DECLARES KAISER
IS A DRUG WRECK
U. S. Traveler Says He Con
stantly Dreads Assassination
and Suffers From Throat
New York, Feb, 26. The German
Emperor is a physical wreck and is
constantly under tlie influence of
morphia and cocaine, according to Ed
gar M. Moore, a real estate dealer of
Lafayette, Ind., who returned recently
from Germany and is stopping in New
York City. Mr. Moore says he obtain
ed his information from Otto Helmuth,
the chauffeur of William 11.
Mr. Moore was in Germany with his
wife, an invalid, who was taking the
baths at Aachen, near the" frontier of
Holland, about three weeks ago, and
says:
"The German ,Emperor is considered
to be a madman, even in Germany. He.
is hopelessly addicted to the use of
drugs because of chronic ailments in
the throat and ear, which cause con
stant pain.
"The Emperor Oelieves Germany lost
the war in the Battle of Jutland and
his most intimate advisers believe that
their country must make peace by July.
The Emperor's one hope IB that the sub
marines will starve England and that
Peace overtures will come first from
Great Britain. He does not care
whether America enters the war, be
lieving it immaterial."
Next to Mrs. Moore on the porch at
Aachen for several days was Helmuth,
the Kaiser's personal chauffeur for the
last eight years, who was taking a
rheumatism cure.
"Helmuth thought my wife a Ger- I
man woman and he talked freely of the
German Emperor," Mr. Moore continu
ed. "He said that the Kaiser is in con
stant dread of assassination and that
when traveling there are three automo
biles in his retinue. First there is an
automobile with four aids in it, a
chauffeur and an armed guard. Then
comes his huge limousine. An armed
guard sits on the front seat beside the
driver, while a wax imitation of the
Kaiser in uniform sits in the enclosed
portion of the car. The third car is a
small, gray one. The Kaiser rides in
it alone.
Social Insurance is
Suggested as Means
of Avoiding Poverty
"Social Insurance" that will lessen
poverty and in turn do away with the
bad living conditions were the subject
of an address given last night by Dr.
Johr Price Jackson, State Commis
sioner of Labor and Industry, before
Labor's Open Forum.
Germany was cited as an instance
where the enforcement of the social
insurance plan had done great good.
Dr. Jackson spoke of the time when
social conditions would make a plan
of social insurance inevitable, because
of the rapid strides that legislation has
been making in recent years for better
working conditions. Laws that have
favored the working man, especially
the compensation law and the moth
er's assistance fund wero given as in
stances tf the progress of better legis
lation.
When the high cost of living was
discussed food speculators were scored.
Plans were formulated for the estab
lishment of a central publicity bureau
as a permanent department of the
Forum. Definite action will be taken
on this ma'ter at the next meeting of
the labor unions of Harrisburg and
vicinity to be held March 25, in White's
Hall, Verbeke and James street.
The bureau will collect labor news
and present it to the newspapers of
the city. The opinion of the labor
organizations on any proposed State or
city legislation will be given the widest
possible publicity.
