the national army and they will be
assembled and trained as separate
organizations.
"The call for the colored men to

GERARD SHOWS
THE REAL KAISER
"BLACK BAG SECRETS" OF BER-
LIN PLOTS AGAINST UNITED
STATES EXPOSE PLANS.

my Four Years in Germany" is
the title of series of articles by for
mer Ambassador to Germany James
w. Gerard, which will begin to ap-
pearing in the Atlanta Georgian and
American on Sunday, September, Is.
Mr.. Gerard takes the reader from
the very beginning and carries him
through maze OF secret intriguing
plotting and counter-plotting, ambi-
ton and PREACHERS, which will amaze
the civilized world, and which forced
the United States into the war. He
not only tells exactly what the Kaiser
said, but he reveals the secrets of his
now famous "Black Bag" in a man.
ner to fascinate the reader, and while
holding his interest informs and in
structs him of the cause and effect
of diplomacy as it is practiced by
Germany
Mr. Gerard had personal interviews
with the Kaiser and many of the
Prussian chiefs, which gave him ex-
ceptional advantages TO know and I'M
derstand the plans of the German
Z rulers and came into possession of
much information never intended for
him.
81 found the Emperor seated at a
green iron table under large canvas
garden umbrella" writes Mr.. Gerald
in relating his experience when the
Kaiser wrote the reply to President
Wilson which sounded the fate of
Belgium and sounded the death knell
of millions of innocent men.
The damning indictment of its i'm
perial author was never made pub
lic-it was too inflammatory for the
neutral mind-until Mr. Gerard de-
cided to publish it, with the consent
of President Wilson.
The serious of articles constitute
more than $4,000 words, and the or
iginal manuscript was purchased at
cost of 100000 No work of fiction
contains more fascinating reading,
and it is doubtful if anything will
do more TO solidify the movement to
destroy German aggression than
these articles by Mr. Gerard
Schemes, plots and treachery in
high places-intrigues that were
nevers intended to reach the outside
world-are written of by Mr.. Gerard
most convincingly and reveal plans
which, if successful, would have re-
suited in world dominance by Ger
many. The spotlight of publicity is
thrown on many heretofore dark
pages of the worlds political history
The Gerard articles will start in
The Atlanta American next Sunday
and continue daily for about seven
weeks.
