ABDICATION OF KAISER IS NEXT Burdens of War Hang Heavy on Emperor Says Former Official By Associated Press Paris, March 24.—The abdication of the German emperor is forecast by the former German magistrate who wrote the celebrated book, "J'Accuse," in an interview published in Oeuvre. He says: "The kaiser is obsessed by the thought that ho ts responsible for the war, a thought which poisons his whole existence. He feels that he is menaced by three enemies at home, without counting those abroad: First is the crown prince, the real author of the war; second Is the junker pan-Ger manist—you cannot imagine the smol dering hatred of the emperor for those whom he believes to be the maniacs who are driving him into an abyss: third are the people, not the Socialist party, but the people who are starv ing and who, he feels, are growing in number and rising little by little against those who organized the war. Majority Against Kaiser 'The other day at tho meeting of the parliamentary presidents and the min isters of the federal sovereigns, at which the submarine war was decided upon, the struggle between the kaiser's party and that of Von Tlrpit - /. was most bitter. The majority against tho em peror was so great, however, that he was obliged to submit and pretend that he was convinced. In particular he was personally opposed to a break with President Wilson, but he was forced to consent. Documents will be published one day which will prove that secretly he did everything not to bring America down upon him and that he considers that the rupture was an irreparable mistake. Tho failure of the submarine war will soon show that he was right, but it will be too late. • * * If the Allies solemnly declared, as they did with Napoleon in 1815, that they would refuse to treat for peace with the Hohenzol lerns, it will be a knockout blow. Our German people, who still believe In him, would abandon him, for peace at any price will soon be the unanimous and hidden thought of tortured Ger many. "What resource is left to him but a dramatic abdication In order to retain the sympathies of the German people and save the political future of Prus sia." car In the road Is considerable. The Cadillac Eight is noted for the ease ! which it steers. A gentle influence on | the steering: wheel is sufficient to guide it, and it keeps the road without niate- I rial effort on the driver's part, i "The brakes are manipulated scores I of times without muscle-strain or fa tigue. llardly more than a gentle pres | sure of the foot is required to put them •on," either lightly or firmly, as the oc j casion demands. And the same ease i applies to the operation of the clutch. "Especially on u lons drive are such features appreciated by men who like their touring as well behind the wheel I of a car as in a tonneau seat." KAISER ACCUSED OF STARTING WAR Reichstag Deputy Denounces Ruler and Imperial Chancellor By Associated Press London, March 24.—Tlie German emperor and Chancellor von Beth mann-Hollweg were denounced In the relchstag by the Socialist deputy Kunert as the originators of the war, according to a Berlin dispatch to Ren tor's byway of Amsterdam. The Inci dent occurred Thursday during a de bate on the public health estimates. Vice-Chancellor Helfferlch, referring to Herr Kunert's remark, declared that a German who spoke in the same breath of Russian and German con ditions insulted his fatherland. The Socialist deputy retorted amid Social ist applause: "Because I compared German re actionaries with Russian revolutionists you say I insulted the fatherland. I should be proud if such progress were made in our country as has'been made In the Russian empire." Socialist Deputy Hoch, criticising the statistics of the president of the board of health, declared that they did not allow the formation of a conclusive judgment and that the president should not have painted such a rosy t picture of the health of tho population when "underfeeding is almost terrible and bound to affect the public health." Another Socialist stated that In many 1 establishments workmen had collapsed from hunger. SMITH FIRST IN NEW JAIL [Continued From First Paj;c] jail the jails in tho country and have served from ten days to six months in prison but never have T had the honor of dedicating a jail.

The lockup was installed several i months ago by West Falrview council to house intoxicants who frequented the town late at night and caused con sdierable trouble among residents. The town has been free from inebriates since Constable Shaull made the an nouncement that the new lockup would be named after the first pris oner. Residents of West Falrview are I much excited over tho matter to-day las many were of the opinion that the | new lockup would bear the naSke of one of iheir citizens. 9
