Member of the Kaiser's Personal Staff
and Nephew of Germany's Pronm‘
Minister of Foreign Affairs, |
“In two vears at the most one ',:{
my blood will again rule Germany,|
wod my people will rejoice.” i
Thaet prophecy whs made by the|
Kaiser in the Throne Room at Wii
helmlohe when he stated his integ I
tion of renouncing the crown. l
Alter that memorable council at
Spa, when his abdication was deter '
mined upon, the Kaiser, who was
trembling visibly and was pale m!
veath, ordered a powerful car to b
made ready for a journey immediate '
Iy His majesty walted impatiently
until the car was brought round, and
then, accompanied by Colonel Otto
Weinhart and myself, gave instruc-|
tiong to be driven to Berlin During |
the * journey the Kaiser appeared|
morose and nervous, !
Already the news of the Kal vr‘~~l
intentions had reached Berlin, where
the car was met on the outskirts by
police cars Driving straight to
Wilhelmsiohe, the Kaiser, a shrunken
old man, stepped out o the car and]
made hig way slowly into the "u]au‘r‘
His.first duty was to the Kmpress,
Dismigsing the members of his suite,
the Kaiser went to her apartments and
remained for some hours, much to the
consternation of the doctors who were
in attendance upon the Kaiserin,
Read From St. Luke.
On ' the following morning the
Kaiser was present at divine service
in the private chapel of the palace,
himself reading the lesson, which,
strangely enough, he selected from the
Gospel of St. Luke, chapter 16, In
which Jesus related the parable of the
rich man who accused his steward of
wasting his goods. There was a
strange hush upon the assembled con
gregation as the Kaiser read the
words, “What shall 1 do for my Lord
taketh away from me the steward
ship; 1 can not dig; to beg T am
ashamed.”
On- ' the following morning the
Kaiser summoned his sulte in the
ballroom of the palace, and standing
on the steps of the throne he bade us
farewell in a speech which forever
will live in’ my memory. Prince Max
stood near him, and in the room were
Prince Eitel Friedrich and Prince
chim.
iStanding erect, his left hand upon
e hilt of his sword, as was his wont,
he Kalser, speaking in a low tone,
¥t clearly and distinctly, said:
{ “Today is a bitter day for me, for

Spread of Bolshevism
Is Menace to Western
Nations, Says Ferrero
PARIS, May 17.-~What Is the chief
concern the western democracies have
today with regard to the new regime
in Russia? It is the anxiety lest
Bolshevism penetrate into (‘,antnl‘
Kurope, flooding the territories of the
varquished Teutonic empires \
The existence in Russin of a regime
s 0 vielently opposed to all that which
constitutes western civillzation is in
teelf a great misfortune for Europe,
but a vertibale catastrophe would re.
gult from the extenslon of that regime
into Central Europe, o
Europe would thereby be divided
into two groupa of peoples. Between
thesé two groups concillatioh wounld
e impossible, and there would be
mare fundamental differences between
them than there are now between the
peoples of Burope and those of Auu.‘j
The unity of Russia would be forever
disrupted, and war would be inevita
ble between these two worlds which
could not understand each other,
Muet Reinforce the Border,
The Ruasian problem ig not insohi<
ble It js not at all difficult to dh!-‘
cover what must be done to stem the
tide of Bolshevism and check ' its
westward flow; thé countries situated
between Russia and. the Germanie
werld must be reinforced. These are,
primarily, Poland, Bohemia and Rou
minia. ‘
These countries form the barrier
which may arrest the revolutionary
wave sweeping on from the Russian
steppes. Their reinforcament is not
the only means for preserving the
unity of Europe, but it is ore of the
sireplest and most easily and quickly
applied.
Yet, the peace conference has re
fused to date to adopt this course,
Why are not General Haller's Polish
legions sent back to Po\gnd. which
has been clamoring for their return
for six months after the signing of
the armistice?
Why do we leave Roumania with
out arms, without all that is neces
sary for the maintenance of an army?
ment may by some be regarded as
rash, but what are the facts? On the
one hand you have the Republicans,
and on the other the Socialists. Both
are opposed to each other, both sus
pect and hate each other.
“It will be impossible for Germany
to advance under either Republican
jem or Socialism, but Germany can
advance under a monarchy as she has
advanced during the last twenty
years. If the monarchy is established
on broad constitutional lines, Ger
many's advancement will be rapid
lmqra'reat., ' y ;
“roday Germany is a nation de
feated and humilated. England, our
enemy, triumphs, and the national
vanity of the English people has been
satisfied. What, then, is our future?
What is the future of Germany?” X‘
am speaking now n tne presence of
my friends, not as Kaiser, but as a
man amongst mea.
“1 can see Germany rising a great
and powerful nation from oiut of the
ashes of the defeat siye has suffered.
We are thrown back, our history has
to be made anew. There must be a
period of stagnation and chaos. The
length of that period will he deter
mined by the people themselves.
“The Dynasty Remains.”
“Would that I could lead my people
in the struggle, but I am convinced
that at this stage of our national his
tory my very presence in the Father
land is & source of danger. So I bid
you all farewell, my ¢up of bitter
ness, is full apd overflowing, yet [
hayve drained it to the dregs.
“Phis may be ‘the last time 1 shall
enter the capital of Germany. I shall
leave Wilhelmslohe forever, and
though the imperial throne is shaXen,
yet the dynasty rémains, and the
crown' of Prussia will once again be
worn by a Hohenzollern.”" s
The Kaiser concluded his dramatic
speech and for a moment sank lntol
t{:d seat which had served him as the
throne 'on: many state 'occasions.
Suddenly he , appeared to . start.
Glancing nervously round, he rose to
his feet, and Prince Max approdched.
Phe- “All Highest” was deathly pale
and gasped. for breath. Prince Eitel
am%l Pringe Joachim went to their
father, who Kissed the Princes almost
affectionately, Then, drawing him=-
welf "to his full height, the Kailser
howed to those in the room, and, ac-/
companied only by Prince Max, left
the room. ' ;
For a moment none dared to speak.
Events had been so dramatic that all
were moved and touched. Germany
without a Kaiser; defeated and at the
mercy of Republicans and Socialists;
it seemed impossible. (‘onfused and
amazed, the men and women who had
formed the court of Wilhelm of Ho
henzollern split up into little groups
and stood discussing the situation.
“I Jearned that after the Kaiser had
left the room so dramatically he made
his way to the apartments of the
Kaiserin, who at that time was lying
geriously ill, and remalined with her
for an hour, after which he spent the
remainder of the day in prayer and
devotion in the private chapel.
Toward evening 1 was ordered so
have the car ready for the return
journey to Spa. So, under cover of
darkness, Wilhelm of Hohenzollern
left Berlin. We rode in a closed car,
with no lights showing inside the
vehicle. The Kaiser rode away from
his capital unrecognized, unseen. He
lay. huddled back in a corner as woe
made for the frontier, his greatcoat
and cloak wrapped round him, sleep

