IN PACT TO
KILL RULERS
Scheme of General Assassina-
ton Unearthed in Chicago.
GEAR FIRST, THEN KAISER
All Other sovereigns OF Europe
Doomed BY Plotters, Declares
States Attorney--lnsider
Barred Plot

Chicago. -Existence of an interna-
tional anarchistic plot to assassinate
all rulers ofEurope has been discovered
here, according to a formal statement
issued by Maclay Royne. States At
torney Of Cook county.
The alleged plot was unearthed by
the States Attorneys men while in
vestigating the activities of Jean
Crones, suspected poisoner of the
guests at the banquet in honor OF
Archbishop Mundelein in February. 2
The States Attorney said that a, list
of the proposed assassinations was
headed by the Czar of Russia and that
Emperor William was second on the
list.
According to the information which
reached the States Attorney, the plot
was known to anarchists in various
cities in America, as well as in Eu-
rope. One man from each city was
believed to have been delegated to
the work of assassination.
Mr.. Hoyne said that a written state
ment had been made to him by an
anarchist barring the details Of the al
legged plot.
Officials said the headquarters of the
band of conspirators was in the down
town district and that there were
branches in other cities. According
to Mr.. Hoyne's information, the
Mundelein banquet poisoning was
planned by the group which sought the
death Of the European rulers.
The States Attorney refused to di-
vulge the identity of the man who re-
vealed the alleged plot and said that
his investigators are seeking to con-
firm the statements.
This man said that secret meetings
have been held In Chicago and num-
Der of other cities" said Mr.. Hoyne.
"He said he attended meeting in this
city at which lots were drawn for the
purpose Of picking the assassin, and
that the meetings we're SO guarded
that only the man chosen for the
crime and the leader Of the individual
group knew the particular ruler sim
gled OUT
The assassins were to use poison. &C
cording to the Prosecutors informa-
ton. Bombs were not to be used un-
less it was absolutely necessary" Mr..
Hoyne said he was told.
The anarchist who supplied the in
formation is not under arrest. but the
States Attorney said he could easily
reach him whenever he wanted him.
The information given to the States
Attorney is expected to be turned over
to Federal authorities.
The Prosecutor said his informant
intimated that secret meetings had
been held in New York at about the
time of the Chicago meeting.

HAS No IDEA OF
INVADING AMERICA.
Germany's Chancellor Says il
is Absolutely Silly.
FIGHTING FOR EXISTENCE
Won Hethmann-1o Makes An I'm.
passioned Address In Reiehstag.
contempIates No Violation OF
the Monroe Doctrine.

Berlin. Chancellor Won Bethmann
Holweg protested vigorously in the
Reichstag against the report that Ger
many, now or in the future, contem-
plated aggression against the United
States. The Chancellor said:
1.-THE latest offspring Of the caluna-
mating campaign directed against us
is report that we, after the end Of
this war, shall rush against the Ameri-
can continent and that we shall at
tempt to conquer Canada.
'sThis is the silliest of ali the i'm
putations invented against US. Equally
silly are the reports that we contem-
plate the acquisition of any territory
on American soil, as in Brazil, or in
any American country whatsoever.
I'VE fight for our existence and for
our future. For Germany, and not for
space in foreign country, are Ger
many's sons bleeding and dying on the
battlefield.
Every one among us knows this
and it makes our hearts and nerves
strong. This moral force strengthens
our viii in order not only to weather
the storm, but also to achieve final
victory"
Won Bethmann-Hollweg killed all
hopes in the minds of his hearers that
the war may be brought to an early
end. The Allies response to his offer
to discuss terms of peace was a de-
mand that Germany's military power
be crushed.
ITO these peace conditions only one
answer is left, and this answer our
sword must give" declares the Chan
cellor. "If our adyersaries want to
continue the slaughter of human be-
ings and the devastation of Europe,
theirs will be the guilt, and we will
have to face it like men,"
Continue u-8oat Campaign.
The Chancellor covered every con-
ceivable angle of the military and
diplomatic situation. Among his most
striking declarations were these:
Germany contemplates no violation
of the Monroe Doctrine after the war,
either by conquest OF Canada or by
obtaining foothold in South America
Germany will continue to carry on
her submarine warfare, meeting Eng
lands attempts to starve her out,
though with consideration for the
legitimate rights OF neutrals.
Germany win never Willingly con-
sent to the return of Poland and con-
quered Russian provinces to the Gear
