FRENCH MINISTER BARES
KAISER'S CONQUEST PLAN.
i
m.
French Foreign Minister Stephen
Pichon has made public documents
which prove the German govern
ment's determination to force war on
France, and also that Berlin demand
ed the fortresses of Toul and Verdun
as a guarantee of French neutrality
in the war with Russia.
"We have known only recently the
authenticity of these documents,"
said the foreign minister. On July
31, 114, von Schon, German ambas
sador to France, was charged in a
telegram from Chancellor Bethmann
Hollweg, to notify us of a state of
danger of war with Russia, and to ask
us to remain neutral. What was un
known to us was that the telegram
from the German chancellor con
tained these instructions:
, "If the French government declares
it will remain neutral your excellency
will be good enough to declare that
we must, as a guarantee of its neu
trality, require the handing over of
the fortresses of Toul and Verdun:
that we will occupy them, and will
restore them after the end of the war
with Russia."
GERMAN SWORD
TO BRING PEACE
Kaiser Declares "Complete
Victory" Duetto Interven
tion of God in Affairs of
Teuton People.
i
Amsterdam, March 8. In reply to
congratulations from Philip Heineken,
director of the North German Lloyd
steamslTip line, Emperor William has
sent the following telegram:
"The German sword is our best pro
tection. With God's help it will also
bring us peace in the west, and, in
deed, the peace which, after much dis
tress and many troubles, the German
oeoole need for a hanoy future."
The emperor detailed his gratitude
at greater length in a message to the
vice president of the Keichstag, say
"& .. i ,
"The complete victory fills me with
gratitude. It permits us to live again
one of those great moments in which
we can reverently admire God's hand
in history. What turns events have
taken is by the disposition of God.
Praises Great Generals.
"The heroic deeds of our troops,
the successes of our great generals
and the wonderful achievements of
those at home have their roots in
moral forces and in the categorical
imperative which has been inculcated
in our people in a hard school. They
will also carry us through in a de
cisive and final battle to victory.
"In the great tasks upon which the
conclusion of peace, reconstruction
and the heaiing of the wounds of war
will set us, i desire my people to rely
on the historical experience that unity
means strength. May our people face
the new time and its tasks with I
strong sense of the realities, with un
bending faith in itself and its mission
and with strong, patriotic and proud
joy in the faiherland bound to me and
my house by old and proved bonds of
mutual trust.
"I do not doubt that a rich, strong
and happy people will arise out of the
storms and tacnhces of this, time.

SAMMIES ROUT
GERMAN PATROL;
TAKEJAPTIVES
Americans, Outnumbered Two -
to One, Turn Teutons in
Night Clash in No
Man's Land.
With the American Army in France,
Wednesday, March 6. An American
patrol of five men three nights ago
outfought an enemy patrol of 10 men.
They met in No Man? land and the
Americans opened fire. The Germans
replied and for three minutes there
was a sharp skirmish. The enemy re
treated, leaving two dead and two
wounded Bavarians, who were made
prisoner. The American patrol re
turned to its own line without having
received a scratch. ,
Stopped in Tracks. - 1
Officers report that despite the fact
that the Germans fired many shells
to prepare the way for a raid not a
single enemy soldier got into position
to carry it out, the American auto
matic rifles, machine guns and rifles
stopping the Germans in their tracks.
A naif dozen bombs were dropped
behind the American front in the
sector northwest of Toul last night
by German airplanes, which were
looking for ammunition dumos. They
Mid not succeed in hitting any of their
objectives, however, and none of the
bombs dropped caused any casual
ties. ,1
Groups of German bombarding air
itanea on the way to cities and towns
ar behind the lines are passing over
the American front almost continu
ally. They are greeted by a hot anti
aircraft gun fire from the American
batteries.
ENEMY PREPARES
BOX OF TRICKS
FORKS. FORCES.
With the American Army in
France, March 8. The enemy appar
ently has something he is planning
against our troops in the sector north
west of Toul. His camouflage con
structions at certain places have sud
denly been doubled in height and
much work is going on within the
enemY line.
Last night an American on patrol
who understands German heard this
conversation within a German trench:
"Come here, Iritr, take this pick
and pry hat stone loose and then
throw that dirt out. Those
over there. We work all night to fix
things here and they blow them to
hell in the daytime."
The men in the American ' patrol
who made a sudden dash for the
American lines from a shell hole near
the German trenches where they had
been hiding, have explained why they
started out m broad daylight on their
backward sprint They had lost their
way in the dark in No. Man's land and
got into the shell hole atter wander
ing ; for several hours. Finally the
men got hungry and all of them de
cided they would rather take a chance
with , German bullets than go any
longer without food and water. -
The sun came out today, drying out
the 'ground and the trenches and tht
men a udiui viuiuwg.
