 This information discloses, as one of the primary aims of the war, a plan for the consolidation of an i'm pregnable military and economic un it, stretching from the North Sea tC the Mediterranean. cutting Europe permanently in half controlling the Dardanelles, Aegean and Baltic seas and eventually forming the backbone Of the Prussian world Empire.
 In the light of German history the plan shows how implicitely the Kaiser has followed out his blood and iron policies and the economist methods of Bismarck for the devel opment of Prussian power.

 MT Riggs, according to telegrams from Fairbanks. has submitted the case to Secretary of the Interior Franklin K.
