1T has been said of me lately, with
out semblance of proof, that | have
encouraged my government to go to war,
that said the German government could
make as many concessions as it wished,
but war was inevitable, because | wished
it. They have said | owned munitions
factory in America and therefore was
financially interested in war.
'ln an effort to malign me they even
wrote to the crown princess that my wife
had decorated her dog with the orders
the kaiser had conferred on her and that
she had taken the dog thus bedeeked for
a walk in Inter Den Linden.
Il am exceedingly incensed at these
false stories. which have
gained wide circulation even in respon-
sible circles in Berlin, ! appeal from
these base falsehoods to the leaders of
the German government.
They know that ! have always done
everything to maintain peace between

Paris, May s--After " days of battle
the Germans are making new attack

army. The fighting is almost equal in
violence to that of the beginning of
March is in progress on both banks of
the Meuse. The principal German effort
is directed against Dead Mans Hill.
A whole army corps assaulted by way
of ravine between Hill No. 304 and
Dead Mans Hill, seeking to rush the
French line of mile and a half. The
attack was received by trained French
corps, who were disposed for the initial
attack, without ceding any important
ground, but the battle is still raging, ac-
cording to the latest advices.
The French war Office announced to-
day that violent fighting continued last
night and that fierce German attacks
near Hill No 304 were broken.

CHASED FOR HOURS.
Steamship Venezia Managed to Escape
and Reached New York.

| New York, May S.-The steamship
yenezia, arriving here yesterday from
Bordeaux, France, with 40 American cit
izens aboard, was fired upon and chased
for several hours by two commercial
raiders while off the Azores, according
to story related when the vessel docked.
Reports had been in circulation for more
than a week that at least one sea raid
er was again operating in the western
Atlantic and the news brought by the
Venezia caused alarm in shipping circles.
The Americans on board, who were em.
ployed in caring for horses transported
on the Venezia's last voyage eastward,
vouched for the accuracy of the story.
According to these men. the Nenczia
encountered the commerce raiders April
2S, when three days out from Bordeaux.
The hostile craft, they said doomed up
without any flag showing and bore down
upon the Fenezis Captain Boniface at
once became suspicious and prepared for
a sudden dash. The raiders signailed to
the Venezia to slow down, but Captain
Boniface's answer was an order for full
speed ahead.
AS the Venezia started to bear away.
according to the story told, a shot passed
over her. This was followed by another,
which dropped close to the Venezia. BE
fore third shot was fired, the Nenezia
had increased the distance between her
and the raiders so that the effort TO
overhaul her proved unsuccessful.
The destroyer, it Fas said, pursued the
Venezis, but the French steamship left /
them far behind, not sighting nor hear
ing from the raiders on the remainder Of |
the voyage.

DISLOYALISTS ARE
CLEANED OUT
British Government is Driving Out of
Government Service in Ireland
Those Found to Be Hostile.

Dublin. May s.-The government is
making rigorous examination into all
local departments with the object of
purging them OF rebels. The Sim Fen
insurrection revealed that many branches
of the government service, particularly
the postofice, have been honeycombed
with disloyalty. The investigation has
thus far uncovered the case of a high
postoffice official who lived in a house
used as a rebel arsenal. A large maga-
zine of explosives, arms and ammunition
was discovered in the house.
London, May s.Sir Roger Easement,
who was arrested on the west coast of
Ireland after landing from a German
ship with the intention of leading the
Sim Fein revolt, will probably be given
a preliminary hearing Wednesday, when
he will be formally charged with high
treason and remanded to trial before
lord chief justice and jury.
