Pondolfi and his fiance were siezed
at Ravenna, Ohio, just as they appear
ed before the county clerk to secure
marriage license. The sheriff at
Ravenna had been warned of the run
away and was waiting for the couple
when they were about to make appli-
cation for a wedding permit. They
ran away, they admitted early Mon

feeling poorly at the time, was asleep

PAPER OUTLINES WAR AIMS
SAYS GERMANY DESIRES NO NEW
TERRITORY.
Article Supposed to Be An Answer to
British Statesmen's Criticism
Defends Own Domain.

Amsterdam. - The declaration is
made by the semi-official Nord-
deutsche Allgemeine Zeitung Of Ber-
lin that Germany desires no extension
of territory for the purpose of ag-
grandizement, or Of political or eco
nomic accretions of power Germany
wishes solely to defend her own ter
ritory against foreign plans OF con-
quest, the newspaper says, and, more
over, demand such guarantees as will
serve for the purpose Of defense and
self-protection.
These statements are made in COM
menting on recent speeches by Lord
Robert Cecil, British minister of block
ade, and H. H. Asquith, former British
premier. The newspaper says that
apart from the imputations in Mr.. AS
quith's speech, the principles expound-
ed coincide with those of responsible
German quarters, both formerly and
during the present war.
Lord Robert Cecil said in the house
of commons that Great Britain could
not commit herself to policy Of re-
turning German colonies and Turkish
provinces in which the natives have
been mistreated, and asked whether
such a policy should be adopted in
the cases of Poland, Alsace-Lorraine
and Italia irredenta. He said Germany
should make reparation for despoiling
Belgium, Servia and northern France
and destroying merchant ships.
