KAISER BILLS STATUE TREATED ROUGH BY
 YANKEE SOLDIERS

COBLENZ, Germany, March 1 (By MaiD D-There has been plenty of dis cussion back in dozen different lands about the great moral issue of what ought to be done with Kaiser Will helm, whose rogue's gallery alias is Bill, the Crook. A group of American soldiers in the little German village of Maven settled the question summa- rily one night by hanging that arro- gant ruler, without benefit of clergy. When they had gotten him hanged, they went on to behead him, and they didn't even let it go at that. Nothing but dust was left of Kaiser Bill when they were done with him.
 Maybe we'll go to the guardhouse for this, but we'll tell the world it's worth it," they said, while engaged in their gory work.
 It spoiled the fun a little that the kaiser they hanged was only an eff gy, still they did the best they could, and no one should blame them for that. If the real Wilhelm wishes to come around and make application through the proper channels, they are perfectly willing to give him their best attention.
 There had been at least two statues of Wilhelm in the village. One was nothing more than bust found in one of the Y. M. c. A. huts opened in former German saloon. No one knew exactly what became of it. It simply went away from there. The "Y" had no use for it.
 The real monument remained an eyesore to the affronted gaze of the American soldiers, on one of the prom inent village corners. It was one of the worlds great incentives to pro- fanity. No American soldier ever passed without saying things. When the boys were more than usually blue. or the commissary supplies were all out except the sardines, or the mails from home hadn't come, they swore a little harder, that was all.
 An American soldier who shall be nameless here, because no officer can prove it on him yet, stood on the cor ner the other evening, telling the statue what he thought of it. 6n M. P. came along.
 "Move on!" he directed. Don't fra ternize with the Germans"
 He meant it for joke but it proved the last straw in settling the fate of Kaiser Bill. The American soldier called an indignation meeting of his mates. They procured strong rope and a private who used to be with a wild west show threw it with unerring aim around the neck of Keaser Bill That wiley ruler, unused to western tactics, left his pedestal without a word. He was dragged ignominious- ly through the cobbled streets to his place of execution. There khaki is- sue handkerchief was tied over his

He is brother of Mrs. Ryberg, wife of Os- car Ryberg, who is connected with the Milton store. MT. Erickson was private in the 164th infantry, part of the Sunshine division.
 It was only after he had reached Denver on his way home that MT. Erickson learned of the sad news of the death of three relatives in Will Hams during the influenza epidemic, his father, brother and sister.

CAMPBELL APPOINTS TOM
 MADDOCK STATE ENGINEER

Gov. Thomas F.. Campbell Thursday appointed Lieut.. Tom Maddock as state engineer, vice Fritz Holmquist, resigned, and sent the nomination to the senate for confirmation. Owing to the fact that the senate was at that time in it's closing hours, no ac- tion toward confirmation was taken. This, however, will not prevent Mad dock from taking up his duties, and he is now in charge of his department. Holmquist was named to this post the first of the year with the understand ing that he would serve until such time as Maddock returned from France, where he had been serving with the American expeditionary forces.

THE SOLDIERS FIFTH VIRTUE.


 Cowardice, selfishness, stinginess and bragging-those are the four vices of the soldier as the soldier himself decided by plebiscite some months ago. The fact that fighting is over does not alter their applica- bility. The good soldier is still the courageous, the unselfish, the gener- ous, the modest soldier.
 There remains to be added fifth virtue, the virtue of patience. It is good any time. It helped to beat the Germans, both in the whole grand stragetic scheme of victory and in the plan for every minor patrol between the lines. It has made the most com petent K. P.'s; it has made the best generals.
 It took patience for men to save themselves when they were caught in shell holes and had to wait many days and nights before they could effect their own liberation. It takes pa tience these days, to wait for the boat. It is just as fine kind of pa tience-and a whole lot harder kind to practice.-Stars and Stripes.

 If the villagers missed the statue next morning, they concealed their sorrow. As for the soldiers who pass ed the accustomed corner, they all ex- pressed loud and spontaneous surprise that Kaiser Bill was no longer in their midst.

Man The Master

Man is fond of calling himself the
"Proudest work of nature" and

Many bugs can see better.
Most other animals have a much
better developed sense of smell.
Many other creatures have the
sense of direction, which he lacks
entirely,
The flea can jump farther in pro-
portion to It's size.
The spider can teach him things
about rope making.
The worms taught him how to
make silk.
The wasps showed him how to
make paper.
The birds can sing more sweetly.
Nearly all the world creatures pro-
vide for theirfamilies.
Dumb beasts eat and drink only
what is good for them.
Many other creatures possess pro-
tective coloration.

