pARIS, March 4.-According to
neutral diplomat, who has
arrived in Paris as an observer
of the Peace Conference for
his Government, Germany is
seeking a way to prevent the
Allies from retaining her former
colonies and exploiting them for
raw materials. He told news
papermen to-day that a move
ment was on foot in Pan-Ger-
man circles to begin propa-
ganda among natives for upris-
ings throughout Africa.
The project resembles very
much the familiar old Teuton
bogey of "holy war" by the
Mohammedans against their Brit
ish and French protectors, but
this is to be a "holy war Of the
blacks" It is said that as Ger
many has no territory or natives
at stake she intends either to get
back her former possessions or
make them untenable for other
Europeans.
