4 Eamous panlsh JournaIlstl

GA Famous Danish JournaIist) From the Dutch Frontier April 2S- I have just returned from Berlin, in the course Of which have had ex. ceptional opportunities of obtaining first hand information concerning the Imperial Court, the leading men around the Kaiser. and some or the secrets of diplomacy.
 To begin with. let me give you some details showing how Germany preneditated the war. The facts give have never been published, but they are common knowledge to neu. tral diplomats in Berlin.
 The Germans first decided that war was inevitable in the spring of 1914. Its plans. aimed more against Russia. than France, were made with greatest percision and in com plete secrecy
 In February, 1914, the heads of the state railroads received confidential orders to hold up all extension works unless they should prove to be useful in the event of war. and to push for ward those which might strengthen the national defesses.
 At the beginning of spring, officers of the reserve received significant instructions. In February they re- ceived circular containing orders such as are only given for moblliza- tion. In March they received a sec ond circular telling them exactly the station of departure and number of the train which they must join their corps.
 But 1t was not until July that the German government saw the possibiI- ity of European conflict That day. while the diplomats were leaving Berlin for their summer homes, a crown council was held at Potsdam. at which Emperor William decided to give a free hand to Austria-Hun- gary in dealing with Serbia.
 The Emperor seems to have given way at this moment to the strong pressure that had been exercised up- on him for a long time by his mili- tary entourage. Won Bethmann-Holl- weg. although Chancellor of the Elm pire did nothing to stay the war par ty. A small group of Prussian off cers, invested with the confidence of the Emperor, were on tap. The Chancellor was not Of their party.
 When Emperor William returned from his trip to Norwegian waters undertaken SO as not to alarm the European Cabinets-he still meant to avert war.
 know positively that cipher tele- grams were sent to the military at- tache in Petrograd telling him what kind of telegrams to send to Berlin in order to influence the Kaiser The German ambassador in Vienna and the Russian ambassador in Paris both schemed to bring on the war.
 On July 80 another development was stage-managed with the object of constraining the Emperor to order the mobilization of the army and macy. The telegram from the mili- tsry attache at Petrograd. giving de- tails Of certain Russian military meas ures. having been received the Kai- scr's advisers held it hack until he was seated in conference with his general staff.

BURTON CALM
AS MOB JEERS
AT TERMINAL
Mother Who Drowned Her
Two Children In His Com
pany on Way to Prison.

New Haven, Feb. 16.-Humiliated
and sneered at by a throng of several
hundred persons while he awaited the
arrival of the train which would con-
vey him to Wethersf1eId prison, the
dramatic career of Franklin r. Bur
ton, former state senator and Ansonia,
banker, and former Stratford resident,
attained a sensational climax at the
Union station yesterday morning.
Fate seemed to play weird pranks
with him, for an attempt to take him
to prison by auto and spare him the
gaze of a crowd was fRdstrsTd when
the auto broke down.
Standing with his back to the huge
throng that pressed in on him, the
convicted banker stared calmly out of
a window of the waiting room, and
although many comments of a decid :
edly unpleasant nature were passed
within hearing distance of him, Bur
ton retained the remarkable se1f-con-
troll he exhibited throughout his entire
trial and at no time gave vent to his
feeling or appeared disturbed.
Standing unhandcuffed and practi-
cal1y unguarded, the ex-banker was
surrounded by a group of nine chained
convicts awaiting the same fate as
himself, term at Wetbersfeld. To
his left sat a haggard, broken spirited
woman, who stared vacantly at the
IcrOwd and at frequent intervals gave
vent to sobs and crying spells. The
woman was Sophie Krause, sentenced
t. life for the murder of her two chill
dren in Milford A little on within
reach of the banker sat Daminico
Sandocket, sentenced to ten years for
burglary.

Anticipating Rejection By
Voters Of Big Debt Pro
posals, Board of Educa-
ton Plans For Emergency
That Threatens to Cripple
School System.

In the belief that all bond issues
will be defeated and therefore there
will be no money for new schools, the
board of education last night voted to
ask the board of apportionment for a
mill tax to provide the new schools
which the board contemplates. The

the subcommittee of the apportion-
ment board will meet Thursday even
ing President Ravens of the school
board said that DR.. Robert J. Lynch
and Frank E. Clark. members of the
committee on educational matters
from the tax board had suggested that
such a request be made to make GER
tain that money enough would be
provided for new schools in the event
that all the bond issues are defeated.
DR.. Charles c.. Godfrey, Howard S.
Challenger, Harry H. DeLoss and Rob
ert D. Goddard would not vote for or
against the proposition but they ex-
pressed themselves as feeling that it
was well enough to take up the matter
when the time came. The 2 mill tax
will produce about $4,000.
Rev. Howard LaFie1d for time will
teach the French classes in the school.
No action was taken in the employ
ment of George c. Wilson of Newfng-
ton, Mass, to succeed Miss Margaret
