EX.kAISER WEARS
 BEST OF SOCKS
Nothing But Silk for Him.
 Changes Uniform Often

Berlin, Feb. 13.-The former Ger German great headquarters in Char leyille. France. in the world war sur rounded himself with an army of lackeys. changed his uniform several times a day and had a strong obJec- ton to any but silk socks, according to q description of his conduct there by the editor of the Charleville Journal. The editor, M. Dom elier. has just pub lished an account of the former em- perors conduct at Charleville. He says:
 "Everything he wore was intended to attain the greatest effect. Accord ing to the example of Napoleon he slept in a simple field bed which, however, did not stand under a tent but in a wonderful villa which had every imaginable protection against airplanes
 His fear of fliers was SO great that he constantly changed his sleeping place and created a regular steel safe in which to sleep. In April. 1915, five bombs feli in the neighborhood of the imperial villa, and at another time the court train was attacked, the kafSer's s chief engineer and cook and several court officials were killed. In the gar den of the kaiser's villa there was an electrically lighted dugout with a ca pacity of 30 men.
 Unlike his sons, the kaiser's meals were simple. His lunch consisted of some roast or cold meat and des- sert. Only on his birthday was there a better meal, such as caviar and pate de fcie gras, roast, rice, fruits ome- lette and choice wine. He usually drank beer or light Moselle wine.
 By tearing down some of the walls in the villa the kaiser had wonder full bathroom constructed. Three of the big trees in the neighborhood he chopped down himself and distributed the wood to the poor families of Char levilie. The inha bitants showed no appreciation for his kindness. They asserted that he was trying to gain their sympathies without paying a. pfennig. The women expelled from Lille for compulsory work he permit ted to do agricultural work

 London, Feb. 13.-Horatio w. Bot tomley, member of the house of com mons from South Hackley and editor of John Bull which periodical has been actively critical of the United States recently offered in the house today an amendment to the kings speech in which the member deals with the relations between Great Britain and the United States.
 MT. Bottomley's amendment ex- presses regret that while in his ma jesty's speech there is an assurance of the excellent relations which exist with all our allies no mention is made of the great republic of the United States of America and no indication is given of the present condition of the negotiations with that power, either in relation to the peace treaty or the league of nations, by which such treaty is governed, and which. according to his majesty's gracious speech at the opening of the present parliament constitutes the only hope of saving mankind from recurrence of the scourge of war"

The Chicago Convention.

The republican nominee for president is not
going to be chosen as the result of "hurral1,
boys, hurrah" methods. Not this year.
Regional enthusasms, band wagon plays and
stampeding tactics are not going to count for
much There's reason. Twice in succession
the national presidential elections have gone
against the republican party. A third defeat
would be disastrous beyond measure. Caution,
deliberation, and safety first, are imperative.
A cool, unimpassioned and exhaustive in
vestigation Of the comparative merits of the
strong and worthy men in the field by the dele
gates and leaders who will assemble at Chicago
is logical necessity which is impressing itself
more and more powerfully on the party every
where The republican party has no solid
south to hold it together by great sectional
division of sentiment through twenty years Of
successive national defeats. The supreme i'm
portance of the coming convention is
startingly evident.
Already the distribution of strength between
the candidates in the great string of republican
states extending from New England to the Pa
cihc coast insures the convention against hurry
up methods which might make impossible the
choice of the best and strongest man. Unwise
speed will be checked There will be such a
threshing out of the achievements, records and
political assets of the candidates as never oc-
Cured, perhaps, since Abraham Lincoln was
nominated in 1860. The auguries for unselfsh
and patriotic action by the convention are fair
indeed. The issues demand it. The stake is
prodigious-no less than the prosperity, the
independence, and the constitutional integrity
of the nation. The republican party has met
equally grave issues before, and won. 1t will
win this time, because the most enlightened
patriotism OF the country is rallying to its sup

Veterans and Their Voice.

developed the existence of several organizat ations
of soldiers of the Great War. While the far
greater part of the men who wore the uniform
are in the American Legion, number of
smaller groups are composed of men who find,
or think they hnd,. their individual aspirations
more sufficiently expressed through another
agency than the one big organization. Bicker-
ings between these before the committee must
give the public some idea as to the reason for
their existence. These disputes also indicate
the weakness Of the rival societies and point to
their early dissolution through failure of the
members to agree on anything. 1t is we'll for

"Brick or Bitulithic ?"

