WITNESSES SAY
WEIDLICH AUTO
SMASHED Gates

Positive testimony that the gates
at the Berkshire division crossing in
North avenue were down when the au-
tomobile, occupied by Ernest and
Frederick Weidlich, was struck by a
south bound train, Wednesday even
ing, was given by several witnesses
before Coroner John j. Phelan, this
morning.
Edward O'Brien, of % Reservoir
avenue, a conductoa4 for the Connec-
ticut Co., testified that he saw Falvey,
the gate tender, run into the roadway
and cry 'tstop!" At that time the gates
were closed. O'Brien did not see the
automobile.
Conductor Benjamin Shire, of So
Beach street, also testified that the
gates were closed. George Reichen-
back, an employe at the Eckart Brew
cry, saw the accident from the win
dow of the brewery, and swore the
gates were down when the automobile
crashed through them.
Coroner Phelan is holding his in
quiry open in the hopes of obtaining

Testimony of Stephen Barrett given

coming north in Lindley street was

TROTZKY CONDEMNS
GERMANS DUPLICITY

Petrograd, Jan. 25.-A detailed ac-
count of the -Litovsk conference
session following Gen. Hoffman's bold
statement of the aims of the Central
powers was published by the Snolny
institute yesterday. Leon Trotzky,
the Bolshevik foreign minister, ad-
dressing the conference, declared that
the position of the Austro-Germans
is now absolutely clear Continuing,
the foreign minister said:
Germany and Austria seek to cut
off more than 10000 square versts
from the former Polish kingdom of
Lithuania, also the area populated by
the Ukrainians and White Russians
and further they want to cut into
territory of the Let's and separate the
islands populated by the Esthonians
from the same peoples on the main
land. Within this territory Germany
and Austria want to retain their reign
of military occupation, not only after
the conclusion of peace with Russia,
but after the conclusion of a general
peace. At the same time the Central
powers refuse not only to give any
explanation regarding the. terms of

comes to the surface that he has to
pronounce judgment on Germany,
charging her with being guilty of all
possible crimes. That is an attitude
with which we can have nothing to
do, and in which we can discover no
trace of a serious purpose to attain
peace. We are to be the guilty ones,
over whom the Entente is now sit
ting in Judgment That compels me
to give a short review of the situa-
war, at the risk of repeating what
long ago was said.
THE establishment of the German
empire in the year 1871 made an end
of ACKNOWLEDGMENT. By the union OF
it's tribes the German empire in Eur
ope acquired a position correspond
ing to its economic and cultural
achievements and the claims founded
thereon. Bismarck crowned his work
by the alliance with Austria-Hun-
gary.
1T was purely a defensive alliance
so conceived and willed by the ex-
allied allies from the first. Not ever
the slightest thought of its misuse
for aggressive aims ever occurred ir
the course of decades. The defens.
i've alliance between Germany and the
Danube monarchy, closely connected
by old traditions and allied to US by
common interest, was to serve espec.
tally for maintenance of peace.
But Bismarck had even then, a.
he was often reproached for having
an obsession in regard to coalitions
and events of subsequent time havt
shown that it was no vision of ter
ror."

ABANDON EFFORT
TO MAKE FLEMISH
OFFICIAL SPEECH
Germans Meet With Little
Success In Driving Wedge
Between Belgian Peoples

Amsterdam, Jan. 25.-After more
than three years Of effort the Ger
man authorities in Belgium have to
admit the failure of their attempt to
drive a wedge between the two races
and languages in Belgium. The unity
of Belgium still exists, and there are
signs that the Germans have given
up, at least for the time being, their
attempt to break it UP.
The authority for this statement is
the German propagRndist weekly in
Holland, the ToelCmst, which states
that the present policy Of the Gov
ernor-General in Brussels Is more
moderate" and that Berlin approves
this policy as a means of gaining
peace" The article concludes by ad-
wishing the advocates of the former
German policy to steer a middle
course and give up their fourishes of
rhetoric"
The attempts Of the Germans to
force the Flemish language on Brus-
sells and Antwerp are declared to
have completely failed and the gov
eminent has had to confess itself
beaten. The supporters of the Ger
man scheme among the Belgium pop
ulation are known as "Acttvitists,"
and are very unpopular among the
majority of their fellow citizens. An
Activittsts demonstration" was ar
ranged in Brussels recently and was
much exploited in the German press
at the time, But according to the
Bcho Beige, the demonstration was
fasco.
Instead Of 5000, the audience was
only 1000" says the newspaper.
Moreover, one-third Of these were
Dutch and another third German,
partly in uniform. The procession to
the market place was attacked as
soon as noticed b the crowd, not
withstanding the protection of the To-
cal police. Next time there may be
a riot. Now the Activists are begin
ming to divide into Maximalists and
Minimalists and are becoming very
difficult for their German bosses to
handle.".

as a Judge of the city court for eight
years.

BRITISH PRESS SAYS
SUMMARIZING WILL
MEAN DETERMINATION

LONDON. June 6.-The British
press believes the submarine opera
tions against the coast were intended
to lure back American destroyers and
patrol boats from European waters,
bua are confident that result is not
accomplished.
The bombardment OF American
coast cities is considered entirely pos
sible.
The first news ow the submarinings
was published here yesterday after
noon. The express said: Pirates
have plenty OF opportunity for mis-
chief In the western Atlantic. II Is
possible some American seaports viii
be bombarded. An extension Of the
campaign will mean some loss, with
certain retribution and hardening Of
American determination. America
can protect herself and help us. too.
The Graphic said. This desperate
search for Victims Is a proof Of the
straits to which Germany is reduced
A number OF victims is the result OF
the attacks being unexpected. The
United States is now prepared
