AHEAD OF TREATY

A rush to get their pc measures
passed before they are sidetracked
by the peace treaty was begun by
Senators today.
Once the treaty is before the Sen
ate, other measures will have little
chance, Senators realize.
Senator Lodges determination to
take up the treaty Monday caused
supporters of the bill extending the
food control act to make desperate
efforts to get II passed today.
A strong fight is being made against
this measures by Senators. who declare
that the Government has had all nee
essary authority to cope with prof
iteering right along, and has not
made use of il.
Much other pending legislation,
most of il of minor Importance, is
sure to be sidetracked for the time
being by the treaty.
Senator Lodge said today his plans
for discussion Of the treaty include q
reading of the document just as bills
are read in the Senate. and the dis
position of proposed amendments as
they are reached. Though no set
speeches on amendments have yet
been announced, many are in pros
pect Most of them will come from
Democrats who want the amendments
beaten.
Lodge today predicted that no trou-
ble will be experienced in compromis-
ing the differences of mild" reserva-
tionists and the more radical element
with regard to Article X.
I'VE will get together" he said.
There is plenty of time for that"

acres OF land in Australia, which was
to be conquered, and a loan Of $780,

PARIS, Sept. 12.-Further evidence
that the ex-Kaiser plotted a war OF
world conquest as far back as 1912 is
revealed in a secret document, written
Z during the latter part Of 1917, a copy
Of which was found in Brussels and
made public here. The document
hears the signature Of ''Thyssen." one
OF Germany's industrial kings before
the war.
Thyssen, a victim of the war ma
chine, reveals Wilhelms plans in a
zfew words. The memorandum, sup
posedly written to a friend, starts by
fStating that the Kaiser thought a war
necessary "soon" In order that Ger
many might accomplish the mastery
of the world"
ConRded In Financicrs.
Two years before war actually oc-
curred, according to Thyssen, the
Kaiser met a number OF Germany IS
leading financiers and industrial gen
fuses and confdentially explained his
plans to them. The ruler then prom
1Sed that a war would open up TO
Germany a new era Of prosperity and
ssRed them for their wholc-hcarted
support, the document alleges.
Thyssen admits that he was fascina-
ted with the scheme proposed by the
ex-Kaiser and Immediately promised
The Washington times., 1919-09-12

his talks. Thyssen declares. with a
mixture of threats and promises.
He among you who refuses to help
the state in view of carrying out our
plans is traitor" the Kaiser de-
clgred at ono time. while at another
meeting Wilhelm promised that He
who will be with US may expect a
large reward" according to Ihyssen'
Thought War Would Last Year.
The Kaiser believed. according TO
Tbvsscn's letter, that the war would
last a year at the longest, and that
the victory would be decisive. In
1916. however, two years after the
outbreak OF the war, with decision
still unassured, Bethmann-H HollWeg,
few weeks before his fall, called
another meeting OF the group. he
asked them for a new war loan OF
400. .OOO. 900 marks, threatening that II
thew did not comply with the request,
their contracts TO supply war ma
tcrial to the state would be canceled.
Thyssen's name appeared on the list
for 100000 marks. He refused 10
lend it to the government and I'M
mediately was deprived Of his con-
tracts, he says. They were torn 10
pieces in front of his face. The other
inanciers at the meeting, fearing
similar treatment, Immediately COM
piled with Bethmann-Hol de-
mands. The war loan was put across
with patriotic enthusiasm and full
confidence" the official communique
stated.
1t is expected that Thyssen, If he
can be secured, will be used to testify
al the trial of the ex-Kaiser, should
l. ever occur.
