KAISER PRAISES SELF FOR GIVING UP FULLJOWER His Office is One of Service for. the People, He Says in Letter to Maximilian. AMSTERDAM. Nov. 5. By the Associated Press. On the occasion of the constitutional amendment coming into force, says an official telegram from Berlin, Emperor William addressed to Prince Maximilian of Baden, the German Imperial chancellor, a decree indorsing the decisions of the relchstag and avowing his firm determination to co-operate in their full development. The Emperor's decree reads: "Your Grand Ducal Highness: "I return herewith ' for immediate publication, the bill to amend the imperial constitution and the law of March 17. 1879, relative to the representation of the imperial chancellor, which has been laid before me for signature. "On the occasion of this step, which Is so momentous for the future history of the German people I have a desire to give expression to my feelings. Prepared for by a series of government acts, a new order comes into force which transfers the fundamental lights of the Kaiser's person to the people. Praises Own Rule. "Thus comes to a close a period which will stand In honor before the eyes of future generations. Despite all struggles between invested authority and aspiring forces. It has rendered possible to our people that tremendous development which imperishably revealed itself in the wonderful achievements of this war. "In the terrible storms of the four years of war, however, old forms have been broken ud. not to leave their

ruins behind but to make a place for a new vital form. "After the achievements of these times, the German people can claim that no right which may guarantee a free and happy future shall be withheld from them. "The proposals of the allied governments, which are now adopted and extended, owe their origin to this conviction. I, however, with my exalted allies, indorse these decisions of parliament in firm determination, so far as I am concerned, to co-operate in their full development convinced that I am thereby promoting the weal of the German people. Now for "The People." "The Kaiser's office is one of service to the people.. May, then, the new order release all the good powers which our people need in order to support the trials which are hanging over the empire and with a firm step within win a bright future from the gloom of the present. "Berlin. Oct. 28, 1918. (Signed) "WILHELM I. R. (Countersigned) "MAX, Prince of Baden." HOLD MEMORIAL SERVICE.

This column, containing news f Richmond and Wayne county soldiers and sailors, will appear daily In the Palladium. Contributions will be welcomed. Joseph A. Hillman, who has been training at Valparaiso, has been transferred to the Motor Transport Corps at Fort Sheridan, Ills. His present address is Company 3, Barracks 5. "We are near a town made famous by the Americans on a very recent drive," writes Kenneth W. Toler in a letter to The Palladium. "I would like to describe the place, its ruined buildings, it ancient church, now one mass of crumbled stone. . This town is the base for our regiment and quite near the trenches. We are shelled almost every day; see airplane fights, balloon fights, etc., every day. All this seems almost commonplace to us now. "We have had some exceedingly funny experiences, and of course, some sad ones." Robert Close of the Indianapolis Training Detachment is ill at his home In Cambridge City. Mr. and ' Mrs. W. A. Clements of South Twelfth street, have received word that Sergeant Russel Joy of the 38th Cyclone Division has arrived safely overseas. James Raiden, a nephew of Mrs. Margaret Ayler of Cambridge City, has been wounded in France, according to word received here. Sergeant Porter James Burroughs has returned to Camp Funston, Kas., after spending a few days with his sisters, Mrs. Fred Brewster and Mrs. O. C. Parker. He is in Battery F, 30th F. A., and expets to be sent over seas soon. "The boys who have not crossed over here to France," says Wilson Taggert in a recent letter, "have missed a great deal, not only from the army standpoint, but from the travel standpoint as well. I will tell of a trip I took on the 28th of September. I rented one of these French bicycles (not the kind we have) for five francs ($1) and rode the "old steed" to one of the most famous chateaus in all Europe. A great deal of history is connected with it and the walls of the castle show plainly that they have withstood many seiges back in the Middle Ages. The moat and the old drawbridge still stand. Parks and grounds are expensive and very beautiful: hundreds of deer run loose and are very tame. The chateau proper is very strongly built with stone walls. The rooms are all furnished in different colors with draperies to match. 1 do not have sufficient time to go i into details. "Just tell the people back there that we are seeing lots and I think we are keeping kaiser Bill sweating." Mr. and Mrs. Everett Helms have received word their brother, Corporal Chester Helms, is in a base hospital recovering from a wound. He expects to be back with his company In a few days. , Captain A. L. Bramcamp was In the city Saturday and Sunday on his way to Allentown, Penna., where he will be stationed at Camp Crane. "If I ever get back to the U. S. A., only Uncle Sam and his army can ever get me out of the States again," writes Huber B. Reigle, who is in the sanitary department on active service in France, in a letter to Mr. and Mrs. Walter Snavely. "I just came out of the trenches about ten days ago, and take it from me, we have got them on the run and we are not giving them any time to dig in; it isn't trench warfare any more; it is all in the open.

