It Btopa In Open Country and the
Amazed Body-Guard See War Lord
Flea In Automoblla— Enberger and
Schaldemann Treat William as a
Grown-Up Child—Mad Scramble to
Leave Spa When End Come*.
Some clay the tragl-comedy of the
ex-kalser's flight will assuredly be
known In all its details and will prove
one of the most humanly Interesting,
If not one of the most edifying, epi
sodes In history, writes Julian Grande
In New York Times. In all proba
bility, however, many of those who
would End this narrative most absorb-
Ing will no longer be here to read It
when It appears. Any eyewitness' ac
count, therefore, of William's last
hours as knlscr cannot but arouse at
tention, especially If It benr every
mark of veracity.
This particular eyewitness was a Oep
man acting color sergeant, who, with
his company, was on guard outside the
Belgian castle at Htm where William
Hohensollern had his quarters when
the ultimatum, concerning his abdica
tion was delivered by Erzberger, Schel
demann. and the rest.
One day this eyewitness noticed the
kaiser walking with some one else In
the grounds of his residence, and over
heart 1 his msjesty's companion saying
to him:
"Seems 18-18 all over again, Just the
aame political conjuncture! But that's
not suylng It'll end so tragically."
To which the kaiser replied fre
quently, "Ja, Ja."
This conversation took place oo the
morning' after the famous six motor
cars with Erzberger. Hcheldemann and
company had returned from the French
front at 11 p. in., bearing the armis
tice conditions, which apparently were
not taken so very tragically, for these
gentry were heard laughing and crack
ing jokes about them with the kaiser.
Treat Kaiser aa Child.
The Interview of the kaiser with
Scheldemsnn. Erxberger and company
will perhaps one day be made known,
bnt one thing Is certain. Even at that
honr William Hohensollern seemed to
fail to realise the situation, and Era
berger and Bcbeldemann did not unde
ceive him. In other words, they treat
ed him as a grown up child.
On>the day after the armistice tonus
were made known to the kaiser, a
Thursday, the atmosphere In Spa must
hare been exceedingly electric, for
oar eyewitness tell* us that his regi
ment waa fully armed and always on
picket duty, and that It waa only be
cause they were well provided with
hand grenades that any sort of ordei
was preserved.
Friday night waa the laat night thai
the kaiser alept. or rather spent, at th«
white caatle or country house In whlct
be bad Inatalled himself In Spa. It
the town the excitement was at fevei
heat The battalion to which oar eye
witness belonged waa parading tbi
streets, folly armed, with fixed bay
onets and hand grenade bags fulL
The next morning, Saturday, hli
company waa ordered to be at the rail
way station, where they were tok
that a train was ready to take then
to Berlin. At the etatlon they foam
that the ex-kaiser waa already In om
of the carriagea, attended by a smal
suite. The train left as usual, bul
After two hoars' ran It auddenly stop
ped, right In the open country, and
the ex-kalser and his suite got out
and entered some motorcars whict
were awaiting them. And away thJj

own words: "The troops accompuiy
log blm hong their amazed coun
tenances out of the carriage wlndovs,
and spent the time on the return Jour
ney discussing what hud happened.
Every Man for Himself.
They went back to Spa, and It v'as
then a case of every mun for himself
and the devil take the hindmost. Offi
cers hastened to get hold of the first
available motorcar and secure ns much
benzine or petrol as possible, filling
the cars with anything on which they
could lay hands. Whether It belonged
to them or not was quite a secondary
consideration. And then off they went,
too. The grand general staff began
packing up, and that very roornlnfc
Hlndenburg thought It prudent to Is
sue an order to form soldiers' councils.
Apparently the company to whirl
this eyewitness belonged must ;itii
have been considered the most fu|!l>
ful of all, for he himself left with th«
same train that had Hlndenburg on
board and what was left of the g
eral staff. Hlndenburg apparent is
kept his head, or rather tried to keep
It, to the very end. if he had not Is
sued orders for the formation of sol
diers' councils, however, he would
probably not have kept his head very
long—ln the literal sense of the phrase.
One thing Is certain, Judging from
the statements of this eyewitness: It
was Foch's, Halg's and l'ershlng's hu
manity and aversion to needless blood
shed which- saved the whole German
army from complete capitulation. If
the allied generals hod chosen to sac
rifice another 40,000 or 50,000 British,
French, American and Belgian lives,
they would have made prisoners the
entire German urmy and brought about
a military catastrophe such as tha
world has never beheld. . _i

