GENERAL
STEALS POWDER
FROM PRUSSIANS
Maistre Important Factor
In Forcing Germans
From the Aisne

Paris, Nov. 10.-(Correspondence of
the Associated Press General
Maistre, who commanded the French
army that conquered the last re-
naming positions Of the famous
Chemin des Danes and thus earned
promotion to the rank Of grand off,
Ger in the order Of the Legion of
Honor, began to serve his country
when he was twelve years old by
purloining powder from the Prus-
sian soldiers who were quartered In
the house OF his parents in the
Franco -Prussian arw OF 1870. The
boy who was afterward to lead the
French army in one Of the hardest
fought battles OF the great war, laid
away the stolen powder for cunning
expeditions in the forests near his
home. There was some OF this bor-
rowed ammunition left when the
present war began.
Sixth of his class on entering the
military school at Saint Cyr Maistre
was first when the class graduated.
He was third in his class at the War
school.
lieutenant Maistre's career began
with q mission to Gratz, Austria,
where he became initiated into the
practices Of the Kriegspiel which he
helped introduce at home. Captain
in 1887 and major in 1898, he was
named professor Of general tactics at
the War school.
AS lieutenant colonel, Maistre
commanded the 79th Infantry, one OF
the celebrated regiments of Nancy,
and as colonel was transferred to
the 106th infantry, called the "regi-
ment of Steel" forming part Of the
iron division" that has distinguish
ed itself on nearly ell the most fam
iliar battlenelds OF the war.
Brigadier-general in 1912, Maistre
was appointed q member OF the
committee Of the general staff" and
at the beginning Of August, 1914, was
chief of stan to General Ilangle de
Cary who commanded the fifth
French army in the battle Of the
Frontiers, the battle Of the Marine
and at the beginning OF the battle
of Verdun.
Maistre became a general OF divis-
ion just before the battle of the
Marne end was placed In command
OF the 21st corps. He won the crav-
ate Of commander Of the Legion Of
Honor in that battle at the head Of
the 21st corps, afterward leading 1t
in the battle of Notre Dame de
Lorette, after which he relieved the
goth corps at Verdun.
In the changes OF command conse-
quent upon the reorganization of the
general staff after the partial often
sive on the Chemin des Danes In
April, 1917. Maistre was placed in
command OF an army. To him Is due
q large part Of the credit for forcing
the Germans to abandon the formid-
able positions they had organized on
that ridge which commanded the
region of the Aisne between Scissors
and Craonne.

international Dealings.
What was at this time the most
important matter OF the conference
was taken up at the conclusion OF the
declaration Of principles. A declara-
tion was made demanding the aboll-
ton Of secret diplomacy and that the
United States urge that the consent
OF Ifle peoples OF InB HdtIOHS bB IlAA
to any treaties or agreements among
civilized nations, and a further de-
mand was made for the advocacy
of the freedom OF the seas to all peo-
pie and the enforcement OF order by
the policing of the seas as the coll
lective function Of the associated ma
tons, and for the prohibition Of dis
criminatory taxes upon commerce
among the people OF the various ma
tons. A declaration was made
against diplomatic military support
to foreign investments and TO do
away with the necessity for anything
Of the sort and for the PRONUNCIATION
Of permanent peace among the ma
tions Of the earth. The creation Of
an international tribunal was favor
ed which should be so constituted as
to represent all Of the nations Of the
earth and whose mandates might be
enforced by the united nations Of
the earth organized for the purpose
OF enforcing international equality
and maintenance of order.
No Government Experiments.
To those who have given thought
to the principles just set forth. there
will appear nothing new and untried.

Russia fin their elemental way did not
wait for the war to end. The people
OF America, OF different habits and
ideals, who are more amenable 20
government and who have felt more
political power than those OF Russia,
will fight the war through. But un-
less q foundation IL now Laid Tor the
amelioration of conditions which
may become uncomfortable, there win
be trouble brought upon all Of US
which may well be avoided by giving
thought TO the problems as they now
exist The first problem 20 be solved
is that of the avoidance OF future
wars. America is a living answer 70
this problem. Our colonies in ITT6
became by their declaration, thirteen
separate nations. The confederation
during the Revolutionary war be-
came by the adoption of our con-
stitution, a union. That IL was a uTl-
ion was not freely admitted until the
horrors Of our civil war brought the
people to a realization that the cot1n-
try could not exist half slave and half
free, nor could 1t exist In independent
individual states with rights as
against another political division Of
our country. Our people saw IL
clearly then and realize IL today. The
same principles applied in a larger
sense to the nations OF the world
show to all OF such nations just az
clearly as to US, that there Is no
room on this small earth which, by
the inventions Of rapid transpoFta-
ton and communication has IN two
generations shrlInk 10 one-tenth OF
its former size. for a division OF peo-
pies for the purpose Of wrestling from
others differently or less Fortunate
ly situated any Of their rights, their
lands or their political or industrial
liberty. The same remedy which was
applied TO the thirteen independent
nations which grew into this mighty
union may he applied 10 the nations
OF the world and the government OF
the nations which shall supplant our
present international anarchy must
be based upon principles Of equity
and Justice, enforcible by the police
power of all Of the nations. inter
preted by international tribunals.
When this shall be done and the
rights OF all Of the peoples Of the
earth fairly recognized. the time may
approach--then will the sword be
beaten into plowshares and the spear
into pruning hooks and nation shall
not rise up against nation and war
shall be no more.
