MILLIONS FOR RURAL WORK Methodist Centenary Will Provide $11,000,000 For Community Service N'cw York, March 15.—Commun ity of the United States is coming into a windfall of nearly $11,000,000 as a result of the Centenary Move ment of the Methodiet Episcopal Church to raise $120,000,000 for building hospitals, orphanages, churches, community centers, par sonages, etc., all over the world. Certain designated sums have been set aside for the different phases of American rural work including the • frontier territory" from the Rocky Mountains to the Pacific coast, the better agricultural section of the country reaching from the North Atlantic States to the Rocky Moun tains and the more sparsely settled regions embraced in that territory as well as in the South, the rural industrial communities, the "moun taineer white" districts of the South and the rural negro sectons of the country. This money is to be spent in pro viding adequate building and equip ment and leadership in rural com munity service. Other denomina ations are embarking on similar pro- What's Best for a Cold?

Mor- ] I gan, a prominent attorney and business man of Chicago, || was injured by an automobile in his home city from which ! he died a few hours later. Mr. Morgan had gone for a walk and was on his way |! home when the accident occurred. Ij Always a believer in insurance Mr. Morgan ten years ago !j purchased an accident policy in the j! General Accident Immediately upon being notified of the death of Mr. Mor- ; gan, the Chicago representatives of the GENERAL had the !| necessary proofs completed and handed the beneficiary a |! draft for ! Fifteen Thousand Dollars jj The GENERAL does not arrogate to itself any special !! praise for having handled this loss so expeditiously. It is the i! kind of service that makes accident insurance practical. We are demonstrating that fact in this city every day. Isaac Miller, Genl. Agt. KUNKEL BUILDING i| SATURDAY EVENING, grams and a working arrangement has been reached among the church es making up the Federal Council of Churches of Christ In America whereby the territory is divided up among the denominations so there will be as little duplication of work as possible. Nearly 1.500 definite, separate pro jects are Included In tho Methodist rural centenary program-erection of new churches, parsonages and com munity centers and remodeling of old and inadequate buildings. As its recent conference the Church and Country Life Commission of the Federal Council of Churches at Atlantic City, a resolution was pass ed urging the various organizations interested in rural community work to make the church the center of such activities, as in hundreds of communities it is recognized as ,tho agency best qualified in equipment and leadershp to house and direct community service projects. The resolution had special refer ence to the plans to provide some form of Liberty Hut as a memorial at the soldiers. The conference deemed the church in the best po sition to provide adequate, respon sible control for such huts, but rec ognized that the democratic prin ciple of local autonomy should pre vail In determining the local pro gram and the agency for putting it into effect. | Middietown Swatara Council, No. 858, jV.

Thompson Feature Service, 1919, Copyright [Continued from Yesterday.] Next day the Princess was carried oft to Wocrlitz by order of her brother, who had been informed of her precarious condition. "I tremble lest the world may condemn me," she wrote to her sick daughter a few days afterward — "you, my dear, in sorest need of a mother's care, and 1 seemingly en joying myself at this ever jolly Court. Hut what could I do? His Majesty would not offer me a bed at your present home, though, I understand, one hundred and tll'ty of the clmm bers in the Stadt Sell loss arc unoc cupied." Kaiser "Too Poor" to lie Recent Such brutality seems almost ln creditable, but Marshal Eulenburg offered a very lucid explanation. "If Her Royal Highness had been lodged at the Studt Schloss, it would have been necessary to give accommoda tions to her maid of honor and to two or three maids at the very least. That." said the Count, "meant the feeding of four or five persons, which we could ill afford." j Duchess Calma, the best-looking of the four Augustcnburg sisters, —• a very pretty woman with large blue eyes, a marvelously fine complexion of pink and white, and luxurious blonde hair, often stayed with us I during the Kaiser's long absences, ! and was kind and approachable, but painfully embarrassed" with stran gers. She had very little education, and was not naturally bright. The same may be said of her husband, Duke Frederick, who was really lit : tie more than a good-natured dunce, subject to fits of disagreeableness. i To- exemplify the penury prevail -1 ing in the ducal household. I need ! but mention, that, when His High ness was invited to fetch away his wife and little girls, he sent his I regrets, excusing himself with hav ing nothing to wear. Trouser-lcss Duke "The Kaiser's order, that all visit ing Princes must appear in uni ] form." he wrote, "makes it intpossi j ble for mc to comply with your gra. j cious request. My uniform coat and ; attila are still in good condition, 1 but my breeches are sadly in need jof new silver braid, and I cannot j afford to have them done up this j year." Starved Royal Highnesses The couple had four lovely chil | dren, only a little too ethereal were | these thin-limbed, narrow-chested j youngsters. I have often licard thcin I crying with hunger in the nursery, | There is a rumor that Her Royal 1 and once spoke to the Duchess about ! H. "Ah," said Her Highness, "they I get more than at home. X leave it entirely to their governess. When 1 remonstrate with her about undcr j feeding my little girls, she makes i answer: '1 want them to be tine and j English looking, not like fat German | children. Those are detestable'." j So this senseless mother, who mis -1 trusted her own judgment in ail | things, allowed her poor youngsters 'to be half starved, that a spleeny governess might have her way. To see these little Highnesses stealthily ! munch bread and sausage, the gift •of good-liearted chamber-women i and lackeys.