set the date of his death as after May

date of the cancellation of the United
States revenue stamp which was on

the man in charge of the tobacco
factory, and he told me that the Gig

the latter part Of 1914 we were hit
hard. three skeletons in about a
month, but we identifed all three. No.

skeleton, fully clothed. Not a particle
OF flesh remained on the bones. but
there were no marks of violence.
When the clothing was searched 5
cent piece, 2 pennies, a cigarette box
and pocket handkerchief with the
initial s. were found.
"The skeleton had gold bridge in
the upper jaw. We located the dentist
who made the bridge and secured

that the man had not lived there for
the last two years. We searched the

Germany more seacoast than any
other nation and would have made
Germany authority, from a military
standpoint paramount in all parts Of

Prof. Dixon's statement upon the

intentions did not include making war
on the United States or Spain. The
plan, however, provided for the con-

Pittsburgh. Pa.-The German
dream Of world empire is supposed to
be revealed in a map just received In
this city by the Carnegie Library
from Prof. w. Macnelle Dixon, of the
University Of Glasgow. The map in
dicated that Germany at the outset OF
the war, not only intended to invade
Belgium, France, Russia and the Bal
Ikans. but expected to stretch her en-
pire from the northernmost part of
Sweden to the Cape Of Good Hope
in Africa. 1t also points to the con-
cIusion that there was also included
in the plan of conquest the whole of
South America. Cuba. China and the
Dutch East Indies, and it shows that
Germany, through. her allies, Austria
Hungary, Bulgaria and Turkey, in
tended to open road into Asia and
Africa.
The map and data show further
that the entrance Of England and
France into the conflict at the begin
ming was the only thing that prevent
ed the German armies from sweepin 6
north through Denmark and Sweden
to the Arctic ocean. 1t appears to
have been the Kaiser's intention, sim
ultaneous1y with this move. to push
through Central Africa, while Ger
man fleets landed troops to conquer
South America, China and the islands
of the East and West Indies.
Prof. Dixon's deductions are that
Germany did not intend to make wal
on England. and that all she wanted
was large seacoast along Northern
France, to be gained by occupying
territory north of the Loire and east
of the Rhoen rivers.
