MAY RETURN TO

4 Former Monarch Fears Disturbance
In Holland and May Seek
Safety In Germany.
LONDON.—Despatches received t
in this city today from Copenhagenj
indicate that the former German j
kaiser intends to return to Germany i
on account of the danger of a serious j
disturbance in Holland. He feels j
that the Hollanders do not like the
idea of playing host to him, and be- j
lieves that a longer stay may have
^ disasterous results for him.
The Berlin Lokal Anseiger says
that it is quite likely that the Sol
diers and Workmen’s Council, whose
permission has been requested and
who are now considering the matter,
may permit him to return to Ger
many and go into seclusion in one of
the remotely situated castles owned
by him.
As sc^ii as pprmis
sion has been obtained, the former
German kaiser will leave Hollanu
for Germany.

| DECEMBER 16TH
Supreme Court of the United States
Refuses to Review the Famous
Preparedness Day Case.
| WASHINGTON, D. C. — After
many delays, during the course of
which many keenly contested legal
battles were fought, the supreme
court of the United States has fin
ally refused to review the Mooney
case, and the condemned man will
have to pay the extreme penalty
! of the law on December 13th.
Mooney is now confined in a cell
J in death row, in the San Quentin
Cal. prison, awaiting execution. His
attorneys stated that the supreme
court had, by its action, knocked
the last prop from Mooney, who will
give up his life on the 13th of
next month unless pardoned. Urgent
appeals have been forwarded to the
governor of California, who has the
power to pardon Mooney. This is
the only chance he has for his life.
Mooney was accused of placing
a suitcase containing a bomb on the
street in San Francisco during the
big Preparedness Day parade, the
exploding of which caused the death
of many partaking in the parade.
He was tried and convicted of the
crime at San Francisco and sen
tenced to death. On technical
grounds and alleging purjured testi
mony, Mooney’s lawyers asked for
a stay of sentence and a new trial,
and in the meantime the labor unions
throughout the country took up
; Mooney’s cause and, for a time, a
I big strike was threatened.
Governor Stephens of California
| refused to grant a pardon, even
j though President Wilson had inter
: fered in Mooney’s behalf.
After many delays and legal bick
I erings, the case was sent up for re
: view by the supreme court of the
j United States, and the judges form
j ing this court have refused to re
| view it.
Game Warden Foster, who is now
stationed at the quarantine camp
five miles from town, between the

By the German People.
WITH THE AMERICANS.—Yes
terday the American troops advanced
into German territory on their way
to occupy the Rhine citie3, in terms
of the armistice.
The advance was made without a
hitch and in deep silence over an
area covered by several villages
which were found to be almost de
serted by the German people.
The German people, at first ap
peared to be very timid and were
awed by the spectacle of foreign
soldiers marching through their
streets, and consequently fought shy
of our lads, but when they found
that the Americans were friendly,
| they immediately changed their tac
; tics and gave our boys a rousing
; welcome.
