Kleet Greatest Achievement. All newspapers printed huge, supple ments today reviewing the 25 years" reign of the Emperor. The consensus of opinion was that the greatest achievement of the Kaiser was the creation of the fleet which had put Germany in the front rank of maritime powers. The Vorwaerts. the Socialist organ, while declaring that the "class con scious" proletariat regards the Kaiser "as the personal embodiment of reac tionary tendencies against which we are waging an embittered struggle." admits that "Emperor Wllhelm sin cerely desires peace and thinks the turning of the armament screw Is nec essary for the protection of the na tional Interests."

KTERXAIj peace not BREAM Ambassador Hints Invaders Would Have Warm Reception. NEW YORK, June 15. (Special.) The crowning episode of an all-day cel ebration here today of the 25th anni versary of the reign of William II, Emperor of Germany, was a speech de livered in the Hotel Astor tonight by Count von BernstorfT, German Ambas sador, at a kommers attended by near ly 2000 German - Americans. Deep lunged "hochs" crashed out when the Ambassador said proudly: "Although the Emperor has kept the roace for 25 years, it Is not possible for us Germans to dream a dream of eternal peace. For 100 years no enemy has set foot on German soil." Gliding into less explosive topics. Count von BernstorfT did not add that no enemy would win German territory for the next 100 years, but there was riot a shadow of a doubt that his en thusiastic listeners supplemented the speech In their own minds. They cheered, and when the band played "Hell Dir im Siegeskranr," the German national anthem, 2000 glasses were lifted in a toastto the Kaiser's health. Besides the German Ambassador, Mayor Gaynor was there to deliver a tactful and graceful speech In praise of the Emperor and nation. Represen tative Germans talked enthusiastically of the Kaiser's achievements. The kommers closed a day of cele bration by German societies and club. On behalf of the Kaiser, Count von BernstorfT presented 44.000 to the Ger man hospital. The Count was a guest early tonight of the German Club, which sent a congratulatory cable message to the Kaiser. Throughout the city German pastors spoke In many churches of the Kaiser's splendid rule. . - YACHT SEAFARER VICTOR 4'hlspa. Itaccr of 2 5 Years Ago, Puts t'p Great Run in Stiff Wind.

STATE IS TAKING LEAD Organized Effort Begun to Reduce High Cost of Living at Same Time Profits of Agricul ture Are Increased. LINCOLN, Neb.. June 15. (Special.) To do their part In reducing the high cost of living, 200 Nebraska farmers have pledged themselves to devote their time, talents and energies to increasing the production of beef cattle in this state, and to follow the Instructions of the university experiment station, which for several years has made a special study of raising cattle for beef by the best methods. "The fact that the population of the country is increasing, while beef cat tle are decreasing has aroused the Na tion to a realization that the high cost of living can never be lowered until this state of affairs is mended, and that the farmers are responsible for the work is Just as apparent as that present conditions exist," said Dean Burnett, addressing the farmers' con vention at a beef-feeders' meeting held at the State University Farm. Dean Burnett produced figures to show that Nebraska can raise beef at a profit equaled by no other state in the Union, with the possible exception of Kansas. "The small farmer is especially adapted to the raising of beef." he said The market has changed in late years, so that now the demand Is for higher beef. These days the farmer may get almost as high prices for cattle 12 and 15 months old as In former years for four-year-olds. This is in favor of the farmer, as the cattle can be sold soon er and raised much more cheaply." That the farmer can raise stock cattle on the residue he now wastes Is the statement of Dean Burnett. He urges farmers to make beef raising a permanent Industry. THREE RULERS FOR PEACE (Continued From First Pace.) negotiations and the claims put in by each Interested rur-tv misgiving Is felt here!

