Since we knew that the present
war was to be forced on US, 1t became
our highest duty to anticipate the
struggle by every necessary and pos
sible preparation for the defense Of
the fatherland against the iron ring
which our enemies have for years
been carefully and steadily Welding
about us. The fact that we foresaw
and SO far as possible forestalled the
attempt to crush us within this ring
and the fact that we were prepared to
defend ourselves. Is now being used
as an argument in an attempt to con-
vince the world that we not only
wanted this conflict. but that we are

General Joffre is man Of actor
and not of words. His departure from
his headquarters to meet the party
Of newspaper men from the neutra

characteristic of all great leaders. He

terror" is no more and great is the
rejoicing thereat among one wing or
the German army which it had dis
turbed much.
For long period, every evening
about s o'clock, the machine used TO
appear over the trenches south OF
Rheims. drop just one bomb, which
never failed to scatter death and de-
struction, and then disappear Ger
man ayiators ascended repeatedly and
made futile attempts to bring down
the dangerous visitor. 1t was evi-
dent that the machine carried MUIR
derous machine gun and that its oc-
cupants were no mean marksmen.
Every aviator who pursued the
"Bauernschreek" sought eagerly the
honor of bringing it down, and as q
result Of bravery shown in pursuit
one non commissioned officer won an
iron cross but lost his life. After be-
ing shot through the hips by gun
in the French machine, he continued
to pilot German aeroplane for nine
miles
Finally a reserve artillery captain
evolved new base for howitzer, so
constructed as to permit great eleva-
ton and rapid change OF objective
and the second shot from it finished
the 'Bauernschreck." Both occu-
pants were charred and mutilated be-
yond recognition 1t could only lbe
told that one was an officer and the
other a civilian.
