ARMY TRUCKS STAND IDLE.
More Than 100000 Worth Are
Parked in Jersey Meadows.

Upward of a million dollars worth

meadows on the main driveway oe-
tween Jersey City and Newark Many
of the trucks have been there since
March. and perhaps longer. They
have been exposed to the weather. and
II is reported that many Of the parts
have been stolen. The only explana-
ton given for the presence or the
trucks was offered by one of the
watchmen, who asserted that the gov

The fact that the Packard Company
had mechanics overhauling some OF
the trucks on the premises two weeks
ago as reported, apparently confirmed
the report that thieves had robbed the
trucks of parts. While the statement
was made by one OF the watchmen
that all the truck were in good con-

much weather-beaten and the wheels
of many were sunk deep in the earth.
The trucks for the NEST part were
brought to the meadows district from
the factories under their own power
to be sent from New York to France.

French offensive in Champagne in

the war over year ago, or would at
least have driven the Germans back on

Manain's Dismissal Explained.
Painleve, in statement handed to
the newspapers. complains he is now
accused of having been induced by oc-
.cult influences at the same period to
dismiss General Mangin, who was then
IN command under General Nivelle of
an important section of the front in
volved in that offensive.
The former war minister asserts Nj
velle, then commander-in-chief, and
not himself, was responsible for Man
gins dismissal. Painleve adds that in
July, after the offensive, he actually Of
fered Mangin another command. iden-
teal to that which the latter accepted
a few months later from Clemenceau,
the present war minister.
Most of the newspapers content
themselves with. reproducing the state
ment and remarking it is regrettable
that Mangin and Nivelle can not give
their versions of the facts, owing to
their tongues being tied by military
discipline.

Charles Taurras in LAction Fran
caise, however, ridicules Painleve's
statement and badly calls him q liar.
Leon Daudet, in the same journal. in
directly refers to the subject and as
serts that, at the period referred to by
Painleve, "Caillaux and Malvy, both
slaves Of Germany, exercised an enor-
nous influence in parliament and in
government councils. From the end of
March in that year, Malvy, as min
lister of the interior, sat on the war
committee and transmitted regularly to
the enemy reports Of the proceedings"
Daudet asserts these reports were

LOSS OF POTENTIAL LIVES.
Decrease in Birth Rate Due to War
Means Loss Of 12,500,00

Correspondence Associated PreSSJ
London. June 13.-The war has
caused the belligerent countries of
Europe the loss of not less than H.
500 potential lives because Of the de-
crease in the number of births result
ing from the war, says Sir. Bernard
Mallet, registrar general of Great>Brit-
ain. This country. he asserts, has lost
in these potential lives, $4,000 chill
dren. He believes that other belliger-
ent countries have suffered in this
respect more than has Great Britain.
Sir Bernard estimated that every day
of the war means loss of 1000 poten-
tials lives of children to the United
Kingdom. France, Italy and the central
powers. Dealing with the decline in the
birth rate here he said the births regis
tered in England and Wales in 1913
numbered sS1,s0O. In 1915 they fell to
s14,614, in 1915 there was further fall

RECALL BISMARCK INJUNCTION.

Amsterdam, June 10.-EBy MALL
Bismarck's Injunction that German dip
lomatic representatives abroad should
not marry any but German wives ought
to be revived, says the koelnische
Volks Zeitung, in an article which
strongly disapproves of the union OF
Count Won Bernstorff's son with Mar
guerite Vivienne Burton Thomas, OF
Burlington N. j., and even more so or
the marriage of his father, the former
ambassador in, Washington.
The latter's conduct. both before ami
after the beginning of the war and I'M
til America joined in, has, it says,
shown many strange svagaries which
would be incomprenensiple but Tor the
fact that his wife. Jeanne Luckemeyer,
was an American woman.
The Volks Zeitung holds that the Bis
MARKHAM dictum that German am
bassador or minister who marries a
foreign wife should leave the service
should be strictly observed. 1t further
says that the service must be over
hauled and reorganized on a broader
basis. Sweeping changes must be in
troduced and many traditions of the old
school must be thrown overheard.
1T is no longer necessary" the Rhen-
ish organ concludes, ITO play the fault
less drawing room diplomatist. The
modern diplomatist must not only be Il
diplomatist in the true sense of the
word, but he must be a sound business
