GUILT Of THE WAR
EPLACEDONKA KAISER.
French Aviators Dropping
Into Germany Bavarian's
T Appeal to Compatriots.
PRUSSIA IS ARRAIGNED

Correspondence Of the Associated Press.
PARIS, June 10.-French aviators
are dropping behind the German lines
and upon German cities and towns
thousands Of copies of an appeal writ
ten by a Bavarian urging his compa-
triots to protest against Prussian tyr
amy and autocracy.
The document was found recently
on a Bavarian prisoner of war cap
tured by the French. In it the writer
places upon Emperor William the
guilt of the war and expresses other
sentiments against Prussian militar-
ism well known to exist in Bavaria,
despite frequent official testimonials
Of alleged solidarity and unity be-
tween both the German states.
Distributed by Air Route.
As its circulation in Germany Is, Of
course. prohibited. the French authori-
tiles undertook its distribution by air
route Some copies accidentally have
fallen on the French lines. The doc
ument reads:
''Bavarians, Compatriots: The fright
full misery which, because OF the war
has spread also to Bavaria. and which
Is leading our Bavarian people to al
most certain ruin, imposes upon us
the sacred duty of thinking of the
welfare of our country and our conn
patriot.
'Who is 1t that has led US to this
abyss of perdition? Let us be frank!
It is not presumptuous enemies. 1t Is
not the English and the French!
Neither is 1t the other countries that
we call the entente!

ARGENTINE FL|ER
WINS ACHIEVEMENT
Aviator Crosses the Andes
Mountains in a Heavier
1han.Air Machine.
Of the A,,oc,ated Press.

Correspondence OF tne Abboclhteu FEeeb.
BUENOS Aires. June 1.-After many
fruitless attempts, the Argentine mil
itary flying corps has achieved its
one great ambition-the crossing OF
the Andes mountains in heavier
than-air machine. Although the An
des had been crossed by balloons, no
one ever had been able to get over
tried, and George Newberry, the son
Of an American, lost his life In the
attempt some years ago.
The successful flight has just been
made by Lieut.. Luis c. Candelaria, of
the Argentine army, in a machine OF
eighty horsepower.
Because of the many failures and
the dangerous air currents, the war
department refused to permit any
more attempts to be made In the re-
gion near Mendoza and gave its con-
sent to Candelaria's fight only on
condition that it. be made on the
thirty-ninth parallel Of latitude.
Flight Made From Zapala.
The fight was made from Zapa1a
Argentina, to Cunco, Chile, straight
line distance of approximately liz
miles. The mountain ranges in this
region have an altitude Of 5000 me-
ters, and it is believed that the flight
was made at much higher altitude
to permit landing facilities in case
of accident. The crossing was made
in a part of the country which has
little telegraphic communication with
the outside world and the details Of
this record fight were not expected
until Lieut.. Candelaria returned to
Buenos Aires to make his report to
the war department.
Candelaria is one Of the most prom
Using of the Argentine aviators. He
completed his flying course in six
months.
Just before his successful fight.
Candelaria made several trial flights
for altitude to put his machine to a
severe test before trusting 1t to the
winds Of the Andes.

Mascot and Idol Of the Men.

He was unanimously adopted by the
regiment, fed to safety and made the
mascot and idol of the men. The time
came however, very recently, when
the artillerymen had to leave for
front service. To take the boy with
them was out of the question. He
had been given the nickname of
Pat" and they had grown SO at
tached to him that they felt some
thing must be done to assure his
future.
So the men raised 1000 francs. with
which Pat" is to be cared for in
home and given at least rudimen-
tary education. They have gone on
to the front, possibly never will see
the little town again: but the town
and Pat will not soon forget them.

CUB|ST DECORATIONS BY

Pizarre Fashion Adopted in Cele-

of the Associated Press.

Correspondence Of the Associated Press.
LONDON, June 10.-The bolsheviki
tave adopted the cubist style Of deco
ration for Russian cities in celebrat-
ing the revolutionary feast days. The
whole city Of Petrograd was deco
rated in this bizarre fashion for the
celebration Of May day. Thousands
Of cubist posters. draped with revolu-
tionary red bunting, ornamented the
walls Of palaces and government
buildings. Describing the scene. the
Petrograd correspondent Of the Morn
ing Post writes:
"Petrograd for May day was turned
into huge village fair. The ambi-
tious plans for hiding under red dra-
peries and hideous cubist canvases
all the visible symbols Of those things
that made the greatness Of once great
Russia were curtailed by shortage of
red material, by inability to compel
a sufficiency Of skilled labor, or by
the desire Of everybody concerned to
think first Of personal opportunities
and only secondarily Of public OBJ
jects.

generations, were neither hidden nor

the Winter Palace facade. Half a
dozen billboards erected about the

THE procession did itself credit in
several particulars. All the fighting
arms were largely represented, and
some of the sections. especially a GER
tain cavalry regiment and a detach-
ment of machine gunners, looked like
fighting material ready for work. The
sailors were such as have always been
in Petrograd. The infantrymen and
artillerymen, particularly the latter.
seemed to have undergone but little
training. All the fighting forces on
this occasion appeared with full
equipment and arms. Bands Of work.

