said:
I'VE Alsatians and Lorrainers will
never forget that our emperor by his
peace offer, showed his readiness to
end the miseries of the war. We, bless
every action tending to shorten the
war by a single day and reject every
thing that, alleged to he taken to bet
ter our lot, in fact only serves to pro-
long the war and our sufferings.
ssAn overwhelming majority of AL
satians and Lorrainers did not want
the war and only wanted to work out
to completion their position as mem
bers of a state in union with the Ger
man empire and to proceed with
peaceful labor. In this connection the
war has made no change as far as we
are concerned

speech, says:
".such, then, are the views of the

sons under arrest in connection with
alleged plots to kidnap C. A. Clement,

maintained their innocence of any
connection with the disappearance of

rounds the child's disappearance
seemingly is as far from a solution
as it was on the night his father drove
an automobile many miles over Ozark
hill roads following instructions of the
supposed kidnappers, only to return
home empty handed.
City detectives announced with the
arrest last night of George Walker,
a taxicab driver, that it was thought
the link connecting the Clement plot
and the Keet kidnapping soon would
be established.
It was said today that three of the
prisoners taken in connection with the
plots still remained in Jail here, while
the whereabouts of four Others one
