T7R0M the age of twelve a girl needs all the cafe the thought-
1 ful mother can give. Many a woman has suffered years
of pain and misery the victim of thoughtlessness or ignorance
of the mother who should have guided her during this time.
If she complains of headaches, pains in the back and lower
limbs, or if you notice a slowness of thought, nervousness or
irritability on the part of your daughter make life easier for her.
LydiaELPinkham's Vegetable Compound is especially adapted
for such conditions. It can be taken in safety by any woman,

On November 9. 1918. Field Mar
thai von liiitdcnhurg and General
von Groencr. the successor of Field
Marshal I.udendorlT, recited long re
ports to the kaiser, in the presence of
other distinguished officer. Von
Groencr declared the army was no
longer behind the kaiser. The lat
ter replied sharply:
"I demand this statement from you
and the field marshal in black nd
white but not until you have asked
the chief commanders and the com
manding generals."
"Firmly Indicated Intention."
In spite of the most urgent advice
of Hindenburg and all other mem
ber of the kaiser' entourage for the
war lord to leave Spa. then German

night and communicated iln inten
tion t fount Dohna, the f anion
commander of the raider Moewe,
who wa then an adjutant. Oilier
adjutant who heard the order,
the author slates, were lliitcbfcld
and lUcnau.
"Are Vou Back Again?"
Shortly afterward the general
from G, H. O. returned to the kaiser
with an order aium urging him to
leave, The kaiser greeted them
with:
"Good Lord, gentlemen, are you
back a;.' -tin? I've written the crown
prince I'm Maying with the army."
Then Von Hindenburg and Ad
miral von Iliutjic, then foreign
minister at Ilcrlin, begged the kaiser
to consider hi departure to a neutral
country in an extreme emergency,
since bis continued presence with
the army might become impossible.
They told the emperor the situation
was becoming worse each hour and
that it would be indefensible "if the
kaiser were dragged to Hcrlin by
mutinous troops and delivered as a
prisoner to the revolutionary govern
mcnt." Ilintzc telephoned the kaiser
from Berlin.
The kaiser became highly excited,
the author stales. He immediately
granted Von Hintze permission to
take steps for a possible reception in
Holland, but "clung desperately to
the idea of remaining at Spa."
At 7:.10 p. m when the kaiser was
ri-1 iig o dmi.er aboard tha train, b
tcia Aujuuur iitucnieia ana ii

"Shoulder to Shoulder."

tear of death. Betides, 1 would b
('cserting my wue and children (if I
fled). 1 cannot do that. I remain."
Ae h was sitting down lo dinner
aboard the tram be told General von
Gontard:
"I am going to ftay with my army
to the very last and throw my lite
into the balance. They are trying
la make me leave my army. That
an unheard of utea. It would look as
it 1 were alraid. My wile bravely
slop in Potsdam amidst the rioting
there, I shall remain here.
Prime Kuel Inedtiih, one of the
Vaisrr's ton, had jut telephoned hi
lather, giving "love and greeting
Irani the kaiscriu," the author re
mark. Then appeared the man whom the
author seem to blame for the
kaUer's final decision, Counsellor of
the. Legation ltaron ' vou Grurnau.
At 10 p. m. Gruenau called at the
train's dining room and told the
kaiser he had been instructed by
Foreign Minister von Hint by
telephone and also by Von Hinden
burg to urge the kaiser not ta post
pone his departure for Holland, tinre
only by a quick surprise action would
such a trip be successful. Gruenau
told the kaiser that all roads were
blocked by mutinous troops tearing
the epaulettes from their officer and
that not even an auto could pass
them and that further hesitation by
the kaiser would be fatal.
Gen. von l'lcssen, who hitherto
had opposed the kaiser's departure,
listened to Baron Gruenau and think
ing that the latter acted on Von
Hindenburg' instructions, now ad
vised the kaiser to leave early the
next morning.
"The kaiser had been worn and
wearied down and. saw no other way
out," the author states. The book
shows that while Von Hindenburg
advised the kaiser to prepare to
leave in an extreme emergency, he
had nothing to do with the kaiser's
actual departure. This part of the
volume link up recent correspond
