GERMAN COMMENT

Amsterdam, Oct Accommodating upon

new German imperial chancellor. the
TagebIatt Of Berlin says:
"All Germany. or at any rate that
great, honest and good Germany which
is imperishable, feels that Prince Maxi
milan, in accordance with his duty as
a man and as a servant Of his people,
has done what is right and necessary.
why haven't we learned earlier to know
ourselves"
A sample of pan-Germanic comment
may be found in the editorial printed
on Sunday by the Lokal Anzeiger, def
antly announcing that the German peo-
pie will to the last drop of blood fight
those whose aim is to dictate a humil-
iating peace.
"Unbroken stands our front on enemy
land" the newspaper continues. 1--WE
shall be able to defend ourselves more
easily against an Entente attack
through Bulgaria than against Russia.

three years. Many a f1ourishing coun-
tryside must be laid waste and hundreds
Of thousands Of lives must be sacrificed
by the enemy if this maximum of our
concessions does not satisfy them.''

" admonishes President Wilson to re-
alize 1.-The superhuman responsibility
placed upon his shoulders" and is magis-
terial tones hopes "he will prove him
self worthy of this terrible responsible
hour
The Vienna Reichpost says:
president Wilson is now given an OPP
portunity to prove his fitness to be
world arbiter. Restoration of peace de-
ponds upon the sincerity of his will to
do Justice and establish a new order that
excludes oppression and establishes
real and lasting peace. The fate OF hu-
manity has been placed in his hands.

visited this city on the week Of Sept. Is.

same and later sold the horse to a man
out on Bolton hill. and while on the
same visit posing az an army officer un-
dertook to f1lm-flam certain people out

success) ostensibly to send the same to
their sons whom he reported as either
sick or wounded in army camps or hos
pitfalls. will be interested to know that
the sergeant" while practicing the
same bunco game in Massachusetts,.
came to grief and was aTrested by the
police of Lowell on Monday and held in
5000 to await the action of the grant
jury. Concerning the "sergeant's"
Massachusetts, escapades the Boston
Post of Tuesday contained the follow
ing:
A man described by federal officials
as the meanest offender who was ever
before the United States courts in this
city spent last night in the East Cam
bridge Jail as a government prisoner.
He was held in 5000 bail to await the
action Of the grand jury.
John Thibeault lives somewhere in
Salem, according to the records. But
his campaign came to a sudden end in
Lowell. where it is alleged that. posing
as Sergeant Collins" Of the United
States army. he obtained money from
working women whose sons are in the
service on his statement that their boys
were sick and needed funds to buy
civilian suits to come home"
Thibeault was charged with falsely
pretending to be acting under the au-
thority of the United States. and he
pleaded guilty before Commissioner
Hayes.
The federal complaint was sworn
out by Assistant United States At
torney Judd Dewey. who declared
that the arrest was very important
one, as the government has long
been on the trail Of men Of this
stamp.
Thibeault's alleged plan Of opera
tons was as follows: He got hold OF
some chevrons taken from a service
uniform and pinned them on his vest
underneath his coat. Thus armed,
when he spied a house. showing a
service flag he would walk and tell
his story about the sick son at an
army camp or in France. The ruse
worked and in several cases he got
the money he was after.
Mrs. Elizabeth Mahoney, a Lowell
mill operative, was victim. Thib-
eault appeared at her home and was
given $40. all the ready money in the
house. But the mother promised the
sergeant, 81 additional if he would
meet he: at the mill when she got
her weeks pay. Thibeault was on
hand and tucked the hard.earned
money in his pocket and departed.
Another Lowell woman, instead Of
money, gave the man, it is said. SIS
worth Of clothing for her son. 1t was
packed in a suit case. The entire
outfit Thibeault is alleged to have
disposed Of at a pawnshop for $24.
Chief Welsh and Inspector Cauley
of the Lowell police rounded the fell
low up and brought him to the fed
eral building.
