KAISER AIMS AT
WORLD EMPIRE

"World Must be Made Safe for De.

Washington Dispatch.
Germany's next peace declaration

ton revealing for the first time the
full scope Of the imperial govern
ment's aspirationb for conquest in

The information discloses as one
Of the primary aims of the war a
plan for consolidation of an impreg-
nable military and economic unit
stretching from the North sea to the
Mediterranean, cutting Europe per-
manently in half, controlling the
Dardanelles, the Aegean and Baltic,
and eventually forming the backbone
Of a Prussian world empire. In the
light of German history the plan
shows how implicitly the Kaiser has
followed out the blood and iron po>
lictico-economic methods of Bis
marck for development of Prussian
power. Considered in view of the
present war map, it shows that the
major portion of the Kaiser's war
program has been achieved, regard
less Of what disposition is made of
conquered territory in France, Bel
GUM and Russia.
A full realization of this situation
adds new force to the repeated
declarations Of allied statesmen that

ture truce only would give Germany
| a resting period in which to further
| Prussianize and prepare for great
er world war the territory to the
southeast which she has conquered
, under the guise of a friendly alli-
ance.
Although officials have refrained
from definite public expressions of
what the United States might de-
mand as a peace guarantee, these
possibilities recall with recurring en-
/ phasis President Wilson's declaration
