He has been unable to dictate to the thinking editors of the sUte who have steudlly refused, io be whipped Into line to support Jackson's single tax and other Campaigns waged by tho Journal. He has chosen the . psychological time to carry out his nofurlous plan a time when probably ninety per cent or the papers of the state are struggling to keep tho wolf from the door, that they may "carry Or."

"To Hell With the Kaiser!" This exclamation has been said, 'either si ietrtry or aloud, by patriotic Ameri cans and lovers of decency every; where! Everyone agrees that the rnonr step-of-Europe is "not fit to live any where else! But In this multiple-reel Screen Classics, Inc. feature the expression is taken literally. The Berlin beast is actually shbwn ln the "hot place." How he gets there, and what becomes of htm after his arrival, form an in teresting part of this wonderful pic ture. - . ',- ' It is only a part, however. Mingled with events now historical are tender romance and vivid drama. ' A family of Americans living in Europe are among the leading characters, and arc instrumental in bringing about the tremendous denouement. Alice Mon roe demands dire penalty for the ate that overtakes her little sister at the hands of the dastardly Crown Prince. ' "To Hell With the Kaiser" is the greatest arraignment of Prussianism and the Hohenzollerns ever made. It is America's challenge to bonstiality and "frightfulness."