A real, sure-anough Indian prlneeaa,
Is going to France to help entertala
the American soldiers and sailors until

She is Princess Galilohi, great
granddaughter of the famous King

GOOSE DIGESTS GOLD
Remains of a $5 Coin Found In
Gizzard.
A few days ngo the family of O. C.
Taylor, of Bellefonte, Pa., decided to
feast upon n goose that they hud pur
chased from n farmer. The goose was
killed and in preparing it for the oven
Mrs. Taylor felt some very bard sub-
Htani-u In the fowl's gizzard. Now tills
aroused her curiosity, and when she
cleaned the gizzard she made a close
examination and found a piece of yel
low metal uhout the size of a nickel.
Curious to know what It was she
took it to the Bellefonte Trust Com
pany where It was decided that 1
wns what remained of a s"> gold plec-
It was worn entirely smooth on both
sides and nil the milling was gone
from the edge. Inasmuch as the goose
was only about sixteen months old
and It could not have swallowed the
money before It waa nlmost full grown,
It Is evident that the constant grind
In n goose's gi/.zard will reduce al
most anything In due time.
As n matter of dollars and cents, the
coin will be sent to the Philadelphia
mint for appraisal to find out Just how
much of Its valuation remains, and then
It will he up to mathematicians to cal
culate Just how much gold that goose
used In Its digestive functions dally.
MAKING NEW FACE
Hospital Surgeons Working Upon a
Small Boy.
Winnipeg hospital physicians are
making n new face for nine-year-old
Edgnr Forbes of Hathwell, Man. The
boy's face was reduced to pulp when
he was run over by a sleigh. Every
I tone was broken.
The experiment will be a success,
according to the physicians. The bones
were reset and will mold, they say.
Four dentists, after days of experi
menting In the hospital laboratory,
completed an artificial palate for his
mouth.
When tho boy was brovght to the
hospital his face was unrecognizable.
Every bone waa sunk In. Both eyes
wen? sunken. The bridge bones of his
nose were smashed In many pieces,
otid after an X-ray examination were
found lodged In his throat.
The boy will be able to see again,
although at present he I* blind In one
eye and scarcely able to distinguish
objects with the other. Tho eyeballs
were not Injured.

American Housewives Profit
From the Lessons in Thrift
As Taught by French Chefs
The French chef, the acknowledged
world leader of the art of the cuisine,
la the product of a country that sur
passes all others in the practice of
thrift.
But the necessity of keeping her
food budget within strict limits In
spite of war prices has led many an
American housewife to discoVfer for
herself some of the secrets of the
French chef In making inexpensive
and formerly neglected food Into del!
cacles fit for a king.
Especially has this been so In the
preparation of meat for our American
tables. The following are some of the
secrets of the Freuch chef that the
American housewife has discovered
for herself.
Flank steak, which costs much less
than top sirloin or round steak, makes
an excellent roast. It can also be pot
roasted or used as chop steak.
Chuck or round steak costs much
less than porterhouse or sirloin. These
cuts should be cooked by "moist" heat
or mode tender by mechanical means,
ns In "hamburger."
Beef neck Is Juicy and well flavored.
It makes a good pot roast and the
very best stews and soups.
The cross rib makes an excellent pot
roast nnd there Is no waste.
Shin of beef makes a good "beef u
la mode." Cut it tip as for stew;
brown pieces In hot fat; then add wa
ter; cook In a pot the same as pot
roast, aud serve with gravy.
Shin of beef makes a most nourish
ing soup and the meat can be taken
from the pot afterward and served
with horseradish sauce.
If you buy a rib roast of beef,
have your butcher cut the rib enil off
so that you can use It for making
soup. If It Is left'on and rousted with
the rest of tho meat It Is largely
wasted.
For corned beef, the flank piece, the
navel pi we and the brisket piece cost
tho least. These cuts are palatable and
the left-over portions can be made into
■ delicious hash.

