72 YEARS OLD, DOESN'T KNOW WHO KAISER IS

OMAHA. Neb., March 4. Here Is a man, an American, who doesn't know who the kaieer is. He Is Richard Chatfleld, horse buyer, who lives at West Point, Neb. He was arrested by Deputy United States Marshal Qulgley and brought before United State Commissioner Neely on the charge of making threats against President Wilson. "Did you say that If the kaiser and President Wilson stood up side by side you would rather see the President hanged?" asked the commissioned. "I certainly did not. I don't even know who tte kaiser Is. I've heard such a thing talked about, but I don't know whether it's a person or a thing or a beast," protested Chatfleld. "Well, it's a beast," said the commissioner. A number of witnesses were present from West Point They said Chat-, field made the statements, but admitted that he probably was intoxicated and that they had teased him some about his horses. Mrs. E. E. Wright, wife of a salesman for the Wright & Wilhelmy company. Is a daughter of Chatfleld, and she interjected defensive remarks throughout her father's testimony and pleaded for him. Chatfield is 72 years old and was born in New York of British ancestry. "I voted for President Wilson and I shook hands with him when he was here Just before the election," he stated. "I think he did as well as any man could do In bis position." '

sessing votes, as they do, your stay in the United States, though brief, is likely to prove of inestimable value in promoting a friendlier policy of this

Republic towards Germany."

"Do you really think I have suc

ceeded in this?" exclaimed the Prince,

with signs of marked pleasure and

satisfaction on his kindly and frank sailor face. "I am very glad, more

than glad, to hear you say so. That in

deed has been the object of my visit." I do not think that I am betraying

any confidence in repeating this remark of the Prince, who showed by his manner, and by the trend of his public speeches and private conversations throughout his stay here, the purpose which he had in view, and whose transparent honest, so eloquently expressed by his eyes and bearing, dispelled any doubt as to his sincerity. Fruits of Prince Henry's Visit. The short-sighted and the superficial observers assumed that the Prince's visit, undertaken at the worst season of the year, was merely for the purpose of propitating the United States by means of an unusual royal compliment, and in that way obliterating from the minds of the American people the unkindly memories of Germany's attitude during the war with Spain, with particular reference to Manila Bay. And when it was observed that while everyone who had met the Prince had experienced a pronounced personal dislike for him, there were no immediate tilgns of any improvement in the attitude of the Washington Government toward Germany, nor yet in the tone of the American press, irrespective of political party, it was rashly assumed that his visit had been a failure, and the Kaiser's maneuver in sending him with olive branches across the Atlantic Mas generally described as having missed fire. Yet this was an altogether mistaken impression. Prince Henry's visit to the United States was a great political success, of which the results are now for the first time becoming publicly apparent. At one time it seems to me that it was some three or four years ago the Kaiser's exceptionally clever policy with regard to the United States was teriously compromised by a piece of extraordinary tactlessness on the part of the German Naval League. This is an organization with headquarters at Berlin avowedly formed for the purpose of collecting subscriptions, and for influencing the popular votes, throughout the German Empire toward the construction of a navy large enougn to wrest the supremacy of the seas from Great Britain. All the literature of the organization, nay, eveu the very collecting boxes, were expressive of this idea, and of more or less latent antagonism to England. An Over Zealous Appeal. In a foolish moment, the leaders of the League despatched many hundreds of thousands of appeals for subscriptIons, not only to German subjects residing in the United States, but also to American citizens of German birth or ancestry. Some of the these circulars fell Into the hands of the press over here, and several influential newspapers took the matter up and denounced the circulars as impudent in the extreme, in inviting American cit

izens of German origin to furnish funds to a movement that had for its object

the maritime supremacy of Germany: that is to say, German's superiority at sea to the United States. There Is one paper in particular, namely, the New York Times, which in its editorial columns took upon itself, in commenting upon the circular, to remind these American citizens of German birth, that their first duty is to the land of their adoption, to which they have sworn loyalty, solemnly adjuring their former political obligations; also that their contributions to the construction of a German navy superior to that flying the Stars and Stripes, would be nothing short of an act of rank treason to the United States. The Kaiser was so infuriated by this faux pas of the German Navy League, that he did not rest until he had secured the removal of the officials responsible for the mistake, and the election in their stead of leaders subject to his immediate control and direction. If my memory serves me, this country was in the throes of a presidential campaign, so that this incident did not attract the widespread attention that it deserved. At any rate, it did not materially impede the

FEE8 NOT PAID ANDERSON. March 4. W. H. Glidewell and W. E. Lowe, examiners of the state board of accounts, have discovered that no license fees have been paid since 1902 by pool rooms, theatres, bowling alleys, shooting galleries, etc., though an ordinance requires a fee of $10 a year. It is

thought the reason the fees weren't

collected wag because the word "re

pealed" is written beside the ordinance in the record book. Mystery shrouds

Everything that could tend to promote affectionate memories of the Fatherland in the breasts of GermanAmerican citizens, has been and is being done in the most systematic manner, under direction from Berlin. Magnificent Bibles, with appropriate autograph inscriptions, have been presented by the Emperor and Empress to innumerable Lutheran churches in this country. Costly prizes have been given by the Emperor to the various Liederkranz societies and Turnvereins, in fact, to nearly every society which has been formed to foster in one way or another the union of German-Americans; and the expenditure in the way of trophies and cups, in pieces of statuary, and in handsomely framed portraits of William II, would cut a deep hole in his privy purse, were it not defrayed by the Pan-Germanic Society, which, under government direction, exists for the purpose of thus turning to the interest of Germany the votes possessed by men of- German race beyond the sea. as citizens of the

Radium is Now Offered to All Great Curative Property for Rheumatism Can Now Be Tried at Home. $ Radium is one of the most efficient curative properties for rheumatism known to medical science. But Radium treatments In the past have been enormously expensive and the cost has prohibited the average man or woman who suffered from rheumatism from trying it. Either the sufferer had to journey to some hot springs to drink the water containing the radium emanations or go to an institution known as an "Emanatorium" where the radium treatment was taken by inhaling the gas or emanations given off from a quantity of pure radium. Now, however, the radium treatment is not expensive. Sufferers from rheumatism can try radium right in their own homes and the cost is no greater than the cost of ordinary medicines. The manufacturers of Tanlac, the most widely known general system tonic in America, have placed a medi. cine for rheumatism on the market and it contains radium. Tanlac Rheumatism Treatment, under which name the new medicine 's being in troduced, is complete. It consists of a tablet for internal use and

a medicament for external use. Each of the tablets for internal use produces four mache units of genuine radium emanation. If you suffer from the aches and pains and twinges of rheumatism get Tanlac Rheumatism Treatment today and get a real medicine for this dreaded complaint. You can get Tanlac Rheumatism Treatment at any good drug store where you get Tanlac, the famous tonic. Adv.
