On his seventieth birthday yester- day the former kaiser stood resplend- ent in a field marshal'’s uniform of the first royal guards. Upon his breast were the highest decorations within the gift of imperial Germany and many other nations. Male par- ticipants in the celebration, garbed in the gala uniforms of their military ranks and wearing spiked helmets, saluted him as “His Majesty, the Kaiser and King.” Princess Hermine, whom the kaiser married in exile, was not present to share her husband's triumps or to be dressed as “empress.” The official explanation was that she was ill with what at first seemed to be chicken pox but probably was only grippe. There was a rumor current, however, that she was only diplomatically ill since the greater part of the Hohen- zollern clan refuse to recognize her. as “her imperial majesty,” col i her merely the title of the kaiser’s spouse. Police Patrol Estate Dutch constabulary and police pa- trolled the barbed wire fence while the celebration was being held. Male guests arriving canied their helmets and mostly they wore ordinary over- coats instead of military ones, don. ning their full war outfits in the en-| trance building. Saint Paul, Martin Luther and Wil- helm II were linked together by Dr. Heinriv Vogel, court chaplain, in preaching the birthday sermon on a text chosen by the former kaiser. Dr. Vogel said: “Let us learn from the secret im- Perator of the Roman empire (Saint Paul) ‘from the hero of Worms and Wittenburg and from the silent man of Doorn, to the unashamed of alle- giance to Christ's Gospel.” The kaiser, the chaplain said, had always been a pious man, but, as Cai- Phas brought Christ to grief, so his enemies had succeeded in felling the rr. Hindenburg Writes After the service guests were shown the hundreds of gifts the former kaiser had received. President Von Hindenburg in his capacity as a private citizen and former field marshal under the kaiser sent a letter written in his own hand. A huge birthday cake, upon which burned not 70 candles but merely one big “life light,” stood in the center of the table. . Friedrich August the Third, former king of Saxony, proposed the kaiser’s | health while the household band of five pieces sounded a salute. Wil- helm responded briefly referring to the effect produced upon him by the sight of the old uniforms. It was understood that the Dutch government asked that the kept strictly private, being lest the celebration lead to demonstrations to which might object.

Almost any household necessity could be bought at his stall more cheaply than in the shops. The stall soon prospered and became the cen: ter of a busy mart. Rumble’s success was largely due to his wit and personality. He was famed as the best “tale-teller” in the trade, even when he retired two years ago. Others followed in his trail; the country imitated London; and thus the “tale-telling” method of selling in Petticoat Lane and elsewhere has be- come famous. WALSH STATES NAVY BACKERS FEAR WARS Outlines Reasons for Opposing Cruiser Bill; Asks for Scal- ing Down Policy Washington, Jan. 28.—()—Senator Walsh of Montana, in a speech before the senate today outlining his reasons for opposing the bruiser bill, said that those who favor building the 16 ships have in mind the possibility, first of a war with Great Britain, and second of a war with Japan. He declared that no one has indi- cated that the United States navy as it now stands was not adequate to meet results arising out of controver- Isies with any other countries save the two mentioned. He was opposed to the bill, he de- clared, because he believed it would interfere with any attempt of the United States to obtain further agree- ;ments for the curbing of naval arma- ment. The cruiser bill, the senator de- will continue her “traditional prac- tice” of intercepting and searching | neutral vessels in time of war and this contemplation, he added, will lead to difficulties, “I am wedded to the idea of parity as between the United States and Great Britain,” Walsh asserted, “but I should like to see that parity at- tained by scaling down, rather than by building up.” Senator Walsh declared, however, that in his opinion there is no incon- gruity in approving the Kellogg treaty and in passing the cruiser bill. | Sawmill Hum Is Dirge to Little Dollarville Dollarville, Mich., Jan. 28. () The hum of the sawmill, once a paean of Prosperity in Dollarville, now is a funeral dirge. E The village, with fewer than 30 families left, once was one of the best lumbering centers in the Upper Pen- insula. The woodman’s ax and saw, wielded for half a century, have left barren what was a fine timber belt of virgin pine. Dollarville took its name from Capt. Robert Dollar, founder of the navi- the station burned and the post office and public school were closed. The children of the few remaining fam- ilies now attend school at Newberry.

They even decided that Dr. F. B. Strauss—who sprung the proposal in the sugge-tion that something new in which every member would per- form a part, be devised—should con- stitute the entire committee of ar- ts. rangements. The principal feature of the enter- tainment of the day was singing by the mixed quartet, Mrs. F. J. Baven- dick, Mrs. Gus Wingreene, Henry Hal- verson and George Humphreys.

He had a tire puncture on arrival and the New Salem Lions curreptitiously repaired it, which he thought was a good Scotch joke. The club had two visitors. One was Walter Mohn, diamond hero, who ‘was Howard Henry, of Westhope, Bot- tineau county. Walter Maddock introduced Mr. Henry as one of the outstanding farmers of the state. He farms 2,000 acres, without the use of a horse or other draught animal. All the work is done by machinery. He uses two combines. Henry is a state college product and is following in the footsteps of his father and Tom Campbell, the Mon- tana wheat and flax king. He has been farming on this large-scale basis three years, is married and has two children. The former governor paid him the compliment of terming him the coming type of North Dakota farmer. Henry is here on a blue sky project, being interested in an oil undertaking by the Westhope Oil company, in the Kevin-Sunburst field in northern Montana. The company proposes to put down a well next spring and also has designs for seeking oil in this | state. The club's attention was called to specific mention of it by the retiring president of the Association of Com- merce at that organization's annual meeting, for splendid cooperation. President Strauss reminded the club that it must live up to these things. Incidentally he reminded W. 8. Ayers that he, too, had been mentioned spe- cifically for his entertaining activities. ———— l Additional Markets | —— RANGE OF CARLOT SALES Minneapolis, Jan. 28.—(#)—Range of carlot grain sales: Wheat, No. 1 dark northern 1.21 5-8: to No. 2 dark northern 1.26 1-! . dark northern 1.22; No. 2 mixed 1.20 ; No. 1 hard winter 1.31 3-8; No. 1 durum 1.12 5-8; No. 2 mixed durum 1,03 1-2 to 1.18 5-8.
