KAISER'S NEW PLAN
TO RUSH 8 CORPS
TO FIGHT IN FRANCE
Withdrawal of 100000 Men

to Russians.
PETROGRAD, Sept. II.

IEI RONTltEAD, sept II.
Information was received at the War
Office today that eight German army
corps. numbering 100000 men. which had
been sent East to repel the Russian at
tack in East Prussia, and to strengthen
the Austrian forces in Galicia. have been
withdrawn and are being rushed to the
western zone of operations in France.
(This report contradicts yesterdays dis
patch that the Kaiser had gone to East
Prussia to take personal charge of the
campaign there, leaving the German
armies in France to pursue defensive
tactics against the advancing allies)
LONDON, Sept II.
The movement of eight German army
corps from East Prussia to the theatre
OF war in France is taken to mean that
the Kaiser intends TO aim a final terrific
blow at the allies in an effort to crush
the opposition in France,
Such sourse is directly opposite that
which yesterday was believed TO be the
German plan. The withdrawal of the
900 soldiers in the East can only re-
suit in Fastening the advance Of the
Cars troops toward Berlin.

holm, General Won Hindenberg, the Ger
man commander in East Prussia. has
been recalled to take command Of an
other army 10 be sent against the British

A krool Joke.

The greed with which certain Demo-
cratic papers snap up everything that
.promises to discredit the prohibitory
law sometimes leads to amusing re-
suits. A shining specimen is now going
the rounds. dealer in automobile
tires, blown up to a pressure of AZ
pounds to the square inch, blew off to
a gasping reporter of the Waterville
Sentinel. He allowed that he was the
man who put the bur in Burns as
detective. He played his sucker to
the limit and then let him go with the
bait-his perilous adventures in fer
reting out the border liquor traffic of
Maine. He reached tremendous heights
as the yarn progressed, and delivered
this grand climax: "A million dollars
worth of liquor annually has been
struggled across the border" He had
led up to it by picturing his Aroostook
investigations"
The reporter swallowed it all. and SO
did the Sentinel, and Thursday it was
the joke around the Capital City. But
the climax was capped on Friday
morning when the Portland Argus
blossomed out with the following edi-
torial-and they'll probably stick to
it:
"A dispatch from Augusta says that
kenneth Dresser, representative of the
watts Detective Agency of Boston, had
gust returned from Aroostook county
where he has been engaged in the inves-
tigation of the wholesale liquor SNUG
cling which has been conducted on the
Canadian border. He Is quoting as stat
ing that the liquor fraud along the Ca
madam boundary of Maine has been
enormous. "A million dollars worth of
aiquor annually has been smuggled
across the border declared Mr. Dresser
In discussing the situation with a news

Tenders are bound to be dealt with

VINO are beginning to take d strenuous

RMS interesting statement of Detective
Dresser recalls some facts of the cleo
ton on the prohibition constitutional
amendment. as investigated and report
ed at the time by one of our Republican
contemporaries. That investigation

shown clearly enough by Detective Ores
