"The shell presents many difficult
ties in the matter Of obtaining proper

hot In its passage through the air at

that could harness the power of liquid

emulation Of enough liquid gas to cool

BLAMES BERLIN
AS war CAUSE
fBy Associated Press)


NEW YORK, March 30-The charge
that the present war was conceived In
Germany and that appeals for help
from the Baltic provinces were only
q pretext for annexations planned long
ago, was made bluntly in the German
Reichstag, during the third reading OF
the treaty with the Ukraine by DR..
Cohn, Independent socialist, according
to Berlin dispatch published by the
Cologne Gazette, of Feb. %.
A socialist deputy having declared
that there were war fanatics in all
countries, Count Westarp, a conserve.
tive arose and said:
mo; in Germany there are no war
instigators."
Derisive laughter on the part Of the
socialists followed this remark. The
count continued:
'By making such an irresponsible
statement you give encouragement to
the enemy because they calumniously
assert the same thing"
Germany Started War
This caused a great uproar among
the socialists and Dr. Cohn interrupted
with the question:
where was this war conceived?"
Deputy Conn.," replied the count,
seems to have the courage and the
brazeness to assert that this war was
conceived in Germany.
Deputy Cohn replied: Eyes. Yes"
Great excitement ensued and there
were numerous demands of throw
the fellow out!"
The president called deputy Cohn
to order, but later he made this
statement:
1--WE reject this treaty. It outrages
the Poles. The so-called cries for
help from the Baltic lands are only
pretexts, for annexation decided upon
long ago.
"The German people. as all other
peoples, must take their destiny into
their own hands against the princes
and statesmen against militarism."
This was greeted by cries Of trait
or!" from all parts of the house. The
treaty was finally passed over the
votes of the Independent socialists,
Polish and Danish members.

the speed and spirit with which the
fresh divisions of British are able to

began so successfully on Thursday.
French Show Speed.
Every account testlfies to the amaz-
ing rapidity with which French troops
are pouring into the struggle. This Is
exactly the sort Of an emergency in
which their national characteristics
are always most conspicuous.
And let US add, with full knowledge
of the facts and in view of many mis-
leading rumors, that there never was
a moment before in the whole war
when the cooperation Of the higher
commands of the general staff was SO
nearly complete.
The crisis OF the past ten days has
served only to hasten and to crystal
ize arrangements for the mutual sup.
port under which Field Marshal Haig
and Sir Henry Wilson are working
with General Foch and General Petain.
