Naturalists commissioned by the
United States government have dis.
covered on the distant island of Lay.

many novel facts in regard to known

their writing tables, wonderingly in.

All the world is sirging-listen:

Won WALDERsEE'S PLAN.
He Wanted to Attach Chi Lii provinces
to German China.

Paris, March 9.-Colonel Marchand,
the hero of F'ashoda, in the course OF
an interview published in the Matin,
today, is quoted as saying that the
late Field Marshal Won Waldersee,
while in command of the allied forces
at Pekin. had the purpose of making
the province of Chi Lii, part of the
Hinterland of the German possessions
in Shan Tung, and was prevented only
through repeated representations Of
Russia to Germany.
The colonel, who accompanied the
French forces to Pelxin, describes his
intimate personal relations with the
field marshal during the operations of
the allies and adds that Won Waldersee
complimented Marchand on the Iatter's
African achievements and invited him
frequently to be a guest at his private
table. They discussed the organization
and merits of French troops. Concern
ing the present war, Colonel Marchand
remarks:
Field Marshal Won Waldersee was
too diplomatic to express an opinion
upon the general question which al
ready was seen to be presented and is
now being solved by recourse to arms.
He strictly carried out his role of I'D
vancing German interests. He desired
particularly that Chi Lii should become
in some way a Hinterland of German
San Tung and repeated observations
by Russia to the chancellory at Berlin
