FEDERATION OF
ALL GERMANS
WITHKAISERAT
HEAD PLANNED

LONDON, Nov. 19.-That the Ger
mans are plotting to form q fedaE6-
ton with a population of 94,O3S,293.
with the former kaiser at its head, is
the opinion of Lord Robert Cecil and
other prominent British statesmen.
Their view is being widely circulated
today by the English press under large
headlines.
According to the British opinion, it
is the German plan to unite the Ger
man population of Germany, Austria,
Holland, Switzerland and Sweden, thus
sowing the seeds for another great
world war. A German-inspired revo-
lution for this purpose is reported
brewing in Holland, Switzerland and
Sweden.
The former kaiser is reported back
ing Ebert, the present head of the Ger
man government; Prince MaximiIian
the recent chancellor, and Hinden-
burg, the head of the army, In further
ance of the federation plan.

PETAlN ENTERS GREAT METZ FORTRESS
DISCHARGE AT
ONCE ALLOWED
CADET FLYERS
AND OFFICERS

Orders were received at Souther
Field from Washington this morning
notifying Major Wash, the officer in
command, to grant immediate dis
charge to all cadets applying, and to
permit officers in the air service under
| his command to resign at once, at
their opti0n. The instructions pro-
yided that all cadets who desired
might be allowed to remain in the
service and complete their training,
when they will receive their commits
sions as second lieutenants in the Of
ficers' Reserve Corps.
Similar orders were sent to aerial
training posts throughout the coun-
try. About 250 cadets are aectfted at
Souther Field a .a'ge number of
whom are expected to apply for i'm
mediate discharge. However, it is
anticipated that a considerable number
will elect to remain for the completion
of their training period and the win
ming of their commissions.
1t was ANNOUNCED in Washington
that orders had been issued for the
closing of Selfridge field, Mount Glenn
ems, Mich; Chanute field, Dantoul
H. and Scott field Bellyille, Ill and
for the abandonment OF the Air Ser
vice Mechanics school at St. Paul
Mimi.
Requests of officers now in the air
service who desire separation from
the service will be considered individ-
ually and in connection with the needs
for their service, says the Washington
announcement
Early orders are expected at Souther
Field releasing the men of the con-
struction department who are now
practically without anything to do, all
the construction work at the camp
having been completed. Only about a
dozen men are attached 10 thls ue-
partment at this time
The orders for the discharge of the
cadets and men at SoutheT Field are
not taken as a new indication of the
early abandonment of the camp. 1t is
still believed to be the plan of the war
department to retain the camp as a
permanent flying field for the standing
army of the United States Most Of the
other army and flying camps through
out the country will be abandoned,
however. Should the camp be retain
ed here this will mean the transfer
here of many men in the air service
who will not return to civilian life,
