Won Kissing Letter Says Germany
Must Retain All of Belgium

Copenhagen (Via London), June l..
The late Governor General Bissing
of Belgium maintained until the day
Of his death his belief i'll the neces-
sity of the complete annexation OF
Belgium tc Germany. German advo-
Gates OF moderate peace have been as
serting that Won Bissing changed the
views he expressed in the memoran-
dun he addressed to the emperor ad-
vocating annexation.
This is disproved by a letter writ
ten by Won Bissing on January ID to
the Reichstag deputy, DR.. Stresemann.
In this letter General Won Bissing de-
clared that the war was lost If Bel
gium, at the end, was not chained to
Germany, to be ruled and exploited
in Germany's interest.
He chides those Superficial think
ers who wish to content themselves
with guarantees of paper nature, or
who consider the Meuse line an ade-
quate frontier, a line which can never
constitute the frontier which we
need"
Won Kissing goes on to say that the
frontier needed to protect Belgium
against England and France must be
advanced as far as conceivable north
ward, and that the coast is and must
be part Of that frontier. The gov

cable advices received by Chinese

Nj Shi Chung, the dispatches said,
is heading the revolt and has stirred
'Anhui province, of which he is mill
tafy governor, and Clicking province,
adjoining, to active rebellion. Shan
tung, HoHan, Fengtien, Fukien and
Hupeh provinces were reported to be
in arms, but not formally to have
joined the movement. All these are
northern and eastern provinces where
Manchu sentiment has fourished. The
southern provinces are said to be

Washington. June IA civilian
commission composed of Abraham

Strauss of New York will inspect the
naval hospital ship Solace and the
n4vy's method OF treating sick sailors.
Already Admiral Mayo is conduct
ing an investigation Of charges Of
Ipistreatment contained in a round
robin signed by several enlisted men
who were patients on the Solace.
The civilian commission conferred
with Secretary Daniels today before
going to inspect the naval hospitals
i'll the vicinity of the fleet rendezvous.
They were told by the secretary
that charges OF improper treatment
OF the ma were being used to TO-
ment a spirit OF unpatriotic resistance
TO the registration law and that an
immediate report was necessary.

ernor general declared that his entire
policy had been guided by this idea
and that he had labored secretly but
steadily to build up connections" to
support this program. He added that
if these secret connections were main
tanned he hoped the time would come
when Germany would be compen-
sated through Belgium for its great
sacrifice in the war.
Won Bissing continued by saying
that his policy toward the Flem:.Ss
and the Belgian church was inspired
and guided by this thought. Perhaps
Cardinal Mercier will be surprised to
read that the general conducted his
church policy with wise modera-
tion," and also his opinion that Il
should perhaps have had an easier
time along kulturkaempf lines (refer-
ring to Bismarck's kulturkaempf or
war with the Roman Catholic
church), but we need the church
when once we wish to bring German
methods and German labors into
effect in Belgium" z
In conclusion Won Bissing spoke Of
the confidence the emperor showed IN
him and remarks that his policy in
Belgium had always been conducted
"in accordance with his majcsty's di.
rections and wishes"

IN MURDER CASE
Jury First Finds Unequal
Amounts Against Defend
ants, but is Sent Back
by the Judge. +

Mrs. Marguerite Rapp, widow of
William Rapp, one OF the victims Of
the sensational Rapp-Sehroeder MUIR
der three years ago, was awarded $6,-
600 judgment for her husbands death
by a jury in district court.
She sued Peter Moscrey, formerly
saloon keeper at 1902 South Twen-
itieth street, and his bondsmen for
$25,00O on behalf Of herself and her
four young daughters, alleging that
liquor procured in Moscrey's place
on the night Of the murder, July IA,
1914, caused her husband and Fred
and Peter Schroeder to "loiter and
delay on their way home and to be-
come boisterous, noisy, careless, reck-
lessf and quarrelsome."
The Schroeder brothers and Rapp
were shot down in the street near
Twenty fourth and Pacific streets be-
tween 10 and II o'clock at night.
Evidence Of Fourth Man.
Throughout the suit brought by
Mrs. Rapp against the saloon keeper
and his bondsmen Moscrey's .attor-
neys introduced evidence purporting
to show that the men were slain by
fourth person, who shot from am
bush.
A. S. Ritchie, chief counsel for the
defendants, in his closing argument
to the jury insisted that the triple
killing was the work OF a professional
gunman never brought to justice.

jury returned verdict of $4,000
against the bondsmen and $4,000
against the saloon keeper.
Judge Sears sent the venircmen
back to the jury room, instructing
them to return/a verdict of equal
amounts against both defendants.
Rumors that witnesses who would
throw new light on the murder which
shocked Omaha three years ago were
to be produced resulted i'll the court
room being crowded throughout the
hearing, which lasted several days.
