Kaiser Conspired Against
United States in 1898

Washington, April II. 90 Interesting
diplomatic information not heretofore
made public was disclosed in Entente
circles yesterday concerning the
friendship which Arthur j. BaIfour.
the British Foreign Secretary and
head of the British Commission bears
to the United States.
At the outbreak of the Spanish Am
erican war in 1898 the German En-
peror sought TO form a coalition of
European Governments TO exert pres
sure on Spain's behalf against the
United States. Mr.. Balfour. then in
the British Foreign Office, opposed the
idea so vigorously that it died prema-
turely and the kaiser's scheme came
to naught.
This fact is a matter of record in
the British Foreign Office, according
to Entente diplomats. Inquiry in Brit
tsh Embassy circles confirmed this in
every detail.

Bolivia was the first South Ameri-
can state to announce its support of
the United States in protesting
against the German submarine
blockade. In a note to the German
Government under date of February
the Bolivian Government de-
nounCed the German blockade proc
lamation as an infringement of the
'imprescriptible rights of civilization
and humanity" and declared that it
consolidated its attitude with that
of the United States Government.
The Bolivian press unanimously sup
ported the position of the govern
ment.
Bolivia is one of the smallest of
the South American states with an
area of 100.00 square miles and
population of a little more than p
250,000. It has no merchant marine
or navy, but has an army with a war
strength of $4,000 which is credited
with being one of the best trained and
equipped in Latin America.

GERMANS FAIL IN
FIELD FIGHTING
British Outwit Teutons in
Drives Through the
Open
BY associated Press

From STAFF Correspondent of the
Associated Press. British Head
quarters in France. via London, April
IA. - 1t is not without difficulty that
one comes to a realization that semi
open warfare has replaced the old
deep trench lighting on the greater
part of the British front. 1t is diff
cult even for the fighting men actually
to grasp the situation, a situation for
which they have waited so long. Tho
Germans possibly feel the change
more than any one else for above all
things they love their underground
comforts. The Germans We're the first
TO transfer fighting to bitches and they
are reluctantly giving up that style OF
warfare.
The deep concreted dugouts and
tunnels along the old front were the
against the ever increasing British
guntire and every time they get an
opportunity to pause now they inn
mediately begin to dig in. They take
to cover as If by second nature. The
British have always contended that
the German dugouts softened the
men, who congregated in them al
ways and could only be kept with
difficulty in the open trenches. So It
was easier to break the British of the
trench habit than has been the case
with the Germans.
Open Field Tactics
Open field tactics have been part
of the training of the new British
army ever since its organization be-
gan in 1914. There has been some
criticism of that system from time to
time on the ground that the war would
always be fought from trench to trench
but for the last few months the Brit
ish army in France has been drilled in
open tactics almost daily. The results
of these training methods have been
apparent in the last few days and will
undoubtedly prove still more valuable
in the wider operations which are un-
questionably coming.
The correspondent saw bit OF field
maneuvering two days ago in which
the British troops completely outwit-
ted part of Germany's crack regi-
ments. 1t is rather a striking COM
mentary that when the war began,
the officer in command of the British
unit was young solicitor and such n
thing as leading soldiers into battle
had never entered his head. Two years
on training in the school of actual war
works its own wonders.

Mr.. Johnson refused positions in
presidential cabinets and twice de-
clined offers of appointment to the
supreme bench. In his long career
he accepted but one pUblic office and
that was an appointment as a Fair

honorary local position.
John G. Johnson was born in Phila-
delphia in humble circumstances, his
father having been a blacksmith.
Left fatherless in boyhood, he was
graduated from the Philadelphia
high school and succeeded in being
admitted to the bar in 1863 without
going to law school.
Note Art Collectors
Hardly second to his legal prestige
was Mr.. Johnson's standing as an art
Connoisseur. In the acquisition of
noted pictures he gradually obtained
a large and highly valuable collec-
ton.
Other collectors eagerly sought his

late Peter \. b. Widener owed much

that it was chosen under Mr.. john

of him in circulation being a copy Of
