"You are right, Monsieur lie

ticed that the name Paul Sernine
was merely an anagram of Arsene

today: Luis Perenna also is an
anagram of Arsene Lupin. The
two names r composed of the

nor less. And yet, although it
was the second time, nobody
thought Of making that little
comparison. The egg of Columbus

Valenglay was a little surprised
at the revelation. 1t seemed as
if that devil Of a man had sworn
to puzzle him up to the last mo-
ment and to bewilder him by the
most unexpected sensational
news. And how we'll this last
detail depicted the fellow, a queer
mixture of dignity and impu-
dence, of mischief and simplicity,
of smiling chaff and discomfort
ing charm, a sort Of hero who,
while conquering kingdoms by
most incredible adventures,
amused himself by mixing up the
letters on his name so as to catch
the public mapping!
The interview was nearly at an
end. Valenglay said to Perenna {:
Monsieur, you have done
wonders in this business and
ended by keeping your word and
handing over the criminal. I also
will keep my word. You are

America Plans to
Care for 5,OQQ, 400
-..' I roops at FROM

LONDON, May 16.-American prep
arations on the western front are amaz-
ing in their imnensity, and plans are
being made to care for 5000 900 Ameri-
can troops, Harry F.. V. Britain, Sec
retary Of the English branch of the Pill
grims' Club, told the Royal Colonial In
stitute last night. If the Germans do
not give in, he added, the number of
American troops will be increased to
any amount necessary.
Sir Charles P. Lucas, former head
of the Dominon's Department at the Co.
lonial Office, said he wondered if the
Germans realized what the entry of
America into the war meant. 1t meant,
he said, not only the accession to the
Allied powers of many millions of fight
ing men and the addition of vast re-
sources, but also the coming in of the
only one among the great peoples of
the world who have seen and carried
through to an unmistakable issue a
four years war.
The United States, asserted Miss Hig-
gins, of the American labor delegation
had answered the call of blood. Eng
land had been wonderful inspration
and the heart of America was full of
gratitude for what England's sons had
achieved.

Conquest Shown in
Captured Document
(Bv The Associated Press)

WITH THE FRENCH ARMY IN
FRANCE, May Is. = Germany's condi
tions of peace are clearly stated in
document found in German trench
that was recently recaptured by En-
tente Allied troops. A resume of The
principal conditions, as given in an of
fetal translation, reads:
after the enormous Sacrifices we
have made of our blood and property
we exact as a necessary minimum to
the preservation and development of
Germany the following:
Belgium, especially the Flanders
coast with Antwerp, is to remain un-
der German military, economic and
political dependence.
Liberty of the seas shall be prop
erly established for all nations, the
Central Powers being allowed COM
mercial fleet totalling 17,S0O,0OO tons,
while that of the Allies should
amount to 10,9Oo,oO0 tons.
"Our colonies shall be returned
with augmentation.
"We are to have more numerous
and stronger naval stations.
"The Longwy and Briey mine fields,
which furnish France its weapons for
attack, shall become German.
"Readjustments of the frontiers,
particularly in the Vosges, are to be
fixed according to the military stu
alton and the appreciation of the
commandant. Our frontiers must be
such that their defence is made
easier.
''The former German Baltic prov
inces shall be incorporated, their
rich soil furnishing new cereal fields
for German peasant emigrants, thus
protecting the empire against the
dangers of famine.
"Courland, Lithuania, Livonia and
Esthonia are to be colonized.
Zone million eight hundred thou
sand tons of Rumanian petrol will be
at the disposition of Germany
"Those nations who attacked peace
full Germany must pay all war
charges in raw material, ships,
ready money and territorial conces-
sions, leaving Germany with only five
billions national debt"

Austria,1s to Strike
At Milan in Nelu
Driue Against ItaI,

LONDON, May 16.-An Austrian
blow against Italy may be expected
at an early date in the opinion of we'll
informed observers here. The enemy
project, it is believed generally, COM
prises a great invasion with Milan
and Brescia as the chief objectives in
a scheme to smash the Italian army.
Since the retreat last October the
Italian strategic plan has been recast
and the main defensive positions are
now held solidly. but it is believed the
Austrians intend to strike against the
remaining $50 miles of the original
front west of the Brenta. Along the
mountain wall stretching from the
Stelvio Pass to Monte Crappa. between
the Brenta and the Piave, the enemy
has the advantage of the positions.

