Pan-German Ambition
Spreads to Holland

COPENHAGEN, Oct 24.-The view
of Admiral Won Tirpitz, former Ger
man minister of marine, that the seiz-
ure of Belgium was the stepping stone
in extending control over Holland was
proclaimed by Herr Bacmeister, the
National Liberal leader in the Reich
stag and one of the Pan-German stall
warts in speech delivered Sunday at
Hamburg. Quoting Won Tirpitz, Herr
Bacmeister said:
t'If We control the Belgian coast then
the Netherlands will enter into our
concern. If England-American retain
the coast in their hands the Hollanders
will enter into their concern
1t will be recalled that the late Gen
eral Won Bissing, governor-general in
Belgium, in his memorandum on Bel
GUM also intimated the necessity of
extending German sway over parts of
Holland in preparation for Germany S
next war.
Herr Bacmeister said DR.. Won Beth
mann-Hollweg, the former imperial
German chancellor, was responsible
for the convocation Of the Austrian
parliament, having advised the young
emperor to take this step, which was
the cause of the spread of the peace
sentiment in Austria.

Smashing against the German lines
along a six-mile front northeast Of
Scissors, the French have made i'm
portant gains from the German crown
prince. The sudden blow also brought
the French more than $500 prisoners
and 25 heavy and field guns.
General Fetain completed an effec-
tive step toward Laon the southern
extremity of the Hindenburg lines and
an important railroad center, which
lies ten miles northeast of Chavignon,
where the French advance attained its
greatest depth-two and one-fifth
miles.
The heights dominating PargnyFi-
lain, at the extreme right, were seized
and French guns now, can batter the
Germans on the hills on the opposite
side of the Ailette river from Chavig-
non.
More important still they can pour
an enfilade fire into the forces of the
German crown prince still clinging to
the northern slopes of the plateau
paralleling the Chemin Des Danes.
To the German crown prince the
blow may prove the most severe he
has suffered since Verdun. He has
lost several divisions of his best
troops including Prussian guards, who
were rushed forward to hold the line
at all costs.

men went out after the remaining
thousands which will put Wayne coun-
ty way over its quota with every
prospect of exceeding the allotment.
They had trench lunch" at the
Commercial club before they started.
Every committeeman-and all but two
were there-paid for his own lunch.
Huge parcels of enthusiasm were
uncorked at this meeting. Charles W.
Jordan presided and made a rousing
speech Others who "whooped 'er up
were John NJ Lontz. s. E. Swayne and
George Gates, county chairman.
Quota is Less.
All the speakers were sure the
quota of 81, 100000 would be exceeded
tremendously Gates explained that
an error in computing Wayne county's
quota had placed it too high. Revised
figures show it to be S1,400,00 he
said.
Unofficial estimates of the amount
subscribed before the campaign com
menced ranged as high as s1,600,00o.
Estimates of the proba BILE subscription
are as high as $2,00o,o00.
Several large subscriptions were an
nounced at the lunch. Among theme
were:
Bockhoff is Largest.

the Natco whose subscription is the
| largest individual one to date $4,000
John Evans $50, 600

The committees. which canvassed
| the city's business section, were arm
ed with names of hundreds OF potent

each of these men and women and
give them an opportunity to support
the big loan.
Blowing of factory whistles and
1 ringing of church bells accompanied
the opening of the drive.

Political affairs in Germany are

probable that the emperor will be

point another Prussian bureaucrat in
Michaelis' place is not yet clear.
