"AWAY WITH THE
HOHENZOLLERNS"
Slogan of French Deputy Like

Countries

Must Hohenzollerns
Give Up Power?
Th© House of Hohenzollern,
whose exclusion from the German
is beginning to be demand
ed in the countries of the Entente
Allies, has had princely or royal
power since the end of the twelfth
century. Great events in the his
tory of the Hohenzollerns have
been as follows:
1192 —Count Frederick, of Castle
Zollern, Swabia, becomes
Burgrave of Nuremberg.
1420—Burgrave of Nuremberg
made Elector of Branden
burg.
1701—Elector of Brandenburg
crowned King of Prussia.
1871—King of Prussia crowned
German Emperor.
Paris, Aug. 4. Joseph Reinach, a
well-known deputy, launches in the
Figaro yesterday what, in the opinion
of many well-informed persons here,
Is likely to bocome the allied watch
word, "Away with the Hohenzollerns!"
"The Allies," says Reinach, "will
agree there shall be no treaty with
William of Hohenzollern or with any
member of his family. Unless I am
greatly mistakert, the question of the
Hohenzollerns will become more im
portant every day. It is too vague to
speak of destroying German militar
ism. German militarism is the house
of Hohenzollern, with its feudal
castes and all Its birds of prey.
"X have shown 20 times that the
war is the personal work of the Ger
man Emperor. Exactly when he be
gan to premeditate it even he does not
know.
"But it is a fact that he had taken
his stand November 6, 1913, when he
unbosomed himself to the Belgian
King about the necessity of war soon
and his certainty of success.
"It Is a fact that finally, as the ac
complice of Austria's ultimatum to
Serbia, the Kaiser's own hand abfclish
ed all chance of peace. He refused
the conference proposed by England
and the arbitration of The Hague of
fered by the Czar, and declared war
on Russia at the very moment when
the Vienna Government had welcom
ed Petrograd's proposals. And this
though every pretext had vanished.
"Since the drive through Belgium
failed and his bright dream of victory
vanished; since the German nation
rises hungry and bears the hatred of
the world; while the horizon is low
ering with menace, the German Em
peror is afraid and says 'I willed it
not.'
"Then who did will It? His feudal
chiefs, his junkers, the Crown Prince
and his Agrarians willed it, too, but
the Germany of the Hohenzollerns is
no aristocracy, oligarchy or demon
racy. There is one lord and master,
the Hohenzollern, the Emperor. It
Is he who willed, who ordered, who
began this war. He is the master
assassin. British Premier Asquith
has said this in solemn declaration
before the House of Commons.
Over a year ago in the verdict on
the Lusitania the jury at Kinsale pro
nounced guilty of wholesale murder
the officers of the submarine, the Ger
man Government and the Emperor of
Germany. All those generals, those
officers, those soldiers are only his
fcools and accomplices.
"We will not make our peace a
mere truce between two slaughters.
We will insure the future of free peo
ples. But with him who premeditated,
willed and ordered all these crimes,
one does not negotiate with him. One
Judges."
Teutons Are Struggling
Fiercely to Save Remnants
of Surrounded Armies
London, Aug. 4. Terrific fighting
continues along almost the whole of
the four hundred miles of the Eastern
front, where the fate of Lemberg and
Kovel is being decided. The Germans
in desperate counter-attacks and
fierce hand-to-hand struggles for their
trenches struggled to save the cities,
or at least the remnants of the armies
which have been defending them. The
Russians apparently are now aiming,
not only for the cities, but for the cap
ture of the greater part of the 300,000
men under Bothmer and Linsingen,
who have been outflanked and almost
cut off from support.
The desperation of the Teutonic
situation is shown by the announce
ment in Berlin and Vienna that Gen
eral Von Hindenburg, the nero of the
Mazurain Lakes and the most cele
brated of all the German generals, has
been put in command of the entire
thousand-mile long battle line. The
section in the north over which he
has had command is the only one not
now reeling back from the Russian
blows, and the two Kaisers hope that
hia name and experience will stiffen
the beaten armies.
Hope to Save Austrians
Undoubtedly this is primarily an
effort to restore some kind of order
out of the Austrian chaos. But military
men here point out, he cannot restore
the 800,000 Austrians and Germans
killed, wounded or captured in the
last two months, nor the hundreds of
guns which the Teutons have lost. Nor
can he wholly restore the habit of
victory, the confidence which is the
best defense of an army and which
has been utterly taken from the
Teutonic forces in their weeks of un
interrupted defeat.
Meanwhile the Germans continue to
use every ounce of energy in their
efforts to extricate the troops that held
the Stokhod line and Von Bothmer's
army on the Strypa. Though the Rus
sians forced the crossing the Strypa at
Gulveitchie four days ago and have
been reported well on then- way to
Kovel, desperate fighting is still going
on in the neighborhood of the town
This is the only real information con
cerning this battlefield contained in
the Russian statements to-day. Berlin
also tells of minor actions along the
Kovel-Sarny railway and near Brody
But a vigorous attack by Germans
far to the north of the Kovel-Lem
berg field, on the Vilna-Minsk Rail
way, is believed to be the first sign
of a plan by Hindenburg to attempt
to divert forces from the crumbling
Jlne by a threat elsewhere. This ut
lack was launched along the railway
tiear the town of Smorgon and was

