war is to destroy the military terror

extended, not only over all Ger

determination is based not so much on
mere desire for vengeance for all
the frightful atrocities on land and

and the hideous cruelties for which the
kaiser and his Prussian associates
have rendered themselves responsible
during the last four years and more.

adult princes OF the reigning house OF

Correspondence Associated Press.1
With the American Forces in France,
Oct 24-It was three American privatea
who gave the French civilians of the
German occupied village Of Thiaucourt
the greatest thrill of their lives. For
four years they had been waiting
and then the Americans came.
When the three privates-an advance
guard of swarms of other Americans
in their wake--swung into the war
torn village of Thiaucourt not soul
Was in the streets. But in few min
utes rew,, spread among the 100 civil
ians that the Americans were there
and men and women and children came
in droves from cellars where they had
been hiding in terror for two days and
mig hts And from other cellars and
ducouts there came 500 German SOL
diers who were delighted with the idea
of giving up. *
The offensive of the first American
army. which wiped out the St. Mihiel
:;alient, began on a Thursday morning
and it was Saturday afternoon when
the wenry Americans reached Th!au'
court. hungry and fatigued from fast
walking in their eagerness to keep
pace with the fleeing Germans.
AS the Americans poured into the
village and the French realized more
and more Ahat again Thiaucourt had
come into her own. men stood in the
streets and cried openly and wanen

wreckage caused by shells and wept
until near exhaustion. And in the
confusion the children cheered but even
some of them the older ones realizing
what it all meant, cried too and kissed
the hands of the officers and men.
What food they had on hand the
French turned over to the Americans,
the villagers insisting upon the Amer
leans taking all they wanted of what
they had So in the streets and in the
houses; some of them occupied only a
few hours previously by German offic-
ers and men. the Americans made
themselves at home for short breath
ing spell, and the French population OF
the village endeavored to satisfy the
appetites Of their deliverers.
From the time the Germans reached
Thiaucourt in September 1914. until a
few days after the village had been re-
taken by American troops the civilians
were entirely without fresh meat OF
any kind except now and then chick
en- or rabbit which were raised in
cellars without the knowledge of the
Germans. All the cattle in The region
of Thiaucourt were taken by the Ger
mans but two cows being left to furnish
milk for babies.
Until the United States entered tie
war food was sent to Thiaucourt by
way of the Netherlands by the Amer
lean relief committee and later by a
Spanish relief committee. This con-
sisted principally OF bacon. -four. sugar
rice, beans, peas and some cocoa. Two
boxes Of condensed milk were received
in Thiaucourt each month and now and
then shipment Of salt meat. Twice
several boxes Of American shoes ar.
rived for the Inhabitants and at lonH
intervals there were small shipments
OF clothing.
During the four years occupation by
the Gernans none OF the civilians was
allowed to leave the, town. However
on one or two occasions indiviiiials
were permitted to visit n nearby vii

Accuse William Of Perjury.
The kings of Bavaria, Wurttemberg
and Saxony, are said to have cast In
the teeth Of Emperor william, that In
this matter he had been guilty OF
lying to them, and OF perjury to the
entire German peopc. since he had
solcmnly sworn on the Gospels to OBJ =
serve and obey the various provisions
of the constitution. They are said to
have pointed out to him that his vio-
lation of the constitution. which had
precipitated the war and brought such
irreparable ruin, dcsolatfon and mis-
cry upon the German people. as we'll
as all the ignominy of defeat, was of a
o., 4, .Ny.f- nf
the presidency of the confederation
of sovereign states known as the Ger
man empire, and of his title OF Ger
man kaiser.
IT was to avert this charge that
William during the last three years
has made so many concessions to the
non Prussian states, by bestowing the
Office of chancellor upon the Bavarian
PREMIER Count Hertling, that Of vice
chancellor upon Frederick Won Payer
of Wurttemberg. and the secretary
ship of state for foreign affairs upon
Won Kuehlmann, a south German, and
when Count Hertfing had become i'm
possible, from a Prussian point OF
view. had appointed as his successor,
Prince MaNimilian of Baden.
Concessions Of no Avail.
But all these concessionS, bitterly
resented at Berlin, have proved of no
avail in shielding the kaiser from the
charges made by his allies in the Ger
man confederation of having lied to
them, lied to the people of Germany,
and Of having violated the 0onstitu-
ton in such Il fashion as to preclude
his remaining any longer at the head
of the confederation. and in charge of
the foreign relations and Of the mill
tary dcstinies of the fathcrland.
II is no longer any secret that the
kaiser responded to these reproaches
by accusing the non Prussian rulers.
