Won
Bentinck wore the robes of Knight
of the Order of St. John of Jeru-
salem, of which the former Emperor
was the head.
Floral gifts for the former Emper-
Or were still arriving at the castle
today.
They had been held up by heavy
snow which delayed railroad traffic
The former Emperor and former
Empress are enjoying comparatively
good health and there is no indication
of any intention on their part OF
leaving Amerongen soon.
The castle has become a hive OF
industry since the former Emperor
induced most of his servants and some
of the members of the family OF
Count Won Bentinck to join him in
the healthy exercise Of saving logs
At first he used an ordinary carpen-
ter's hand saw and kept each log
in position with his knee. Now big
! two-handled saw is utilized, Herr
Hohenzollern working one end while
one of his assistants operates the
! other. Two men servants hold the
| opposite ends of the log firm.
The exile has such strength in his
healthy arm that he is able to outdo
all the others and continues at work
on his end while those on the other
end of the saw are continually re-
placed by newcomers.
A shed, which is the scene of the
saving operations, has been built
against great oak tree in the castle
grounds. At one end is a pile of logs
| brought from the thickly-wooded es-
tate of Count Won Bentinck outside
! of Amerongen. The supply of wood
is renewed daily.
AS the logs are cut, which is done
with considerable rapidity, the men
servants pile them in regular heaps
at the other end of the shed, from
which they are hauled off to replenish
the castle fires. =. -..---

HEROISM IN ACTION

ored by Gen. Pershing and
French War Office

One of the proudest men in St.
Johnsbury in these postwar days is
Mr.. Lyndon Arnold of 80 Eastern
Avenue and there is a good and val
i'd reason for his pride. His son, AL
fred, well-known to many local
young people, has been three times
cited in the dispatches for valor on
the field of battle. One of them
comes from General Pershing for ex-
traordinary heroism near Medah
Ferme, France, from the 4th to the
9th of last October; and the other
two from the French commander in
chief. Following are the decorations:

During the operations of the

the dash and quickness of perception
with which he grasped the changing
conditions of the attack. He gave
proof of unique military knowledge
in assuring the safety of the exposed
right flank of the Second Division by
repulsing successfully massed coun-
ter-attacks and maintaining iaison in
spite of very intense enemy machine
gun and artillery fire.

Berlin, Feb. a, ASSOCIATED Press)
The coal shortage throughout Ger
many is SO threatening that for the
moment all other questions are over
shadowed. The larger factories in
many of the cities are already closed,
and it will be necessary to shut down
many OF the biggest plants in Berlin
if the situation does not improve
within a fortnight.
At present the daily production in
the Ruhr district is less than 10000
tons, against $4,000 during the wal
and $4,000 in peace times. Upper ST.
lesia is producing 1000 carloads, as
against 11,G00 in war times and A.
900 under peace conditions. The
reserves are virtually exhausted
The situation is further aggravat-
ed by the lack of enough railway rol-
ling stock to transport even the
comparatively small quantities mined
Of 2,100 cars required in the Ruin
district on Saturday only 1000 could
be obtained.
The Minister of Railways has hao
the greatestt difficulty in obtaining To-
comotives for the transport of coal
from Silesia to Berlin, getting only
a fraction OF the total needed.
In addition to the depletion Of roll
ing stock through deliveries to the
Allies, the situation has been compli-
Gated by labor conditions. A strike
epidemic is prevalent IN the coal dis
trict and it is impossible to get work
men enough for the mines.
There are large deposits of Ignite
in one district near Berlin, where the
vein is near the surface and can bt
developed easily and without the
dangers usually attendant upon min
ing. A briquette company has ad
Wertised in Berlin for 10000 laborers
for these fields. Only $50 men answer
ed the call, although the city today is
giving daily financial support to 1870,
900 of the unemployed.
The Government is now considerine
the unemployment question. The
present conditions constitute a seri
Gus financi"l burden as well as an eco
Nnomic menace. The daily payment:
average about eight marks to an in.

The situation is that in spite of total appropriations years ago nearly $3,o00,oo0, have deficit of S440oO and certainty that nearly half million moro will be needed with the greatest to the state institutions and departments to the end of the fiscal year.
 The administration from the very admission of the state has been impatient of restraining hand the matter of expenditures We recall that when in first legislature the budget system advo- cated successful resistance made by the ad- mnisraton to it's application to the state The state was to left protected only by the honor, integrity and infallibility of the administration. The admin isration be in hampered in the glorious of carrying out it's ideals and presenting to the world a model government.
 When attempts made to eliminate the travagant continuing appropriations from the statutes, partisans of the administration always stood in the way. 50 much thereof may be needed was the open door to the treasury and must not be closed by day night. On occasion an appropriation bill vetoed in order that the tinuing appropriations might be saved
 It is wonder that in this state of affairs there came an era of steadily increasing extravaganza and waste or that there should be such denouement has been uncovered.
 Of course an end will be put to it. The legis- the material and is in the temper to do it and We have that legislation will be enacted which will definitely limit the amount and the manner of expenditures In order that it may be sure that such limitations it may order shall be rigidy ob served it may be advisable to make amendment to the penal code.

