How Kaiser WJlhelm "Bluffed" His Wife _______ It was a dreadful ordeal, this reading of anonymous letter number one; and as we were in the midst of it the door opened and in walked Wilhclm, deadly pale, holding in his hand an envelope of the same size and similarly inscribed as the one that brought Her Majesty's letter. Countess Broekdorff and myself rose to withdraw, but the Kaiser stopped us. "Stay," he shouted, "my wife may need you after I have shown her this," and he threw the envelope on ACHES AND PAINS QUICKLY RELIEVED You'll find Sloan's Liniment softens the severe rheumatic ache Put it on freely.

Our mistress gave it a frightened look. "The same as my own!" she gasped. You may imagine the ex planations that followed: William's ravings, his vows of vengeance, Au guste Victoria's hysterics, her tears and noble declamations of unshak able trust in her beloved husband's fidelity. "And the best of it was," said the Kaiser's sister, the Princess of Meiningen, after things had settled down a bit, "my big brother totally escaped censure for his escapade. In the act of whitewashing him of the terrible accusations, launched forth in the Billingsgate of the mess-room, the facts underlying the whole business were lost sight of." So entire'y were they forgotten that, indeed, the relations between the Emperor and Countess Ilohenau and his other favorites continued undisturbed for the next two years. Thousands of Anonymous Itags During all that time a thousand and more letters of the character described were delivered at the homes of Berlin and Potsdam up pertendom; from Kaiser to clubman, from the iirst lady in the land to the last of Court society women, no body, who was anybody, was spared. The letters came through the or dinary mail, at all hours of the day and evening, postmarked now from this, now from that quarter of the capital or town, and always an nouncing their damnable character by the letter style adopted. The car rier that brought them, 'the lackey or maid receiving them from his hands, recognized the Cain's brand as readily as the quick-witted sou brette taking the note to her trem bling mistress, or the Major-domo, the Chamberlain, or lady-in-waiting (JuticuraSoap and Ointment for Skin Troubles All drnffriHtx: Soup 28.

An American Lady Escaped 'The only handsome woman the anonymous letters did not frighten •from Court was the Countess Sophie Sclilitz do Oortz, a beautiful South American, born on an estate neat- Paris while her father was on a diplomatic mission in Europe. 1 have already recorded the Kai ser's opinion of Her Ladyship: "So beautiful a woman can hardly be expected to have sense too." Dur ing her annual visits at Court, he treated her with cold courtesy, and | was so little inclined to grant her j a friend's privileges, that on one j occasion she was forbidden the royal j table for three days—that is, until her Court dresses, lost in a railroad smash-up, had been replaced. De spite the Empress's entreaties, the j Kaiser would not hear of the least i deviation from etiquette in favor of the unlucky dame. ! Wilhclm Attacked l-'or Meanness, i Among the ever recurring themes I discussed in the numerous rags was) the Kaiser's meanness. He was j told over and over aguin that, while] fifty years ago, Karl of Prussia was j known as Thaler-Prinz, the Kaiser j would be remembered as "Mark—(2s cents) Prince." Those stories of a king's ransom that "he ties in diamonds, round his mistress's white neck" are inventions, i and not particularly original ones, 1 either. Though indulging in the j greatest extravagances where his own self is concerned, the egotism that rules his every act probably persuades him that his friends ought to consider the honor of the alten- I tion of an Imperial Majesty as an I offset against disappointments of a financial nature. Speaking of diamonds, the Duke of Schleswig showed me a specimen bracelet of the sort the Emperor occasionally gives to a friend. A pretty Potsdam girl had lent it to him in a burst of confidence. It was I a gold snake bracelet, elaborately chased, with eyes of sapphires, and ; six or seven circles, "Not worth much, but of good workmanship," said the Prince. "See. it can be drawn out and spread from wrist to elbow, or over the upper part of tho arm." As tin- average great mnii is rath er a nincompoop in liis valet's eyes, so the mighty Kaiser appeared a wee small potato to those of his subjects j who saw much of liini, tliat is, those > jm -emitted to penetrate (lie mask of j imperial pretense, limitless conceit | woi<- ,V, " 8 subtcrf,, e c ~e habitually The Princess of Meiningen hit the nail on the head when he pronounced tau '• brotl,er " a fiTcat charletan."

General Jan Christian Smuts, the peace conference commissioner to Hungary, placed his proposals be fore the Hungarian Communist gov ernment Saturday. "Rut," the government's reply added, "relying on the good will dis played in such an unaccustomed niannei by you, we beg you to in terpret the following proposals to the Entente powers: "First, the Soviet government also is disposed to create a neutral zone, but solely on the condition that the frontier thereof is shifted eastward to the Maros lino and that the Soviet republic shall administer without interference in the territory occu pied by the allied troops, thus al lowing the Soviet republic to be re established in Szegodin and Arad. There shall he free intercourse from the neutral zone both in the direc tion of Hungary and Rumania arid free transit in the Transylvanian territory occupied by Rumania.

Germany Will Report Her Ability to Pay For Food April 15 PariH, April B.—Germany's ability to continue paying for the food ship ments made under the Brussels agreement, it is learned, cannot be determined before April 15 when the German government expects to have a report on the surrender to the gov ernment of German owned foreign se curities which is in progress. The allied financial delegates, meanwhile, continue the general dis cussion with the German delegation at Senlis of the value and availability! of particular securities, so that when the German report on surrendered securities is received it will be easy to calculate to what extent they can be used in financing food imports. ROAD I.OAN BIUi PASSES The measure sponsored by Repre sentative Hugh A. Dawson, I.ack wanna, authorizing a fifty million dollar bond issue for state highways, passed the Senate finally this morn ing, without a dissenting vote. The bill, which was passed by the House some time ago, now goes to the Gov ernor for his signature. BIG DEMAND FOR CAMP SERVICE War Community Work Must Meet Call Greater Than During Conflict The need of volunteers for com munity service is greater to-day than it ever was before the signing of the armistice. AVar Camp Community Service, which took care of soldiers, sailors and marines in towns near their camps, must now meet a call for service more widespread and greater in volume than when the war was on. Secretary of War Newton D. Baker has sent a letter of apprecia tion to War Camp Community Ser vice's national headquarters in New York. While working for the war more than 8,000 men and women and in many cases, children helped War Camp Community Service to care for the men in service. In some communities a few of these relaxed their interest when the fighting stopped, but in the vast majority of cases, the volunteer workers dis played no intention of dropping their patriotic work and resuming idle and comparatively useless lives. These workers and those of or ganizations in active co-operation with AVar Camp Community Service have been trained to usefulness and responsibility. But even their ca pacity has been taxed by the de mands of after-war service. The enre of the soldier is greater than ever because it must follow him through demobilization back in APRIL 8. 1919 to civilian life. Already the prob lem of locating employment oppor tunities calls for many more volun teers than are available. Morever, the cities are themselves calling for community service and this call must be answered. In each city must be met the de mand for making the leisure time of employes profitable to them selves, to their employers and their home city. The community needs of each city ape varied and import ant. It is the volunteer workers alone who can make a neighborhood out of the city and "folks" out of its citizens, who will work together to make that city a better place to live in. | Co-operation of volunteers during [ war time will be still greater and | more far reaching during peace.