Inexpensive: Mix a thick paste with

Great Britain Observes
Second War Anniversary
With Many Great Meetings
By Associated Press
London, Aug. 4. Every town and
village in the British isles as well
as places throughout the empire to
day observed the second anniversary
of Great Britain's declaration of war.
Meetings were held and resolutions
passed declaring a •'determination to
continue to a victorious end the strug
gle for the maintenance of those deals
of justice and liberty which are the
common and sacred cause of the
allies."
Three meetings have been arranged
for London. In the afternoon Sir
Francis Lloyd, general officer com
manding the London district, spoke to
4,000 wounded from the London hos
pitals. <
At the Mansion House, Lord Robert
Cecil, minister of war trade; Prof.
Paul Painleve, French minister of
public Instruction and inventions con
cerning national derense, and Emlle
Vandervelde, a Belgian minister of
State, delivered addresses. Afterwards
a local memorial of Field Marshal
Earl Kitchener, who loat his life In the
sinking of the cruiser Hampshire was
unveiled.
The big meeting was reserved for
the evening when the Earl of Derby
under-secretary of war, will preside.
Premier Asquith and A. Bonar Law,
secretary of the colonies and others
will make addresses.
Battle of Jutland Turning
Point of War, Balfour Says
London, Aug. 4.—The first lord of
the admiralty, A. J. Balfour, has issued
a statement for publication, in the
course of which he says:
"The second anniversary of the Brit
ish declaration of war provides a fitting
opportunity for a brief survey of the
prerent naval situation. The conse
quences, material and moral, of the
Jutland battle cannot be easily over
looked; an allied diplomatist assured
me that he considered it the turning
point of the war.
"The tide, which had long ceased to
help our enemies, began from that mo
ment to flow strongly in our favor.
This much at least Is true, that every
week which has passed since the Ger
man fleet was driven damaged into
port has seen new successes for the
Allies in one part or other of the field
of operations. 11 would be an error,
however, to suppose that the naval
victory changed the situation; what it
did was to confirm it.
"Before the Jutland battle, as after,
the German fleet was Imprisoned. The
battle was an attempt to break the
ITARRISBURG TELEGRAPH
bars and burst the confining gates. It
failed, and, with its failure, the high
seas fleet sank again into impotence."
By Associated Press
Amsterdam, Aug. 4.—The appoint
ment of Field Marshal Von Hinden
burg to the supreme command on the
eastern front is hailed by the German
papers as a masterful stroke.
The Hamburger Nachrichten says:
"He is the right man in the right
place. A desire long since cherished
by our people but never directly ex
pressed is now fulfilled. In the pres
ent crisis on the eastern front the con
solidation of the army groups was a
necessity. All commanders of the
eastern armies will readily and un
grudgingly submit to Field Marshal
Von Hindenburg's authority."
American Red Cross to
Establish German Units
By Associated Press
Washington, Aug. 4. Renewal of
American Red Cross aid to the
Teutonic allies awaits only the central
powers' permission for the re-estab
llshment within their borders of hos
pital units from the United States.
Great Britain's refusal to let supplies
for the wounded through her block
ade except when consigned to the
American organization caused Red
Cross headquarters here tp decide to
put physicians and nurses again in
the Teutonic countries. Request for
this privilege already has gone through
the State Department to Berlin and
Vienna.
American Red Cross units were
withdrawn from the central empires

Paris, Aug. 4. Attacking simul
taneously from the northwest and
from the southeast French troops yes
terday stormed the village of Fleury,
