Geneva. A French-Swiss paper
gives the following version of sensa-
tional incident which has been told in
several forms:
Recently, two elegantly dressed men,
carrying heavy satchel, appeared at
the office Of the italian general staff
in Rome and demanded an audience
with the chief of the intelligence de-
partment. When they were received
by this official they made sensational
disclosures and delivered all the doc
uments of the Austro-Hungarian es-
piOnage bureau in Zurich.
The men were two notorious Italian
burglars, who were known and feared
from one end of the kingdom to the
other. When the war broke out they
were called to the colors and detailed
to the same regiment. Life in the
trenches did not suit them and they
decided to desert. They escaibed to
Switzerland and settled in. zurich,
where they piled their old trade with
considerable success.
Turn Abilities to Use.
Regretting their desertion, the bur-
glars decided to use their abilities in
the interest of their country by "clean-

Driving Enemy Out of France.

Washington, June 28.-The epochal
landing of American troops in France
cannot be fully discussed at this time
for obvious reasons concerning the

the general and his staff have been
arranging ever since they landed on

To Be Independent Command.
The American troops will be an
entirely Independent command just as
are the British troops, working, OF
course, with the French at the head
of operations as they are on French
soil. When the troops have had their
period of preparation behind the lines
they will take place on the battle
front to be arranged by General
Pershing, in consultation with the 9th.

ably very soon will be carrying the
Stars and Stripes in the assaults which
steadily are driving the Germans out
of France and Belgium.
To Have Moral Effect.
The successful landing, while q
source of great qualification to Off
Gals here, viewed from the point of
being military operation, is regarded
with added significance for it's moral
effect in Germany.

LLOYD GEORGE DECLARES ,NDEM,
MITES TO PREVENT FUTURE
WARS ARE ESSENTIAL,
IN SPEECH.
PEACE is POSSIBLE NOW
ONLY AT KAISER'S PRICE
British Premier Says Germany Wants
Economic and Other Control Over
Invaded Nations-Asserts Rus
STA Will Become More
Formidable.

Glasgow, June 30.-Peace without
victory would constitute the greatest
disaster in the history of mankind.
1ndemnities constitute an essential
part Of the mechanism OF civilization
everywhere and insure future peace.
MesOpOtamia can never be restored
to the Turks because of their blasting
tyranny. The same holds true of Ar
menia.
Must Fight to End.
The Allies must fight on until the,
have reached the end they set out to
attain when they accepted Germany's
challenge to civilization.
Ta,se are some of the salient state
ments made here by Premier Lloyd
George in discussion of questions of
peace.
Early Peace Disaster.
In discussing the question of peace
Premier Lloyd George said that if the
war should be concluded a single hour
before the Allied powers reached the
end they set out to attain at the be-
ginning of the war it would be the
greatest disaster that ever befell man
kind.
Without indemnities," the prime
minister went on, I'VE have no guaran-
tee against repetition of events"
For Democracy's Future.
Lloyd George predicted that the
Russian revolution would eventually
Insure victory of a higher and more
exalted nature than any one could have
contemplated before - because now
free people are fighting for democ-
racy's future
Russia will regain her strength
with bound and become mightier and
more formidable than ever" Lloyd
George asserted. although these
distractions had the effect of postpon-
Ing complete victory, they made VIC
tory more sure than ever, more COM
plete than ever, and, what is more i'm
portant, they made surer than ever
the quality of victory"
Can Have Peace at Enemy Price.
- No doubt we can have peace now
at price. Germany wants peace
even Prussia desires it. They said:
Give us some indemnity for the
wrongs we have DONE just little ter
ritory here and a little there and just
a few privileges in other directions and
we will clear out We are told that
If we are prepared to make peace now
Germany will restore the independence
Of Belgium. But who has said so?
No German statesman has ever
said he would restore the independ-
ence of Belgium. The German chan
cellor came very near to it, but all tie
junkers fell on him and he received
sound box from the mailed fist.
Germany Seeks Control.
mo doubt Germany wants peace"
declared the British premier in his
speech, "but it is a peace which
would give her economic and other
control over the countries which she
has invaded"

in the consulate quickly and without
much difficulty.
The safes, which contained the most
important documents, had compart-
ments filled with poisonous gases
meant to kill any burglar who might
dare to tamper with them.
Made Their Escape.
The burglars had learned this from
the former Italian naval officer, who
had turned against his Austrian en-
ployers and aided the burglars on the
promise of liberal reward. Procur-
ing masks like those worn by soldiers
in the trenches they were able to open
the compartments containing the dead
~ gases without danger to themselves,
Although they worked nearly two
hours, they were not disturbed. They
made their escape safely, but had diff
hculty in getting out of Switzerland,
and were compelled to wait many
weeks before they were able to smug-
gle the stolen documents across the
Italian frontier.
In February cable dispatch from
Berne reported that a burglary had
been committed for political reasons in
the Austro-Hungarian consulate general
in Zurich, and that the perpetrators
had not only ignored large sum Of
money which was in one of the safes,
but also left burglars tools valued at
more than $1,000 behind.
