KAISER is HOPING TO
REGAIN HIS THRONE

Berlin, Oct 12.-"The former
kaiser is the only man in the world
who seriously cherishes the hope that
some day he will triumphantiy re-
enter Germany and re-establish HIM
self on the throne, from which he
ruled for thirty years." high official
of the Prussian government today re-
marked to correspondent of the AS
sociated Press. The official was
speaking Of the Hohenzollern in
demnity and property settlement
agreement signed by the state and
the former emperor's administrators
and now before the diet.
The reading of the compromise bill
relating to this settlement raised a
great uproar in the Prussian diet to-
day, the communists assuming a
threatening attitude and denouncing
the terms of the settlement, which
provides for payment to the Ho-
henzollern family of $3,600,000, the
allotment of 10000 acres of the
former estates and a castle at Ham
burg for the ex-caiser and his wife.

PRIMARY SYSTEM MAY
PASS, DAWES THINKS

Philadelphia, Oct. 12.-Vice Presi-
dent Charles G. Dawes and Gen. J.
J. Pershing, one a crusader in the
realm of politics, the other leader
in war, both members of the Ameri-
can Legion, greeted and addressed
the former members of the American
expeditionary forces in annual con-
vention here today.
The vice president denounced in
difference shown by Americans to
the dangers that beset the govern
ment, the greatest of which he said
was indifference itself.
The general, the first to greet the
legionnaires, made a happy little
speech in which he said it was inn
portant to the "boys" to see that
their Representatives in their local
communities were "fine, outstanding,
alert, honest men, intelligent and eff
ficient, and not slackers or dema-
gogues."
Vice President Dawes was ap-
plauded when he declared he believed
that the primary system in elections
should be "largely abolished.
'If we follow the theory and plan
of representative government laid
down in our constitution by provid-
ing for nomination by conventions, a
better and more impartial class of
candidates will result" he said.

NEAR FATAL AUTO
WRECK AT LOVILL
Car Plunges 100 Feet Down Embank-
ment Seriously Injuring Mrs.
Nancy Greer

After rounding curve just east of
7. l.. Mast's store west OF Boone
Tuesday afternoon, a car piloted by
Mr.. John Greer, of Lexington, Ky.,
and occupied by four other passen-
gers, turned turtle down the steep
embankment for a distance of per-
haps hundred feet, and perhaps ia
tally injuring Mrs. Nancy Greer, of
London, Ky. Other members of the
party were Welborn Greer, Charlie
and Mrs. Greer. Latest advices from
the bedside of Mrs. Greer are to the
effect that she is improving and that
her husband probably sustained in
ternal injuries. Mrs. Greer suffered
from the loss of blood as a result of
lacerations of the head and probably
has some broken ribs. The other
members of the party suffered minor
cuts and bruises.
Mr.. Welborh Greer is a brother of
Mr.. Phillip Greer, of Zionville, and
was here on his first visit for 28
years. The party arrived Monday
evening and was en- route to Boone
when the accident occurred.
The accident is attributed to the
loose stone which had recently been
placed on tie highway at this point.

NEW WORLD WAR is
PREDICTION OF DR.. LIU

Charlotte, Oct. 12.-Another great
world war is likely to flash forth as
the result of friction between foreign
powers in the East, declared DR.. H.
f. C. Liu, of Hankow, China, secre-
tary of the Y. NJ c. A. in China, who
addressed the Y. M. C. A. conference
here today
DR.. Liu does not fear a world war
between the Chinese republic and
Occidental nations but between the
powers now trying to control the
commerce of the eastern republic, he
said.
European politicians" he declar-
ed," "are weaving a trap to control
our commerce and | fear another
great world war will be the result be-
cause they cannot agree"
Hatred toward England is rapidly
increasing, while the young Chinese
republic looks to America as her best
friend, DR.. Liu said.

AMERICANS. SEE ATROCITIES
AS WUCHANG, CHINA, FALLS

Hankow, China, Oct. l2.-Amerl-
cans in Wuchang were unwilling eye
witnesses of atrocities that rivalled
even the historic brutalities of the
early day Chinese conquerors, when
that city was captured by Cantonese
troops invading the Yangtze provin-
ces of Central China, according to
advices received here late today.
Upon entry Of the victorious forces
into Wuchang, the advices stated,
many Americans there witnessed a
wholesale slaughtering of the North
ern Chinese defenders, scores Of
whom. were shot and bayoneted by
the Cantonese right in the foreign
section of the city.
Many more were killed when they
were found masquerading as patients
in the American Missionary Hospital.
The Southerners are in full control
of Wuehang and are continuing, en-
masse their march toward Kiangsi
province.

REVIVAL AT THE
BAPTIST CHURCH
Will Continue Through Sunday With
Services Held Twice Daily;
Interest Increases

The series of evangelistic services
at the Baptist church continues with
increasing interest Rev. j. C. Canipe
is doing some excellent preaching.
Services are held in the afternoon
and night each day. Last Sunday
there were three services-at II a.
M, 3 and 1880 p. M, the one in the
afternoon being especially for women
and girls. Mr.. Canipe's sermon in
the morning was one of unusual force
and power on the text, "On This
Rock Will l Build My Church."
Some of his main points were that
the church will stand in spite of all it's
critics and enemies. Christ, the
Founder of the Church, and He foun-
ded no other institution, and He is
the Head of the Church. The church
is His representative in the world
and is responsible for the work of the
church. Wrong in the church men,
bers injuries the entire church.
The church is responsible for the
heathen and that all can help by CIV
ing of their means, and here he
stressed very strongly and logically
tithing. The question might well be
asked and considered as to who is
able to give sane, sensible, logical
reason why he should not tithe.
Of course, he continued, it is not
to be denied that the church is not
doing all that it should do and as
rapidly a. as it should, but one per-
son is just as much responsible for
this work not being done as another.
Let the critics lay aside their criti-
cism and help push on the work. The
church has stood and grown all
through the ages in spite of critics
and opposers, and the church will
triumph in the end.
The services will continue through
Sunday with two services daily at
3:45 and 1880 p. m.

Wave Hand at Wife; Lived
About an Hour

Mr.. Hill Phillips of Lockland,

a few days been visiting his aged
mother on Beaver Dam, was the
victim of an automobile wreck
near the home of Mr.. Geo. Sher-
rill Tuesday morning. Mr.. and
Mrs. Phillips were riding down
the road, and the lady wishing to

horribly that death followed in a
very few minutes.
The funeral was held and in
terment made at Forest Grove

viewing stand with Vice President
Dawes, General Pershing and others.
