Conquest Of America Part Of German
War Plan, Asserts Gerard.
Hamilton, Mont. Aug. 29.-Germany
planned the conquest OF the United
states as soon as she had defeated
England and France, James w. Gerard,
former ambassador to Germany. de-
clared in statement here yesterday
Mr.. Gerard spent the day on the Daily
ranch near here, resting after his
speaking tour across the continent.
His statement Is based on his OBJ
servations In Germany and his, close
study of the government.
g Mr. Gerardis statement follows:
Il am absolutely convinced from
statements Of the kaiser and Of Won
Tirpitz, who forced his lawless policy
upon Germany; from the tone Of that
section OF the German press which
represents the ruling classes, and from
the general jealousy and hatred OF
America, and Of successful democ-
racy, that after defeating France and
England, Germany would have en-
deayored to conquer the world.

frst attempts In South America,

mans are given money for military
training. German instructors have

Washington, Aug. 2s.-President
Wilson's rejection Of the pope's peace
proposal was regarded here today as
finally settling the question Of dealing
with the German rulers unconquered
or uncurbed at home.
The president makes it clear that a
lasting and durable peace can be nego-
tiated only by a complete understand
ing with the German people and not
by stable guarantees Of the ex-
isting government.

curately the attitude Of the allied gov
ernments.
Upon motion Of Senator Brady. who
characterized it as q last farewell to

Wilson's reply to the pope's peace pro-

> Peking, Aug. 2s.-China has been
left in state Of uncertainty and sus-
pense by General Chang Hsun's, abor-
tive attempt to, ,restore the monarchy.
The singe advantageous result Of the
struggle Is the elimination OF Chang
Hsun. He had been a menace to the
Chinese republic for q great many
years. His great wealth and military
strength enabled him to control the
railroad between Marking and Tien
Tsin and made him = leader 10 b
reckoned with. in all political noye-
ments. ,,s gy,sS n,
CHINA suffered many sstsacks a in
achieving the elimination Of Chan4
Hsun. He was undoubtedly ri tricksd
and betrayed by military aEovefnors
who had promised to support him.
Bogus telegrams and letters were used
to induce him to restore the boy EN-
peror, and thus brought about his own
downfall.
But Yuan Shi Jul and other military
leaders who worked for Chang Hses~ia
end have practically all been known as
monarchical supporters. They are
under suspicion In their efforts to re-
store the republic and IN their pro-
testations that they are genuine repub-
licAns.
Vice President Feng Kuo Chang.
now president. always has been re-
garded a. imonarchical supporter. He
does not enjoy the confidence Of WI
Ting Fang and ether prominent repub-
Hcans whose honesty can not be
doubted. Consequently his assumpti tion
Of the presidency could not necessar-
lily assure the reconciliation or the
discordant elements in south China.