—for they begged food ! of every one they caught hold of, — I was one of the parodies on royalty | encountered in the German Emper ! or's palace. The pretty youngsters with the i thin legs and hungry eyes appealed ! to every one's sympathy, save that ' of their stupid mother and the Kai ser, but as they were not his chil i dren, William woundn't say the word II hat would have brought instant re | lief to the pqor youngsters. What 1 was it to him whether, or not, one ! or more of his poor relations died, ! or was doomed to consumption'.' ' A royal person often-mentioned in these mpmoirs is the Duke of Schles- | ; wig. • Misfortune attended, for many | ; vears the Kaiserin s efforts to get, liter brother settled. She dearly loved this good hearted but wild I | boy \ hose sins against propriety she j [shielded more than once with her i own royal person when Gunther held j forth in the Palais Pourtales and the air was thick with rumors of orgies held at that doubtful estab lishment. | At such times Her Majesty used to j invite herself to breakfast at Gun-i ther's, and the announcement, duly published in the newspapers, had a! tendency to stop the tongues of i irreverent babblers, Surely, Her Ma- j jesty would not visit a house where! dancing girls were served for dessert | on shell platters, swimming in Col- i ogne water, and wlieie champagne! 1 was drunk out of slippers! 1 Finally, Gunther eugagpd himself j Ito the only daughter of Philip of | I Coburg, Princess Doiothy, then a lit-: | tie over fifteen yeais of age. "She i looked like a school miss, so in- I nocent and petite," reported Baron I | Windheim to Her Majesty. He had j seen th young lady at a dinner given ] lin her and Duke Gunther's honor: jby our Paris Ambassador. Others! j who attended the banquet say the| I Jewish blood of the Koharys is per- I ceptible in her features, and to no ' great advantage, either. While Count Munster's guests were listening to a concert, Princess Dor othy was rolling on the floor with a couple of big hounds. Tlie Kings llatcd William Meanwhile William's unpopularity with his royal brethren was on the increase. At the .English Court, it is true, he was tolerated as the "grand-son of Queen Victoria," but the English public revelled in King . Edward's dictum: that William was not, and could never be a gentleman, I or even imitate one. Hence his aversion to King i George, as displayed during the war, j and the cruelty of his air raids on London and English watering places, that had so often greeted and entertained him. Russia mistrusted William. The reasons were obvious, but the Kaiser refused to see them. In the early months of 1914, accordingly, he was forever talking of "punishing Nicky." He could have saved "Nicky's" life and that of the Czarina and her children, but because he was not on friendly terms with them, he let them be thrown Into the melting pot of his blood thirst. Italy had small reason for loving William. ' Therefore, "off with bis head, so much for Victor." Victor was to be discrowned, but the Pope was to be cheated also! Politics aside, William courted the displeasure of his royal colleagues, HARRISBURG G& £A* TELEGRAPH even filled them with fear, by his readiness to shower their face with kisses on the slightest provocation. One kiss wouldn't do, he thought it necessary to bestow at least three or four to attest his friendship. Now, a kiss, not to mention a suc cession of them, from a person said to be Infected with cancer, is no desirable commodity. Do you won der that kings fought shy of Wil liam's visits? Again, the Kaiser had many vul gar habits, among them that of slap ping his thighs during conversation. The noise he made and the motion itself were nerve-racking to some of the older monarchs—the Berlin court marshal's office has a safe full of letters to that effect, suggesting that the Kaiser's attention be drawn to the offenstveness of the habit. But. of course, no one dared at tempt such a thing as to correct an imperial boor. (To Be Continued) Challenges Hays to Put Republicans on Record By Associated Press. Men- York, March 15.—A challenge to Will H. Hays, chairman of tho Republican National Committee, to place his party on record with re spect to the League of Nations, was issued here last night by Homer S. Cummings. chairman of the Demo cratic National Committee, in an ad dress at a dinner in his honor at the National Democratic Club. Other speakers included Josephus Daniels, secretary of the navy; Car ter Glass, secretary of the treasury, and GoVernor Alfred E. Smith, of New Y'ork. "i had hoped, and I still hope," said Mr. Cummlngs, "that this great League of Nations project will not be come a partisan question. Is there any reason why Mr. Hays should not put his party upon record in this matter, so that the League of Na tions may have the support of both political parties and of ajl forward looking citizens generally." Leviathan to Carry 15,000 Persons Soon By Associated Press. New dork, March 13. Increase of the troop carrying capacity of the giant transport Leviathan by approx imately 2,500, so that the ship will carry including crew, more than 13.- 000 persons, is contemplated by the Navy Department, The plans it is said, are declared feasible by a board of army and navy officers after the arrival hero of the ship on her last voyage. The increased facilities will be ob tained, it is said, by utilizing space devoted to the promenade deck and to the huge swimming pool which was the pride of the great vessel when she was in the German mercantile ser vice as the Vaterland.
