Won .Jagow Now Blames
War on SubOrdinates
Says They Reported to Staff
Alleged French Invasion of
German Territory

PARIS, May 5.-The imaginary in
vasion of German territory by the
French was the preteXt for the declara-
tion of war on France, says Gottleib
Won Jagow, former German Foreign
Minister, in book just published, en-
titled "The Universal War, Its Causes
and Beginning" The alleged French
1ncurslons were reported to the Ger
man staff by subordinate officers. Won
Jagow says, and the staff communicated
the information to the government
without attempting to ascertain the
facts.
When the Austro- Hungarian Ambas-
sador in Berlin communicated to him
the text of the ultimatum to Serbia,
Won Jagow says he thought it's terms
were too rigorous.
Theodor Wolff, in the "Tageblatt. "
commenting on Won Jagow's version of
the interview he had with the Austrian
Ambassador concerning the ultimatum
to Serbia, says that after reading it he
IS more at loss than ever TO under
stand why the proposal made by Sir

ST LOUIS, May 5.-To perpctuate
the idea Of service to the nation-not
military, but civilian service for social
bettcrment is the fundamental prin-
ciplc upon which the proposed Ameri-
can Legion, composed of ex-service
men in the great war, expects to grow,
according to Lieutenant Colonel Theo-
dQre Roosevelt, one of the temporary
committee of founders, who arrived
here from New York tonight.
Colonel Roosevelt is here for the
caucus of delegates of the legion, to
be held on May s, 9 and 10. He is
wearing a civilian suit with broad
black band on one arm, sign of
mourning for his father and his broth
Ell Quentin.
To newspaper men he outlined the
purposes of the legion. being careful
always to make it plain that he ex-
pected the directing force of the
organization to come from the SO per
cent Of former enlisted men-the men
Of small means, as he phrased it, who
WOulQ De lne DulWark OIL the OrEanlZa-

This is not an officers organization
and it is not formed for any selfish
purpose" he said ''That is one of
the questions | hear most frequently
asked. People from all over the coun-
try are writing to the members of the
temporary committee asking about the
legion and its purposes. Until the
delegates formulate the platform and
the principles upon which the legion
will be formed there is very little we
members of the temporary committee
can say.
''From the letters which have been
coming in, however, | believe that the
desire to perpetuate that spirit of de-
votlon to America and American ideals
which carried the Americans forward
lrreslstlbly against the greatest OBJ
stacles, will continue to guide the
thoughts and actions of the men who
belong TO the legion.
''Ihe legion day is as clean as
a hounds tooth, and it is our desire
to keep it that way" he continued
We will embrace policics-not poll
ties. The question as to whether we
VIII take in any other organizations
or become affiliated with them is one

eide to take in one they will prob
ably decide to take in all, but it seems
that the men who Will make up the
legion will want to keep away things
which would narrow the broad con
