Bronze Prussian
Must Go to Work,
Patriots Declare
Melt Statue of Frederick
the Great Into Bullets, Says
Henry A. Wise Wood

Frederick the Great, founder of the
Prussian system which his great-great-
great-greatnephew che present Kaiser,
is following 80 disastrously, may have
to come down from the pedestal in
front of the War College in Washing
ton. where he was placed as the gift
Of Wilhelm Hohenzollern, and aid the
Stars and Stripes in wipirg out Prus-
sia and all her works.
Patriotic Americans here we're heart
lily in favor yesterday of conscriptng
the bronze Prussian monarch, and put
ting him to work against his own gov
ernment at once. Among a diversity Of
opinions as to what use a republic
could put Hohenzollern king. two met
with special favor.
Every time one of our soldiers hurts
the kaiser's feelings by some spe-
clally daring deed against his forces,
let the Kaiser pay for the decoration
he gets. In other words, have Fred
erlck the Great, the German En-
peeror's gift to America, melted up into
war medals.
mat was one suggestion. Other
more scrupulous persons urged that
TINS. would not be quite fair and pro-
rosed that the statue be returned to
Germany-in the shape of bullets and
Nothing, they said, could be fairer
than this.
Henry A. Wise Woods Plan
To this second suggestion, Hen>y A.
Wise Wood offered an amendment.
Melt Frederick into bullets by all
means, he said, but do not bother to
snip him abroad. Administer the
kalser's gift, with the proper proper
tlon OF gunpowder, to his secret repre-
sentatives in this country.
"The most dishearteninc thing that
has happened in MONTHS" said Nj.
Wood, was the recent denial Of The
Department of Justice that any Ger
| man spies had been shot in this coua-
try. If that is true, the intelligence
bureaus has not been on the Job, or
else the government has been lax in
its duty.
"None of the bullets from Fred
statue. should be sent to the boys
abroad. None could be spared for
abroad. They would all be needed hcre
for the spies"
The humor of having the Kaiser nav
tor military decorations for our army
did not appeal to Mrs. S. K Raymond,
a member Of the Patriotic Service
League and living at 10 Morningside
Drive.

bronze" she said yesterday, "but no
American boy would want to wear a
medal that had come originally from
the Kaiser's money boxes. l should
prefer to have the bronze sold and
have ammunition bought with the pro-
ceeds. That could be turned directly
against the Kaiser himself, where it
belongs.

mediately; | am convinced of that.
Even if it were the statue of turtle
dove it would still be the Kaiser's gift.

fit object for our public places. The
fact that it is statue of Frederick the
Great heightens the insult, to be sure;

object for our eyes these days"

French Perfectly Informed of German Preparations Ger mans Failed at Start, is Belief of French Critics.

Paris, July 16.-All news from the battle front indicates that the element of surprise, favorite German wea- pon, was total failure Monday. The newspapers point out the importance of that fact.
 The French military chiefs, says Maurice Garros in the Echo de Paris, foresaw with wonderful approXima- ton the date and locality of the Ger man effort, and Gen. Foch made all disposition so that the attack was be- gun under conditions favorable to the allies.
 The Matin declares that the French command was informed perfectly of the German preparation and knew on Sunday morning that the German troops had begun to use their reserve food supplies. This enabled the French artillery to deliver an intense fire against the Germans with the result that the attackers were badly battered.
 That the Germans failed at the start is the common view of all French military critics and even the most cautious are unable to conceal their satisfaction over the results of Mondays fighting.

Mothers Love AccOmplishes What Rangers and Posse Could Not DO-Ten Are LOdg- ed in Jail.

Beaumont, Texas, July 16.- The hunt for the alleged draft resisters in San Augustine county ended much more peacefully than expected. Ten of the men wanted are now in jail here, three of them charged with kill ing Ranger Dudley White and serious ly wounding Ranger w. l. Rowe last Friday morning at o'clock in pis- tol duel in the darkness.
 Rangers, posses, military forces and federal agents failed to awe the men who had determined to remain in the forests and resist arrest to the last. It remained for mothers love and influence to win the men over to law and order. Chester Collins, of Luf- kin, accompanied the party to the Boze Williams farm where the rang CTS were shot MT. Collins told the aged Williams couple and their daugh ter that it would be better to end the affair without further bloodshed and they were convinced. Mother and daughter then made their way into the forest and found the ten young men, who needed their plea.
 Handing over their weapons, the men told the officers they would take their chances in the courts rather than in fight, at the earnest solici- tation of Mrs. Williams.
 Among the ten now in jail here are Sam Williams, Clay Williams and Dave Evans.

contested every foot of ground.
 Battles proceeded simultaneously on the right and left banks of the river. The German line of advance appears to be Venteuil on the north ern bank and Oeuilly on the southern. The position is somewhat confused tonight and it is difficult to tell where the opposing columns are.
 The Germans desire by this move ment evidently to turn the strong position formed by the forest and mountain of Rheims from the south, as an effort at frontal attack would probably lead to disaster. The general impression tonight is that the posi- ton is favorable for the allies, whose tenacity and preparedness unques- tionably surprised the Germans, up setting their plans for rapid initial success.
