HE'LL TELL WORLD
Kaiser May Answer e. S. With
Proclamation Soon.
Wilson's Address of Freedom Is
Photographed to Front.

Berlin, April Late during the
night from Tuesday to Wednesday the
telegraph wire connecting the foreign
office directly with great army head
quarters, somewhere at the front"
began to buzz.
1t buzzed on until dawn. What
happened at the "other end is not
known.
What is known is that in those
hours the foreign office dispatched to
headquarters the address of President
Wilson in congress, summoning Amer
lea to war against the PruSSian au-
tocracy, war for the freedom of all
peoples including the German.
The foreign secretary, DR.. Alfred
Zimmerman, was among those lat the
other end" For at army headquar-
tiers there had just begun. toward the
latter part of last week, momentous
conference between the two kaisers
and the political and military leaders
of the German empire and the dual
monarchy. Hindenburg and Luden-
dorff are among those present.
Whether and when the government
will take official notice of President
Wilson's address and of the subse-
quent action of both houses of the
American congress is problematical.
It is generally believed that a reply
by the government, if one is to be
given, will not come until the delibera-
tiOns now under way have come TO a
definite end.
In some quarters the belief was eX-
pressed that Emperor William will
shortly issue a proclamation to his
people and, indirectly, TO the world at
large, which will be the nature of a
reply to the action of the United
States and TO the address of its presi-
dent.
Meanwhile the government general
views have been set down by the Of
fetal organ, the Nord Deutsche ALL
gemeine Zeitung, in an editorial article
taking sharp issue with President Will
sons differentiation between the Ger
man people and their government.
The journal attacks the American eX-
ecutive for representing himself as
the bearer of true freedom to our
people who are engaged in severe
struggle for their existence and lib
ertv'' and rejects the suggestion of free
dom being ''meted out to them from
V-thout."

WORLD POWER IN LEAP
Lloyd George Sends String Message
to America Today.

London, April 7.-Stating that he
spoke at the instance of the imperial
war cabinet, Premier Lloyd George
this afternoon sent a stirring message
to America recognizing her entrance
into the war.
The British prime minister gave out
the copy of his message to assembled
newspaper men. 1t read:
America has in one bound become
a world power in a sense never be-
fore. America waited until she found
cause worthy of her traditions.
The American people held back
until they were fully convinced the
fight was not a sordid scrimmage for
power and possessions. but an I'M
selfish struggle to overthrow sinist> ::
conspiracy against human liberty and
human rights.
Once that conviction was reached,
the great republic of the west has
leaped into the arena and stands now
side by side with the European DEM
ocracies, who, bruised and bleeding
after three years of grim conflict are
still fighting the most savage foe that
ever menaced the freedom of the
world.
The glowing phrases of the pres
ident's noble deliverance will illumine
the horizon and make clearer than
ever the goal we are striving to reach.
There are two phrases which will
stand out forever in the story of this
crusade-first, that the world must be
saved for democracy'-next that the
menace to peace and freedom lies in
the existence of autocratic govern
ments backed by organized force and
controlled wholly by their will and
not by the will of their people.
These words represent the faith
which inspires and sustains our peo-
pie in the tremendous sacrifices they
have made and are still making.
They also believe the unity of
peace maintained can only rest upon
democracy upon the rights of those
who submit to authority to have a
voice in our government; upon the re-
spect for the rights and liberties of
nations both great and small and upon
universal dominion of the public right.
ITO all these the Prussian military
autocracy is an impla foe.
1.-The imperial war cabinet, repre-
senting all the peoples and all the ma
lions of the British empire wish me
in their behalf to recognize the chiv-
airy and courage which calls the peo-
pie of the United States to dedicate
the whole of their resources and SER
vices to the GREATEST cause that ever
engaged human endeavor.

rying $35O,0OO in Food.

New York, April IA cablegram
received here by the Belgian relief
committee today stated the commits
sion's steamship Anna Fosten, which
left New York March 3, via Halifax,
with a s35O,00O cargo of foodstuffs
for Rotterdam, had been sunk. The
message read:
"Trevier and Anna Foster sunk off
Holland
The loss of the Trevier, a Belgium
relief ship, torpedoed without warning
and of the Feistein, also a relief ship,
presumably by a mine, was announced
several days ago. In view of the
coupling of the names of the Trevier
and the Anna Fasten in the last mes
sage, the commission has cabled Lon
don for further information. The pos
sibility was suggested by the commits
sion that the message alluded to the
Feistein. owing tc the similarity of
names. The Anna Fosten's crew num-
bering fifty men, included no Ameri-
cans She flew the Norwegian flag.

new CHANCE OPEN
Kansas Company of Engineers
Forms in Topeka.
Recruiting by Capt. A. l.. Nc
Lane From Over State.