The European war

tThe following lines have been
composed by Captain Davis Price, of
this city,
Come, all you brave Americans.
Come, listen to my song;
It's all about the European War
And l won't detain you long.
The Kaiser started the war,you know,
The world he wanted to beat:
He started right in to sink our ships,
And send them down in the deep.
He said he could win this war, my
boys,
With his powerful U-boat fleet;
They sank the Lusitania, you know,
While the passengers were alseep.
They kept this up until one day
Uncle Sam they chanced to meet;
They said to him, "If you bother us,
Well sink your whole d. fleet"
Uncle Sam said to the Kaiser,
You have got to stop this fight,
Or will send my boys to France,
And put you all to flight"
The Kaiser looked at Uncle Sam,
And these words he said to him,
You can do no harm, Uncle SAM"
And tickled him under the chin.
We started right then to train our
boys,
And build larger fleet.
To take them across the ocean, my
The Huns we had to beat.
We got already and sent them across,
And landed them right in France,
And when they got into the fight
They made those Dutchmen dance
They broke right through the Hin
denburg line,
And put them all to flight;
They gave them all the h they
wanted,
And showed them how to fight.
They got them on the retreat, my
boys,
And then they had no show;
They told them if they did not sur
render,
To Berlin they would go.
Sure enough, the old Kaiser got
scared,
And he began to cry,
That he was willing to accept 'our
terms,
AS he did not want to die.
Now the war is ended,
And the U. S. A. won the fight;
They gave them all the h they
wanted,
And showed them how to fight.
Uncle Sam is as fine a man
AS you would wish to meet:
He gives you all the freedom you
wish,
And also plenty to eats
The D. s. a. is as good ! place
AS one could wish it to be,
We stand for freedom of all the ma
tions.
And also freedom of the seas.

Berlin, Jan. 16.-Berlin's long week
Of Bolshevism Is finally ended.
Here and there scattered despera-
does, n,>stly youths, still fire OCCASION
ally from some housetop and during
the nights attempts are made by small
bands of the followers of DR.. Karl
Liebkneht to revive the reign of ter
ror. They are Insignificant, however,
compared with what has passed.
A few Spartacans tried to recap
ture the Charlottenburg police head
quarters the night after it was taken
by government troops. Doctor Lieb-
knecht's sister was arrested and sew
eral hundred rebels are locked up,
awaiting trial, which, inasmuch as
martial law was not proclaimed, must
be left to the regular courts.
Losses inflicted on each side during
the last week are as yet estimated
only roughly, but it is believed that
they will greatly exceed 200 dead and
1000 wounded The overwhelming
majority of these are BOlshevists.
The reinstatement and arming of the
police give the government a new
force of trained men who know the
criminal world and whose absence dur
ing the first days of the revolution
gave the disorderly element free
hand Police records, including those
of the Bertillion system, were not de-
stroyed, as was first reported. De-
tectives are already rounding up old
acquaintances, and the work of dis
arming lawless elements is proceed
ing.
Property losses during the week OF
terror amount to tens of millions ct
marks.

Washington. Jan. 16.-Another ap-
preparation Of S50O,000,0OO or more
will be asked of congress soon by Di-
rector General Hines for the railroad
administration revolving fund, to be
used mainly in extending loans to the
railroads to cover the extensive pro-
gram of improvements and extensions,
for which more than billion dollars
probably will be spent this year.
Most of the halfbillion dollars Origi-
nally appropriated for the revolving
fund was spent in financing improve
ments or purchase of equipment last
year. Loans generally are to be made
at 6 per cent and will be repaid to
the government.

that capital expenditures of railroads

This means that the railroad admin

tensions and betterments in 1919 calls
for outlay Of Sl,O39, 100000, or three
times as much as was spent by all
railroads annually for several years
before the war.
In view of the approaching fifth

Heve railroads would have consider

Mrs Perkins was at the hospital in

returned home a short time ago she
found that her house had been ram
sacked so much being taken that there
was not enough furniture and utensils
left to keep house with even in a rough
way. There We're four suspects. among

Mr.. Earle found during his search of
the Bussino premises a desk and
valuable rug which had been missing

ber, and a large power churn. which one
man could not possibly have lifted,
