~LET HIM ROT

If the Minneapolis Journal has it,
way, the allies will make no further
attempt to secure the extradition of
Count H~ohenzollern. 1t thinks it
would be a mistake to make a martyr
OF the former kaiser, and sums up the
reasons for its belief as follows.
The imperial exile In Holland today
may be pitied by some, but he is des-
pissed by all. A %poltroon and a cow
erd, he saved his own skin. Living
the domestic life at Amerongen, and
chopping wood for the good of his
nerves. the fellow has become too con
te)nptible to be hated. The fact that
he turned tail and scurried out of
harms way, forsaking the soldiers
VINO had fought for him. constitutes
a load that ought not to be lifted from
him by a procedure certain to render
him a martyr.
William Hohenzollern himself has
nc stomach for martyrdom; he pre-
fers to be despised. Consult his in
clination, let hiIc rot. Otherwise,
there will be started a cult in Ger
many, making him hero and saint
which will be as immortal as the cult
of Barbarossa..
The people OF the United States gen.
orally have refrained from becoming
excited over the question of whether
or not the former kaiser should be ex-
tradited and placed on trial for his
crimes. The Journal probably voices,
pretty accurately the attitude of the
average American toward Old Bill.

 REPLY AMOUNTS
 TO REFUSAL
Asks Permission To Make Some Suggestions To
 Allies.

Paris, Jan. 29-The text of the Jugo Slav reply to the allied ultima tum on the Adriatic question, made public today, shows, as was stated yesterday, that it amounted to a re- fusal to accept the compromise of- fered by the Italians, but that in courteous terms it asked permission to lay before the powers some sugges- tions for alteration which it consides necessary to secure stability in the region surrounding the Adriatic.
 "As regards the proposal itself" !" says one paragraph of the note "the royal government is obliged to ob- serve that it cannot accept it in it's entirety, and the government counts on the spirit of justice and equity of the powers party to the communica- ton of January 20 to permit it to submit to them notifications imposed by the necessity of assuring peace in the Adriatic.''

1,29O Freight Handlers Go On Strike In Bos-
 Boston
FOOD STRINGENCY
 MAY BE RESULT

Boston, Jan. 29-It was impossible to ship freight in lots of less than q carload through terminals of the, Boston & Albany and the Boston &o Maine railroads in this city today be- cause of the strike 1900 freight handlers begun yesterday. Carload shipments were not affected, being loaded or unloaded by the shippers or the consignees, but the embargoes declared by the railroad caused de- tention on sidings of many carA of perishable and other goods for local merchants, and prevented mixed shipments to other parts of New Eng land.
 The possibility of a food stringency as a result of the strike has been considered by Chairman Sherburne of the State Commission on necessar- ies Of life and he said today that he had taken the matter up with the railroad administration. The com mission will intervene if necessary to insure an adequate supply Of nec- essaries. General Sherburne said he was watching the situation closely to determine whether it would be neces- sary to "step in.''
 Food stores now in hand are ade-- quate for several weeks, and with car load lots moving there is thought to be no cause for alarm at the present time.
