He was Immune.?A man in one of
the infantry regiments in No Man's
Land was taking up as little room in a
Bhell hole as possible during * a hot
flght, with everything singing overhead.
At last a German shell landed
right in the hole with him, but did
not go off. As soon as he recovered
from his fright and could think agtlin.
he took a iook at xne sneu anu ivuuu
it was a dud (a shell with a defective
fuse which does not explode). Next
he noticed the number of the shell
and something about it struck him as
being peculiar. It was 1,217,413.
He reached inside his shirt and pulled
out his identification tag. The number
which stared him in the face was
1,217,413. He walked out of the shell
hole and back to his lines with the bullets
singing all about him but was not
hit. He reported to his commanding
officer with a salute and a smile.
"Captain," he said, "ask me to do
anything now-. They had one with my
number on it, and it was a dud."

do you know why you are like a donkey?"
the jester queried.
"Like a donkey?" echoed Robson,
opening his eyes wide. "I don't."
"Because your better half is stubbornness
itself."
The jest pleased Robson Immensely,
for he at once saw the opportunity for
a glorious dig at his wife. So when
he got home he said: "Dear, do you
know why I am like a donkey?" He
waited a moment, expecting his wife
to give It up. But she didn't. She
looked at him somewhat pityingly as
she answered: "I suppose it's because
you were born so."

the smallest "middy" in the navy
and one evening he was invited to attend
a party in the saloon. He was
such a little chap that the ladies had
no Idea that he was a midshipman at
all, but took him for somebody's "dear
little boy" in a royal navy all-wool
serge. At last one of them, on whose
lap he had been sitting: and wno naa
just kissed him asked:
"And how old are you, llvtle dear?"
"Twenty-two," he said in a voice
like a fog horn. Then the lady swooned.
Leading Up to It.?He called his
typist to his office.
"Miss Keytap. you dress neatly and
you have a well-modulated voice. I
might add that your deportment is also
above reproach."
"Thank you very much. sir. But I
don't think you should pay me such
compliments," answered the blushing
girl.
"That's all right." said he. "I was
just leading up to the point of telling
you that you don't seem to know a
comma from a colon, and your spelling
is simply rotten."

citizen whose daughter is about to be

approached a friend of his, seeking: information.

daughter was married about five years
ago, wasn't she? Would you mind telling
me how much the wedding cost
you?"
"Not at all, Sam," was the answer.
"Altogether, about five thousand dollars

Some Wind. A telephone "trouble

called out the same evening to establish
communication between a near-by

the estate, the "trouble shooter" soon

to the proprietor: "Just a fuse
blew out."
"That so?" said the proprietor.
"Well, by George, the wind does blow

