The_ accused | entered the somewhat novel 'excuse ; he followed the procedure:in or- to raise money for payment of a . fine, imposed in court some two months ago,-when he was convicted of violating the motor vehicle law in having .charge of a machine without lights. “There is no excuse for your conduct,” commented Judge Kirkham. Byko pleaded hard for leniency, al- most breaking into tears at one time and eloquently promising what he weuld do in following the stright and narfow path hereafter, if leniency should be shown, < $ "Byko admitted getting ' the' metsl while out working' for Shurberg, lay- ing it aside with thé intention of us- ing the money to pay for thé former fine.

He contended that his regular i customers were served with bottles § and that higregularly used wagon was i properly marked. Dr. Burdett D. ¥ Radcliff, meat, food and milk inspect- or of the health board, testified that “ the accused was found on East street last Tuesday selling milk from cans afd that one of them was uncovered and could receive dust and other for- elgn material. He testified that the delivery wagon was not properly marked and that the accused had been previously warned against such procedure. The accused denied having received previous warning, said procedure was only on€ of an emer- l"m type and the milk sold below ket price because it was.surplus for making cheese. He was pened that future violations will it more .severe pumishment. 4 'Modern cavemen receive no len- Yency at the hands of.

Potash sald that he interferéd when Zember attacked Mrs. Zember. The latter contended that Zember*will not work, that she works every day, earns’ fair money, but he wants her to sup- port him. This, she said, she is un- willing to do. A jail sentence of fif- teen days“with fine of $2Q and costs ‘was imposed on Zember despite his protestations that he was not to blame, works steadily, and wants to hold his present steady job. He said that he does the “best he can under the cir- cumstances” and pleaded for lenien- In the Clutches of Rum. | One of the most powerful tefmper- ance lessons preached in court for many 'a day was that of William Sod- ergren of 125 Smalley street, who ! pleaded guilty to charges of intoxi- lcltlon. but not guilty to assault charges. “Liquor has caused all my trouble,” he earnestly pleaded, a pris- oner appearing hardly more than a boy, but reputed to be one of the cleverest painters in the city. “Don't sive me jail,” he continued, *“but do j-omethlng to stop my drinking and longing for liquors.” His plea was pathetic in many ways and more ef- fective than many heard. Six months at the state farm for inebriates at Norwich was averted by the heart- broken and. tearful plea of his mother !to court officlals, although they an- ,nounced the belef that the sentence would be the most effective in bring- ing abput the desired results. Attor- ney A. A. Greenberg made a plea for the accused and asked for bonds on an appeal. The amount was set at $350 with previous probation of $17.42 fine and costs for intoxication, im- posed May 1, revoked. Shortly fol- lowing the adjournment of court, fol- lowing pleas of the mother for len- fency, the sentence.was changed to| two months in jail with suspended sentence and probation pending good behavior. Sodergren promised ear- nestly to meet the expectations of those who trust his reformation is l permanent. He was originally held under sus- picion of being one of the three per- sons responsible for the “rolling” of I.I’ohn Broft of 32 Laurelvstreet for $40 at Smalley. and Laurel streets. Broff complained to Sergeant Georse X Kelly early yesterday that three men, one of whom he knew by mgh‘: hel but was ignorant as to name, FRATERNAL Lady Wallace Lodge, No- 24, D. of 8.

Attack on Andrezick Line, Enraged because, according to tes- timony, her husband’s pay had been attached in proceedings over an al- leged unpaid instaliment bill, . Mrs. Rosle Andrezick of 15 Laurel street, attacked Monjan Koweick of 33 Spring street, a collector; with a mop Satur- day afternoon, when he called at the tenement block to collect from an- other family. It cost her $5 and costs to express her indignation, arraign- ment on assault charges resulting in a convictlon. It was cldimed that she attacked the comlainant with the mop, fell when he wrested it from her hands, and then followed him into the yard, throwing a stone with such good aim that it seriously lacerated the back of his head. The defense claimed at Koweick hit ‘the ac- cused with the mop handle after he took it from her, called her bad names and otherwise abused her. The com- plainant, sufferng from lacerated and bleeding head, made complaint to Capt. T. W Grace at police headquar- ters, the patrol being sent out with Chauffeur Matthias Rival and: Police- man Anthony Bachman to investi- gate. Their reports were reyewed by Prosecuting.

