THE KAISER DISPOSED OF.
How American Soldiers in a Herman
Town Handed the Kaiser—
in Effigj.
EVAMELLST SOKiHT ON |
OHARUES OK TWO GIRLS.
Coblenz, <j ermaiiy, March—(By
Mail)—There has been plenty of dis-
cussion back in a dozen different
lands about the great moral issue
what ougth to be done with Kaiser
Willielm whose rogue's gallery al- ,ous |ia,rts of
ias is Bill the Crook A group of
American soldiers in the little Ger-
iiian village of Mayen settled the
question summarily one night iby
hanging that arrogant ruler, without
beuetit of clergy. When they had got-
ten him hanged, they went on to be-
head him, and they didn't even let it
go at that. Nothing but dust was left
of Kaiser Hill when they were done
with him.
''Maybe we'll go to the guardhouse I
for this, but we'll tell the world it's i
worth it," they said, while engaged!
in their gory work.
It spoiled the fun a little that the
Kaiser they hanged was only an effi-
gy. Still, they did the best they could.
and no one should blame them for
Council Bluffs, Iowa., March 126.—
Police of Des Moines, Sioux City and
other points have been appealed to by
the Council Bluffs chief to arrest Rev.
John W. Hook, who is wanted for al-
leged intimate relations with two
young women. Hook has been con-
ducting evangelistic services in var-
owa and resided here.
! According to the story told by Ethel
Johnston and Mary Axtell, Hook told
thorn he was conducting a Christian
home. A nicely furnished room he
ushered them into was theirs to use
until they could secure employment.
The girls claimed Hook entered their
room after they had retired-. A sign
on the front door of the Hook home
says he has gone to Davenport to hold
,a revival.
IK DISTILLERS (10 TO HEX H O.
It is reported from Mexico that, in
case prohibition goes into force in the
United States, the southern republic
will permit within its borders the es-
tablishment by Americans of brewer-
that. II the Wllhelm wishes to come;'*1 and distilleries, subject to certain
around and make application through rul.s and regulations. Such permis
the proper channels, they are perfect-
ly willing to give him their best at-
tention.
There had been at least two stat-
sion, if taken advantage of by Ameri- !
can brewers distillers, seems almost
I certain to lead to complications. The'
Mexicans are not now, to any great
extent, users of the kinds of beverage

one knew exactly what became of it.
It simply went from there. The "Y"
had no use for it.
The real monument remained an
.yjre to the affronted gaze of the
American soldiers, on one of the
prominent village corners. It was
tilers produce. The establishment
referred to. therefore, if permitted on
the Mexican side of the line, would
presumably exist primarily for the
purpose of supplying liquor illegiti-
mately to customers on the northern
side. At best, the Mexican border has
long been a serious problem for the
United States. With breweries, dis-
tilleries and saloons stretched along
it on the Mexican side, and with
one of the world's greatest incentives

WAR
HI T THEN CAME THE DAY when the nation squared its jaw and turned its face toward war when
industry in general lined up behind the nation in one solid phalanx to bring about the Great Result,
THERE WAS NO LONGER AN ABl NDAPiCE of labor and material availablle for any purpose not di
rectly connected with the prosecution of the war. Thousands of highly trained telephone men and
women were called upon to devote their time and skill to meeting the needs of the government
AND NEITHER W AS THERE the same normal demand for service. The candle was burning at both
ends. While the suplies of the things that made service possible at all fell far below normal, the
demand for the service rose steadily until it reached the hig-water mark in all our exchanges.
WE GAVE during this period the best telephone service that war-time conditions would permit but
it was not and could not be the same type of service that the public eujoyed in days of peace.
RECONSTR UCTION
WE HAVE GONE TIIKOl'lill the troubled period erf war and we face today the important period of
reconstruction.
BI T IT IIVS NOT BEEN POSSIBLE to overcome in a few months the handicaps imposed by nearly
two years of a restricted supply of labor and material l-argo numbers of additional employes can-
not be trained to the highest point of efficiency in so short a period of time, nor can new cables and
switchboards be improvised.
WE HAVE NOT YET BEEN ABLE, under these coonditions. to bring your telephone service back to
the same high standard that characterized it in pre-war days, but teets show a substantial im-
provement in the service and we think that a continually improved service will be possible.
THE SAME POLICY of striving to give the public the- best telephone service known still exists, but
our facilities are limited in places and it's necessary at times to differentiate between tho more
important and less important service and to care for the more important first. However, we hope in
a short time to care for all demands for service.
May we expect -your confidence and co operation while waiting for
that period ofnormatity to which at!business is looking forward!

Placing them in the hands of attor-