HOW IMPERIALISM COLLAPSED
Incidents Described by Nan Who
Knew and Understood.
REVOLUTION SUCCEEDED ARMY DEFEAT
The Newspapers of Germany Knew
\&hat Americans Were Doing; But j
the Government Was Not Willing to
Tell the People the Truth Until Con- j
cealment was No Longer Possible.
"Nobody liked him," said Hans Lo/-.no
of tho pHltnra of the Rerlin
Lokal Anzeiger, speaking recently of
Wllhelm Hohenzollern, erstwhile Kaiser
of German, in an interview granted
Lowell Thomas, representing the New
York Evening World. Mr. Lorenz was
once a newspaper man in New York
city, and his discussion of the German
revolution and the causes that led up
to it has the novelty "of showing some
appreciation of the American point of
v*ew. He says the Germans thought
the Kaiser lacked backbone, and even
his close friends said discreetly that he
was a coward. Then when it was announced
late in the summer by Ludendorff
that the army was about through
and an early peace would be necessary,
the feeling against the Kaiser became 1
intensified and on all sides rose demands
for his immediate abdication,
as it was felt he stood in the way of |
peace. Hohenzollern, however, hung
on, as might ha,ve been expected of a
party laboring under the delusion that
he was holding his job as a result of !
direct action on the part of the Supreme
Being. According to Lorenz, it
was this reluctance on the part of the
Kaiser to give up his throne that
plunged Germany Into the revolution
.and reign of terror which has since
prevailed there. Says Mr. Lorenz:
I don't think the Kaiser really favor- .
ed war. The war was represented to
the people as one of defense, and every
one believed we had been compelled (
to fight for our national existence. We
are not a political nation. You can tell
us anything. (
The moment it became apparent that
we had lost the war, the revolutionary (
current became strong. Everything ,
had gone smoothly in the big fighting (
from March to July. In the middle of .
July came the first defeat, when we I
were thrown back. We had got dis- j
patches telling us that 2.000,000 Amer- '
ican soldiers were in France, but we
were not allowed to publish them. A
month later we couldn't keep the
truth back any longer. Then the government
announced that it was the
Americans who were responsible for
our reverses.
It was about July 15 when it became
generally known that something had
gone wrong. Countless rumors were
being discussed by the agitated population.
To counteract this, the govern- ,
ment undertook a propaganda campaign
to persuade the people that our '
retirements on the western front were
of no importance. Admitting the presence
of a big American force, it de- 1
clared we could not possibly be driven
out of France in less than two years.
The death-blow was the collapse of 1
Bulgaria. From that moment it was 1
impossible to deceive the people any
longer. Ludendorff came to Berlin
with the statement that the game was i
up. This soon leaked out and then i
came the moral break-down of the 1
nation. Although Ludendorff's per- .
alyzing announcement had become
common gossip, and certainly every '
newspaper reporter knew of it, the <
press never mentioned it until they 1
announced, a week later, that an arm- 1
istice had to be asked for. 1
From then on it was understood that '
the Kaiser must go. Representatives <
to this effect were made to the government
but the emperor took the
stand that he was in duty bound to
stay. He declared the army would
break down instantly if he abdicated.
This was another stupendous blunder.
I verily believe that if Wilhelm
had stepped down about Oct. 3 there
would have been no revolution. With
him and the crown prince out of the
way, it would have been possible to
establish a liberal, democratic government,
under the rulership of a prince
regent. The few days thus lost were
fatal to any such plan.
On October 7 the socialists declared
they would leave the government unless
the Kaiser abdicated within twenty-four
hours. The moderates extended
the time another twenty-four
hours, but when additional delay was
asked, the radicals refused to comply.
They notified Ebert and Scheldemann
that the revolution would begin on the
9th.
Hut Wilhelm just couldn't make up

so long. His severe mental struggles
in this connection have been described
time and again in story and song. It
was the bitterest moment of his life.
In the meantime the revolution was
browing, and finally it came, among
other unpleasant things delivering a
violent kick in the direction of the recalcitrant
Bill, which larded that gentleman
In Holland. The account of
what happened is thus set forth:
The revolution actually started before
the elapse of the second twentyfour
hours given the Kaiser in which
to abdicate. On the morning of the
ninth, Elbert and Scheidemann went
to the Reichstag to take over the government
before the radicals could get
ahead of them. At eleven o'clock they
had agreed upon a program and an
hour later had received Prince Max
the nomination of Elbert as chancellor.
In response to an emergency call, a
mass-meeting of Majority Socialists,
Liberals, and Centrists assembled to
complete the work begun by Ebert and
nviirmriuaiill. Ut'llllllt* agreements
were reached that afternoon, ^
however, as the Majority Socialists ,
were a little afraid of the radical |
wing. They had given assurances that ,
the Independents would he included
in the new government, hut the Independents
had refused to participate
with the Liberals and Centrists.
At 3 p. m. Schiedemann made a
speech in front of the Reichstag, announcing
the new German Republic.
A little later Haase, from the same
spot, made a speech announcing the
new Socialist republic. At four o'clock
another mob surged into the main hall,
hearing machine guns and shrieking
demands for a socialized government.
This party was led by Karl Liebknecht,
who had been released from
prison a few days before at Schelde- 1
mann's order.
The Liberals and Centrists left the
hall in the confusion. At 6 p. m. the
Majority Socialists made certain concessions,
declaring for the early socialization
of many, industries and ac- i
knowledging the Independents' right
to participate in the government. But
the independents were not satisfied
even with this. They insisted that they
had made the revolution and d< manded
majority representation in
the government. The meeting broke
rn with an agreement for an assemble
the following morning at the Cirrus
Busch.
In that meeting the fight between the
two Socialist groups broke out anew
and anarchy was at hand when the
soldiers took matters in hand. They
delivered an ultimatum to both factions
declaring, in effect, that they
were not interested either in politics or
politicians; that tney were ureu ui j
fooling, and that unless the opposing
sides got together immediately the
soldiers would take control and establish
a military dictatorship.
This threat was effective for the moment.
The Socialist parties tentatively
agreed upon a government by a
council of?six, equally divided between
the factions. Over them was to be an
executive council of soldiers and workmen,
to be the supreme authority. It
was to have fourteen soldiers and
fourteen workmen, half of each being
Majority Socialists and the other half
Independents. "Richard Mueller was
selected for its first president.
That the whole thing was a crazy
and impossible scheme became apparent
only too soon. The two groups
could not by any possibility work together.
The machinery of the government
was paralyzed. Desperate remedies
were necessary. At last, Ebert
and Scheidemann forced the issue,
backed as they were by the rest of
CJermany, which was far more interested
in the quick establishment of a
stable government than it was in the
wrangles of political camorrists.

