LETTER FROM WILHELM.
Crown Prince Offers to Suffer All the
Consequences.

President Wilson has before him a
personal cablegram from Fredlerlch
wilhelm, former crown prince OF Ger
many, suggesting IF the Allied ana
associated governments want VIC
y tim, let them take me instead OF the
900 Germans who have committed no
other offense than that of serving
their country in the war
What action the president might
take on the message which presuma
bly, was identical with that reported
in Amsterdam dispatches as sent to
the rulers and presidents of other
powers opposed to Germany in the
war, has not been disclosed. There
was a suggestion. at the white house
that he might reply.
In some quarters, however, the
opinion prevailed that he would not
even acknowledge it's receipt since
it was pointed out the United States
is not party to the treaty or mem
: Der of the league of nations and has
no legal voice in any proceedings as
to extradition of German officials or
officers for trial.
The message follows:
"To the president of the United
States of North America:
|'Mr. Wilson, Washington:
''Mr. President: The demand for
the delivery of Germans of every
walk of life has again confronted my
country, sorely tried by four years
of war and one year Of severe inter-
nal troubles, with crisis that is with
out precedent in the history of the
world as affecting the life of peo-
pie. That a government con be
found IN Germany which would carry
out the edmanded surrender is out of
the question; the consequences to
Europe of an enforcement of the de-
.mand by violence are incalculable,
hatred and revenge would be made
eternal; as the former successor to
the throne of my German fatherlanu,
am willing at this fateful hour to
stand up for my compatr.ots. If the
allied and associated governments
want a victim, let them take me in
stead of the 900 Germans who have
committed no offense other than that
of serving their country in the war.

WINDMILLs DISAPPEARING.
Holland is Doing Away With One OF
It's Noted Charat teristics..

Hollond is slowly but surely losing
the one characteristic of it's landscape
made famous in art and known to
every school boy-the squat, fat, lazy
looking windmills that for centuries
have stood out all over the country's
fat surface. =
These quaint structures are grad
uaily giving way to highly practical
but ugly steam end electric plants.
Dutch technical men say the wind
mill is doomed.
Now and then large group OF
them is replaced by one electric
plant, and in the course of each year.
a number are destroyed by fre-pre-
senting a spec tacular blaze with the
big burning wings wheeling around
like fiery arms. They are never re-
constructed.
The existing type of Dutch w.nd-
mills was invented about the year
400. The great disadvantage of the
windmill, of course, is it's absolute
dependence on weather conditions.
For this reason, they are being re-
placed, when possible, by modernma-
chinery.
The Dutch windmill, however much
it may look in pictures to be a toy,
is far from that. 1t is sturdy struc-
ture, as big as a good size house, anu
the machinery inside is extremely
powerful.
Naturally, a great many Of them
remain, but the number becomes less
year by year, and, so far as can be
ascertained, the erection OF new
one is seldom undertaken.

Of the English department Of the uni
The first part OF the lecture was de-
voted to negro dialect yarns and this
was probably the most popular to the
audience. Prof. Painter divided this
part. into three sections showing the
inherent characteristics. the religious
emotions and the irrepressible spirits OF
the negro race. Some unusually good
negro dialect stories were given and at
times It did not take much imagination
to believe&that 1t was an oldtime negro
speaking. 30 good was the ifnpersona-
ton OF the lecturer.
Next in popularity to the yarns was
a caricature Of small boy giving his
first speech at school, an experience
which most Of us have passed over.
In addition. Prof. Painter read sew
erai Scotch poems and stoxies. some
cockney English tales from Kipling.
Irish stories. and even one example OF
Chinese dialect. Severay selections
form Italian ''Ndarcaroni Ballads were
received with appreciation.
The lecture was closed with two ex-
amples Of Hoosier dialect. one from
James Whitcomb Riley ana another
from Hayes. His last Offering. story
Of how two rival churches in Indiana
tried to make "A Hoosier Holiday" was
exceedingly good.
