Prince Lichnowsky evidently knew of
the conference Of July 5. 1911, at which
the Kaiser and his military chiefs de-

would lead to war. The prince, accord

"The Battle OF the Triangies"

\ CURIOUS geometrcal effect to be
= = observed in the Battle of Picardv
suggests that the great struggle be called
The Battle Of the Triangles."
For example, the German drive for
Amien5 started on line from Arras to
La Fere, which forms the base of a
major triangle of which Amiens is the
apex. Then, in the north, Cambria and
Monchy were similarly situated with re-
spect to Bapaume, which was the minor
objective of the German pincers In the
south, st. Quentin, La Fere and Ham
form another triangle from which the
great drive down the Disc originated.
Finally, in being DETECTED south of
Amiers, the German thrust at the end Of
two weeks had gained a stretch of terri
tory in the shape Of second great tri-
angle

lions, but was simply guilty of impru-
dence.
However, storm among the Junkers
caused more serious action. The extent
to which they were terrorized is shown,
says Mr.. Suydam, by the fact that the
Cologne "Volhszeitung," owned and pub
ilshed by the Pan-Germaa interests. re-
ports that the Prussian Minister Ct .Ius-
tee is thinking of prosecuting the prince.
Then, too, the prince has resigned his
rank, and has written letter of contra
d!ction-evidently under duress. More
over, he may be expelled from the Prus-
sian Diet.
According to Mr.. Suydam, however
the prince probably will not be prosecut-
ed, for the government is now imnnged
upon the horns OF what he terms one
of the most difficult political dilemmas of
the entire WAY. To ignore tire memoran-

the government in connection with the
forces Of hostilitics.' On the other hand,

arm the impression that the revelations
are true"

Paris railroad to Amiens However, the
thrust finally penetrated within four
miles of the railroad. and within about
ten miles of the city, both of which
speedily came under German shell fire.
BY days the battle proceeded some
what as follows: Eighth day: A fierce
battle over an eighty-mile front, with
great attack on Arras Ninth day: A
shift Of attack to the south. Tenth day:
Battle against the French around Mont
ddier most severe. Eleventh day: The
Allies strike back, the French particu-
larly making counter gains in the south.
Twelfth, thirteenth and fourteenth days:
A gradual lull in the battle, rain, spo-
radio counter attacks and gains by the
Allies, followed by fresh German con-
centrations and every sign Of an early
renewal of the German thrust for
Amiens in full force.
During this period the Germans in
creased their claims of prisoners capt

Probably one hundred German divisions
had so far been engaged. with losses
fully double those of the Allies. General

Count Czerni17's Speech

A STRANGE note was added to the
chorus Of war during the week by
Count Czernln, Austro- Hungarian For
eign Minister. In a speech before the
Vienna Municipal Council he said that
just before the big offensive the Dual
Monarchy had been on the eve of peace
negotiations, but that the Entente had
held off. Hence, he said, the war must
be fought to conclusion on the battle
field.
