Story of Daring Scheme to
Take Former Emperor c
* Told Here. t
i
Returning officers and men of the
30th division have been telling, at the ^
various ports of debarkation at which
tiiey have boon arriving, the story
which has been spread wide in the ^
army overseas, but only hints of
which have hitherto reached this
country, of the attempt made by a ^
group of American officers to kid- ^
nap the former German emperor at ^
i- f i_ if i* i > i.. i i.;... i. _ /
nis reiuge in riouiuiu aim ia.Ke iimi '.u ^
Paris. According- t*> general reports g
the attempt was organized and led , |
b> Col. Luke Lea, commander of the NX
114th field artillery, who returned s,
with his regiment through Newport .
News, and is now at Camp Oglethorpe
for mustering out. The story
was told here last week by men p
in the first contingent of the Old
Hickory division to land at Charleston,
but it was not published at the ^
time because it was represented by
friends of Col. Lea that publication ^
might prove seriously embarrassing
to him and might even result in
court martial. Since then the story ^
has been published in one form or
another an -several newspapers, and
finally, the New York Times of Tiies
day carried it in considerable detail. ,
The Times' story reads as follows:
Col. Luke Lea, former United Stat- ,
es senator from Tennessee, command
or of the 114th field artillery of the j
30th division?the "Old Hickory" di- ,
vision of Carolinians and Tennesseeans?who
returned from France only
a week ago in command of his men,
is the American colonel who led the
- party of American army officers who
tried to kidnap the former German
Kaiser last winter.
The fact that Col. Lea headed the
kidnapping party was fully confirmed
tonight by the correspondent of
the New York Times from the lips of
a Tennessee man who talked with
Col. Lea upon his arrival at Newport
News, Va., in command of the 114th
field artillery last Sunday after that
ur.it had arrived from St. Nazaire,
Fiance, on the transport Finland.
"While current versions of the story
printed last January in French, Brit
ish and American newspapers asserted
that the attempt to kidnap the
Kaiser was made on Jan. 5, Col. Lea
indicated to those to whom he spoke
last Sunday that it really took place
just before Christmas.
"What were you going to do with
the Kaiser if your kidnapping project
succeeded?" Col. Lea was asked
bj, those to whom he admitted that
be. headed the party that went to the
castie cX Count von Bentinek, near
Amerongctn
"We were going to give him a free
ride to Paris in our automobile and
present him to President Wilson as a
Christmas gift."
This statement by Col. Lea would
indicate that the attempt was made
just before Christmas, and it was in
tunated tonjght that it took place
about December 21. From what was
learned from the gentlemen who talk
ed with Col. Lea at Newport News
there were fully a dozen officers and
men of the American army in the
automobile party commanded by Col.
Lea that tried to obtain possession of
the Kaiser.
They were armed with passports,
which they had managed in some way
to obtain and which enabled them to
tiavel through Holland to the Castle,
where the Kaiser was stopping. They
got close enough to the presence of
the Kaiser, Col. Lea told close friends
3ince his arrival in this country, to
hear his voice, but were foiled
through tHo sudden dispatch of Dutch
guards frora Amevongen to the
Castle, a contingency wholly unexpected
and which forced the American
officers to make a quick retirement
in their military automobile to
avoid arrest and possible internment
by the Holland authorities, if not
courtma.5linl proceedings in the Are.
ciican army, provided their identic
fthoul 1 bocom known.

S. Glenn Young-, who has made for

army, arrived in Columbia last week j
with five deserters who he ran to J
cover in Davidson County, N. C.
ing all the details of the kidnapping'
attempt as soon as he is discharged
from the United States army.
7 he possibility that he might
oven yet have to face a court-martial
for having crossed into Holland on
such an expedition, and that those
who were with him might be similarly
dealt with, has been one of Col.
Lea's motives for extreme reticence
in the matter. While in France he
and those who were with him remain
ed exceedingly quiet about the mat
tei because they were in constant
fear that they would be court martialed.
When the 114th field artillery arrived
at Newport News there were
a number of Tennessee newspaper
men there to greet the regiment. Tn
some manner word had reached Tennessee
that Col. Lea commanded the
Kaiser-kidnapping party, and those
of the Tennessee newspaper men who
were sent to Newport News who had
a "tip" on the story were very anx
ious to obtain full details from Col.
Lea. He told them the story wa>
jtiue, and that, while he intended tc
tell the whole story later, he did not
care to confirm the facts so long a.?
he was an officer in the uniform ot
the American army.

MOTRKPREVENTED
BY RIGHT METHOD
Mottled butter is frequently found
on the market at this time of the
year, and, even though it may be of
very good flavor, it is strongly discriminated
against by the purchaser
As this defect is one of workmanship,
it can be overcome by tl o
application of proper methods on the
nart of the buttermaker.
( Mottles are caused primarily by an j
irreven distribution of salt in the bu tei.
This may be produced by insu ''
ficient working of the butter or by
churning, washing, and working ?t
- at a very low temperature, or by
! washing or working it at a temperature
several degrees higher or lower
' than the churning temperature.
AVhen the quantity of butter made
in one churning is much less than
usual, it is necessary to work it at a
greater number of revolutions of the
churn than usual in order to produce
the same results on the butter.
Extremely low temperatures of
churning, washing, and working
should be avoided, because they produce
so firm a butter that it is only
with great difficulty that the salt
i i _ i ixt*;f
Ml) IJ'! WUUt'll iliunM Jiut> into iv.
High temperatures of churning,
.va?hing, and working must also be
v.oidcd to prevent an abnormal loss
of fat in the buttcimilk and also the
making of a greasy, leaky butler.
Great variations in temperature
during the manufacturing process
hould always be avoided. Undei
normal conditions the temperature oi
the wash water should bo the sanu
us, or within 2 degrees of, that of the
buttermilk. i
