GERMAN PEACE
PLANS EXPOSED
BY j. s. AGENTS

WASHINGTON, d. c., May 21.-Ger-
manys next peace declaration, eX-
pected to renounce policy of terri
torial expansion on the east and west
is regarded here as largely answered
beforehand by information revealing
for the first time the full scope of the
imperial governments aspirations for
conquest in the south.
This information discloses as one of
the primary aims Of the war a plan
for consolidation CT az is:apr egHa5ie
military unit stretching from the
North sea to the Mediterranean, cut
ting Europe permanently in half, con-
trolling the Dardanelles, the Aagean
and Baltic, and eventually forming the
backbone of a Prussian world en-
pire
Considered in view of the present
map, it shows that the major portion
of the kaiser's war program has been
accomplished.
A full realization of this situation
adds a new force to the repeated decla-
ration of allied statesmen that pre-
mature truce only would give Germany
a resting period in which to further
Prussianize and prepare for greater
world war the territory TO the south
east which she has conquered under
the guise of a friendly alliance.
How minutely defined is the German
plan has been fully apparent only with
the opening up during the last few
weeks of several ne wayenues of in
formation The return of American
diplomats from the central empires,
detailed confidential reports of the re
cent frank expressions in the reichAI
stag and in the German press and the
deductions of alert American agents
abroad have supplied the explanation
of more than one hitherto obscure fea-
ture of the German policy.

OLD RESIDENT Of
AMER|CUS IS DEAD

The whole community is saddened
today by the death of Mrs. John w.
| Wheatley. which occurred this morn
| ing at II o'clock at the family home

older generation of the Dudley and
Xheatley families, and has lived at
the family home since 1868. OF quiet
and gentledisposition, she did much

NURSES KILLED
BY SHELL FIRED
ON OWN VESSEL

NEW YORK, May 21.-Two AmerI-
can Red Cross nurses, Misses Edith
Ayres and Helen Burnett, both of Chi
cago, were killed and one other nurse
seriously injured yesterday on board
ali American steamship en- route TO
France, to assume their duties with an
ambulance unit attached to Base Hos
.pital No ~.
The nurses were struck by splinters
OF shell fired by the naval gun crew
III board the vessel carrying them to
Europe, the gunners being engaged in
practice preparatory to actual defense
against German submarines.
The shell rieocheted from the surface
or the water and scattered among a
group of nurses on the main deck of
the steamer.
The gunners explained that when the
shell struck the water about 175 feet
from the vessel, the centrifugal force
generated caused the bits of shell to
be hurled back toward the ship.
The vessel sailed for Europe on Sat
urday, but returned to port this morn
ing with the bodies of the nurses
A navy department dispatch gives
no details of the accident, other than
to say the nurses were killed by frag-
ments of brass from one of the liners
guns. This is taken, however to dis.
pose of the first report that they had
been struck by a shell ricocheting from
the water, and indicates they were
killed as the result of some sort Of
gun accident
