GERMANS ASSAIL KAISERISM IN MASSMEETING Adopt Resolution Urging German People to Overthrow Autocracy.

NEW YORK, Feb. 19. An appeal to the people of Germany to rid themselves of the kaiser and kalserlsm and open the way to a democ ratio peace was adopted by a mass meeting of American citizens of German descent, held In the Grand Central Palace last night under the auspices of the Friends of German Democracy. The appeal will be scattered over Germany by American airplanes under the direction of the war department, It was announced. There was one outstanding feature of the meeting three hours of condemnation of the Kaiser and his autocratic government brought not. one word of dissent from those who attended the open meeting. There have been many gatherings of German-Americans in New York in the recent past when the kaiser has been pilloried, and It has been the rule that there have been at least a few dissenters, but there were none last night. (The speakers made much of the statement of President Wilson that this country was not at war with the German people, but with the present German government; and like emphasis was laid upon the statement, credited to the President, that no peace could be bad with the present rulers of Germany. Firm to Obtain U. 8. Victory. The resolutions, which were presented by Dr. Frank Boon, began by stating that German-Americans were firm In their determination to do all In their power to obtain the victory of the allied cause, and added: Therefore, be it resolved by the members of the Friends of German Democracy and other citizens In mass meeting assembled at the City of New York on this 16th dar of February, 3318: We assure the German people that It Is this profound conviction which has unified us as a people and which gives unyielding strength to our resolve. We assure the German people that our American people, though they loathe the military autocracy of the German Empire, do not hate the German people; that racial hatreds have no place in the heart of a nation composed of all the races of the earth. We assure the German people that they hope In vain to attain peace before their military autocracy Is destroyed or rendered harmless. And we urge the German people to assert themselves of their autocrats. In order to establish a democratic Germany, the best guarantee of a Just and peaceful world order. And be It further Resolved. That the foregoing statement be approved and adopted and be circulated by the Friends of German Democracy throughout the United States for signatures and that it be forwarded to an ddistrlbuted among the people of Germany. Jacob H. Schiff sent a message to the meeting in which he pledged his aid to the movement to spread democratic propaganda in Germany. In his message he said: "Freed from the handicap of an autocratic militaristic government, no good reason will likely exist why the former good relations between the American people and the people of Germany should not be re-established. In the endeavor of your society to bring nearer the accomplishment of this I wish you every success and shall be prepared to co-operate." German Indicts Kaiser. A bitter Indictment of the kaiser was made by Frederick Ludwlg Hoffman, a native of Germany. He said that his family for 1,000 years had been among those who won honor in Germany, and that he himself had been fortunate enough to win many honors and to uphold the lustre of his German ancestry. In an eloquent appeal he referred to the making of peace at the end of the civil war as "peace without hate." and said that was the kind of peace the American people would be ready to make with a democratic Germany. He said that the German people under the kaiser were to be pitied, and that the German people must be awakened from their lethargy and made to realize that "Emperor and kaiser must go that the people may live." Walter Damrosch, a native of Germany, said the plight of the German people might be understood by considering that, while the American schoolboy was taught that America was bounded by the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, Canada, and the Gulf of Mexico, the German schoolboy was taught that Germany was a country surrounded by enemies. He said that Mind faith In "military necessity" had been able to make of a gentle professor a monster and of a clergyman of God a heathen priest practicing human sacrifies. "The acceptance of the doctrines that 'military necessity' makes right crimes for the nation from which the individual would shrink with horror has made Germany a pariah among

nations, he said.

"All nations have drawn away from

her as from something unclean."

Couute6s Alida von Krockow, a

New York woman by birth, who is the widow of a German official, told of the

private attitude of the German upper

classes. She said that In writing a life of Bismarck she had found a letter he wrote in 1852 outlining a plan for instilling into the German people

Employers in Need Work" as Much as

of "Missionary

Men, Says Babson

WASHINGTON, Feb. 19. Failure of manufacturers to increase wages In keeping with the advance In the cost of living, "may be the weakness of our industrial structure.' according to Roger W. Babson, special agent of the employment service of the department of labor, whose views gained during a recent trip through the west, are set forth today in an employment service bulletin. Although starting his trip with, the idea of educating the workers to the needs of the present situation, Mr. Babson. says he "returned with the idea that the manufacturers, especially those in some localities need fully as much 'missionary work as do workers." "The labor difficulty at present is one of improper distribution rather than of shortage. The complaints of manufacturers, I found, have arisen not so much from their difficulty in obtaining labor, but in their difficulty in obtaining It at the prices which the manufacturers desire to pay.- My principal difficulty was in convincing manufacturers of the increase in the cost of living to wage earners and in the reasonableness of advancing wages. "The manufacturers who are not complaining about paying advances of 100 percent or more for materials which they must use, are strenuously objecting to paying a fraction of this advance in wages. "In many ways manufacturers are more liberal than wage earners. They cheerfully pay heavy taxes, give boun-