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
FRANCE. June 10.-Though the
American troops have repeatedly
made themselves extremely popular
by their open-handed generosity to
the natives among whom. they hap
pen to be quartered, it has remained
for an artillery regiment to dis
tinguish itself especially in this re-
spect.
The unit was quartered for some
time in a little French town behind
the front, and on the first evening
found. almost dying from hunger. an
eight-year-ol boy whose mother
had been killed at Verdun. The boy
had wandered aimlessly about until

A[SACE-L0RRA|NE|S IS
HUNS PROBLEM
Many Schemes Discussed in
the Papers for Disposition
of Country.
of the Associated Press.

Correspondence Of the Associated Press.
FRENCH FRONT. June 10.-In near
1y every newspaper printed in Ger
presented some kind of scheme for
the solution Of the question Of AL
sace-Lorraine. What the Germans
cannot understand is the fact that vir-
tually every real A1satian and Lorrain
rejects in totality any scheme for
joining his native land either to the
German empire or any Of its COM
ponent federal states.
The latest method Of disposing of
the two provinces discussed in the
German imperial parliament proposes
their division between Prussia and
Bavaria, Lorraine to be taken by the
former and Alsace by the latter. This
proposition not only is rejected by the
Inhabitants of the provinces them
selves, but has aroused protests from
several Of the German states. and es-
pecially from Wuerttemberg. Conse-
quently for the time being it has been
allowed to drop in favor of two other
schemes. both unsatisfactory to some
Of the German parties.
Two SC0emSS Favored.
The first of them looks to the for
nation of an independent state Of Al
sace-Lorraine under the rule of q
duke. while the second formulates the
foundation of a republic Of Alsace-
Lorraine attached to the German en-
pire. Both of them have been widely
discussed, but without bringing about
any conclusion, and. should either Of
them be accepted by the Germans. it
is believed the people of the two
provinces would have nothing to do
with it.
AS the correspondent Of the Asso-
ciated Press has found in discussing
the matter with Alsatians and Lor-
rains Of all classes, the only desire
Of these people is to be reunited to
France, with which they have re-
NAMED, in spite of the German an
nexation. closely allied in all their
ideas and. in all their souls. They re-
call frequently in the course Of their
conversations the words uttered by
President Wilson:
'.The wrong caused by Prussia to
France in 1871 must be redressed in
order that peace may be established
in the interest OF ALL"

Nothing in Victory.

:And even II 1t were possible to be
victorious what can our country,
what may we Bavarians expect from
such victory? AS little as nothing.
"An the precious Bavarian blood, all
the mourning. the stirring. horrible
suffering of our compatrfots, of our
women and our children, all the lives
sacrificed and ruined and all the ma
terial losses-an Of that has gone for
nothing! All the sacrifices have been
without object, they haven't even been
for the defense of our country, for it
has not been menaced, but merely
have been for the conservation Of
Prussian power. In addition, as allies
Of Prussia, we have drawn upon US
the hated and disapprobation of the
entire world.
"Compatriots, the hour has come
when we must reflect whether we
wish to continue on to utter loss, or
whether we want to unite in an ef-
fort to save what may yet be saved.
Each work in his own circle, making
proselytes. attempting to spread light
round about"

But One Guilty Party.

'The guilty ones, one can say in all
conscience today. are solely and only
the Prussians, or, more precisely
there is but one guilty party-tne
King of Prussia. The official asser-
tion that our adversaries started the
war against US and menaced us-us
and our owns a falsehood.
'sNow the King of Prussia has the
right, in the name of Bavaria, to de-
clare war and make peace.
What the atrocious misery this
country suffers Signifies misery

absolutist political situation.is obliged
to go to war at longer or shorter Pc
RODS. II for nothing else than to sus-
tain the interests Of its dominating
clique. The history of Prussia is one
lengthy Interruptions. Are not the
Prussian country squires (hobereaux)
already talking, despite the terrible
misery, of the next war?
Not in Bavaria's Interests.
'.The present war, also, is not at all

solely a gamble for the power of the
Prussian state. its military and its
agrarians.
I'VE Bavarians are not in any way
in opposition to the interests of the
peoples whom we are fighting. On the
contrary, France, for example, has
notably favored our country and our
people during the course of history.
Among the governments that are our
opponents in this war not one has as
one of its war aims the extinction of
our country. But the war hinges en-
tirely, and with good right, against
Prussia, which. with the Russia of
other days. is the most corrupt state

BUY THRIFT STAMPS

The spirit OF Benjamin Franklin, We
feel sure, Is nightly pleased with the
United States campaign for the sale
Of thrift stamps. Our first great
apostle Of thrift as national habit
could not have devised a better
scheme.
The thrift stamp movement has also
appealed To Harry Lauder. He's a
Scotehmen and comes by such tenden-
eies naturally, but his 10 rules for
thrift are worth reading. He saws:
l. Behave toward your purse as you
would toward your best friend.
2 View the reckless money spender
AS a criminal ard shun his company.
3. Dress neatly. not lavishly. A
bank pays higher rate Of interest
than your back.
4. Take your amusements judiclaliy
you will enjoy them better.
5. Don't throw away your crusts ;
eat them. They are as strengthening
a beef.
6. II is more exhilarating 10 feel
money in your pocket than iquor in
your stomach.
Z. Remember it takes only 20 shili-
ings to make pound. and IL pennies
TO make shilling.
s. You can sleep better after a
days hard work than after a day 5
idleness.
8. Always get good value from
tradesmen. They get good money
from you.
TO- There is as much pleasure IN
reading good bank book as novel.
Follow the recommendations of Ben
jamin Franklin and adopt the rules Of
Harry Lauder and buy thrift stamps.
You will never regret the move. Go
now and get the habit.
