Hoi1&)eg SAYS war Up to United States
BEAUFORT, ONCE LAUGHED At IN
AMERICA, IS NOW BRITISH HERO

| London. March 3O.--A British hero,
one of the bodies, Of international
spies, is young man whose name
was once on many lip in America,
but in mention far from heroic.
He is Count Jan Mourik de Beau
fort, who married lrma Kilgallen, Chi
cago heiress, and is said to have been
kicked downstairs by her irate father,
Mike" Kilgallen.
Irma afterward married Joe How
ard, song writer, and finally killed
herself in an Omaha hotel.
But Beaufort, who left America al
ter his unfortunate marriage, became
secret agent, and his recent revela-
tions Of German defense conditions
along the North sea and ilelgoland
have proved of great value to the ad-
miralty.
Five years ago Count de Beaufort
told an interviewer: II am going to
prove to the American people that a
count can be man in spite Of his
title"
That remark is now recalled by
American correspondents in London.
They think he has made good, if it
did need the opportunity OF a world
war to do it.
Once, in the United States, the
count went on the vaudeville stage,
his turn being a droll account Of his
adventures while q kilgallcn son-in-
law and manager of the kilgallen in
tcrests in New York,
IN the hearing that resulted in an
nument of the BeaufOrt-Kilgallen
marriage. Fatherintlaw Mike alleged
that the count beat his bride and
dragged her about the house, and that
she fell 80 feet over a balustrade
while trying to escape him.
Irma spent some weeks in a hos
pital before her divorce.
One of the counts war feats was
interviewing Field Marshal Won Hin
denberg, in the guise Of a newspaper
correspondent. before making his trip
along the North sea coast and enter
ing the secret rooms Of the German
admiralty.
In the admiralty, Eeaufort found
large-scale maps of British haruors
and dockyards-bet maps than he
had seen in England.
But his most valuable work was in
connection with coast defenses. His
discoveries along the North sea have
proved Of great value to the British
admiralty, and may interest the Am
erican navy department il the United
States gets into the war.
He mapped the mouths of the Elbe
and Weser. including Cuxhaven and
Wilhelmshaven, and the q forts and
many batteries that guard this little
strip of coast
He also obtained war map of Hell
goland, the tiny slet that is Ger
many's North sea Gibraltar. Now
England knows the exact location Of
the guns on the Helgoland rocks. the
Zeppelin sheds, etc.
Accompanied by German naval Of
ficer, Beaufort inspected the kiel ca
nal, although he was allowed to bring
nothing from the canal but the in
formation he could store in his brain.
He also listened to a naval lecture
by Admiral Won koester Of the Ger
man fleet. and returned to England
through Holland.
Beaufort's title is Dutch, and he
posed in Germany as correspondent
for Dutch newspapers.

Little Hope to German Peo-
pie Of Early reforms
UNRESTRICTED SUBMARINE
URGED AS NECESSITY
Shifts All responsibilities of Hos
tilities Upon Government of
United States
(ASSOaicted PreSS)

London, March 30.-A Reuters dis
patch from Amsterdam today adds
the following to the wireless version
of the speech Of DR.. Won Bethmann
Hollweg. the German imperial chan
cellor in the Reichstag
''Regarding the military situation,
have little to add to the army reports.
In the east extensive operations are
out OF the question at present. The
season Of impossible roads prevents
operations Cn a greater scale.
In the west, our backward move
ments are being effected according to
plans and lead to daily increasing
freedom OF movements. The thanks
of the entire people are due to the
troops and their skillful leaders.
Standing With Tenacity.
"On all the other fronts, our troops
are standing with undiminished ten-
acity. In Macedonia, Bulgarian and
German troops are splendidly repuls-
ing French attacks on great scale.
''Regarding the submarine war, the
secretary Of the admiralty today made
a detailed statement to the main COM
mittee of the Reichstag.
Discussing internal politics, the dis
patch quotes the chancellor as say
ing: s.-.. -@
"Althoilgh 7 would like it best if we
could make reforms in the franchise
tomorrow, | doubt whether the mo-
ment when we concentrate all our
strength against the enemy is the
right moment for inaugurating new
law. 1t must be subordinate to bring
ing the war to a happy conclusion
No Intention Of Attack.
Germany never had the slightest
intention of attacking the United
States of America and does not have
such intentions now. 1t never de-
sired war against the United States Of
America, and does not desire it to-
day." was the declaration made by
the chancellor in dealing with the in
ternational situation.
Reviews Causes.
The Chancellor made important
declaration concerning Germany's pol
icy toward the United States and Rus
sia.
"How did these things develop
asked the chancellor in speaking of
the relations with the United States.
He then proceeded to answer the
question by reviewing the causes
which lead up to the German use of
submarines in unrestricted warfare.
Declaring that Germany had under
taken unrestricted submarine war
fare for it's defense, DR.. Won Bethmann
HOllweg said:
Wont Bear Responsibility.
"If the American nation considers
this cause to declare war against the
German nation, with which it has
lived in peace for more than 100 years,
if this warrants an increase in blood
shed, we shall not have to bear the
responsibility of it,
"How did these things develop"
he continued. more than once, we
told the United States that we made
unrestricted use of the submarine
weapon expecting that England could
be made to observe, in her policy of
blockade, the laws of humanity and
international agreements"