"Y" ENTERTAINERS
NEEBEOJN FRANCE
f While certain branches of the work
the National War Work, Council at
he Y.*M. C. A. has been doing (or some
Jme are being curtailed, one type ol
service la bcinj called upon (or man
00-operatlon than ever before. Al
though (or some time there have beea
approximately 400 to 800 entertainer!
In France, many difficulties have sur
rounded this type o( service and the
thousands of showi which have been
given In France have only been put
over In spite o( almost superhuman
difficulties. Now, however, with the
period of demobilization (orclng upon
the Army new problems haa a real
spirit of co-operation been shown by
the Army authorities. Therefore, Gen
erai Pershing haa detailed Colonel
Kelly, from his own Staff, to act aa
entertalnr. ent officer for the A. B. F,
which position places him aa the liai
son officer between the Army and the
"Y" Entertainment Bureau In Paris.
Theatres and large buildings are be
ing taken over, mechanics supplied by
the Army are putting them Into opera
tion and the "Y" Is producing showa,
given by soldier talent alone, and alao
dramatic and vaudeville performances
and miscellaneous musical programs,
the personnel of all of which must be
recruited from this country. x
Owing to the large number o( men
In the Army entertainment abil
ity, no effort is being made to send
men from this side. Women, however,
are wanted for these positions In large
numbers. 126 must be sent out from
this country every month, which will
rejulre the co-operation o( every re
cruiting agency throughout the coun
try. All entertainers are supplied with
uniforms, Life, Accident and Health
Insurance, transportation, and allow
$150.00 per month (or living expenses
In France*
The women should be pre(erably be
tween the ages o( 23 and 30, neat and
attractive 'and possessed o( a pro
nounced ability In their particular line.
The field for entertainment now
reaches from the coast towns in
France right up and Into Germany, (or
while the "Y" cannot do much with
the Army of Occupation In the way of
Canteen, It can supply entertainment
and is doing so on an increasingly
large scale. Information may be ob
tained from W. C. King, Peters Build

HISTORIC RESORTS
Haunts of Napoleon Are Home

forts of Y. M. C. A. Forces to
Better "Leave" Facilities.
Paris.—Whore Napoleon 111 and
Kins Edward VII of England spent
many leisure hours the American en
listed men are now at play. The fam
ous yacht c!ub at Cannes, founded and
patronized by King 'Edward, and St.
Sauveur, where the third Napoleon was
wont to go with his court, indicate the
variety of attractions ofTered by the Y.
M. C _A. In the leave area system oper
ated in cooperation with the military
authorities. From the Alga to the Pyr
ennes and from the Brittany coast to
the Riviera, there are seven "Y" leave
areas In which 50,000 soldiers can be
entertained at one time. Preparations
are now under way to Increase these
much-appreciated facilities to double
their present capacity.
Representatives of the army and of
the Y. M. C. A. are now traveling from
one end of Prance to the other seek
ing new spots in which to set up leave
areas. The experiment at Aix-les-Balns
has been successful from the start,
as America now knows pretty well
from first-hand information carried
home by Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt, Jr.,
who organised the woman's canteen
work at Alx.
"Aches and Pains" was an Ideal spot
for the experiment, but six others have
been found and put in operation, each
equally satisfactory as the original
model. Consequently It is with opti
mism that the army and the "Y" seek
to increase the centres where sure
cures have been found for homesick
doughboys.
Location, climate, hotel aecommoda-
I tlons, opportunities for entertainment
and slght-Beeing and the moral and
physical cleanliness of the area are
all Important In the selection of a
leave resort. As soon as a site Is
selected the largest available Is ob
tained by the Y. M. C. A. as Its main
center of operations, men and women
are assigned to service and negoti
ations are begun to secure reduced
t prices from such entertainment en
terprises as cannot be duplicated by
the Y. M. C. A. and every effort la
made to give as much service as pos
sible. The army provldea transpor
tation and pays tho hotel bllla, thereby
enabling tho soldier to enjoy all the
attractions formerly restricted to
kings and emnerors and malefactors
of great Wealth.

65 Per Cent of Fires of
Country Are Declared Due
to Preventable Causes
The losses by Are In the United
States and Cnnnda during the year
1917, as complied from the records
of the Journal of Commerce and Com
mercial Bulletin, aggregate $267,273,-
800, the heaviest of any year in the
history of the country except 1006,
when the great San Francisco con
flagration swelled the total to $450,-
710,009. The 1917 record Is nearly
$36,000,000 In excess of the previous
year's figures and over $84,000,000
larger than the Are losses, of 1915.
The world war was a contributing
factor in 1917's unusual record. In
some Instances Where the heaviest
war munition losses occurred there
was little or no Insurance against fire
carried, and the underwriters, there
fore, made a lucky escape. The nota
ble munition plant losses Included the
Canadian Car and Foundry's plant at
Klngsland, N. J., Involving a logs of
$12,000,000; the DuPont Powder plant
at Haskell, N. J., causing $1,500,000
loss; the munition plant of the Union
