Bares German Plots to Seize Central America The part that Central America; was to play when Germany set out j to eventually gobble up these United j States was the prime feature of an \ instructive address last night at tho Technical High school by Dr. Fred-1 erick Monsen, for many years onc| o fthe world's noted explorers. The] blunt, -facts w ere .put before tho | audience so convincingly that tliej hearers concluded America had step-' ped into this war just about in time[ to prevent a Hu ninvasion. This country was still on friendly j terms wit hGermany, early in 1912. j when Dr. Monsen made the ac-| quaintance of a German official who had vast authority from his gov-j ernment to prepare things 6n this j continent for a German drive. The j Panama Canal was no obstacle, he thought, for by throwing a couple l shells into Gatun dam from a dis-' tance of thirty miles they would put I the canal out of commission and de- j stroy the wor kof a decade. Brazil.' this plotter told Dr. Monsen. would | be the nucleus of the disturbance. The plan was to start an uprising there where many Germans live, and meanwhile the Imperial fleet would blockade the whole American east HARRISBURG tfsfffo TELEGRAPH coast. With thousands of troops i-ol lill pr up from South and Central America and the coast blockaded the Huns would have no trouble enter ing: the Panama Canal "by the side door." To enlist all countries, even the little ones. Germany adopted a policy of lending money though the coun tries were unable to pay even the in terests on the loans. An example of this finance system is that the Santo Domingo which paid its interest for years with cjoffee. Germany contem plated getting the bulk of the south ern nations in its clutches so they would have to respond when the call was issued for the great'drive over Uncle Sam's dominions.