Mrs. F. W. Stephens Describes Trip

a friendly fellow tourist, -who knew, to enter the Yellowstone Park at the Yellowstone entrance. This vast territory of 2,142,720 acres lies partly In Montanta and Idaho, narrow strips on the north and west, but mostly in Wyoming. Into the park flows the Yellowstone River on its 4,000 mile journey. There are excellent roadways to all the interesting parts and in seeing these we registered 208 miles. We encountered our absolutely first rain Just as we were entering, but preliminaries arranged we traveled right on and when we reached our first point, "Old Faithful" auto camp and shelter, the shower was over. The geysers are the wonder-features of the Park, of which there are said to be 84, no two of them alike. The Constant Geyser throws up a Jet of water about 20 feet high at intervals of one minute. Giant Geyser shoots up a column. 200 to 250 feet every seven to

j twelve days. The waters of "Old

Faithful," known for 40 years to white man, spout up 150 to 175 feet every fifty to seventy minutes, sending out 3,000 gallons per eruption. We witnessed this boiling water leap from its well four or five times, once by flashlight. There are little bowls of water so clear you mistake Its presence on all the sides of the travertine terracies up to the deep one, which defies measurement The whole region, which is volcanic, seems uncanny, your footing feels uncertain, a sort of secret fear that it may all blow up or sink in at any moment. The Norris Geysers, which are chiefly mud, number sixteen. Throughout this section you encounter fearful fumes of sulphur and steaming gases, the masses of . roaring mud make hideous noises and the whole region savors of the "Pit." We saw a new mud geyser, spouting an ugly stream of stuff every thirty minutes. It had been known only five days and confirmed your shaky sensations that others might spring up as you walk over the lid of the boiling pot. "Hell Roaring River," describes one section of the stream. A whole mountain is complaining from the commotions within and Is called "Roaring Mountain." sounds like near thunder and reminds of Riley's "When the World Busts Through." Mammoth hot springs are specially beautiful when seen between five and six o'clock in the evening, the rays of the setting sun at that hour lighting them in a way to give the greatest variety of color. Every hue is reflected in the overflowing basins, the outside of the china-like bowls are also tinted. Here is nature's wonderfully lovely buffet, every dainty cup in her diningroom closet running over with liquid beauty. Punch Bowl. The Morning Glory and Pansy Springs are each particularly pretty. We enjoyed our ride along the Yellowstone Lake, through the Golden Gate and Viaduct, and Kepler Cascades, but our supreme admiration was in reserve for the Grand Canyon, which though only 20 miles long and 1,000 feet deep, contains a piece of scenery, the most magnificent, a most glorious kaleidoscope of color, a bit of nature's handiwork, the most sublime. In this gorge are the Upper Falls, 109 feet in height and the Lower 367 feet. We silently witnessed the Canyon from the Brink from Point Lookout, or Grand View, Inspiration Point and Artist's Point, a feast for eyes, mind and heart, standing on these heights, one perceives he has no power to picture, he can only let the lofty, sublime vision stamp itself on his soul, he stands before the best God ever made. The run out from the Park was delayed a day. Just as we were ready to leave we discovered a broken spring, which could not be replaced till we reached Cody but "Little Ben" carried his own kit of tools and mechanic. We had no further hindrances till we made Minneapolis and there we staid four days, rain-bound. Another king of river in that city too floods of kindness, "strangers and they took us in" friends whose care was almost parental (for our comfort) Their cottage on Minnehaha Creek at our disposal, one of the Providential happenings of our journey which we like to record. We came over the Yellowstone Trail from the Park to Minneapolis, we took the Red Ball from there to Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and used the Lincoln Highway to Chicago.

There "Little Ben" . marched . down State street through the thick of the traffic, as if he were doing Centerville. Hard things done make big ones little, why shouldn't he after bringing his outfit over a 5,000 mile road without an accident? Our greatest outlay was for gas, 333 gallons at as average of 25c per. Aside from the cost of the new set of tires, which are now almost as good as new as when purchased, the expense of our journey was much less than by train. The roads we left farthest away, California's are the best In national reputation, New York state's come next and Indiana's our own,