This information discloses as one of the primary aims of the war a plan for consolidation of an impregnable military and economic unit stretching from the North sea to the Mediter- ranean, cutting Europe permarently in half, controlling the Dardanelles, the Aegean apd the Baltic, and eventu- ally forming the backbone of a Prus- sian world empire. In the light of German history the plan shows how implicity the kaiser has followed out the blood and iron politico-economic methods of Bis- marck for development of Prussian power. Considered in view of the present war map, it shows that the major portion of the kaiser's war pro- gram has been accomplished, regard- less of what disposition is made of conquered territory in France, Bel- gium and Russia. A full realization of this situation, which will form a sinister background for consideration of whatever renun- clation proposals the Imperial chan- cellor may make, adds new force to the repeated ‘declarations of allied statesmen that the German peace maneuvers are in reality war moves, and that a premature truce only would give Germany a.resting period which further to Prussianize and pre- bare for a greater world war in the territory to the southeast, which she has conquered under the guise of a friendly alliance, iAlthough officials have refrained from definite public expressions of ‘what the United States might demand as a ‘peace guarantee, these possibil- ities recall with recurring emphasis President Wilson’s declaration - that America would fight until “the world iz made safe for democracy.” ' They bring into relief Forelgn Minister Bal- four’s warning that hard fighting still must win the war, the conviction of the American genera] staff that the country must prepare for at least pre- dictions of an early peace have been discredited as visionary in virtually every allied capital. How minutely defined is the Ger- man plan and how accurately it is be- ing carried out have become fully ap- parent only with the opening up, dur- ing the last few woeks of several new avenues of information. The return of American diplomatic agents from the Central empires, the visit of the British and French war missions, de- tailed confidentia]l reports of there- cent frank expressions in the Reich- stag and in the German press, and the deductions of alert American agents abroad watching the newest - peace moves, have supplied the explanation of more than one hitherto obscured feature of the German policy. In her southeastern conquests, it is now apparent, Germany has followed almost in toto the long-established plan of the Pan-German league, whose propaganda had been regarded outside of Germany as the harmless activity of extremists, too radical to be taken seriously. Coupled with this plan, as an instrument of economic consolida- tion, the German officials have used with only slight modifications the sys- tem of customs union expansion which aided in former years to extend her domination over the other German states now making up the emp’rc. . Propaganda Begins in 1911. As early as 1911 the Pan-German league is sald to have circulated a definite propaganda of conquest, with printed appeals containing maps of a greater Germany whose sway from Hamburg \to Constantinople and then southeastward through Asiatic Turkey was marked out by boundaries vir- tually coincident with the military lines held today, under German offi- cers, by thé troops of Germany, Aus- tria-Hungary, Bulgaria, and Turkey. Adhesion of the German government itself to such a plan was not suspected by the other powers, although 'the propagandists were permitted to con- tinue their activities unhindered and to spread their appeals in, a country of strict press supervision through tho Pan German. Gazette and other radi- cal publications. How closely the German government did adhere to the plan in reality has been demon- strated clearly, it is considered now, by the course of the war. Following in the footsteps of Bis- marck, who used the Franco-Prusian war alliance to bring Baden, Bavaria, and Wurttemberg into the German oconfederacy and then into the German empire, Emperor Willilam chose war as the means of establishing the broad pathway to the southeast, which was essential for realization of the dream of a great Germany. The subjugation of Austria-Hungary which would have presented a difficult task under ordinary conditions, be- came in the circumstances compara- tively simple. A polygiot combination of states having little in common and apparently held together only by the decaying genius of the aged Em- pepor Francis Joseph, the dual mon- archy was regarded everywhere as on the verge of dissolution. Her help- lessness before Russia’s armies be- came apparent early in the war, and the eagerness with which Germany in | seized the opportunity thus presented 1 is pointed to as emphasizing the far- | sightedness of the. Gérman plans. Austria-Hungary’'s submission now is declared to be compléte both in a military and economic sense. The German officers commanding her ‘urmies, abetted by political and in- | dustrial agents scattered through the country by Germany, evidently are holding the Austrian and Hungarian populations in a union which neither the hardships of war, the death of the emperor nor the inspiration. of outside influences such as the Russian revolution can break. Bulgaria’s declaration of war on the side of Germany was actuated by a German diplomatic coup which in itself is regarded now as a further evidence that a clear road through to the Dardanelles was considered in Berlin as a primary and’ imperative purpose of the war.. It is'pointed out that the only concrete cause for ac- tion set iorth in the Bulgarian war proclamation’ is that “the Central powers have promised us parts or Ser- bia, creating an Austro-Bulgarian border line”” Creation of such a junc- tion, now well established by the Aus- tro-German-Bulgarian armies, breaks down a hitherto formidable barrier to German expansion southeastward. In the case of Turkey, German dom- ination is believed here to be even more complete than in Austria-Hun- ry or Bulgaria. Not only have Ger- man officers led in defending Turk- ish territory and in eradicating inhar- monious elements such as the Ar- menians and Syrians, but it has been learned that -German industrial or- ganizers have taken a firm grip on Turkish industry and e farge delega- tion of Gerinan professors has been sent to spread German kultur among the population. These developments throw a new light on many events before the war. Among them is the long-unexplained declaration of Emperor Willlam at Damascus in 1898 that all Moham- medans might confidently regard the German emperor as “their friend for- ever.” There also is a complete un- derstanding now of Germany’s cont cession for the Bagdad railroad, an artery of communication now indis- pensable to the German operations. Fitting in squarely with an actuat- ing desire for conquest to the south- east is the general German military policy during the entire war. It is noted that even at the ense of re- cessions on the /eastern and western fronts, Germany has taken pains to overrun quickly Serbia, Montenegro, and Rumania, and to keep in check all allled attempts to strike at the southeastern pathway from the Dar- danelles or Saloniki. Not until the Rpresent British advance in Asiatic Turkey has there been any serious danger to any part.of the greater stretch from the Baltic to the Per- slan Guif. Battle of Eoconomics. In consolidating this territory it is revealed,, the economic elevent has been given a conspicuous place. This work was going on before the war, al- though it had not reached a maturity comparable with the economic effort by which Prussia bound the German States in the customs union of 1828 forty years before she brought them under the empire. A comprehension ‘of the present danger prompted the allied economic conference at Paris, where plans were made for meetifng the German trade war after the war. It is problematical to officials here how far Germany might go, ' should peace be made naw with renunciation of all territory on the east and west, in political consolidation of the great ' territory in the southeast. It is pointed- out that any German peace offer would be expected to demand at least some expansion for Bulgaria and 6 TO 9 O’CLOCK STEAKS 3 SUGAR ...

