Plans of Germany
For the Great War.

Washington, April 29.-Repeated
declarations of the German emperor
and Hindenburg and Ludendorff
that the war was forced upon Ger
many and assertions from the same
sources that Germany was taken by
surprise by the Russian mobiliza-
ton attaches particular interest to
certain papers taken from Capt
Won Papen, late German military
attache at Washington.
Among the papers, which have
been published by the British gov
eminent in white book, appears a
letter from R. Won Wild of the Ger
man war ministry in Berlin to Capt.
Won Papen seeking information re-
garding the best means of blowing
up railroad trains in the event of
a European war" The significant
point is that this letter was written
March IL, 1914, about five months
before the outbreak of the war.
This letter says;
According to newspaper reports,
several railway trains were blown
up by revolutionaries during troub-
les in Mexico, In order to form an
|opinion whether, in the event of a
European war, explosions of this
kind would have to be reckoned
with, is requested, that, if possible,
information should be obtained as
to how these attacks have been car
ried out"
Capt. Won Papen, replying from
Mexico, where it is now known that
he was industriously planting seeds
of German PROPAGANDA and estab-
fishing connections for Germany to
use in the event that she should
war upon the United States, did not
regard the operations of the Mexi-
can revolutioEaries as of any par
ticular value.
Another letter to Won Papen from
the manager of the Potsdam branch
of the Disconto-Gesellschaft has this
postscript

CONGRESS DID WELL.

AS general rule our lawmakers are slow
but so long as we manage to keep few men of
action to lead and willing to hold the noses Of
the slowest ones on the grinding stone; they
generally manage to accomplish something; to
enact good law now and again, like the passage
of Man-Power bill, for instance. 1t took them
a long time to make up their minds that it was
just what the country needed; in that men who
should have been sent to the front first; were
left at home playing the gallant, when common
sense dictated that they should be sent after
the boches. We have reference to bachelors
and married men without children over the age
Of thirty-fve and up to sixty. After thirty-fve
bachelors cease to be an attraction in society and
they are such only in the absence of younger
men. AS general rule, they are either too
conceited or too selfish to join the ranks of bene-
diets and become burden often to themselves
These are the men who should have been sent
to the front first and given chance to become
men; for the world want more men and less
bachelors.

In the enactment of the Man-Power bill,
every man in the military ranks and every

whatever capacity he may be engaged, will well

or fight" This clause will surely lend an incen-

NO SECTIONALISM?

A bill to provide pensions at mini
mum of $25 a month for veterans of
the Civil War passed the House of
Representatives by the impressive
vote Of 241 to 46.
Yet this is not the most impressive
thing in the incident. The forty-six
representatives who cast the negative
votes were all Democrats and all but
one of them came from the solid
South or its immediate environs. To
them should be added two others, one
from Tennessee and one from Texas,
who answered present" when their
names were called.
The sole negative vote cast by a
Northerner was provided by Mr.. Cor
don Of Ohio, whose motives may best
be determined by his constituents,
who will have opportunity to pass
upon the question next November.
The other forty-fve members who op-
posed the bill are probably beyond
reach of any political or other chas-
tisement. They hail from states
where the loyal soldiers of the Civil
War are held in execration; and the
only method OF dealing effectively
