Evidence Of Kaiser's Designs
Admitted to Be in Hands Of
the State Department,
But Kept Secret.
WAITED ONLY FOR PEACE
Statement Of Lord Cecil That
Britain Had Proof of Hos
tile Intentions Is
Backed Up.
ONLY FOR PEACE
BY United Press.

Washington. D. c.. Aug. as.zEvi-
dence which made the government Of
ncials believe that Germany intended
Uaging war against the United States
at the close Of European hostilities is
In the hands of the administration. The
state department announcement CON
firmed Lord Cecips statement that the
Germans had such intentions.
Gerard Brought Proof.
The department refused specific
statements as to what evidence it had.
1t is believed that the plans against the
United States were brought by former
Ambassador Gerard on his return from
Germany,
Gerard himself has said that the
Teutons la their eyes on this COUNTRY
and Lord Cecil claims to have proof
OF this. The net drawn. around the
government by the kaiseiss agents is
known to the state department. and in
cludes the clumsy attempt Of thinner
mar to persuade Mexico and Japan to
combine against ~this5co,ntry.
To Be Used in Peace Note.
This and other incidents show the
trend of. the Teutonic mind gains
America. The evidence wiii afford the
president opportunity to show why
America cannot consider peace as long
as the kaiser dominates the STeutons.

The editions Of books printed 3DO or

from typographical errors, which may
be attributed to the fact that early
publishers were generally eminent
scholars and themselves gave much
attention to the revision Of their proofs.
After reading the proofs they frequent
" turned them over to other scholars
with the request to revise and correct.
