Santa Fe to Ashfork, Phoenix and
days in Cleveland with friends, which
constituted his longest stay in any
place.
A full army pack began its trip
with Wilson, but became depleted
as the trip wore on. Somewhere
in Kansas, beset by mud, rain ane
more rain, he was obliged to leave
his soaked ana mud besmeared bfan-

More Truth Than Poetry

UNDRESSING THE BARD


don't possess enough imagination
To fancy Lear in hand e-down and
spats;
To me dark skilled Othello would be
quite another fellow,
IF he gratfied taste for bowler hats
I'm accustomed to the good old hose
and doublet
Most affected by the heroes of the
bard,
And, when they are smugly airing what
the well-dressed man is wearing
l am dense enough to take it kind
of hard
like to see Polonious with whiskers
Which have patiently been pasted on
his chin.
| like to see the supers, playing horse
and foot and troopers,
Clad in armor, build of good old
fashioned tin.
The Melancholy Dane would make me
nervous
If the murder of his relatives he
planned
In a VELVET lounging jacket with a
shiny tennis racket,
Or putter or a niblick in his hand
1 know 1 ought to overlook the
costumes,
And to think about the lines the
players speak,
But if Juliet, at close quarters, showed
her silken hose supporters
She would seem to me, let us say,
a freak.
And how could one be much impressed
with Bottom,
Who for me has always had great
appeal,
If he yielded to a passion for array
of college fashion
And slicl1ed back his oily tresses like
a seal?
know that shakespeare work is
highest genius
And does not need illusion to get by.
1t ought to bring full measure of pure
intellectual pleasure
Without the least assistance from
the eye.
But if I want to grasp the poets
meaning,
1t costs me only time to read the
book
And CLEAN it from the pages, but, upon
the various stages,
like to see how folks used to look.

German Scheme
Traced to Kaiser

BIZ HHcd PFCSS
BERLIN, May 1.-THE cabinet of
Chancellor Hans Luther of Germany
resigned today after the Rechstag
had voted lack of confidence in his
administration.
President Won Hindenburg ac.
cepted the cabinets resignation.
The no confidence motion carried
in the Reichstag by a Vot eof 176 to
146 with 103 abstaining. Thereafter
by rising vote the Reichstag ap.
proved President Won Hindenburg's
proposal to create a uniform national
flag. Socialists and communists op-
posed the proposal.
After passing the vote of lack Of
confidence, the Reichstag adjourned
until Friday.
The Prussian state government
this afternoon outlined the F'as-
cist conspiracy alleged directed to-
ward a putsch. After Chancellor
Luthers resignation, according to
the statement, Hindenburg was to
have appointed a cabinet of lex
perts" which would have failed to
obtain the Relchestag'S confidence.
Then the Reichstag would have been
dissolved and power turned over to
the army and "fatherlandish" or ex.
treme nationalist organizations.
The police alleged that raid last
night on headquarters Of alleged con-
spirators disclosed a thread of con
spiracy leading to Doom, where the
former kaiser has found refuge since
he fed Germany during the closing
days of the war.