This question in regard to the Douglas
county road paving will now be answered by
the courts Injunction proceedings are under
way, and the right OF the public to require
that the Board of County Commissioners pro-
ceed in accordance with the pledge made when
the bonds were voted is to be determined. The
defense set up by the board that only small
group of taxpayers is protesting is not suf-
hcient. 1t happens to be the same small group
that interested itself in getting the bond issue
submitted and gave its time to pushing the
campaign through to a successful issue.
Whether sufficient quantity of brick may be
secured is not in point. Brick manufacturers
say that enough of that material can be had.
The question Of price answers itself in expert
ence. Omaha has not used bituithic for the
reason, according to City Engineer Bruce, that
it is patented article and must pay royalty
to its patentees 1t is known that brick pave
ment is enduring; thoroughfares surfaced with
this material have withstood the test of many
years of heavy traffic and are yet in good con-
dition. What Douglas county voted for and
wants is hard-surfaced highways so constructed
that they will last Concrete base and brick
surface meet this requirement. That is why
the effort is now being made to enforce the
bargain made by the county commissioners
when they signed the pledge since referred to
as "a gentleman's agreement"

New Testament a True Record.

When men now in their late SOS or early
COS were studying the evidences of Christianity
in college no New Testament manuscript earlier
than those of the Fourth century was known
to exist, and none of them was written in the
language commonly spoken by the people dur
ing Christ's lifetime.
Late research has proved however, that
those manuscripts are accurate transcripts from
the original gospels and writings Of the first
century after Christ; distinguished scholar.
Prof Cobern, declaring the new discoveries
prove that the New Testament text "can be
trusted more confidently than any other ancient
record" Every fragment OF papyrus writings
between the Third and Sixth centuries, pur-
porting to be parts of the New Testament arc
in essentials remarkably like the text now gen.
orally read in the churches.
An Arabic translation written midway the
Second century is believed to give "the text of
the Gospels accepted by Christians" within two
Syriac discovered at Mount Sinai in 1892 ccr-
roborates the earliest Arabic translation. Greek
documents recently exhumed, dating back to the
First century, and written in the Greek Ian
guage as then spoken by the people, afford
ample evidence that Paul, Mark and Luke wrote
in the every day language of their time.
The lately revealed papyri yield evidence
Of the substantial truth of the New Testament
writings by those variations which are SO con-
vincing to judges and lawyers skilled in detect
ing perjury and who always suspect too close
conformity in the words used by number of
witnesses. The most recently discovered papyri
say Judas "bare of" the money bag. The
beam" referred to by Jesus was Splinter"
Paul said: Il have loyalty guarded the trust, :"
instead of II have kept the faith" and ones
calling and election are made legally secure"
instead of "sure"-all variations of the most
convincing character to judges of evidence.
The marks of the first century-of the time
OF Christ's life itself-are at last established in
the New Testament as we know it, and add
tremendously to its authority as an irrefutable
evidence of Christianity. At the same time it
disposes of suspicion and charges of interpela-
tons in the text during later centuries, at least
so far as essentials are concerned.

Former War Lord a Dutch Asset.

A mercenary purpose to exploit William
Hohenzolern as lure for tourists, is attributed
to the thrifty Dutch as a potent reason for their
refusal to surrender him to the Allies. No
revelation is made of the particular method by
which Holland may exhibit her greatest show
on earth" During the war Americans would
have enjoyed. seeing him with the edge of a
hatchet sunk four inches in his skull Later
this desire was modified to the extent Of comA
promising on his display in an iron cage,
manacled hand and foot. At the present time
the sight of his repellant face, scanned with
the deep creases Of his evil deeds, would suffice.
Incidentally, word comes that the fallen en-
peror is wearing patches on the seat of his
trousers. Here is an opportunity for American
enterprise. Our overall manufacturers will
grasp at it at once, and on second thought drop
il, for as yet there is no disposition in this
country to contribute to the physical comfort Of
the great offender.
