PART OF GERMAN SCHEME

LEWISTON, Maine, Dec. 2O-Amer.
ica's war aims and German intrigue
were described by John Burke, treas.
urer OF the United States in an ad-
dress before the Maine state grange.
AS showing Germany's insidious
campaign Of intrigue. MIR. Burke de-
clared that Ambassador Bernstorff-
living under the protection Of the
American flag, his embassy guarded
by American policemen, protesting
for this country every friendship a
man could bestow-was ever schem-
ing and spying to involve the United
States in war with Mexico and Japan.
I'VE hear no more in these days"
he said, "of Mexican atrocities. We
no longer have Mexico held up to US
as a lond of internal evil. Simply be.
cause the reports of atrocities were
part of skillful German propaganda
which of necessity has ended since
the war began.
"Now we are in this war. In ten
months the authorities at Washington,
despite the abuse to which they have
been subjected, by those who don't
understand, have placed 100000 men
under arms-a greater army than
Lord Kitchener was able to equip in
two years. When the armies of Great
Britain, with their tasks, start for the
Hindenburg line: when the armies of
America, trained and equipped, com.
plete them; and when from 10000 to
$4,000 American airplanes rain bombs
upon the German trenches-then war
will come pretty near to being what
General Sherman said it was"

ate Points.
Headqus rters of the Italian army in
northern Italy, Dec. 20.-EXtremely
heavy fighting has again developed
both in the northern mountain region
and along the lower Pave. The enemy
has made five separate attempts to
cross the Sile, or old Piave. His main
effort was about three miles above
the mouth of the river where pontoons
and bridge were used. The first
party succeeded in getting across, but
after a series of furious attacks was
driven back to the waters edge,
where it is still held.
Four other simultaneous attempts
in the same region were repulsed in
the main, but fighting continues.

pose. OF nations making common sac
rifces for one great end The crisis we
are living through to-day Is possibly a
greater crisis than that which struck
this country In 1870. 1t Is one the i'm
portance OF which extends far beyond
the boundaries OF this community and
touches the whole world. not in America
alone. not in Europe only, but wherever
the ideals OF Christian civilization have
come to flourish

society. opened the ceremonies by pre-
senting the following for honorary mem
