If the German people, could have been whipped to further sacrifices and the Ger-) man army could have been held under forced discipline, he might still be trying to compel the world to give him al “peace of justice.” / That feeling cannot be escaped in reading his book, “My Thoughts and Actions,” the text of which will be printed in The Star beginning Monday. In this volume the chief German militarists, the man who was practically die Germany in the last two years of the war, gives} to humanity an inside revelation of that ruthless worship of force which successively surprised, startled, frightened and then steeled civilization.

RUSS IN REVOLT SAVED HIM IN 1917 That, and the coming of America into the war—a factor he dismisses with the fewest possible words—brought such troubles into his forces that he had to carry on @ great jEpeaseee to stir up national feeling both at the front and at home.

Higgins, attorney for the defense, “and we had a mis- |understanding about my testimony before the grand jury. He got angry. 1 afterwards learned that some one had gone to Percy Thomas, county clerk, who employs me, and \stated several things I do not wish to state now.” | “Didn’t Fred Brown threaten you about your job?” |Higgins queried. s | “Not Brown, but Patterson, said that I would be a worse position than Joe Hensman, bailiff in Ju court, if I didn’t testify as he wanted me to.” Patterson took the witness over after Higgins had finished the cross examination.

Yet with his gas and an immense amount of guns and material he had taken in the Russian dissolution he hoped to force England and France to sue for peace because of their frightful losses. MEN FLED THE FRONT ALMOST IN DIVISIONS In the end he leaves no doubt that his army was beaten. His picture of its dissolution is more graphic and detailed than any that has yet come. Men fled the front almost in divisions. Officers could not enforce discipline. cers and their servants had to hold vital points to prevent disaster. tying men up at fixed places for long periods—was forbid- den by the Berlin authorities, because of protests at home.