Further Particulars About the Killing

the board of commissioners of Allendale
county, and John Dunbar, candidate
for sheriff in the recent election
In this county, who were placed under
arrest last Friday, and charged with
murder, following the testimony of
Carrie Stanley at the inquest of H. D.
Marley, who was killed at his home
at Matthews's Bluff, this county, on
Thursday, May 29, Just a few minutes
after he had shot to death James W.
Hogg, also a large planter of near
here, have both been granted bail, and
It is expected that their trial will be at
the first term of court held vin this
county, commencing June 16Shortly
after the shooting Thursday
afternoon the only details obtainable
were to the effect that Marley had shot
Hogg and that Hogg shot Marley to
death as the latter was running awav.
Nothing of a legal nature, different
from the first version was heard until
the inquest over Marley's body, held
Friday afternoon, when the Stanley
woman, now under arrest, but out on
ball, under a charge of adultery, who, it
fs said was living with Marley at the
time he was killed, testified that certain
members of a fish dinner party
gathered at the river a short distance
from the Marley house, had dragged
Marley from his home and shot him to
death. Her testimony was not substantiated.
Dunbar Plea Self Defense.
It is admitted in affidavits filed by
members of the party who were at the
river, and submitted to Judge Rice
tvhen Kirkland and Dunbar applied to
Judge Rice at Aiken, for bail, that
Dunbar fored upon Marley twice with
Jar fired upon Marley twice with
i shot gun, although it is known
that other shots were fired. It is intimated
by counsel for Dunbar that
Dunbar's plea will be self defense,
rhe only other matter, of legal nature
>btainable, bearing upon the Marley
tilling: are the affidavits filed by Henry
D. Best, Hugh Reeves, Herman Lee

ishing party. The gist of the affidavits
reads:
"After finishing a dinner at Cohen's i
31uff, about one-eighth of a mile from
;he Marley home, J. W. Hogg and
3uck Lewis, a fisherman from Georgia,
vent to the Marley house. The reason
or their going is not known, as Lewis,
ilthough under indictment, is still at ;
arge." i
Dropping certain paragraphs of the
iffidavits relating to the shooting of
logg by Marley and resuming at the
iescription of the movements of Lewis,
vho accompanied Hogg to the Marley
louse, after Marley had shot Hogg,
;he affidavits read:
"Lewis ran through the woods and
nformed other members of the party
>f the fact that Hogg had been shot. 1
Several members of the party, includng
Dunbar and Kirkland immediately
itarted for the scene, Dunbar carrying
i shot gun he had taken from LewisJpon
arriving at the scene we found
Eiogg on his hands and knees, apparently,
from where we stood, attempting
to rise. Marley was approaching
Hogg With a shot gun eviiently
with the intention of shooting
lim again.
Marley Refused to Give Up.
"Dunbar called to Marley to surrender,
but Marley refused to do so.
Dunbar again admonished him to
throw down his gun, but Marley refused
to do so and handled the gun in a
nanner indicating that he was going to
jhoot. Dunbar then shot him twice.
Pistols also were fired. Marley fell
xnd we then found that Hogg was
dead, apparently having been killed
immediately. Members of the party
then placed Marley in his house and
took Hogg to the home of his brother,
Dr. T. F. Hogg, near Kline.
The two versions of the killing are
offered to the public. There is no
truth in th? statement published under
an Aiken date line that seven men

the killing. Kirkland and Dunbar are
the only men arrested. Lewis is at
large, but will be arrested when located.
Hogg is not from Georgia, as
was written from Aiken. His home
has always been in what is now Allendale
county, where he has large
family connections.

