Sierra County advocate., 1917-08-17

Copenhagen, Aug. III. Lleuten-
ant General Won Freytag. Loring-
hoven, chief of the supplementary
general staff Of the German army,
In an article printed in a German
newspaper, admits tie falsity OF
the Ger man pSetension that the
violation of Belgian neutrility in
tie campaign of August, 1914. was
due to military and defensive
necessity provoked by alleg
ed preparations of the French
TO invade Germany through Bel
GUM. General Won Freytag-Lor-
inghoven writes that, that on the
contrary, the French originally
started to concentrate their armies
along their own eastern frontier
and made belated change in their
plans only after the Geman often
slve was eet in motion through
Belgium, and the Germans profit
ted greatly from the resulting con-
fusion and delay.
Stories Of French troops march
ing through Belgium during the
6rs, days of the war and of air
plane and automobile attacks from
Belgian territory and other fairy
tales which figured so largely in
Germany, ere not mentioned.
The article describes the disas-
trous effect OF the sweep of that
unexpected German flood upon
successive French armies and the
advance to the Marne. General
Won Freytag- Larinboven declares
that the Germans retreated from
the Marie because they were too
weak to break through the French
line, hut he argues that although
final success was missed there. Ger
many. by seizlng the opportunity
of daring advance through Bel
GUM, avoided war on her own ter
ritory.
The newspaper says the arr
ticle Of General Won Freytag-
Loringhoveu, who is Germany'e
leading military historian and
writes on the basis of the official
general staff records, is circulated
semi-officiallyin the German press.

A good plan whereby this may be

ed. After the cover is placed, roofing

winds.
If these plans are carefully followed
the flow of honey will be materially
increased next season.

COMP ANTON OF
DROWNED man
IS HELD here
Police Detain New Yorker
Whose Acquaintance Was
Taken From Harbor.

Pending an investigation to de-
stermine whether or not Thomas Nc
Govehn of $40 Third avenue, New
York. met death by drowning as a
result of foul play or accident,
Thomas O'Beirne, who came here
yesterday with McGovenn, is being
held without bail for the ocoroner's
hearing.
Except for the statements of
O'Beirne, the police are mystihed as
to the manner in which McGovern
came to plunge from the dock at the
foot Of Wall street into the harbor
late last night and drown. MCCOY
ern and O'Beirne have been fast
friends for many years Last night
after their arrival in the city they
had a few drinks in a saloon.
OBeirne states that both were af-
fected by the heat and walked down
the dock intending to lounge there.
He asserts that when near the end
of the, dock McGovern tripped on a
rope or similar object and fell fore
most into the water.
Unable to swim, McGovern cried
loudly for help and O'Beirne states he
ran for a policeman. Captain Hans
Manhauser, employed by the Man
ufacturers' Boat Line. and Thomas
Lavery, the drawtender at Stratford
avenue bridge, both heard the cries
for help but were unable to find from
whence they emanated.
Policeman ]. o. Burns was stopped
by O'Beirne in Water street. The
latter's cheeks were blanched and he
asked the policeman to rescue his
friend who had Fallen into the
water The policeman went to the
scene but the waters of the harbor
had closed over McGovern. David
Goldstein, "a Wallace street, was no
titled by the police of the affair and
he started graphing for the body.
This morning about o'clock the
hooks caught in = the dead mans
clothing and he was brought to the
surface. The body was then remov-
ed to the rnorgue, awaiting word
from relatives. McGovern had two
Ebrothers, Peter and Michael McGov-
ern, living in Philadelphia. The po-
lice believe McGovern was aceidently
| drowned, but decided to hold his
friend O'Beirne.
