KAISER MM) FROM
ILLNESS IS LATE CLAIM
NEW YORK, April 14.— ‘The Ger
ruisii emperor is considered to be a
madman, even in German. He is hope
lessly addicted to the usr of drugs,
because of chronic ailments in the
throat and ear which cause constant
pain. The emperor spends most of
his time in the royal palace at Pots
dam. lie believes that Germany lost
the war in the battle of Jutland and
his most intimate advisors believe that
the country must make peace by July.
So says Mr. Edgar M. Moore, who
has just arrived in New York from
Germany. Helmuth. the kaiser’s per
sonal chauffeur, is his authority.
“The kaiser is very irritable when
nis ear causes him pain and he and
his ear and throat physicians who
is one of his aides, are constantly
quarreling over the enormous quan
tities of cocaine and morphine which
the imperial patient insists upon every
day.
EVEN RECRUITING IS
OPPOSED BV PACIFISTS
WASHINGTON. D. C.. April 14.—
A national guardsman of the Third
District of Columbia infantry, back
el; by a party of citizens, covered the
front of the headquarters of the em
ergency peace federation here with a
coat of yellow paint today, while
another party of citizens destroyed
pacifist banners and literature inside.
The pacifists began a campaign ap
parently designed to prevent enlist
ments in the army and navy. Peti
tions were circulated by persons call
ing themselves representatives of a
no-enlistment league.
Disorders of yesterday, including
several fist fights and small riots in
headquarters of the emergency peace
federation on Pennsylvania avenue,
insulted today in the disappearance of
many of the arm bands and body ban
ners worn by the pacifists.
Some freely admitted that they had
dispensed with their insignia thru
fear of being attacked. The few
“keep out of war” arm bands that
appeared on the streets drew from
passing pedestrians and the drivers
of vehicles, jeers hoots and hisses.
