Blatchford Warns
Of German Invasion

During this campaign "The Daily
Mail" published series of articles
by Robert Blatchford, we'll known
British Socialist, purporting to ex
pose German aims and more than
hinting at q possible invasion Of the
British Isles by the Germans.
Blatchford said that he had gone to
Germany himself and personally in
terviewed people Of all classes in
many parts Of the country, and had
found the sentiment for war against
England practically universal.
He was himself opposed to war
on principle as Socialist, but had
been aroused by such extraordinary
German activity, the feverish build
ing OF battleships and the extensive
and costly preparations for WA in
which he believed Germany was al
ready well advanced.
He stated that all Germans he
had talked with regarded war with
England as an ultimate necessity.
On the other hand, the Liberal
press and the Liberals generally
ridiculed Robert Biatcnford's arti-
cles end mercilessly asaailcd his as
sertions that the Germans intcnded
invading England.
They tired 70 give his assertions

konigsberg Is the second capital
Of Prussia, the headquarters Of an

troops. The city has about 250,OCO

where there are tombs Of the Grand

Before Going to
Germany for News


During these dangerous years, as
may call them. now that we know
they were the skirmish period pre-
ceding real warfare, l met Melville
frequently, and, as we were both
Liberals, we always discussed the
latest disclosures and shook our
heads over them. I also talked
about them with Patrick Quinn,
who was at that time, and is now,
uperintendent Of the Special
Branch of Criminal Intelligence De
partmen5 and Melville's successor.
Meantime, as l told you, | gathered
some gossip to use myself if ever
occasion offered, but my excursions
IN search Of sources Of future dis
closures were spatch-cocked into a
busy life on the same principle that
we paste up a scrapbook Of useful"
clippings and then probably never
look at them again.
And so, "by- -large,' it came
very naturally that Melville should
talk chiefly about the German men

him in response to his telephone call
back in 1910.

NOTHING new FOUND
IN CORONER MYSTERY
Case Seems At Standstill I'm
til Court Takes Action.

Prosecuting Attorney Allen B. Noll
stated today that there were no new
developments in the mystery sur
rounding the death of Clarence T..
Corner, which occurred at the Cord
ner home last Monday evening. The
voluntary surrender to the officers
CT Lewis Hettenhouser brings the
officers in touch with all those who
are known to have been at the Cord
ner home the afternoon and evening
OF the supposed murder, and the
matter now seems to be at a stand.
st d until the case is brought up in
the Circuit Court. So far as could
be learned, neither Mrs. Leggett nor
John w. Rice has thrown any addi-
tional light on the mystery. Hetten-
fouser stoutly sticks to his state
ment that he knows nothing about
the matter, except that he accom-
panied Rice to the Cordner home on
Monday afternoon and then drove
away without going inside the house.
He also states that his trip to Phil
adelphia to work in the shipyards
had been arranged several days be-
fore that time.
Finds New Evidence.
II was stated this afternoon that
Officer Riddle, who has been devot-
ing considerable thought upon the
Cordner murder case, has discovered
some evidence that will create a SEN
sation at the time of the hearing.
Naturally the officer declined to
make any public statement.

NO INTERVENTION
BY JAPS IN RUSSIA
Agree to Policy Laid Down By
United States.
10y international News service)

Washington, March 29.--Americar
diplomacy apparently has scored an
other victory. Advices reaching dip
lomatic circles today indicate that
Japan has definitely accepted the
view of this country, and will moi
intervene in Siberia. According tc
these advices, as result of the con
ferences which have been in prog
rsss in Toxic for the last 10 days, II
has been agreed that there is no ser
ious menace for Japan in the Siber
ian developments, and the premier
and foreign minister have let it be
known that ali aggressive plans have
been dropped.
Japan maintains her right to take
any and all steps which may be nee
essary to protect her interests in the
far east, and in this connection the
interests of China intertwined with
her. But, while the Siberian situa
ton remains as it now is, there will
be no invasion of Siberia. Inasmuch
as this is the position which the
United States has held all along, the
two governments seem to be in com.
plete accord on the subject.
1t is assumed here that the decis
Ion of the Japanese government fol
lowed the conferences participated in
by the Japanese premier, the foreign
minister and the returned Japanese
ambassador to Russia. The latter
was able to bring to Toxic first-hand
news of the general Russian situa'
lion. The state department today
was without definite word from Am.
bassador Morris regarding Japan's
intentions. 1t was unlikely, however
that publicity would be given to any
report from him.