Washington Still Holds Out
Hope for Regaining

Especial Dispatch to The Tribune)

Especial Dispatch to The Tribune)
WASHINGTON, May 16.~-Alexander
Kerensky, tho former revolutionary
Premier of Russia. according to repre-
sentatives of the Bolsheviki here, is
expected to arrive at an Atlantic port
of this country next Monday or Tues
day.
The Bolsheviki believe he is coming
in the interest of some counter revo.
lutionary movement in Russia, perhaps
in behalf of the Semeneff Cossack
movement in Siberia, or to urge upon
the President acquiescence in Japan's
Intervention in behalf of the Siberian
Cossacks.
Another deputation representing
Semeneff. according to the same au.
thority, reached Pacific port recently
Among its members was the com.
mander Of the "Battalion of Death. y
whose arrival was recently recorded in
the press. The purpose of this depu-
tation, according to the reports here. is
to plead for Japanese intervention in
Siberia.
Drive Against Bolsheviki
At any rate, it seems reasonably
clear that big drive in behalf of a
New-York tribune., 1918-05-17

counter movement against the Bolshe-
wiki is about to be made in Washing
ton. Kerensky and the others are com
ing here because if Washington can
be won over there will be united Allied
support for Japanese intervention, or
of some kind. The President has gone
further in indicating sympathy with
and support for the Bolsheviki than
has any one of the Allied powers.
His telegram to the congress of the
Soviets was an approach toward recog-
milton. while his opposition was the
cnly thing that saved the Bolsheviki
Fl ON action in Russian territory by
the Japanese.
Still. he has withheld formal recogni-
tion from the Bolsheviki, and it is
confidence of the American government
to the extent Kerensky did may ex-
crcise. q powerful influence, at least
against recognition of the Bolsheviki
and perhaps in favor of counter
movement OH the part of some less
radical element.
Diplomatically, Russia has taken the
place the Balkans occupied at the be-
ginning of the war. Germany may
organize Russla's millions and bring
them to her own support, and thus stave
eff the defeat that now threatens. The
Allies by sympathetic and understand
ing treatment may bring Russia back
into the war on their side a year or
so from now. Every one recognizes
these two possibilities. A mistake
with regard to Russia is the yravest
mistake that can be made. Yet all
evidence is that the situation. SO far
as this country and the Allies are con-
cerned, is simply drifting. There is
no accepted policy, as the difference
of opinion over Japan showed.
No Diplomatic Unity
And the machinery is lacking for de-
veloping TN intelligent policy with re-
gard to Russia. whore the war still
may be won or lost. There is no diplo-
matte unity among the Allies and this
country. And none of the Allies has
such a contact with Russia as will

of the people brought strenuous objec-
ton from States Attorney Joseph P
Streuber. Judge Bernreuter sustained
the prosecution.
"If man threatens to do a citizen
bodily injury, and afterward makes
a motion Of violence. the citizen would
have right to kill him under the
law" said the judge. "But because a
citizen happens to come from an enemy
nation is no reason why his life should
be taken on suspicion that he intends
harm to the community"
States Attorney Streuber was jubi-
liant over the turn the case is expected
to take. "The state will be fully pre-
pared to meet any defence that involves
the loyalty or disloyalty of the vic
tim," he said. "The code of Illinois
protects all foreigners, even criminals,
from wanton attack"

Heavy artillery duels, an increase
of large raids and severe air
fighting marked the day on the
critical fronts in Flanders and
France yesterday. Correspondents
agree the principal German effort
~~ will be- directed at Amiens.
Berlin claims the election of the
French from captured position
north of Mount KENNEL, south of
Ypres. The latest information
from London is that the French
still hold Hill "a in this sector.
The heaviest fighting reported yes
terday was on the Italian noun
tain front between the Brenta
and Piave rivers, where the Ital-
ians are struggling to gain stra-
tegic positions in order to pre-
pare for the expected Austrian
offensive, which is now believed
to be imminent.
Rome stated the Italians captured
two trench sectors on Mount Aso-
lone, about 5000 feet high, driv-
ing out the Austrians. Vienna
declared the Italians were re-
pulsed in hand-to-hand fighting
on both Asolone and Pertica, an
other 5,000-foot peak, three miles
from the first named. 1t is ex-
pected the principal force of the
Austrian offensive will be felt in

PARIS, May 16.-The United

600 fighting men in France by the
end of 1918, says "L'Homme Libre,"
Premier Clemenceau's newspaper.
These troops, it adds, must have
their own organization and services,
which will mean at least 100000
specialists, workers, men in the
quartermaster's department, and
others.
The newspaper says certain mis-
understandings which had existed
have been cleared up, and that un-
der no circumstances will Allied
workers or soldiers replace French
workers in factories. The presence
OF American workers on French soil
will be in direct consequence of the
presence of American fighters on
the front.
