Von Bissing Letter Says Germany
Must Retain All of Belgium
Copenhagen (Via London), June 1.
The late Governor General Bissing
of Belgium maintained until the day
of his death his belief in the neces
sity of the complete annexation of
Belgium tc Germany. German advo
cates of moderate peace have been as
serting that Von Bissing changed the
views he expressed in the memoran
dum he addressed to the emperor ad
vocating annexation. (
This is disproved by-a letter writ
ten by Von Bissing on January 14 to
the Keichstag deputy, vr, stresemann
In this letter General von Bissing de-,
clared that the war was lost if Bel
gium, at the end, was not chained to
Germany, to be ruled and exploited
in Germany's interest.
He chides those "superficial think
ers who wish to content themselves
with guarantees of a paper nature, or
who consider the Meuse line an ade
quate frontier, a line which can never
constitute the frontier which we
need."
Von Bissing goes on to say that the
frontier needed to protect Belgium
against England and France must be
advanced as far as conceivable north
ward, and that, the coast is and must
be part of that frontier. '1 he gov-
THIRTEENTH ZONE

i ; ,- . , .
Site of Training Camp Prob
ably Will Be Used for Can
tonment of Drafted
Soldiers.
Minneapolis, Minn., June 1. (Spe
cial Telegrain.)T-Fort Snelling looms
today as the most probable site for
the cantonments of the drafted sol
diers from the thirteenth draft zone.
Representatives of the Civic and
Commerce associations of Minne
apolis and St. Paul met today in the
army building in St. Paul with the
army board designated by the War
department fo report "on available
sites.
While not giving any official or di
rect opinion, the trend of the ques
tioning indicated a strong sentiment
favoring Fort Snelling.
The only question arising was the
immediate availability of some of the
ground adjoining the reservation, and
the civic and commerce representa
tives assured the board this detail
would be satisfactorily cleared by to
morrow. ,
Routine Continues.
Work in the officers' training camp
this morning followed its routine
despite the excitement surrounding ar
rival of the first companies of the
Sixth infantry which was detraining
and preparing its camp near that of
the First Minnesota infantry.
After the customary morning
routine the cadets started on their
first two-hour hike, carrying heavy
equipment. "All we left behind was
the cots, the beans and the ammuni
tion" was the explanation of one tired
participant. The marchers in com
panies selected various routes around
the reservation roads, but the hike
was so timed that all marched about
the same distance.
All Have Good Appetites.
Steward W. T. Gifford in his ac
counts shows there is no lack of ap
petite on the part of the cadets. Since
the cainp -opened -the steward's 'figures
show the potential strategists have ab
sorbed 30,000 pounds of potatoes and
18,750 pounds of beef. They have
made way with 1,900 pounds of bread
a day.
Other figures shqwthe camp to
have consumed 4.500 gallons of milk,
1,000 gallons of . buttermilk, 7,500
pounds of flour and 2,250 pounds of
butter.
The Minneapolis public library has
supplied 500 books 'for the men in
camp and announces a central reading
room and branch library will be estab
lished later. The St. Paul library will
also contribute the use of books.
Select Three Sites.
Washington, June 1. Three out of
the sixteen cantonment sites for the
training of the new army were an
nounced today by the War depart
ment. They are Ayre, Mass.; Amer
ican Lake, Wash., and Atlanta, Ga.
Wrightstown, N. J., was designated
late today as th; site for another of
the war army cantonments, bringing
the list of sites selected up to four.

Aliens Sum of $200
Washington, June I. A war tax of
$200 on every adult male alien who

years or more was proposed as a
means of raising $400,000,000 in a
speech in the house today by Repre

Brazil Proposes to
Enlarge Its Army
Rio Janeiro, June 1. A political
movement of considerable strength is
on foot to bring about reorganization
of the . army. The voting of new
credits for military purposes and an
increase in the enlisted strength of the
army has been proposed.
ernor general declared that his entire
policy had been guided by this idea
and that he had labored secretly but
steadily o build up "connections" to
support this program. He added thai
if these secret connections were main
tained he hoped the time would come
when Germany would be compen
sated through Belgium for its great
sacrifice in the war.
Von Bissing continued by saying
that his policy toward the Flemings
and the Belgian church was inspired
and guided by this thought. Perhaps
Cardinal Mercier will be surprised to
read that the general conducted his
church policy with "wise modera
tion." and also his opinion that "I
should perhaps have had an easier
time along kulturkaempf lines (refer
ring to Bismarck's kulturkaempf or
war with the Roman Catholic
church), but we 'need the church
when Nmce we wish to bring German
methods and German labors into
effect in Belgium." '
In conclusion Von Bissing spoke of
the confidence the emperor showed in
him and remarks that his policy in
Belgium had always been conducted
"in accordance with his majesty's di
rections and wishes."
