are using interesting methods of ex-

reeds are graceful and becoming, but,
as a rule, the effect is extremely awk-

Continuing, Mr. Le Quex says the
Kaiser added that plans for the in-

prepared by the German General
Staff.

KAISER. IN A SPEECH TOLD OF
HIS PLANS.
Britain and France, Crushed and U.S.
and Russia Held at.
His Mercy.
That the Kaiser at a secret council
of high German military, naval and
other officials, held in Potsdam Pal-
ace in rune, 1908, boasted that he
was supreme in the United States
because of the presence in that coun-
try of a population of one-half of
which "is either of German birth or
German descent," and that the day
was coming when he (the Kaiser)
would crush Britain and France to
the dust and hold "Russia and the
United States at my mercy," are
statements quoted in a book entitled
"German Spies in England," by Wil-
liam Le Quex, the British writer.
Le Quex states that a true copy
of the speech made by the Kaiser at
the Potsdam Council is now in the
archives of the British Government,
where it has remained unpublished
until now. The copy of the speech,
he adds, was obtained originally from
"a high functionary in Germany,"
who was closely associated with the
Kaiser, and who held pro -British
views.
This is the story of the Kaiser's
speech at Potsdam as told by Mr. Le
Quex:
"Shortly after the Zeppelin airship
had been tested and proved success-
ful, a secret council was held," he
says "at Potsdam in June, 1908, at
which the Emperor presided, Prince
Henry of Prussia—a clever man
whom I knew personally—the repre-
sentatives of the leading Federal
States, and the chiefs of the army
and navy, including my informant,
being present.
"At this secret council the Kaiser
appeared dressed in naval uniform,
pale, determined, and somewhat ner-
vous."
God 'His Ally.
The Kaiser's speech, as it is re-
ported in Mr. Le Quex's book, , the:
follows.
"Gentlemen," the Emperor com-
menced, "in calling this council this
evening I have followed the Divine
command. Almighty God has always
been a great and true ally of the
House of Hohenzollern, and it is. to
Him that I: just as my - august an-
cestors did—look for inspiration and
guidance in the hour of need. ` After
long hours of fervent prayer light has
at last come to me.-,
"You, my trusted councillors and
my friends, before whom I have no
secrets, can testify that it has been,
ever since I ascended the throne, my
most ardent desire to maintain the
peace ofthe world and to cufltivate,
on a basis of mutual respect and es-
teem, friendship and good will with
all nations of the globe.
The Mailed Fist.
"I am aware that the course fol-
lowed by me does not always meet
with your approval, and that on
many an eccaeion you would have
been glad to see me use the mailed.
fist rather than the silken glove
chosen by me in my dealings ' with
certain foreign nations.

Dance Frock of Taffeta and Chiffon
favored this year, the fulness of the
skirt is made decidedly graceful and
youthful by tucks, ribbons, and bias
bands of the same, or a contrasting
material.. Often folds of chiffon or
net are attached to the inside of the
skirt of the dance dress giving a soft,
bouffant effect which is pleasing in
every way. Taffeta is unusually ef-
fective combined with, or as trimming
for, the pale -toned frock of ordandy
or net, fashioning the Summer dance
dress. Iii both illustrations this week
the skirt is of taffeta and the effect
of the deep tuck is well brought out.
The first dress has an . underbodice
of shadow lace and a simple over -
drapery of chiffon. The short sleeve
cap, while it concedes to Fashion's
sleeveless demand, also makes a con-
cession to modesty. The second frock
shows the combination of net and
taffeta. Aside from being especially
pretty, this combination is practical,
as net wears particularly well and
lends itself to almost any fashion of
draping.' - - -
Ribbons and Ruchings
Pleating and ruchings of all widths
and fashions :„are still favored trim-
mings for both street and house
frocks. Narrow black velvet ribbon
is most effective and easily applied.
On some of the imported models cowl-
ings, pipings, and ruchings appear in
much unexpected places. One cannot
fail to see that handwork, and individ-
ual 'hand -made trimmings, : stitchings,
etc.,' can work wonders, and afford an
effect which can scarcely be brought
about by machine -made trimmings.
It is quite interesting to see a little
blue frock trimmed with insertions of
matching net, with accompanying

German "System” is Called Ruinous

(From an interview with Senator Al-
bert B. Cummins in the PhiIadel-
phia Record.)
"Will the United States always be
at peace with the rest of the world?"
"Always means forever. I can't
fill your order as a prophet. All I
dare to say is that the United States
is in no danger now of invasion, nor
will it be in immediate danger after
the war in Europe is over.
"In my opinion, there will be no
wars in the near future.
"Moreover, great changes are bo
occur in Europe. The people will be
sick of war, and the men who are
expected to die when there is war
will take action to protect them-
selves, their homes, and their fami-
lies. William of Germany is the last
of his house to sit upon a throne.
"The Germany of the near future,
in all probability, will be a socialistic
democracy; if not that, then a mili-
tary democracy. It is the fashion
nowadays to talk extravagantly about
the wonderful organizing system of
Germany and its remarkable indus-
trial and military efficiency. -
"In my judgment its system is in-
efficient and ruinous, though I grant
that it worked advantageously for a
time. In the long run, however, it
will fail. The German system de-
stroys individuality." -
