LOVE FOR KAISER RECORDED

Affection for Fatherland in Orphan’s “Golden Book." Washington, Dec. 17. —Passionate Words of love for the fatherland and fervent expressions of confidence that Germany’s soldiers soon would vanquish the “jealous boastings .of the enemy,” were written on the pages of the/‘golden book of German war orphans” presented as evidence to the senate committee investigating German propaganda by Capt. George B. Lester of the army intelligence service. The ornate volume contained autographs of hundreds of American citizens —most of them born In Germany —who donated funds for German war orphans, in the winter of 1916, and the spring of 1917, even after diplomatic relations between the United States ar.d- Germany hadbroken.