ST. LOUIS, May 24 —How Sosthene
Gallais, who died of heart trouble re
cently at his home in Tulsa, Oklahoma,
began life in St. Louis at the age of 21
a 8 keeper of an oyster stall at Union
Market. invested $30,000 of his profits
in Oklahoma land on which oil was dis
covered and from this investment real
ized profits which built up his forlune
to a sum estimated by members of his
family at $3,000,000, was related to a
reporter the other day by his daugh
ter, Miss Blanche Gallais, 20 years
old, of this city.
The story of Gallais’ rise to riches
fs one of the most interesting of the
many oil romances in Oklahoma. His
original investment had lain dormant
for years and he was not aware oil had
pbeen discovered on his land until he
received his first royalties.
But other royalties followed in quick
guccess, and his wealth increased bv
leaps and bounds, until it enabled him
to become the largest individual prop
erty holder in Tulsa, and led him to
erect a 10-story office building there as
a monument to the city near which he
found his wealth.
Was Born in France.
(iallais was born In the Province of
Marne, France, 67 years ago. When i 7
years old he prevailed upon an aunt to
aid: him to come to the United States.
Arriving in New. York penniless, he ]
drifted to Missouri, where he obtained’
amployment sawing wood for- various
farmers, and savea a few dollars. ‘
. He came to St. Louis four years after
his; artival in the United States, and:
purchagsed a small oyster, stall at Union
Market. He prospered, and eventually
he ‘was enabled to open a wholesale
branch at Twenty-first and Walnut
streets. » ¢
. Just prior to the Galveston, Texas,
flood, Gallais, whose wealth then was
astimated at about $150,000, had been |
induced to. invest in Texas oil land.
He, knew, nothing of vil at the time,
his daughter said, but hé had faith in‘
the property' dand spent §12,000 trying
to -bring in a well which would de
vv!or into a gusher. He failed, but
retained his Texas holdings, which up
to the time of his death he declared
would prove a prufltnble'_}pvestnmnt. 1
1t 'was followirig: his Texas vent\irrr
that he bgcame interested in the Okla
homa ¢!l fields, where he invested
$30,000 in founding ‘the Briton-John
gon Oi] Company, . and which later
proved & bonanza for him.
Thought It Mistake.
it is told of Gallais that when he
received a check for several thnusandl
dollars, representing . his filrst royalty,
he wrote to his partners to nm'rmin‘
if a mistake had not besn made. Their
reply was that there was no mismkv.i
and that oil had been struck on their
land, was Galfllais' first intimation that
his oil investment was to prove a
source for millions of dollars
About 1912, his daughter said, Gal
lais became president and sole owner
of the company.
Up until this time he had maimtained
his home in St. Louis, but deciding that
his c¢il interests should have a'l pis at
tention, sold his business here and re
moved to Tulsa,
There he built a $20,000 home, bought
two apartment houses and erected the
ten=story Gallais Building, which he
faced with Milwaukee brick and which,
he sald, was erected as a tribute to the
community in which he found riches.
Later, he sold this building for $500,~
000
Shortly after the death of his daugh
ter, Esther, about three yvears ago, Gal
lais' health began to fail and he began
withdrawing from his various business
anterprises. !
in the various Ulherty I.oan cam
paigns, hig daughter said, Gallais in- |
vested $1,000,000 in bonds. To his wife,
formerly Miss Mary Louise Bruno, :mtll
to his daughter, Blanche, he gave $50,000 |
each in Liberty bonds on their birthday. i

