Gen. Groener discussed the return
of the Kaiser to his country. II would
be simply impossible to use troops for
civil war. He had summoned a
number of division commanders to
Great Headquarters to learn df the
exact spirit of the troops, but even
before hearing their reports he could
assure those present that the army
would not follow the Kaiser.
Meanwhile the commanding Gem
erals began to arrive. Col. Heye was
delegated to receive their reports
while Hindenburg and Groener hur-
ried to the monarch.
1t was impossible to see the EN-
peror alone. He had with him not
only his Adjutant-General, Won Pies
sen, but also the Chief Of Staff of the
army of the Crown Prince, Count
Schulenburg. SO formal was the
scene that Hindenburg stamnered and
.oouldnpt find words. Finally hes de-
ciared that 1t was impossible for him
to say what he had to say and that
he therefore asked for his discharge.
The Emperor interrupted the old
General, saying that he demanded a
military report from the Quartermas-
ter General. Gen. Groener drew forth
a memorandum from which he de-
veloped the following:
A small number Of divisions were
still capable of fighting. but were en-
tirely engaged by the enemy. To take
any of them out Of their positions
would mean the collapse of the front.
There were no more reserves. The
supplies behind the lines were suf-
ficient for only five days more. The
further the army retreated the scarcer
the supplies. The condition of the
railroads was precarious. At home the
military depots in the most impor-
tant centers were In the hands of
revolutionaries. No trains we're al
lowed to depart from Cologne for the

Nothing was said about abdication.

the study and work that go on in

the church; they affect the thought OF

ministers are wishy- -washy; that they
are preaching what they don't believe
to hold their Jobs: that they are en-
gagged in stringing together stock
phrases. instead Of giving the people
help. Thousands on thousands are
thinking In this way and they prob
ably have some grounds for their
opinion. A few days ago I asked a
young friend to flnd what men and
women on the street think of minis
ters. He got such reactions as this:
The ministers are clever at sliding
through: they don't believe what they
say. They keep telling you what you
mustn't do-that you can't play cards,
or go to the theater; they talk about
charity and won't give man a cent

how Child came to know Harding and

Harding finally sent for the young
writer. After that II was all peace and

They didn't always agree. There
were few explosions. The times
were trying and nerves were Keyed up.

harassed and vexed candidate let off

TN late afternoon of the August
of two years ago youngish man
paced almost trippingly along
the beautiful avenue in Marion, Ohio,
which was. just then, what one might
call thu personal scenery Of des-
tined Pfesident. Neat and comely
and most inconspicuously garbed (and
really shy, as one was later to learn),
this young man was by no means In
conspicuous. There were things about
him which seemed to lie in ambush
to seize hold upon imagination-the
little thirgs that go to make up per-
sonality.
In the first place he wore no hat
and the rude breeze Of northern Ohio
was taking liberties with his rather
long though thinning seal brown hair
There are places where absence Of a
hat from those caskets of intelligence
so uprlghtly born by all OF us does
not excite remark or even interest,
but Marion in Ohio Is not one Of
those places. To walk about in Marion
and suchlike communities devoid Of
conventional headgear is as remark
able as to stroll about shoeless; abso-
lutely. with kind ot~frivolous dig
nifty this hathss young man swung a
tennis racquet. occasionally slapping
a leg outlined within white flannel
trousers. He passed many people who
nodded In fashion friendly enough
yet with rather more of puzzlement
than friendliness ordinarily holds, and
he responded with short, quick mods,
the barest shadow Of smile and the
merest flicker OF recognition in eyes
that were very large. brown and lus-
trous.
When this most Usual seeming but
obviously unusual young man had
stepped into the horizon II so hap
pened that newcomer to the town
asked of a native the one imperative
question and was assured that he who
had Just passed by was mono other
than Richord washburn Child, Har-
ward 'O3; confidential adviser in es-
pecialIy delicate matters to the Hon.
Warren @. Harding. The audible re-
action of the stranger Is worth quot
ing: my! All of that?"
You may porsibly gather from this
loosely stroked picture that Marion
and those that came upon their occa-
sions to Marion had a very imperfect
estimate of the qualities Of character
of the quite remarkable and most
amiably disposed young man--for

"The State congratulates the farm

attention have raised turkeys and
now have them to sell at 40 cents a

ceive even betterprice for them
but is it not singular that so little
of the energy and industry that were
not given to cotton production has
been diverted to turkeys? The cot
ton crop is "off" about 100000 bales
and turkeys are among the few class
es of ultimate cosunmers of boil wee

POSSIBLY, and probably, more in
telligence and perseverance are re-
quired to raise a brood of turkeys
than to raise a half bale of cotton.