Hope so, as I am ready to come - back where things are all right "Everything works backward here in France even to the dampers on the stove pipes. "I was down in Alsace about two months ago, near Belford. There yon can very nearly see over into Germany. Standing on one hill on clear days you could eee the Alps covered with snow. "I got some German money down there that the world knows Isn't going to be good very long. - "The other day I saw a good sized city that had been shelled. If you saw where the cyclone went through Newcastle you would have some idea of how that place looked. There wasn't a person in town, and not a building that had not been hit." "The boys of the U. S. A. are see

ing things that other people in future years will pay thousands of dollars to see." Word has been received here that Dr. Mora Bulla has been made a captain. - . "We have enough Americans over here in Europe to move all the Germans clear off their own land, and it won't be long until that is done eith er," writes Corporal Ray Aiken in a letter to his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Aiken. "Things are sure mov ing fast now. I will be home by next June, anyway. "Our meal3 are getting better all the time. We are having doughnuts to eat now, and seems funny to have them away over here.

Mrs. William Winters, of Rural Route B, has received word that her brother. Corporal J. F. Langel has arrived safely overseas.

German Prisoners

For Wounded "Time after time following our drive in the St. Mihiel sector I saw German prisoners carrying our wounded to the rear, and they seemed glad to do It," wrote Lieutenant Robert Thornburg in a recent letter to realtives here. Excerpts from his letters follow: "The tribute of one German colonel to our barrage was evident when he requested that he might Eee our gun that shot the three inch shells. "I suppose you have read ' of the smash in the St. Mehiel sector, where the boche were driven in a hurry. The papers say I believe that we took 18,000 prisoners. . I saw a great many of them and countless other interesting events, of which I'll tell you some time. : "The whole drive was so enormous and unreal that to look back on it now seems like a wild dream. !. The first two days I was in charge of a regimental train consisting of sixty wagons, a couple hundred horses and several hundred men, and now that it is all over and we are back in our rest billets, I am just beginning to realize all we went through. To add to our troubles it rained all the time. The one redeeming feature was that we had plenty to eat. "Yesterday I met the first man from home I have seen. He was Carl Maag. Naturally we were pretty glad to see each other. He has been over since May. "We are now in comfortable barracks close to a queer old French town. The place is on a mountain surrounded by walls which are on the top of a high cliff. A river winds through the valley 200 feet below a WASHINGTON, Nov. 4.

A suggestion made by Sir Albert Stanley, president of the board of trade, that all church services be held in daylight on account of the serious coal shortage is to be adopted, it is announced, in many London churches. An exception will be made, however. In the case of Westminster Abbey.. "The evening service," said Canon Charles of Westminster Abbey, "is a special litany and It appeals to a large number of people who cannot attend worship in the afternoon and ,for that reason it is considered necessary not to make any alteration.''. Evening services at St. Paul's cathedral were discontinued, last year as a precaution against air raids on account of the difficulty of subduing the cathedral's lights.

American Soldiers most beautiful place. ' "Since I wrote last I have visited the famous city of Nancy, and quite a number of interesting places. Nanc7 is a large place and not unlike Paris. "I am now riding a horse, and can say that I have been in the saddle most of the time for the past two weeks. Its a bit different than riding a motor cycle as assistant adjutant of the 150th at Camp Shelby. I didnt know what an easy job I had there. I understand that the 150th is over here now, but have seen none of them. "I can say that I never felt better in my life. Haven't even a cold."
