C AMBON SHOWS GERMAN
ERRORS CONCERNING U. S.
French' Diploma t Declares Teutons Dclicicd So National Sentiment
Existed in This Country Overlooked Deep Idealivn
of Americans
' t
fly the Associated Press
raflrJTeb 3. Jules Cambon, rrench with the bulk of the popuHtlon, and.
nmhn.ss.irlnr at Berlin up to tno out'
tirnfc of the wfir. and now a member
of the Trench delegation to the Pence
Conference, has written an article ap
pearing In tho Itevuc den Deux Mondes,
entitled 'German Krrors Concerning the
United State-," which will appear later
as the Introduction to a history of tho
United States written by rrofcsor Tar
rand, of Yale University. M. Cambon'a
article sajs.
Germany has made not a few funda
mental errors concerning the United
States The ftret was to believe that
no true national sentiment existed In
the country, to feel that a democracy
composed of elements comlnc from all
quarters of the globe, without traditions,
would be unable to constitute a homo
geneous whole.
Qerman Illusion was also based on
tho manifestation of love that some.
Americans of Germanic stock dlsplajed
for the country of their origin In or
der to maintain nlleglancc to the mother
country tho Delbrueck law had allowed
Germans to ncqulre a double nationality
and tn be naturalized America citizens
without serving their bonds to the
fatherland I mill) the brother of the
lhnpcror himself, Prince Henry of Prus-
ula crossed the Atlantic to mingle with
German societies established In America.
"Doubtless there were a certnln num
ber of Americans of German origin who
remained faithful to the fatherland, but
tbelr number was small, as compared
Viesldcs, public feeling would not have
tolerated among American cituens anv
acknowledgment of past loyalty, which
would hive been considered an act of
treachery.
'Germany has made the same mis
take concerning tho principles of the
American foreign policy, which for many
jears rested on Washington's farewell
message. In which ho advled his coun
tr)men to stay carefully out of alliances
with European Powers But what Wash.
Ington wanted was to gain time for his
country to reach the point whero It would
bo tho master of Its future."
Another error pointed out by M. Cam
bon on the part of the Germans was In
having overlooked 'the deep Idealism of
tho joung American soul." The Ger
mane, ho sajs. "wero struck only by
tho economic development of the coun
try, and did not believe In the sincerity
of tho generous feelings among thoso
republicans, whose traditions, however,
were religious traditions "
M Cambon refers to die, fact that al
though religion Is not a State affair In
Ameslca. most ceremonies are opened
and closed with prajcrs This practlco
he attributes to the eager Inspiration
such as Reward referred to when he said
during the Civil War.
"There Is a higher law than the Con
stitution Itself"
"It Is that higher law that Germany
did dot credit to America," Jr. Cambon
concludes "Doubtless Germany herself
did not know It "

OFFICIAL VIEWS CLASH
Lunrcac Says French Lacked
Means to Make Iron Basin
Untenable
fly the Associated Press
1'arln, Feb, 3. "That is nil politics,
nnd I am not a politician," Marshal
Joffro declared to Tarls newspaper cor
respondents concerning his views on tho
statement made In tho Chamber of Dcpu
tics Friday night by former Trcmlcr
Vlvlanl, that tho French army, then
under command of Marshal Joffrc, had
been withdrawn on July 30, 1914, eight
or ten kilometers from tho frontier In
order that the French Government might
demonstrnto that Its attlude was not
hostile.
Tho Matin calls the discussion con
cerning tho withdrawal, which nffected
tho Iron basin of tho Brlcy, tho "Brley
enigma "
Marshal Joffre said he had carried
out his duties fully under all circum
stances nnd that lie Is drawing up n
plain historical statement of what had
been dono under his direction, which
would contain the truth as established
by documcnls
General Lanrczac who commanded
the Fresh Fifth Armv nt the outbreak
of tho war, told thc Petit Journal that
the cvacdatlon of tho Brlcy region had
never been decided upon In advance nnd
that want of material means nlono pre
vented tho French staff from making
the basin untenable for tho Germans.
General Nlvcllc, who at one time was
In command at Verdun, tho nearest
point held by the French to Brlcy, In
formed tho Matin that, when ho was at
Verdun In 1D1G, tho French were 25
miles from Brley, which wna out of
range of thc French guns A few nlr-'
piano raids wero made on Brley, but
they hid little Important result. At
that time, the general added, tho Ger
mans were working tho metallurgical
plants In that region
In an article In the Matin, General
M.sslmy, who was Minister of War nt
thc outbreak of the war, conttibutes nn
article corroborating tho statements
made In the chamber by M. Vlvlanl.
Former Premier Vlvlanl Slid tint the
withdrawal from the Brley Valley, which
Is an Important Iron region, had been
decided upon by the general staff In
July, 1914. and that when thc govenii
ment decided to move back thc French
troops, having heird that the Germans
were moving toward thc frontier, Gen
eral Joffre raised no objection.
Thc former Premier ndded that both
General Joffre and Minister Messlmy had
declared that, for diplomatic reasons, It
was nccessiry that no Incidents occur
at the frontier.

Coblem, Feb. 3 Information reach

every Infantry, artillery and cavalry1
regiment which was part of the Ger
man standing army In July, 1914, con
tinues In existence, except some. Alsace
Lorraine regiments which were dis
solved. These regiments, the reports
agree, are mere skeleton organizations,
possibly only a few numbering more
than 1000 men each.
Reserve regiments, whose organiza
tions existed prior to the war, though
they were not then In active sen Ice,
apparently continue to exist. A few of
these reserves are reported to have been
dissolved, but many are being Identified
from day to day In their normal depots
The new formations of reserves and
the higher numbered regiments created
subsequent to July, 1914, are being dis
banded, and the '99 class Inen have been
transferred to active rrglments. The
Landwehr regiments of the low-numbered
series are still In evidence.
It Is reported that Von Hlndenburg
Is planning to use some or all ot the
1919 class against the Bolshevists In the
east. The 1919 class has had expectations
of being released conditionally this
month. Many of these men, who are
living on the left bank of the Rhine with
their families, have recently been noti
fied that their class would be 'held In
service until further notice.

T
HE DUO-ART resembles a player
piano only in appearance.
It is as far superior to a player
piano as the player-piano is to the
ordinary piano.
It is an advanced type of musical
instrument far beyond the realm of popu
lar imagination.
Even after you have heard it you
doubt if it is really true. The Duo-Art is
almost super-human.
It will actually play as Harold Bauer
plays. It will play the very selection that
Bauer plays. It is as truly Bauer as when
you actually hear Bauer at a concert. You
do hear Bauer.
Words fail in description you must
hear the Duo-Art to appreciate its powers,
Come in and let us play it for you.
Prices are from $975 up.