| It is simply ridiculous to adopt the
rattitude that the limit of knowledge

beginning to find out a few of the!
sgimpler secrets which Nature has nui
jealously guarded throughout the
ages,
We are only just beginning to know
lanything about our own planet, and
'lh'- investigations of a million ,\o-ur-'{
Ilu come will not exhaust the subject.
It is vast enougn to occupy the human
mind forever; and the more that is
discovered, the more there will be to
find out.

|an.~< are necessary The foundation
of still stranger discoveries are being
made and truly laid; whoever lht-(
builders may be Indeed, we live in
an age of wonders. |
The developments which have been
made in wireless telegraphy during
"he last few vears destroy one’'s be
lhvr in the boundary "of possibilities.
ISven to me, they seem romantic and
strange—or they would seem so, did
i 1 not know the scientific principles in-|
volved—and 1 can quite understand
that the uninitiated must regard the
developments which are taking place
in wireless communication as some
thing bordering upon the supernat
ural, I think ] may say that peopie
will cease to wonder at it. The only
wonder will be that there was ever &
time when it was unknown.
No Central Office.
There is no reason why, when in
stallation becomes general, a private
message should not be sent exclusive
ly to one individual—even in the heart
of a huge city like London. All tnhat
is required is the adoption of a sim
ple and distinctive method of attuning
each instrument—in wireless work,
this tuning will take the place of the
number and the exchange in the ex
isting telephone system.
I'or military purposes, a field ap
paratus which is very mobile has been
successfully tried and it has been
used during the war. Spies have alse
used wireless instruments which are
very small, but I have not heard of
any private individuals who have
done this. Those people who want a
sort of waistcoat pocket transmitter
and receiver combined must wait, but
I may add that a portable apparatus
for covering short distances is a pos
sible development of the near future.
But whatever developments may
take place, the radiated message—
which is sent out broadcast in all di
rections—will still have its uses. This
is and will always be the case in the
avent of a disaster at sea. The ship
which is nearest to the scene of the
catastrophe can hasten to the help of
those in peril; and so lives will be
saved which would otherwise be lost.
Many a time has this happened al
ready—as in the case of the Titanic
disaster—and aircraft will employ the
radiated messages in like emergencies
on land and sea. -
1t has sometimes been urged that
the radiation of messages in all direc
tions, so that all and sundry can re
geive them, is a disadvantage. This
fault has been eliminated already, for
it is now possible to transmit a mes
sage directly and exclusively to the
receiving agent or statien for which
it is intended: It is from this system
of selection and direction of mes
gnges which is only in Its infancy
that thé next wireless developments
will spring.
Great Developments Coming.
The miext great development will be
in wireless telephone. Already this is
an accomplished fact—far beyond the
experimental sjage-‘ and during the
next few vears there wili be some
wonderful improvements maae.
It will be quite possible before
many years have been passed to speak
by wireless from one end of the earth
to the other; and even interplanetary
communication is a possibility. |
" Will it be possible, when these lm-‘
provements have been made, to see
the person with whom a conversation
is being held, although thousands of
miles may lie between the speakers?|
There is no reassn to the contrary, If
a voicc can be transmittec, if signals
can be regulated, it should be quito‘
possible to send an impression of a
face and figure. I regard the inven
tion of an instrument which will en
able cven those who are thcusands of
miles apart to see each other as
scientifically feasible.
As regards a method of entering
into communication with the inhabi
tants of other planets, there are many
problems to be considered. Probably
the least difficul® to solve ic the in
| vention of an instrument by which
the signals should be transmitted. Al
