GERMANY FINANCIAL WRECK, SAYS VIVIAN! Continued from Pago One In Prance's situation I The first three months of the war of 1870 saw our armies at Sedan and Metz prisoners, another army at Paris Invested In oil over 400,000 men. "Tho -world believed Frnnco crushed. But 10 years after the war, at tho Uni versal Exposition, sho showed the world tho spectacle of a reborn country France faced her problems squarely, resolved to salve her most arduous Interior political questions. She retained her Ideals of fra ternity and liberty. She applied them to her eoclal laws. She guaranteed her In dependence both by obligatory military service and by International alliances and ententes, which German diplomatic du plicity often tried without success to undo. "Then came this war which Germany craftily prepared, then unchained. If Germany really loved peace sho might hive had It simply by accepting pour parlers at London. July 25. or two days later by accepting the Czar'a call to Tho Hague Tribunal, or, on July 31, Great Britain's call to suspend military prep arations In view of negotiations at Lon don. France and Russia adhered to all these pacific nttempts, but Germany de clared war. She had been mobilizing for 10 days. GERMANY EXPECTED DISCORD. "Germany has sadly miscalculated. She realizes It now. Without speaking of countries other than my own, Germany expected discords and dissensions. What she ran against was an immovable block without factions, without divergences. Every son of France took up arms rich, poor. Socialists, conservatives, free think ers and Catholics alike. "Today France'fl policy continues to be what. In the name of tho Government, It was stated to be on December 2: " 'War without mercy.' We aro unani mous on this point. We are unanimous In declaring that we will not accept any but a victorious peace for all the Allies. Tho united pact of September 4 has our denature, and for us a treaty is not a scrap a paper. Our armies arc intact. They have checked the German torrent. "What was Germany's flrBt objective point? Paris. She failed to win It. Then she tried Dunkirk and then Calais. She left 200,000 cadavers on the Yser, but she did not pass. The same thing hap pened at Nancy and at Verdun. Ger many was thrown aside. Her military power Is hard hit. Economically she is ruined. An Implacable blockade Is draw ing tighter and tighter about her. De spite all precautions she has taken to conceal the truth, I can assure you that her financial and economic rout Is com plete. If her cities which tourists visit retain the appearances of prosperity, It Is to the detriment to the country dis tricts, which aro being famished In order to put up appearances before the outside world. "France's economic and financial sit uation la normal despite the enormous expense Imposed by the war. We lack nothing. The Allies will fight It out to the bitter end. Let there be no doubt about that. For our children we wish to end once for all the peril of war en gendered by military caste, which In Ger many has carried all classes before It. FOR BELGIAN INDEPENDENCE. "We will destroy this breeding place of perpetual discord between peoples. We are battling for the right. We da not lsh to make slaves of any one. We will restore Belgian independence. "We will reunite the French family separated by the mailed fist 4 years ago. "We wish to bo free. We will be." Premier Vivian!

PARIS, Feb. 2fi. France has Just taken Up tho most delicate task that has yet boon Imposed on It In tho present war. This Is tho determination not only to savo tho lives of tho babies who aro to bo borno by Frerreh women ns a result of tho Germnn Invasion, but to offer oxer possible help and protection to tho mothers themselves. The Government la especially anxious to prevent Infanticide. So Important Is tho subject considered that recently several meetings of the Cabinet haxo been devoted to it exclu sively. Complete plans have now been porfected not only for cnrlng for both the babies nnd tho mothers, but for seeing to It that tho latter aro advised amply In advance of what Is to bo done for them, so that they may at least bo re lieved of a certain portion of tho mental anxiety nnd distress that otherwise would attend tho birth of the Infants. Since 1S93, when Frnnco first realized that her actual existence was being threatened by tho decrease In her birth rate, a large number of laws have been passed for tho protection of women In un fortunate circumstances. All of tho benefits of these laws havo now Just been made applicable to all of the women whose condition Is now giving cause for concern In nddltlon, a num ber of measures have Just been perfected especially for these cases In view. In tho first place, tho prospective moth ers nro to havo all of the medical help necessary at the expense of the State They are to bo relieved of complying with all the existing regulations which govern the birth of a child In France, nnd the State Is to undertake tho duty not only of relieving the mother at once of the cans of the child, but of concealing In ovoiy posslblo way every possible trace of tho origin of the child. While tho mother Is thus relloved of all duty and obligation as to tho child's future, the State nlso will pledge Itself, in addition to caring for tho child, to maintain records of Identity that will enable tho mother at any time in tho future, should she ever care to do so, to reclaim her baby. In tho few months that will yet elapse, before It will bo necessary to havo re course to these measures, tho State will make every effort posslblo to get In touch with tho women to whom they will be applicable and secure their promises to accept this solution of the misfortune which the war has brought upon them.

Third Arrest in Plan to Send Reservists Homo by Means of Fraudulent Passport Made in Hoboken Today Ob tained False Certificate. NEW YORK, Feb. 25, Federal Court olTlclals today Dimmed to risk tho State Department at Washington to Investigate tho connection of Captain Boy-Ed, German naval attache at Wash ington, with tho second caso of fraudulent obtaining of passports within two months. Unable to probe tho attache's caso locally, tho otnclnls hero believed that tho Secretary of Htate should obIc his recall. A third arrest In the caso was made to day. Itlchard Madden, cmploje of a Ho boken danco hall, who Is said to havo secured tho birth certificate, under Mad den's name, for Itlchard Stengler, was arrested by special agents of the Depart ment of Justice at Hnbokon. Madden was arraigned this afternoon before Federal Commissioner Houghton nnd hold for tho Federal Grand Jury In tho sum of J15.000 ball. Ho was committed to Jail In default of bond. After his arraignment Madden declared that ho had never meant to conspire against tho Government. Ho declared that somo men In Hoboken hod told him that ho could get a good Job If ho secured his birth certificate, and with It pro cured an American passport for use In foreign countries. He got tho passport, ho said, but never received anything for his effort. This second conspiracy was disclosed last night by tho nrrest of Itlohard rotor Stegler, a member of tho German naval rosorve, who lives at 23 St. Nicholas avenue, and Gustav Cook, a waiter. Letters that passed between Stegler and tho naval attache, It Is said, show that tho latter defrayed, or was willing to defray, the expanses Incidental to tho Issuance of the passports. ThN charge was omphatlcally denied by Captain Boy-Ed. "It is true that I know sllghtl this man, Stegler," Captain Hoy Ed said, "but that is the extent of my knowledgo of this matter. I know noth ing of what you say about passport fraud, or of anv attempt to Bond Gorman reserv ists back to the Fatherland Impropeilv." That tho now attempt to violate tho passport laws progressed no further thiui the Issuance of one passport Is due, tho Federal authorities say, to tho fact that Stcglcr's young bride, formerly Miss Annotto Pope, of Atlanta, Ga., Induced him to confess.
