Washington, Sept. 24.-How Ger
many 'shamefully abused and eS-
plotted the protection of the United
States by secreting in the German
legation at Bucharest, after the Amer.
lean government had taken charge
of Germany's affairs at the Rumanian
capital, quantities of powerful explo-
sives for bomb plots and deadly mic
robes, with instructions for their use
in destroying horses and cattle, was
revealed by Secretary Lansing
1t was another of the series of Mr..

in the same manner as the Won Lux

Argentina to the verge of war with
Germany; the Won Eckhardt letter
from Mexico City and the Won Bern

foreign office for authorization to
spend $4,000 to influence Congress.
The latest story is told in report
to the State Department from VIII
liam Whiting Andrews, secretary of
the legation at Bucharest, and let
ter from Foreign Minister Porumbaru
of Rumania
Parcels and boxes taken into the
German consulate at Bucharest with
display OF great precaution aroused
the suspicious of the Rumanian gov
ernment. On Aug. 81, 1916, the even
ing prior to the date OF Rumania's
declaration Of war, some Of the cases
were taken to the German legation,
located in different building from
the consulate.
taken away from the legation by the
German diplomatic mission on it's de-
parture from Bucharest, the Ru-
manian authorities later ordered the
police to find and examine their con-
| tents. The police communicated with
American Minister Vopicka. then in
charge OF German interests, who re-
luctantly assigned Secretary Andrews
to observe the search.
Fifty-one boxes were taken from
the ground in the garden Fifty of
them contained each cartridge filled
with trinitrotoluene saturated with
mononitrotoluene. among the most
powerful explosives known, one-fifth
of each one being sufficient to tear
up railroad track.
In the other box were bottles of
liquid found to be civilizations of the
microbes of anthrax and glanders.
1t bore seal showing it came from
the German consulate at Kronstadt,
Hungary, and inside was found a
typewriter note in Germany saying:
''In closed (4) phials for horses and
for cattle. To be employed as for
merly arranged. Each phial is suffi-
cient for 200 head To be introduced,
If possible, directly into the animals

results the presence of Mr.. Kostoff

panied his letter with documents tc

lcapitulation OF the militaristic spi-
rit can occur long before the CEN
trial powers have reached the end
of their resources and probably
will.
bankruptcy will not over
whelm the warning nations
for the next IL months. The
systems of borrowing differ
i'm the belIigerent nations,
but they have I'm common the
fact that for the most part,
the wealtr remains within ma
tional boundaries, and can be
utilized time and again at tho
governments call.
The influence of the continual
borrowings upon peace is not due
to the fear of present bankruptcy.
1t is due to the fact trat each
fresh loan must be paid for in ad-
ditional interest charges, to con-
tinue at heavy rate of taxation
long years after the war. ends. IL
bankruptcy overtakes any of the
warning nations It will probably
occur after peace comes, instead
of while the conflict is raging.
Unless the belligerent govern
ments look ahead and curtail their
borrowings to prevent a possible
revolt of overburdened taxpayers
when the war ends, there is no
reason to believe the events of the
new year will compel a shortening
OF home credits.
Man-Power Lasting
Nor have the casualties of the
past 30 months been so enormous
as to compel cessation Of fight
ing because of an absolute lack of
man power. Among the allies,
France, proportionately to her
population. has suffered very Sc
verely. BUT THE BRITISH AND
RUSSIAN LOSSES ARE NOT
GREAT ENOUGH TO CAUSE
THE ALLIES TO FEAR A DE-
PLETION OF FIGHTING MA
TERIAL BELOW THE DEMANDS
OF THE TRENCHES.
There are still more men among
the allies ready for the front than
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1917-01-04

About three-quarters of a mil
lion Germans come to military age
every year. If those unfit for
fighting be deducted, the total
number of Germans who have
reached the trench age since the
war began is approximately the
number who have been killed Oh
permanently injured.
Germany's reserve of man.
hood, therefore, is NOT fall
ing behind the requirements
Of her generals.
But the present casualty lists
are not the dominant factor in in
fluencing the belligerents to con-
slider possibilities of peace. The
killing and manning can go on for
a long time yet, before the cannon
fodder run out. The future effect
on the various nations, when the
INDUSTRIAL demands of peace
find so large a part of the young
workers permanently removed
from the population, is the cause
of the dismay produced by the
persistent casualty returns.
All belligerents have enough
men for another years fighting
and for still another year. But,
when peace comes, If the slaughter
runs yet further, the nation that
has suffered most in young men,
is the nation that will be most Sc
riously handicapped in the indus
trial struggle that will succeed the
struggle of the battlefields.
Resolved to Continue.
So, when the exhaustion of the
belligerents, financially and in
man power, is counted upon to
end the war. the difference be-
tween financial and physical ex-
haustion while the war continues,
and comparative industrial ex-
haustion with an overwhelming
tax rate when peace comes, must
be borne in mind.
The latter condition is now
dominant in the thoughts of Eu-
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1917-01-04

ropean statesmen.
They know the war can certain
ly go forward for another year, IL
1t must; but, they also know that
each additional month of fighting
means the opening of new wounds
that will bleed for years after
peace finally is declared.
Nevertheless, the only possible
deduction from the present situa-
ton Is that the allies are resolved
to fight, regardless of time condi-
lions, until the militarists are
ready to admit that the pen is
mightier than the sword.
There is much evidence that d.
plomacy, as a substitute for war,
is coming into constantly higher
regard among the central en-
pires; and when this state of mind
reaches abe full point of convic-
ton, THE WAR WILL END.
The idea. of the warrior
preachers, so much in favor pre-
vious to the present conflict, are
unquestionably showing signs of
collapse.
Militarism Doomed.
Admitting discourses upon the
doctrines of Bernhard and
Nietzsche are no longer being sent
from Germany into neutral coun-
tries.
Instead, the doctrine of limita-
ton of armament, which the mill
tarists so strenuously opposed
during the decade before the war,
is now meeting with approval in
influential German circles.
As the year 1917 begins,
the fact is unmistakable that
the militarists have not made
good.
Peace is waiting for the
TeutOns to show that they
realize this truth.
How they are to make manifest
their acceptance of the fact is
matter that will require the high
est qualities of craftsmanship to
indicate.
There can be no doubt that the

After the peace terms are writ
ten, this fact will stare upon the
world for generations to come.
The coming event is casting its
shadow as the new year opens.

confession will be a public one;
and there is increasing reason to
believe this Ia what the Germans
themselves are beginning to want.
Militarism has saved the GEN.

out of existence. 1t has proven its

can be properly furnished with all
the necessary implements of war
The Germans have lost most
heavily of the nations in the Teu-
tonic alliance.
The maximum estimate Of the
German dead, issued by the Brit
ish war office, is about ONE MIL
LION.
1t Is highly improbable that
mare than half million Germans
have been SO badly wounded as to
be unable to return to the fighting
line. The total number of Ger
mans permanently removed from
the nations battle strength, since
the war began, therefore, is not
more than 100000.