That it is the intention to bring Austria-Hun- gary, Bulgaria, and Turkey into a customs union, Germanizing their industries ,and to surround the whole economic entity thus established with a formidible tariff wall,. has' been made clear by the declarations of Friedrich Naumann and other ex- ponents of an ecébnomic mittel Europa. Some influential men of this group even have suggested that Germany ga 8o far as to be a joint chancellery for Germany, Austria, and Hungary to conduct . foreign affairs. All this is takbn as revealing the Jpoint of a ' premature peace which 'should _leave the German south- eastern domains unbroken. It is re- garded as Elving ‘a sinister color to recent movements for a separate peace for Austria-Hungary or Buigaria in the region where German conquest is most safe, to- the eagerness with which German leaders have taken up the cry of “no annexations” so far as the great northern powers are con- .cerned, to the German chancellor’s re- cent Refchstag speech indicating that the government was not yet ready to renounce its ' territorial gains ‘in France, Belglum and Russia “while all other matters are left in suspense.” Any renunciation of territory, it is ex- pected, would exclude Poland; which ‘would be made a “free” state under the German plan, but would remain wholly junder German domination. The turn of affairs is accepted, too, as to bringing Austria-Hungary more clearly into relief ‘as the area of possible operatidons to impose a barrier between Berlin and Constantinople.
