KAISER OFF THE THRONE?

SO SAYS CABLE FROM HOLLAND TODAY—EITEL, SIXTH SON, TO ASCEND THRONE? The following wire was received at the Wagner Grain office this Saturday noon: “New York, Jy. 14. —It is reported in Holland today that the Kaiser has abdicated the throne and that it will be given to his sixth son.” Eitel, the youngest, is the sixth son. Copenhagen, July 18. —Serious news came from Berlin today. The Reichstag has gone on strike and the members have decided to suspend the labors both of the full house and the main committee, until the political situation is cleared up. This leaves the war credit bill in abeyance. Emperor William has summoned Field Marshal von Hindenburg, chief of the general staff, and Generel Ludendorff, chief quartermaster general, for a conference: This news should be interpreted in connection with intimations that the German government has decided to refuse to parliamentarize the cabinet and the difficulties in connection with the adoption of a peace resolution.
