ALLIES DEMAND KAISER’S DEATH
BRITAIN INSISTS THAT ALL TEUTON, RULERS MUST \ STAND TRIAL. 1 X London, Dec. s.—(By British Wireless Service. —Sir Auckland Geddas, president of the Local Government and Minister of National Service, in a public address said that the policy advocated by the coalition government was a peace which, so far as the enemy powers were concerned, should be based on stern justice. He “declared that so far as these men who planned and started the war were concerned it should be founded on justice of the nature meted out in* tiie highest courts of the land. Such mein as the former German emperor, Enver Pasha and the former rulers of Bulgaria and Austria would trial, and if found guilty their lives would be the forfeit. “Men guilty of unspeakable atrocities upon our prisoners and upon the civilian inhabitants of the invaded lands,” he continued, “must stand trial, and if they are Condemned must suffer death.” lit had to be proved hqw far the commanders of submarines acted under orders which they had to carry out under pain of death, or how far they acted on their own-volition, he pointed out. But if the atrocities at sea were committed on the volition of individual cofhmanders, he declared, they, too, must suffer thef extreme penalty. , “Today is the day of reckoning for our enemies,” said the minister, “and they will have to pay to the uttermost farthing what it is possible to bring out of them. A German physician summoned frorp Berlin Tuesday iby the former German emperor arrived in Holland today on a special train, according to an Exchange Telegraph dispatch from Amsterdam. Three of the former emperor’s staff, the dispatch adds, have left Amerongen for Berlin. They are carryng many documents concerning the former emperor’s private property. A delegation from the Berlin Soldiers and Workers’ Council has arrived at The Hague, Holland, says a Berlin telegram, for the purpose of controlling the negotiations concerning the former German emperor at the legation. A Berlin dispatch of December 2 announced that a number of the Soldiers and Workers’ councils in Germany had requested the government to have the ex-emperor tried by a German tribunal. It was added, however, that the government would submit the question to the National Assembly, which body is not yet in being. During the debate in the Netherlands upper chamber yesterday Deputy Marchand expressed the opinion that should the presence of the former German emperor in Holland give rise to difficulties abroad the government must request him to return to Germany.

POETRY.

It has been a good day to forget that we have enemies, remember our friends, thank God the war is won and that we can again meet the sugar bowl face to face. If you had a grouch today you are pro-German or you are sick. If you were not happy today you should consult your doctor, your minister, or go before toe court and plead guilty to treason.
Just think, twelve friends remembered at Xmas by • dozen photos from Parker’s. Easy, isn’t it? If your stock dies call me at my expense and I will call for ft promptly. A. L. Padgett. Phono <5.
CLIMBS FENCE; GUN DISCHARGES
SON OF MRS. NELLIE MESSMAN ACCIDENTLY KILLED MONDAY AFTERNOON. A terrible accident in which Chuck Messman lost his life, occurred some time Monday afternoon, Dec. 2. Young Messman, who was about 15 years of age, took Ms gun and dog and went hunting Monday afternoon. He did not return in the evening. Why search was not made for him we do not know. However, Tuesday morning some boys started to look for him and found the body lying by a wire fence in the Dinwiddie pasture, just east of town. The boys ixpmediately rushed to town with the startling news and a crowd repaired to the scene. The boy’s body was found lying near the fence and his hat and dog were lying on the other side. Everything indicates that in climbing the fence and dragging his gun with him it was discharged, Jailing him instantly, the charge entering near the right temple and making a frightful wound. The body had 'laid there all night and the faithful .dog had 'kept vgiil on the opposite side of the fence. The accident occurred about 200 yards from where Fred Mohr was electrocuted several months ago.
Much sympathy is felt for the widowed mother,, who resides in the east part of town, and the unfortunate affai ris one of the saddest that has occurred in tins community.— Fowler Tribune.
AS TO CRITICISM OF PRESIDENT WILSON
A few very staunch admirers of President Woodrow Wilson in this city often speak of the lack of enthusiasm which is given the mentioning of the President’s name in public addresses made here. Toe community is criticized as being too partisan, or at least too strongly Republican. The assertion has been made that no good word is ever said here for the President. Any inan, who is the leader of one hundred and ten millions of Americans, must have a very great number of very commendable qualifications, and the person holding this exalted position is a man of great ability, but, possibly most of the people who differ with 'him about certain matters of public, interest, are as honest in their criticism as the admirers are in their praise of him. We regard the following editorial from the Indianapolis Star as a sample of fair comment: “President Wilson’s appointment of Carter Glass to be secretary of the treasury, is a commendable one and doubtless represents the final contribution of Mr. McAdoo to his altogether creditable administration of this important portfolio. The appointment is without political significance, as most of the President’s appointments are, for the new official comes from a section where no benefit can be derived from administrative favors. If it be objected that another Southern Democrat accedes to considerable power, there is a partial answer that the North contributes so few Democrats to public life and lately has still further restricted the proportion. “Perhaps we have all failed to realize -how scant courtesy, after all, the President has paid the Democratic organization. While he apointed no Republican politicians to the peace delegation, he also appointed to it no Democratic politicians. His selections, on the contrary, were guided by his uniform habit of choosing men from personal preference, more with a view to his own comfort and prestige than to any real or pretended solicitude for the Democratic party as such.
“It is a fait inference, moreover, that any lingering inclination he may have had to play party politics was effectually silenced at the November polls. An eminent appointee, selected on party grounds, was Mr. Bryan, but he did not last We can imagine how distasteful to Mr. Wilson’s personal conception of government must have been the demand for a Democratic congress, to include some of his most pestiferous critics, and it is not difficult to believe that his feelings on that score, now that the tragedy of his acquesence is at hand, may be expressed in the popular ejaculation, “Never again!” It is clear that the new secretary of the treasury did not want the place and apparently the motive in his selection was to fill the post with adequate quality.”