The Seattle Affair

Some people fear they see in the Seattle outbreak tAe breaking ufS of the present order and the real beginning Of the reign of bolshevism in America livery strike of large proportions since the signing of the armistce has been regarded as a symptom ol our collapse
 5 The Seattle incident do not believe is signifi- cant of rising tide of bolshevIsm. Seattle and the northwest the breeding place of the dissatisfied asouarter of a century ago and they have been ever since. It thence the l. W. W. irrupted in large numbers Coxey's army was largely recruited from that region We do not pretend to say or know why this is so.
 But if it is true that what is happening at Seattle isl the beginning of a revolt which become country wide there is but one way to deal with it firmly and without concession, there is nothing the government can afford concede the strikers. They have broken an agreement under federal aeard allowing them extraordinary wages and the sympathetic strikes have taken place without any provocation whatever. Even if the original strike were justified there could be no justification of the sympathetic strikes.
 We notice that the soldiers and sailors being invited in That idea gained from the Rus sian movement in the beginning; in fact, the vicious, anarchstic and pacifist elements copying a good deal from Russia worst. Only recently congress has taken cognizance of meeting of these cattle, the "ptellectuals' under the very nose or congress to praise the soviet government thereby inferentally iusttutng nvidous comparison of the sovets with government.
 We do not think, though, that the soldiers and sailors who have acquitted themselves so noby; who have endured the direst hardshps and have faced death itself for s3O a month likely to ally them selves with these strikers who sllulked home and loafed at higher than were ever before paid for honest labor
 The government would do well to recruit from the returning soldiers and sailors force to take the places of the strikers and with strong hand suppress quickly outawry in all it's forms That would assist somewhat in solving the unemployment problem.
 We are aware that repression may be carried too far and may be unjust but there can be no govern ment without measure of repression. This old and sinful world cannot be ruled by love. We must have penal codes and jas and scaffods for there some people who just will not behave themselves with out these deterrents.

Water and Gold

The title of Mr. Maxwers address yesterday Water Mines and Gold Mines strikingly points to the two chief of Arzonas wealth. No pros pector for gold has been enthusiastic than MT Maxwell a water prospector and few have fol- lowed alluring hunt gold consistently he has sought large and still larger deposits of water
 In the nature of things one of these sources of wealth must some time be abandoned. The time must come when there will be great mines in Ari- zona, even If as we often say, have yet only #ratched the surface" The life of every great mine now operating in this state for that matter, in any state may be pretty closely gauged. We suppose that many of the large mining companies have been informed to within few hundred thousand tons. have much yet available.
 No doubt new and rich mines whose locations have not yet been discovered will be opened in localities which are almost inaccessible, but in time they will be worked out. It will not be in generation of the the next but it is inevitable that when rishes steadily taken without replacement, they will time be all gone.
 Under modern methods of mining, the life of a mine is not long it used be. There. for in stance is the Rio Tinto of Spain from which copper his been steadily taken for centuries. But if the Rib Tinto from the beginning had been worked tls mines at Bisbee. Globe and Jerome have been worked the last twenty-five years, the Rio Tnto would bS this time be forgotten and the there abouJs weuld have been attributed to great convusion of nature.
 But in our water mining we have really only 'st ratched the surface" We have done only a very litle development work and that has yielded from te grass rocts.' These mines that go down." org rather, we should say "come down." They may some time be fully developed but they can never be- come worked cut, for replenishment is in constant prbgress.

THE TREES OF ENGLAND

tGeoffrey Howard, in the New Witness, London) The trees of England, While she hath her trees She hath great virtues still. While formal yews Guard her trim gardens. she can never lose Homes for her scholars, of learned ease And while her pines stand stark against blue seas Murrluring of yet bluer seas to cruise, Her sons that hear them, of old, shall choose To quit her peace, and though it burn or freeze To win for her in grim and perilous realms New and great glory. With her mighty -thewed Oaks shall abide her spirit, bluff and strong; And while her winds prayerful in great ems Poets shall seek her haunts of solitude, And English leaves shall murmur through English

"WlLL TEACH WITH MOVIES"

(AIarjorie Day in Cleveland Plain Deaer1
 Motion pictures will take the place of textbooks hereafter in all schools and colleges, according to Thomas A. Edison. "The only textbooks needed will be for the teachers own use, declared the inventor of the motion picture
 My impression is that the government ought to help in this work Mir. Edison said There should be vast fireproof vaults where all valuable and ire placeable reels might be stored.
 "A great film library of educational and industrial subjects should be built up in Washington Then these films could be issued the rental system all institutions in the United States, the most remote rural schoolhouses and the system could be operated that it would pay it's own way, would be a self-supporting basis like the pension office or postoffice."

Hr. Hines proposal was remarkably similar to that which he had advocated for years and declared he believed the railroads should not be returned to private management until congress had established a permanent policy in re- gard to them.
 Cumn1ins Opposes Hines
 Senator Cummins disagreed with MT Hines belief that extension of govern ment control was necessary to proviot time for solution of the question. T think now is the psychological time to do the right thing in regard to the rail- roads" he said There is better tenn per. better spirit now relating to rail- roads than ever before in my exper- fence. Why not go ahead now and weigh the merits of your plan?"
 MT. Hines replied that he could not help feeling that the public was against government control and therefore he did not believe it worth while to con- tinue control for two years, unless gov ernment management was continued long enough to give it a fair trial.
 T think you underestimate the ca pacity of the people to think sanely and soundly on this subject now" said Sen ator Cummins. ''I fear if the period were extended five years, congress would not take up the question again until near the end of the time, and then we would have the same situation as now. with another presidential election coming on"

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.-Director General Hines today explained to the senate interstatee commerce commit tee that in re-grouping the railroads according to his proposed permanent regional organization under private management, he would include one or two big systems as the backbone for each group. This grouping would have to be determined by some government al tribunal, not by congress, and in general he regarded it as unwise to di- vide big existing systems
 In this way six or more regional cor porations would be created throughout the country with more uniform strength than multitude of smaller companies with widely varying strength
