SAYS HE PLOTTED
ARCHDUKES DEATH

Camp Sherman, Ohio, March IL
Intelligence officers yesterday investl'
gated a story told by Private Frank
Hobel, twenty-seven, patient in the
base hospital, that he was one of the
four men who plotted the assassina-
ton of the Austrian archduke, Franz
Ferdinand, which plunged the world
into war.
Hobel says after the assassination
his father gave him $500 and advised
him TO leave the country.
According to Hobel's story, he trav-
eled at night overland until he
reached Constantipole. He took
passage for America and landed in
New York six weeks after Austria
had declared war on Serbia.
He went to Lorain, Ohio, where he
secured employment in steel mill.
When the United States came into the
war he was drafted and went to Camp
Sherman. He has been here since,
most of the time being spent in the
|hospital for treatment of tuberculosis.
Intelligence officers said today that
their investigation so far indicates
Hohe1 IS telling the truth.
Hobel was born in Boston.

Efforts of Erzberger to Bulldoze Al

Huns Position.

Brussels. March 1.-THE German
delegates have accepted all of Ad'
miral Sir Rosslyn Wemyss' naval con.
d;tions. gt
Berlin, March 17.-Now that a
final agreement has been reached by
the German and allied commissions
at Brussels and the blockade is partly
lifted, it is interesting to persue de
tailed accounts of the various stormy
armistice sessions at Spa and Treves,
just released for publication in Ger
man newspapers.
An interesting feature of the nego-
tiations is that the chairman Of the
German armistice commission insisted
that Alsace-L must be abso-
lutely regarded as German until the
decision of the treaty of peate."
The account also shows that the
chief weapon Erzberger tried to en-
ploy in the proceedings was the threat
of Bolshev;sm in Germany, against
which, he told Foch, seven the entente
countries are not invulnerable."
On various occasions DR.. Erzberger
launched into lengthy lectures on
"justice" and humanity" to which
Marshal Foch replied with heat that
he refused to accept either instruc-
tions or criticism from the German
commissioner. Repeatedly, too, Err
berger had to be reminded that the
war is still on.

Bernstorff Declares Signing of Food
Terms Does Not Indicate Germans
Will Accept Harsh Terms in End
ing War.


ing War.
Berlin, Mareh, 17.-"Signing by us
Of the food terms a. Brussels does
not necessarily mean that the peace
terms will be signed, Count Johann
Heinrich Won Bernstorf, former Ger
man Ambassador to the United States
said in an interview yesterday.
':It is too early" he continued, "to
know whether the signing of the food
terms will have any influence on the
desire in high quarters to refuse to
sign the. peace terms and adopt a
passive attitude of resistance to the
allies"
Judging from obviously inspired
articles in this mornings newspapers,
the German delegates are not likely
to sign. 1t is said on good authority
that the delegates will have powers
to refuse to sign the peace treaty and
will not have to refer to the govern
ment, but possibly they will have to
consult with the cabinet, which, in
turn, will consult with the party lead
ers in the national assembly.
President Ebert has said that he
foresees a possibility of the German
delegates not signing the peace terms
but that he personally does not think
the terms will be so hard as to pre-
vent German signature. Nevertheless,
he said, if the peace is not signed by
Germany, "it will lead to Bolshevism
in Germany and to movement among
German intellectuals to join the Rus
sian Bolshevists."

tiOn Unknown.
All alarm of fire was sounded about
ten O'Clock this morning, and for d
time the department supposed their
services were needed at the plant of
the Virginia Shipbuilding Company.
Il was subsequently learned that a
fire was raging at the works OF the
Broomilaw Brick Company, on the
north shore of Hunting Greek, a
short distance southwest of St. Mary's
Church Cemetery. The fire had gain
cd considerable headway before the
apparatus reached the scene, as the
ground was soft from the rains of
the past few days, which rendered To-
comotion difficult. The engines were
soth at work, however. and the fire
was kept from the offf,e buildings,
water was pumped from Hunting
Creek. The engine house, however,
was destroyed and much of the she'd
ding consumed.
Fortunately but little wind was pre-
vailing at the time which kept the
flames from spreading.
The loss could not be ascertaned.
nor could the origin of the fire be
learned.
