New York. Aug. 24.-Count Won
Bernstorff, the German ambassador to
the United States, returned to his post
today on the steamer Noordam and
gave out one of the most authoritative
interviews yet expressed here on Ger
many's attitude toward the war. Ger
many was bound to WIN in the end, he
said; she was lighting because her
cause was just. He predicted that
Americans would come to regard the
conflict In this light Italy. he be-
lieved, would not permit herself to take
sides against Germany.
From the emperor to the lowest un-
skilled workman in the fatherland
Germany Is united to defend herself
against the frivolous and unwarranted
attack of Jealous powers" said the
ambassador. THE German people will
fight to finish and will be victorious
in the end.
AT the outbreak of the war" he
continued. "the English cut the cable
to this neutral country for the sole
purpose of preventing the truth from
coming here. There was no excuse for
that act, except the desire to deceive
the people of the United States as to
the true conditions of the war.

not feel very safe The Japanese will
doubtless take Kiao- Chow -s h r

the end Of the war Japan will have the
supremacy OF the Pacifio-a thing she
has striven for during many years.
Japan took advantage OF the situation
to strike this blow for the sole pur-
pose of acquiring this supremacy.
When the true story OF the assault
on Liege is told, Americans will have
a far different opinion than that
gained from the colored accounts from
Belgian, French and English sources.
AS matter of fact, the troops under
Won Emmich, which went to the as
sault of this strongly fortified posi-
ton, numbered only between 5000 and
5000 infantry and cavalry. The taking
Of Liege was one of the greatest mil
itary feats of modern times What
was expected TO take weeks was ac-
complished in days by two brigades.
Won Emmich was slightly wounded In
the leg during the attack, but did not
relinquish command"
The ambassador denied reports that
the German crown prince had been
wounded by an assassin In Berlin
Moreover, he added. the crown prince
never had been wounded before Liege
for the simple reason that he was not
at Liege. but in command OF the troops
at the fortress of Metz.

Query: If the mine guards were do
ing nothing illegal, why did Morley
care whether their acts were reported
to the press? Those who hide from the,
light have something they do not wish
to- be seen. Mr.. Felts might be able
to confess a little about this confess
sion. i
At least one resident of Colorado out
of work, refused to do the dirty work
of the hired gunner. This mans
name sis Mike lBrines, who, on the day
before Christmas, 1913, subscribed and
swore to the following Before H. Char
iglione, notary public of the county
of Pueblo, 'Colorado:
t'eOn Sunday, December %, 1913, a
man whom / knew as the proprietor
of the White City pool hall, told me
h t h e ould put me next to a
job He Sent me to a man named
Trimble or Tumble, living at no East
Fourth street, Pueblo, Colorado. I
started for his place and met mail
carrier, asking the latter just the exact
location of the house. While we were
talking Trimble came along ACCOM-
panied by another man and the mail
carrier said that was him. ten stop
ped Mr.. Trfmble about the job. He,
told me to come to his house at 6
o'clock that evening and we would
have a private talk. / went to his
house by appointment and while there
he told me all there was to the JOB
was to 90 down and watch the agita-
tors and knock hell out of them. /
asked him what he meant He said
the union men are raising disturb
ance with the men in their mines. He
said we were to. protect men and prop
erty. Then | told him that | would
think it over. He told me to meet him
at the depot if l wanted to go. He
gave me a ticket and said could go
tonight or go with him in the morning.
made up my mind that did not want
to be a dirty mine guard, and | went
to the depot in the morning to give
him back his ticket. He said ! was
foolish in not going; that it. was easy
Iworksand good pay, $50 per month and
| room. HeNsaid that would be supplied
with gun and ammunition He said
that would be protected by everybody
that there would be four or five of us
together. His wife also told me to go
and kept trying to persuade me. re-
fused to go.
i So swore Mike Brines, after presum-
ably a careful Investigation Of the du
| ties of mine guard and gunman under
1.-THE Ba1dwin-Felts Detective Agency
which takes up almost any kind OF
case except divorces. Knocking he'll
out of agitafors, according to Brine's
confession, was one of the chief duties
of a privately-employed keeper of law
and order
The operators of the Roman System
4 1900 years ago tried to knock hell out
of an agitator in Palestine. The name
of that agitator was Jesus Christ, and
you f1ay see the evidence in a book
|Ecalled the New Testament.

alton" Secretary Wilson told the Pres
ident Groups of men on both sides,
without military or police authority for
it, have used firearms with fatal eff
feet in the coal strike in southern Col
orado. These arms and ammunition
have doubtless been procured through
interstate commerce; and many of the
armed men are said to have been i'm
ported into Colorado from other
states by a bushes concern engaged
in supplying corporations with an arm
ed and trained private soldiery OF po-
lice in numbers running into hundreds
and even thousands. In connection
with the Pere Marquette strike in
Michigan, armed guards, furnished by
agencies in other states supplying men
to take the place of local strikers, ac-'
companied those men to Grand Rapids.
They were there turned back by the
United States Grand Marshal under
instructions from the district judge. In
the Calumet copper mining region,
armed guards under contract with the
employers we're forwarded to the To-
cality by agencies in other States. In
view of the facts in these three cases
and of the well-knoWn fact that de-
tective agencies are to- a greater or
less extent engaged commercially in
supplying groups of armed men across
state lines. the Department recon-
mends that congress take action within
it's constitutional limitations to regu-
late this> business in the interest OF

fact was that the guards which Mr..
Felts employed at IS and $3.50 day

sixty per cent, were of an utterly diff