Capt. A. L. McLane, of the Second
Kansas Infantry, is in Topeka today
launching plans for the organization of
a company of engineers which will be
recruited from all parts of the state
with headquarters in Topeka, and from
the encoura cement he has already met
with it seems certain that a company
of full war strength will soon be
ready to be mustered into the service.
Civil electrical and mechanical en-
gineerS, instrument men, craftsmen
bridge carpenters, machinists, pipe
filters, gas engine men and truck
drivers are wanted for officers, and
non-commissioned officers also are
wanted. A blacksmith, a horse sheer
two cooks, nineteen first class privates
and fifty-nine privates also are needed
Captain McLane says there is no
doubt that Kansas will furnish her
full quota of men as soon after the
call comes as any other state and he
is anxious to get the engineering
company ready to answer the first
call. The company will be organized
here and just as soon as the required
100 men are procured it will be ready
to be mustered in. Thirty>men already
have been recruited. Men who have
had previous military experience are
desired, but for privates this is not es.
sential.
The engineering branch of the army
service is one of the most attractive
to many young men because of the
experience it gives them and for this
reason it is expected that a great many
Topeka youths who intend to take up
work along engineering lines. later in
life will avail themselves of the ex-
ceilent opportunity presented to get
practical experience and thoro train
ing.
All who desire to enlist in the en-
cheering company are requested to
report at the armory, 112 East Sew

NAB LIVE ONE ON BORDER.
Mexican Had Cash Believed Collected
From Germans to Aid Carranza.

Ell Paso, Tex, April IA Mexican
named DR.. Donciano Lopez who holds
a commission as a colonel in the Car
rama army was arrested late tonight
in a hotel by the police charged with
being a German spy. He is being
held for the federal agents who are
conducting a rigid investigation.
The police found in his room s1O,-
600 in certified bank drafts on the
bank of Nogales; a sack containing
1857 in Mexican gold; one containing
$500 in American gold; another
containing S7S7 in American gold and
some small change.

unfriendly acts and discovering those
engaged in them before they can ac-
complish their purpose"
Twelve different rumorS were in
vestigated Friday and half a dozen are
being investigated today. Most of them
will not stand the light of investiga-
ton. They are traced to their source
and usually the source is some ire
sponsible person who merely wants
to create a sensation among his hear
ers.
o. T. Wood, United States marshal,
has sent out a letter to all sheriffs
in the state asking them to cooperate
with him in uncovering unfriendly or
hostile acts in Kansas.
First, the instructions read, have
your deputies alert and vigilant by
observation and inquiry to discover
facts of any hostile persons or plots.
and to enlist the aid of the people
of your vicinity to the same end.
Second, to report promptly all facts
and circumstances connected with
such hostile persons or plots.
1t is said that there are government
secret service men in Topeka watch
ing certain persons. This is not denied
by federal officials here, but they say
if it is true they do not know it.

The commander declared there was

PACIFIST in PLOT
Wealthy ChicagOan Charged
With Starting Revolt in India.
Believe German Attache, Won
Igel, Back of Conspiracy.

Chicago April 7.-Gustav Jacobsen,
wealthy Chicago realty man, is to be
arraigned today before the United
States commissioner on a charge of
having conspired to start a revolution
against British rule in India. Jacobsen
was one of the pacifists who went to
congress. He was formerly a director
i'll the American embargo conference.
Arrested last night, he was Immediate
ly released on $4,000 bail, supplied
by William Boldenweck, formerly
United States subtreasurer here and
Max Teich, owner of the Kaiserhof
hotel.
ccording to Hinton G. Clabaugh,
special agent of the department of
justice here, the complaint alleges that
Jacobsen in May. 1915, with Albert
Wehde. H. L. Gupta, Jedi Singh,
Dhirendra Nath Sen and man known
as Sterneck conspired to start a re-
volt in India thus violating America
neutrality laws. 1t is charged that in
June, 1915, the alleged conspirators
sent George Paul Boehm and Singh to
India in furtherance of the plot.
Agent Sent to Calcutta Jailed.
1t was reported that other arrests
had been made in connection with
this case. All Clabaugh would say
was prisoners held incommunicado in
this or other cases are known only to
myself and few trusted agents"
When arrested, Jacobsen refused to
make a statement. Boehm was re-
Gently apprehended in Calcutta. 1t
was rumored that the alleged con-
spiracy was connected with the charge
that Wolf Won Tgel. a member of Count
Won Bernstorff's staff furnished $780,
900 to start a revolt in India. Cla-
baugh would not confirm this.
