ATTACK PLANNED LONG AGO
Brochure by German Army Officer
Explains Plans Of Attack Against
United States.

Paris.--A plan OF invasion Oh the
United States and its subsection by
German arms is found in brochure
by Baron Franz Won Edelsheim, cap
tain OF the Second Regiment of Uhlan
Of the Guard, extracts Of which have
been published.
The brochure Is not the fantastic
dream Of Pan-Germanist; 1t has
been recommended for reading in the
most authoritative circles Of German
kultur. 1t is edited by the propaganda
committee OF military and naval cir
cles of Germany, and was published
in Berlin in 1901.
Baron Won Edelsheim declares with
simplicity that the comm ercial expan
sion of the United States is beginning
to irritate Germany considerably and
that it is only by force of arms that
that situation can be ended He does
not hide the statement that Germany
can mobilize her strength with extra
ordinary rapidity, and, possessing
large feet of transports, is the only
power in the world capable Of men.
acing the United States.
In this plan of campaign, which is
quite special one, the author re-
moves at the outset the American ma
rine, which, having an extended coast
to defend, would certainly not dare, in
his opinion, to risk fight In the open
sea. and would seek refuge in various
ports.
AS to the army, Baron Won Edel-
Bheim says it would not embrace more
than 10O,O men, and would be cas-
fly put to rout by simultaneous Ger
man attacks at different points locat-
ed at great distance from one an
other and by propaganda well organ
lied in the interior. The United States
would not be able, the author says, to
concentrate sufficient forces at any
Mace to resist invasion.
America would be forced to submit
to the German conditions Of peace, the
CAPTAIN declares, "for, having in our
mower a number of American ports, we
etrangle the centers from which con-
verge all the arteries Of American
life. We would destroy all public
buildings, banks and business houses,
cut off all supplies from the civil pop
ulation, levy enormous contributions
and crush everybody with penalties"

GERMANY MAY MODIFY EDlCT
Three European Neutrals Are Nego'
tlatIng With Berlin to Modify
Warfare.

Washington. European neu-
trail governments, which have refused
to join the United States in severtng
diplomatic relations with Germany,
are exerting their fullest pressure on
Berlin to modify or curtail the sub
marine decree that has brought Ger
many and the United States to the
verge of war.
The representations being made by
three nations-Sweden, Spain and
Switzerland--are actively continuing,
and it is not improbable that some
result of them will be known to this
government soon.
The knowledge that the three gov
ernments are attempting to convince
Germany of the unreasonableness OF
her course Is believed to have com
manded more attention at the late
cabinet meeting than any other phase
Of the quarrel with Germany.
