"The threatened coup d'etat would bo
carried out In Berlin alone," ho writes,
"and would, probably for a time be sue
cessful, although It would certainly re
ult In ruthless civil war and unscrupu
lous political murders. A large number
of officers are said to be associated In
Oifi plot, which alms at tho overthrow
ofj the present government and tho
restoration of tho old order of things.
?'A secret meeting of monarchist offi
cers was held at Charlottcnburg on Feb

self to hold In his residence a quantity
of, munitions ready for an emergency
and to assemble at a certain place when
cabled upon. Every member of tho plot
has been requested to enlist aa many
officers loyal to the former Emperor as
possible, It la understood. The govern
ment has been warned of what Is go
lnfr on."
The correspondent says the organiza
tion of new bodies of troops by the gov
ernment, a step which alone crin save It
from the Spartacans and other extrem
ists, haa been possible only by reason
of the government yielding to the old
officer classy which, he says, "lias al
ready bullied tho go eminent Into wink
ing at numerous political crimes and
arbitrary acta which have been com
mitted." '

JUGOSLAV PART? PUNNED
Would Support Parliamentary
Monarchy as in Serbia
Wmililn-toii. Feb. 27. (Uy A. P.)
Political leaders of all stales of the new
Pugo-Slav kingdom, meeting at Sara
jevo, Bosnia, last week, adopted a res
olution favoring tho establishment of a
great Constitutional Democratic Jugo
slav party to embrace all parties of tho
kingdom In sympathy with its purpose.
A dispatch received from Belgrado
yesterday by the Ofllclal Information Bu
reau of the Kingdom of the Serbs, Groats
and Slovenes, said this party would sup
port organization of tho new Jugo-Slav
state upon the principle of constitutional
nnd parliamentary monarchy as estab
lished under tho present Serbian dynasty
with "centralized state legislation and
the broadest administrative local autonomies."

Will Insist on Division of
Fleet by Peace Con
ference OPPOSES SINKING PLAN
Britain Insists Teuton Vessels
Shall Not Be Used as
Armed Craft
By the Associated Press
Turin, Feb. 27. 'Tho French dele
gation to tho Peace Conference will
energetically oppose tho general sink
ing of the German fleet," says Stephane
Lauzannc, In tho Mntln. "Other powers
of course, may do what they like with
their share of tho fleet, but the French
Go eminent and navy Is firmly deter
mined to use the sh'ps which fall to
France when tho fleet Is divided up
among tho Allies In proportion to the
losses each suffered during tho war.
"Georges I.eygues, Minister of Ma
rine, clearly explained the reason for
this attitude to tho Navy Commlttco of
tho Chamber of Deputies recently. He
showed that France gavo up her dock
yard plants to make munition's at the
beginning of the war, stopp'ng all ship
building. She lost 15 per cent of her
naal tonnage nnd conies out of the
war with a weakened nay, which she
has been unablo to keep In repair for
llvo years.
"Franco needs a navy to pollco tho
seas nnd protect her colonial empire
the sccoritT largest In the world. What
would tho country say If, a year hence,
the chamber asked for a vote of credit
to build shlpt Identical with those
sunk? Tho most pacific nat ons In the
world havo navies and tho United
States has Just drawn up tho most
Important program cer otcd by tho
American Congress."
London, Feb. 27. (Uy A. I'.) Baron
Islington In tho House of Iords ester
day called attention to the press report
that tho Paris Conference was contem
plating tho sinking of all the German
naai ships now In British custody nt
Scapa Flow nnd asked tho government
If there wero any possibility of this
project being carried out.
Tho Carl of Lytton, Parliamentary
Secretary of the Admiralty, replying In
behalf of the government, said that this
question was of the utmost Interest, but
offered difficulty. Tho suggestion that
these German ships should bo taken out
to sea and sunk would only be carried
out If the rcpresentatlvea of tho nations
nssembled nt Paris came unanimously
to the conclusion that this course was
on tho whole tho best ono that could bo
adopted.
They had no nuthorlty to dlscloso
what Information had been gUen to the
British delegates, but he rould say that
tho British Government attached oer
whelming Importance to the point that
these ships should not In tho future
form any part of the naval armament
of the world nnd that they should not
be added to the Meet of any nation.
That was a question of policy on which
the government felt very strongly.
If theie ships were not again to bo
used as ships of war, he continued, there
icmnlned only three possible ways of
Iisp6slng of them: First, they could bo
taken out to sea and sunk; second, they
could be broken up, and, third, they
cou'.d be put up at public auction and
sold to the highest bidder, under condi
tions as to their future use. It was
simply and solely nn economic proposi
tion whether it would pay to break up
these ships and uso tho material In
them for other purposes. If that could
bo done, ho had no doubt thnt the con
ference would decide that they should bo
bo used. But the matter was one for tho
conference to decide.

and wide, cutting down overhead by --eliminating the necessity for tank
cars and locomotives, so every American Store forms a link in the chain

unnecessary expense just one small margin between the cost of produc
tion and your table.
This is the answer as to why our prices are always in line with
market changes and why your living costs less at an American Store,
quality considered, than anywhere else.