Albanians Men of Ability. There really seems to be a completely erroneous impression abroad as to the Albanians and their potential future. Those who know them best prophecy much that is good and great for them. Though neglected for centuries, like the other Balkan races, there must be RAISED -m mr - 1,1 II 1 . lUUAUbM. occasion for a great celebration fine ability in them; otherwise one could not account for the fact that out of this Albanian race of altogether 3.000,000 souls has come an abnormally "sn percentage or the best soldiers, best administrators, best merchants of Turkey. And the Albanian from home Is apt to be a man of means and dis tinction. But like most mountaineers, the Sklpetar (for so the Albanian calls him self) loves independence and liberty. He will not become the unwilling slave of either Servian or Greek, no more than he was ever willing to succumb to dispute Turkish rule. - It was of interest to me, a few days ago, to have a conversation with a leader of new Albania a typical sklp etar. Issa Boljetinl by name, who said, among other things: "Should the powers really partition us off among the Slavs of the Balkans, or even a considerable portion of us, there never will be peace on the Balkans. It Is known that not a year passed under Turkish rule without our being en gaged In a rising. And this was when our oppressors shared the fa!th of most of us. Does anyone believe that the Albanians of Kassovo, for Instance, are going to allow themselves to be op pressed by such intolerant foes to their faith as are the Montenegrins and Ser vians worse barbarians by far than the Turks ever were? No! I declare solemnly that we can never be subjected to their rule. We shall go on fighting until we have thrown off their yoke as well." Present Strife Belittled. Existing conditions between the dif ferent Balkan states are peculiar enough. When skirmishes between Bulgarian and Greek, between Bulgarian and Servian troops are of daily oc currence, and even battles lasting for two entire days are fought, whole com panies and detachments made prisoner, hundreds of killed and wounded re ported at single engamements, and when even the warships of allied Greece are fired upon by Bulgarian and coast bat teries, there apparently Is something the matter between the allied Balkan powers, as, of course, there is. Yet I am assured here by high Austrian gov. ernment authority, as well as at the Russian Embassy in this city, that those "little differences" will in all likelihood be amicably settled in the end. Despite threatening appearances, I am told that Russia for one has set Its face sternly against such an inglorious ending of the gloriously Inaugurated Balkan war as a general set-to be tween the participants over the spoils would undoubtedly be. And Russia's Influence in the premises alone may prevent serious trouble. But not Russia alone. Austria-Hungary, too. is strongly counseling the wisdom of compromise. Not alone here, where the Servian Minister, Jovanovois, was most anxious to obtain a pledge that the Danubian monarchy would keep Its hands off In a possible Servian Bulgarian war. also in Belgrade. Srffia and Athens. What may, however, finally incline the scale toward peace for all these hotspurs is the fact for a fact It is reported to me that neither Bulgaria nor Servia is to get any more money for war. either from Paris or London.

What American cities are doing to reduce or prevent child mortality is the subject of a bulletin issued today by the chll dren'a bureau of the Department of Labor. It is declared that organized effort has resulted In reducing the death rate below that of rural districts and villages. Illustrating this, the re port says: "Babies die of diseases which to a large extent are preventable, and thus when welfare work Is directed toward saving their lives the response is im mediate and decided. In certain large cities such as New York and Philadel phla the result of systematic Summer baby-saving campaigns has been shown in a reduction of between 30 and 40 per cent in the death of children under two years of age, in the wards where work was concentrated. -Public Health Is FnrckuaMc." "Practically the only limit of the good results to be obtained by enthusiastic campaign lies in the financial side of the question. The investigations of the Children's Bureau indicate that the principal impediment to effective work in the health departments of most cit ies is the lack" of adequate funds for carrying on preventive measures In telligently, and experience verifies the truth of the motto of the New York Health Department, 'Public health is purchasable; within natural limitations a community can determine its own death rate." " The bureau estimates that a - baby nursed by its mother has approximate ly ten times the chances to live that a bottle-fed baby has. All welfare work ers, therefore, are advised to encourage mothers to make every effort to carry out this most Important maternal duty. A clean milk supply Isva fundamen tal need, says the bureau. The ideal Is: nothing short of clean milk for everybody. But the need for the prompt remedy of bad milk conditions, is mors urgent in its relation to the welfare of babies than to that of adults, since dirty milk is largely responsible for the occurrence of diarrhea and enteritis, the most frequent causes of death among infants. Tne remedy Is de clared to lie in the intelligent and effective Inspection of farms, the means of transportation and the shops where milk is sold, and in ordinances govern ing the sale of "dipped" or "loose" milk. Baby Clinics Do Good Work. Milk stations and baby clinics art. urged on municipalities. It becomes apparent, says the bureau, that many mothers need advice as to the care of their babies, especially those who are ill. Sometimes the clinic Is estab lished by the wholly volunteer services of doctors who examine every baby presented at the milk station, weigh it prescribe its diet and tell the mother when to bring It back. Many cities have found that visiting instructive nurses should take precedence over all forms of welfare work. Some cities have realized the value of the pre natal care and instruction of expect ant mothers. Training schools for child caretakers of little children, and education as to the infection-carrying danger of flies are also emphasized by the bureau. Attention to housing conditions, to the thorough watering or the streets and to the question of fresh air and ventilation is urged, and the distribu tion of circulars, pamphlets and other printed matter containing advice con cerning the care of the baby is con sidered helpful. Sometimes the circu lars are printed in several languages and J" the "-PPend1: of the bulletin will be found specimen "Save the Baby" circulars in nearly every necessary lan guage, ready for reproduction.
