BURDEN ON U. S;
America Must Lick Germany,
Baron de Orgler Asserts.
Death of Last AutOcrat Will
Bring Lasting Peace.

Peace will not come until the last
German aristocrat is killed and Amer
lea must kill him. That was the claim
made this noon before the Chamber
of Commerce by Baron DIR. de Orgler,
former Austrian soldier and diplomat.
With all the hatred of stricken
soldier. a deceived diplomat and a re-
formed democrat" Baron de Orgler
launched on bitter flaying of the
kaiser and his men.
Five million German soldiers will
soon be ready for the field. They will
be fresh soldiers, soldiers new from
the training camps and unscathed by
bitter war" he said. THE United
States will have to fight these and
hundreds of thousands more. Eng
land will step from the active field
he said, land leave america, the god
of democracy. to fight the world
war"
The Baron de Orgler was for eleven
years in the Austrian diplomatic SER
vice. He was later an assistant cap
tain in the army, fighting against tn :
Italians and allied with Germany.
He Hates Germany.
1T is because I hate the kaiser and
because 1 hate autocracy with my
whole heart that 1 have thrown off
my titles and insignia and have come
to America to awake the country to
the atrocities being committed by the
German peoples. 1t is the burning
hatred of a subject that 1 denounce
Germany as a heartless, iron-handed
monster. 1t is my dream to see
America STAY the Germans and to see
them over the top until the last Ger
man shouts 'kamerad'' and is shot"
Baron de Orgler is now touring the
country on the lecture platform pop
ularizing the war. His stay in Topeka
will be brief. Tonight he will talk at
the Orpheum theater at and
o'clock. He will lecture at the Grace
Cathedral at o'clock. His lecture
will be illustrated by five hundred
feet of war films, taken on the battle
fields of Europe. The pictures, he
says. are among the first war pictures
to be shown in this country.

PIERSOL LOSES PLEA
Court Refuses Him New Trial
Pleaded Illegal Verdict

Marshfield, Mo-, Nov. 5.-PiersoI
new trial motion overruled.
The first move by attorneys for
Piersol when Judge Skinker took up
the motion for a new trial was the fill
ing of a motion asking leave to amend
the original motion.
The ground set up was the allega-
ton that the jury arrived at its YER
dict illegally. The proposed amend
ment stated that the jury agreed as to
the number of years Piersol should
serve in the prison finally arriving at a
verdict by adding the number of years
favored by the jurors individually and
dividing the total by twelve. The mo-
ton to amend was overruled
Judge Skinker ruled that under the
statutes it was too late to amend the
motion. He said that if there had
been intimation of jury tampering he
would have been inclined to give leave
to amend, but that this factor did not
enter into il. He said he could see no
misconduct on the part of jury ar
irving at a verdict in a manner as de-
Scribed by the defense

by a miracle we are unhurt. The

hours with the French fleet which
opened fire without warning. We
took refuge in the cellars.
There was lively street fighting to-

There is great anxiety as to the de-
mands which the entente will make
but we are prepared for anything.
Please tell US when the army of Mac

take the offensive definitely"

you and Tino have passed. 1 admire
your courage at this difficult time.

The entente once more has shown
its hand and nothing remains for Tino
to do but to take open action against
the brutes. The intervention of Tino
with his forces cooperating against

about a decision in Macedonia and the
