the assassination was purely political

800 Profit by Mistake.

The joke of the day is the arrival OF
a batch of 500 Frenchmen of military
age who were destined to be deported
into Germany, but through some mis-
take were directed across the Dutch
frontier. These men were overjoyed
at unexpectedly regaining their lib
erty. Other Frenchmen have reached
Holland, hidden in baggage cars.
The language difficulty has largely
been overcome by the assistance of
Belgians from the old Belgian refugee
camps. A peculiar question has arisen
concerning the giving of aid to the
refugees, owing to a clause in the
charters of the relief ships that the
cargoes are exclusively for people
in the occupied territory. 1t is ex-
pected, however, that the Germans
will raise no objection to the feeding
of the refugees from the stores
brought in by the relief ships. The
French government has taken steps
to return the food supplies thus far
given the refugees.

MAKES PLEA
FOR GERMAN PEOPLE
Premier Iammasch Writes Hr.
Lansing Their Traditions and
ideals Need Consideration.

AMSTERDAM. Saturday, November
2.-Heinrich Lammasch. premier Of
Austria, has written communication
to Secretary Of STATE Lansing dis
cussing the situation in Germany. ac-
cording to Vienna adyices. Prof.
Joseph Redlion, member Of the Aus
TRAN reichrath, and DR.. Meinl joined
with DR.. Lammasch in sending the
communication to Secretary Lansing.
1t was written on October IS. nine
days before the Lammasch cabinet
was formed at Vienna.
In opening. DR.. Lammasch recalls to
Secretary Lansing ''the four months
which, years ago. we spent in common
labor with the object Of maintaining
peace betwee two great nations" He
refers in this to the court of arbitra-
ton which decided the Newfoundland
fisheries dispute, which was held at
The Hague in 1910. and at which DR..
Lsmmasch was presiding officer and
Secretary Lansing was counselor for
the United States. The communication
sets forth considerations which the
writers suggest should be taken into
account in President Wilson's reply
to Germany. 1t says in part:
THE German people can carry out
President Wilson's program only in a
manner corresponding to their con-
dftions, traditions and ideals. The
more undisturbed the German people
are left and the fewer attempts that
are made to keep them in leading
strings. the more surely and quickly
will they obtain their objective.