The Home Service section of the local

now doing some exceedingly valuable
work In Gastonia and the county.
During the month of May alone 54
cases were handled through the secretary's
office, including the investigation
of soldiers' allotments ai d insurance
and the giving of assistance
to a number of soldiers. The local
chapter is fortunate in having the services
of Mr. V. E. Long, who has
charge of the work of investigating
practically every case that has required
attention. A great number of these
cases, which directly affects either a
soldier now in the service, a returned
soldier, or their relatives, have been

properly look into these cases quite
a bit of time has been required. Mr.
Long has given his time to this work
unstintedly. One instance in which
the Home service section of the loca1
chapter has been ol' assistance to a
soldier was that in which a young man
from South Carolina who was recently
discharged from the army was unable
to ascertain the whereabouts of his sister.
His case was reported to the local

CHOCK FULL OF ORDERS.
New England Cloth Mills Have All
They Can Do.
Primary markets for cotton cloth
and yarn began last week to show a
sickening in the amount of dealing
due to the excess and activity that has
characterized them for -the last three
or four weeks according to a New
Uedford special to the Christian
Science Monitor. Mills are rapidly
"omlng to the point where they cannot
possibly take any more orders, no
-.alter how fancy the prices that they
are offered. Already many of them
are aold out nearly to Thanksgiving
'or all of their product that can posHy
he turned out under the most
favorable conditions. They do not
fee 1 justified in contracting for deliveries
further ahead than this because
f the uncertainty as to what situations
might arise In the Interval.
Buyers apparently have not yet had
their ardor cooled to any great degree
despite the difficulty in finding mills
that will consider further business.
Prices are daily mounting higher and
already in some styles of goods the
government maximums of last fall
ave been left far in the rear. A rap(.ly
rising market in raw cotton has
served to help along the increase in
the price of the manufactured articles,
as have the wage increases that
have been granted the textile operatives,
beginning yesterday, but the
advance in prices has already more
than offset these factors, and buyers
have not yet reached their limit.
To Ditcourage Speculation.
What will happen when the gray
goods that are being sold now come
to be finished and prepared for retail
markets is a matter for some misgiving
on the part of many of the mill
men. Retail prices are expected to
tm tn lovptq that have never been
Ptv
reached since the days of the Civil
war, and it remains to be seen whether
the consumers will be able to absorb,
the normal quantity of goods at such
prices. Some curtailment in the
amount of consumption is expected,
but the producing capacity of the mills
has been materially reduced also by
the shortening of the regular working
schedules, and the more optimistic of
the manufacturers maintain that this
wi'l more than offset the shrinkage in
the volume of consumption.
Special precautions are being taken
to discourage the buying of excessive i
quantities of cloth and yarn for specu- I
lative purposes. Mill men are looking
askance at buyers who attempt t?
place orders in larger volume than
usual and will not take them unless a
satisfactory assurance is given that ,
they are to be used In legitimate busi- <
ncss channels and not resold in the ?
gray. In this way It is hoped to re- I
duce the amount of goods that come
on the market for sale in the gray at
second hand, and it is from such second-hand
sales that manufacturers believe
the greatest menance of a reaction
comes.
Fine, combed yarn goods were almost '
at a standstill so far as actual dealing
goes, though the demand for all styles
was as strong ana insistent as ever, j,
New Bedford mill9 have been shut
down for two weeks owing to a strike
of the mill engineers and firemen, and
they have therefore refused to quote on
any goods whatever. Fine goods |
mills in other places have become sold :
ahead as far as they care to go and :
have virtually retired from the market 3
until they got more nearly caught up 3
with the business already on their ?
books. Prices have risen at least two ?
cents a yard on almost all styles of 3
goods, but have not been sufficient to 3
tempt the mills to abandon their posi- 3
tion. ;
Activity in Print Cloth. ;
Print cloth markets have had an- 3
other week of activity with price ad- ;
vances of as much as a cent a yard on
staple constructions. Demand for both
wide and narrow goods has been ap
parently insatiable and nearly all the
mills have now taken orders to carry
them well into October, which is as far ;
ahead as they will go at present. Sa- :
teens and twills have been especially :
in demand, but hardly any were avail- 2
able because of the large amount of :
this type of goods that was contracted 2
for previously. The capacity of the :
mills eauiDDed to make them has been 3
cached and further advance in prices,
though it has not reached five cents a
yard in excess of last fall's maximum,
holds no interest for the manufacturers.
Yarn markets are exceedingly stiff
,.nd buyers have found great difficulty
in getting quotations and more still
in getting the deliveries they want.
Weaving yarns are especially hard to
buy, particularly plied warp yarns.
Many of the cloth mills which manu- ~
facture their own yarn are finding it
impossible for their spinning departments
to keep up with their looms and
have been forced to go into the market
and buy yarn. Some of them have
looms stopped despite the high cloth
price3, because they cannot get the