Washington. March 3O.-Only actual
war was talked generally in Washing
ton today. German Imperial Chancel-
lOr Won Bethmann Hollweg clinched
the idea.
were booked for late afternoon ses-
sion, at which time they are expected
to shake the last details of what will
mean the United States entrance into
the conflict in some fashion to be de-
cided by congress.
Doubt Swept Aside.
All doubt has been swept aside in
the lines of international experts that
President Wilson will make forcible
demand on congress that America play
strong defense of American rights.
Universal Training.
That President Wilson is turning
more strongly in favor of some kind
of universal military training is the
view of officials. The president him
self has made no announcement.
A Bitter Conflict.
Military men who know something
about the policy of the government
declare the entrance of the United
States into the war will make it the
bittcrest this government has ever
seen Congress ought not to favor
voluntary training depending upon en-
thusiasm which may wane later. Con-
gress will uphold President Wilson to
the last hitch, it is said.
Will Outline OiienseS.
The president, according to specu-
lation, will only outline before con-
gress the long list Of German offenses
which have forced this nation into
war mot Of its own choosing"
Chancellor Hollweg's apparent at
tempt to place the burden on the Unit
ed States is regarded as showing for
the first time lack Of the chancel-
lor's usual punch.

The observatory reported a temper
ature of 50 degrees above at the

Washington, March 3O.-Steps in
anticipation Of President Wilson's ap-
pearance before congress next week
and for action on whatever recon-
mendatiOns he may make to meet the
national emergency, began to take
final form today. These steps were:
Writing Message. .. -.s
The president held final confer
ence with his cabinet, preparatory to
starting the actual writing of the ad-
dress he will deliver before a point
session of the house and senate.
Consider Organization.
House Democrats held a caucus to
consider plans for organization Of the
house by their party and q committee
CT u Republicans met to prepare
final recommendation for Organiza-
tion Of the house, which will be laid
before a caucus of Republicans tomOr-
row.
Plans for raising revenue were con-
sidered at meeting Of Democratic
members Of the ways and means COM
mittee.
Speed up Revenue Bills.
Senator Chamberlain, chairman of
the senate military affairs committee,
following his conference with the
president yesterday over his univer-
sal military training plan, agreed to
press for prompt action in the SEN
ate on the regular army appropriation
bill, which failed at the last ession,
as soon as it comes over from the
house. .....
Can Raise Army Of 7OO,OOO.
The senator assured the president
that he already has authority without
further congressional action to raise
Immediately an army of more than
100000 by increasing the regular
army to war strength and calling out
the entire national guard, at war
strength.
Orders were being prepared today
calling out additional guard forces in
several eastern states. They contem-
plate an increase of at least two regi-
ments of infantry to the $4,000 guards
men already added to the federal SER
vice for police protection work
Mr. Clark is confident of reelection
when the house meets Monday. There
was no opposition today to him, and
inaton. Representative Shackelford,
a colleague, made the nominating
speech and the formality of voting
was dispensed with.
Mr.. Clark has been in congress
more than 20 years, and has been
speaker Of the last three congresses.
After the nomination, the caucus
took up questions of house organiza-
ton.
President Wilson now has before
him recommendations of his princi-
pal cabinet advisers and in general
way has heard the sentiment Of the
country.
The preponderance of the opinion
forwarded to the White House is for
a declaration that state of war ex-
lists between the United States and
Germany.
kilograms advising the president
are being received in large numbers.
Many of them, couched in identical
favor the maintenance Of
peace.
