Calls Wilson Autocrat.
by John Grandens, United Press

[By John Grandens, United Press
Staff Correspondent
BERLIN, (yia London) Sept. L.
Demand that the American people
secure constitutional guarantees so
that in the future their president
will be unable to rule as an auto
cratic dictator" was voiced in the
Lokal Anzeiger today. The news
paper asserted this was in reality
the insistent request voiced both by
Pope Benedict and the reichstag.
The Lokal Anzeiger's editorial was
impelIed by receipt of dispatches
from America quoting the state de-
partment as declaring the United
States would not necessarily require
destruction of the HohenZollern dyn-
asty as a prerequisite of peace.
Several German newspapers today
commented at length on dispatches
from PetrOgrad recently printed in
allied newspapers revealing secret
correspondence exchanged between
Car Nicholas and Kaiser Wilhelm
in 1904 and later.
The NOSSische Zeitung admitted
the authenticity of this correspon-
dence today and declared the kaiser's
stand therein was justified owing to
British intrigues.
The kaiser's purpose" the edi-
torial asserted, was merely to frus-
| trate these and he acted only after
/ consultation with the chancellor and
/ the foreign minister"
/ The Lokal Anzeiger asserted the
/ correspondence merely gave evidence
of the kaiser's endeavOrs to circum-
vent England's hostile plans. A
! Russo-German treaty proposed in the
letters and kilograms, it was de-
clared, would have insured peace.
THE correspondence referred to,
is being printed by the New York
Herald in series of copyrighted
dispatches from Herman Bernstein.
formerly editor of the New York
Jewish newspaper The Day, and now
in Russia. 1t was stated by Bern.
stein that the correspondence was
obtained from the Russian secret
} archives. It included a long list n,

UNION SERVICE
HELD SUNDAY
Rev. ]. H. Richards Preach
es Sermon on Supremacy
of Christianity.

Rev. j. H. Richard, in the course Of
his sermon at the union service last
night at the Presbyterian church on
the theme: 1.-The Crucifed Christ" re-
ferring to the supremacy of the Chris
tian Religion over all others said in
part: HE who reads history riotously
and specifically may easily lose his
faith In Christianity rs he views the
mighty struggle waged across the sea.
But he who studies history cannot fail
to see that the cause Of this awful
cataclysm is due not to the failure
of Christianity but to the failure Of
those nations responsible for original
ing this war to apply the principles OF
Jesus to the problems Of modern civ
i~lization." Defending the proposition
that the world or at least that men
and women<in it are getting better, the
speaker referred to the comprehens-
iveness Of christian charity, the efforts
made to remove suffering, to right
the wrongs of the oppressed and the
merciless judgment at the bar Of pub
lie opinion upon private and public
immortality.

FRENCH SENATOR
LEARNS TRADE
In WAR PRISON
Important Brick Manufac-
turer Taught Tailoring in
German Prison.

Paris, July 2.-Auguste Potie, an
important brick manufacturer, senat-
or from the department Of the Nord
and Mayor Of Haubourdin, has just
made his first appearance in the SEN
ate since the spring Of 1914 and an
in the meantime learned the trade Of
tailor in a German prison. =
Senator Potie was sent to prison in
July, 1915, for having reminded the
commanding officer Of the occupying
forces, who happened to be a Greek
officer in the service Of Germany, that
article SO Of the Hague convention
was contrary to the forced employ
ment Of the inhabitants in invaded
districts on work of a military nature
| for the benefit Of the invaders.
Haubourdin Is only three miles
from the battlefront and the inhabi-
tants were called upon for all sorts
of service, burdened with excessive re-
QUESTIONS and loaded with fines and
vexations Of all sorts.
Ten young girls in the Saint Angus
tin orphan asylum at Haubourdin had
been ordered by the Germans to make
burlap sacks. When they learned
that the sacks were. to be filed with
sand and used as ramparts against
the French they refused to work. M
Cordonnier, director of the fax mill
from which was requisitioned the ma
terial to make the sacks, was held re-
sponsible for the strike, and on his re-
fusal to undertake the manufacture OF
the sacks was fined 1000 francs and
held as hostage until the work should
be resumed.
Captain Argyropoulos, the Greek
officer in command, then summoned
Monsieur Potie to furnish the sacks
He refused. The German command

severe measures were taken agatns
the entire population. Subsequently
M. Potie and M. Cordonnier were botl
fined 500 francs by General Krug vor
Nida, commanding the oath division
at Lambersart. A few days latter
after he had posted a letter invoking
the Hague treaty. Senator Potie wa
arrested. Both he and M. Gordon
nier were condemned without having
appeared before any tribunal to pa,
fines of 5000 francs and to serve on
year in prison, the terms of prison t
be increased eleven months in defaul
Of payment Of the fines. Confined a
Loos, then at Aix-la-Chapelle an
Cologne, they were finally taken t
: the prison Of Siegburg. Their head
were shaved; they were clothed 1
to learning the tailoring trade.
Both were released in Septembe,
: 1915, informed that their penaltie
! had been reduced to six weeks. Las
