"Rumors published recently by the

A Berne dispatch says an Official
telegram has been received there from

General Won Stein. the Prussian minis

ministry for the German empire. and
that General Won Stein is a staunch
supporter OF the pan-Germans. who are
the bitterest opponents Of peace with
out annexations or indemnities. Cen
