Two of a Kind The Kaiser and Crown Prince Blame Others
A critical editorial accuses the former Kaiser Wilhelm II and his son the Crown Prince of cowardice and evading responsibility for Germany's war. It contrasts their early rhetoric with postwar admissions and mocks their attempts to deflect blame onto others. The piece also taunts Prince Eitel and hints at a scandalous claim to urge public accountability.

The Measure of Glory
The lifting of the censor ban sparked a flood of light on American minds about soldiers in battle. Initial reports praised our troops for upholding strong traditions, while later reflections hint at deeper complexities and tempered expectations.
Untold Front Line Valor and the Final Victory
Across six months of fierce fighting the censor and dispatches shaped a grand war narrative. Yet the true feat lies in the persistence that pushed the Huns away from Paris and allowed Germany’s surrender, with Pershing’s St Mihiel move proving a decisive turning point. The cooperation with French and British forces, and Clemenceau’s resolve, framed a victory forged at home and abroad.

Dry breweries seek new work for latent manufacturing power
As prohibition shuts beer production after December 1, many U S breweries face idle machinery. Some convert to factories for permitted goods or close without plans. Dehydration of vegetables and other commodities emerges as a potential new industry to salvage value and reduce transport costs, with examples from Britain and U S experiences cited.
Desiccated Brewery Byproduct Could Save Perishables
War fueled plans to ship desiccated products to England and preserve them in perfect condition. US breweries burn coal—about 3,100,000 tons yearly at full capacity—to dry vegetables, suggesting 6,200,000 tons of green foodstuffs could be processed annually. If breweries enter this drying trade, waste could drop and farmers may raise output despite market and transport risks.
