Didn't See Coming Car

suited when he failed to notice the

HOHENZOLLERNS
TRY BLACKMAL
ON WHOLE WORLD
Amazing Confession of Part
ner in Germany's Crime
Against All Nations
FOR POWER AND WEALTH
Stood Ready to Divide Riches
of World With Those in
Shameful Conspiracy

In 1878 the Hohenzollerns
appealed to the most powerful
businessmen of Germany to help
finance a vast war of conquest.
They were to be rewarded law
ishly out of the spoils. The plot
failed. and one of these business
men, Herr Thyssen, made the
amazing public confession which
appears on this page, reprinted
from the Manufacturers Record.
which prefaces Herr Thyssen's
article with this preface:
August Thyssen. one of Ger
many's greatest steel manufac-
turers. has made a revelation of
Germany's official and individual
perfidy and turpitude that is of
more Importance than all the
diplomatic revelations now COM
ing to the front, which have
stamped Germany as the great
est criminal in history.
Herr Thyssen is personally
known to many of the leading
, iron and steel men of America.
Some years ago, with other Euro
pean iron manufacturers, he at
tended meeting in this country
and was esteemed by his ac-
quaintance as man of supposed
high integrity. He makes a rev.
elation which fully confirms all
that Otto H. Kahn said when he
declared that the whole German
people had sold their souls to the
devil for the promise of material
prosperity through militarism.
August Thyssen is about IS
years old.

by U-boat gunfire fifty miles off the
Delaware Capes on Sunday evening.

Speed of automobiles in Harris

before the Harrisburg Rotary Club

five miles an hour may be safely

Washington, June 5.-Concentra-

off the Maryland coast followed the
receipt of advices by the Navy De-
partment that German undersea
craft having sunk a probable total of
ten vessels off the New Jersey shore,
had yesterday transferred the scene
of their depredations further south.
Just as naval officials had concluded
that the German raiders had left
American waters for their home port
there came the news that a French
tank steamer, the Radioleine, was
saved from destruction early yester-
day by an American destroyer sixty
five miles off the Maryland coast.
The same dispatch from the news
that there had been added another
schooner. the Edward Baird, Jr., to
the list of submarine victims.
Naval officials are proceeding on
the theory that many submarines
may be off the coast or may be ex-
pected to arrive, although they have
nothing to indicate that more than
two have been operating. When
American destroyers and other small
craft were sent abroad for work in
the war zone, it was fully realized
that submarine raids in American
waters were entirely possible and the
