MONKS DEFY KAISER
Belgian Priests Refuse to Tell Him
Where His Cousin Max is Buried

British Army Headquarters, Flan-
ders, June 15.-The story of the rea-
son for the desperate assaults de-
livered by the Germans against Mont
DIES Cats, one Of the hill defenses of
Ypres, in the recent drive has now
become known.
1t has no military foundation, and
it will probably be the occasion for
another attempt TO capture the posi-
ton and the territory surrounding it
when the Germans resume their Flan-
der offensive. Here is the story.
In the autumn Of 1914 the Germans
passed over Mont des Cats, and the
ancient Trappist monastery on it was
rudely invaded. The Belgian monks
treated the Germans civilly. Soon a
British cavalry detachment came up
the road and a sharp skirmish fol-
lowed.
The Germans were driven from the
hill into Meteren, but they left behind
a young cavalry officer with many
ribbons on his breast who was dying.
He was Prince Max of Hesse,
mere boy, and cousin of Kaiser Will
helm. The monks tended him in the
monastery until he d;eG and that night
they buried him in the valley below.
Soon after the kaiser sent word to
know the whereabouts of the PRINCES
grave. The old French abbot sent the
following reply:
"Tell the kaiser that I will let him
know the princes burial place when
there are no German soldiers in Bel
giCm, and when restitution has been
made for the crimes against our peo-
pie"
Since then the furious battle of
Ipres took place and the Germans
were driven back from Mont sdes Cats.
The old monastery was left in. peace
until this spring, when KENNEL was
captured, and the monks departed.
The kaiser has made several more
efforts to find out where his cousin is
inferred, but to no avail.

AMERICANS HALT HUN DRIVE
Reports From Front Show They
Played Big Part in Thwarting
Crown Prince.

Washington, June 15.-Military au-
.horities in Washington are convinced
that the crisis in the fourth great
drive of the Germans against the al
lied line in France, has been passed
and for the first time in more than ten
DAYS General Staff officers here are
absolutely certain that the army Of
the German crown prince has been
defeated.
And the reports which have reach
ed Washington through official chan
nels as well as those from unofficial
sources make it clear that this de-
feat was brought about in large meas
ure by the gallantry Of the Ameri-
can forces operating against the Ger
man center in Belleau wood. The
press dispatches have told of the furi-
Gus fighting of the Americans at that
point, of their repeated advance
against superior numbers and of their
final move in sweeping the enemy
from the cover of this forest.
But it has remained for the official
dispatches to comment upon the stra-
tegic value of this victory. It seems
from information which came to hand
that the assaults sustained and car
ried on by the Americans northwest
of Chateau Thierry were not local ir
any sense of the word, but were, IN
fact, of the utmost Importance from
the standpoint Of the entire battle
One review Of the action, it is stated
gives the Americans credit for hav,
ing broken up the whole German plan
of campaign and compelled the crown
prince to abandon his desperate de.
termination to force his way through
the line toward Paris.
The deepest interest is taken in
Washington in German losses. Al
reports which have been cabled tc
Washington agree that they have
been more appalling than in any other
battle on the western front, but if the
War Department has received any
official estimates az to the number oil
men Germany has sacrificed, no word
o. them has been given out. The
fact is, Washington is rather conser'
vative in the matter of enemy losses

CRIME RACES. IN BERLIN
Juvenile Crime, According to the
Press. Has Increased 600 Per Cent

Paris. June 15.-Amazing facts con-
corning the unprecedented outbreak
Of crime among civilians in Germany
are gradually coming 20 light despite
the efforts of the Hun authorities TO
suppress them.
It is now possible to quote the ac-
tual facts of the lawless wave from
the German press itself, as revealed
in copies just made available.
That Juvenile crime in typical
industrial district of Germany has IN
creased 600 per cen: during the war,
that the number of thefts in Berlin
are averaging 800 day, and that
many cities at night arr terrorized by
armed bands of robbers are among
the facts shown by German news
papers.
This orgy of violence and pillage IS
all the more startling because OF the
reputation which the Germans had
claimed, before the war, OF being a
law-abiding people. It seems that the
precedent set by the Prussians IN their
assault upon Belgium and France has
been used as model by the civilian
populace, and that the large-scale
reign of vandalism, brutality and rob-
berry inaugurated by the Hun army
in conquered territory is now beng
followed on a smaller scale by the
women and children in Germany IT.
self.
According to the Deutsche Tages-
zeitung of April &c, 1918, it was de-
clared at Berlin in a report by Prose
cutor Plaschke to the Association OF
the Betterment Of Prisoners that the
tails, which were practically empty in
1914, are now crammed with prison.
ers, and that women and children un:-
der eighteen years form the greater
proportion Of all persons convicted OF
crime.
The nature of the crimes reflects the
conditions Of misery and food short
age in the central empires. Boys and
GIRLS, often organized in bands, plum
der clothing STORED, steal food from
shops and private homes, hold up pas
sersby at night and often start 2 small
reign of terror in the quarters where
they operate. The police are power
less because SO many of them have
been called to the colors. i
German papers tell of various ef-
forts being made by the authorities
to handle the crime menace, such; as
the patfolling of the streets at night
bv military police, the better lighting
of the streets and the reinforcement
of the police by agents of the other
public services.
In Austria, according to the Neue
Freie Presse, the number of crimes
committed in the streets was twice as
great in the first qnarter of 1913 as
in the same period of 1917 The
Fremdenblatt Of April % says the ma
jority of these crimes are committed
by boys and girls between Is and 10,
and that even school children are
found among the bands of thieves
which infest the streets and stations.
In Vienna, as in Berlin, the police
force is insufficient to restore order.

able impression on all with whom he
