Emperor William was personally reported for Germany's partici pation and forced the German leaders to support his war policy. Dr. Muehlon. who was head of Krupps at the outbreak of the war and who recently startled Europe with his disclosures, received the cor respondent of the Associated Press at his country place here where he is now living in retirement. The visit came as Dr. Muehlon was pre paring to issue a more detailed re view of conditions leading to the far and the correspondent had the privilege of going over the document with the personal explanations of' the author. Dr. Muehlon's first disclosure, \ which caused such a commotion.') gave conversations with Dr. Karl: Helfferich, former vice-chancellor, and Dr. Krupp Von Bohlen, chief! owner of the Krupp works, in which j both told him the emperor had. dis-! closed his agreement with Austria-1 Hungary on the ultimatum to Ser- \ bia and that Germany would mobi- ■ lize immediately if Russia mobilized' which would inevitably drown in the' other powers and precipitate a uni-, versal war. The whole trend of the present work is to sliow that the world con- i flirt was im|M>M <i by the German em-; peror's personal military policy and Ills private engagement with Aus tria on the eve of the struggle. Dr. Muehlon gives further details of his conference with Dr. Helfferich! immediately preceding the war itij which Helfferich told of the em-' peror's plans toward Austria and; Russia. Although Muehlon has been fiercely attacked by the German gov- j ernment and the Reichstag, his pres-! fnt version is substantially unchang-j ed. The former Krupp director relates an incident following the outbreak of the war when the emperor requir ed all tlie German leaders to become: Involuntary supporters of his war! policy. Assembling them as guests, the emperor exclaimed suddenly: j "Sow. gentlemen, advance and. aai WP grasp hands, promise me you! will stand with me to the iast breath." Commenting on this. Dr. Muehlon 1 says: "The guests could hardly do oth-j crwise when thup bidden by their imperial host in his own castle to' shake hands with him and thus a! vow was extorted which would be ofi value only if given freely." Dr. Muehlon declares that the or-! der issued by the crown prince of| Bavaria to the troops in Belgium i amounted to a command to give noj quarter to prisoners. He adds: "I have received a letter from thej field which brings me the unheard' of information that the emperor has himself said he had enough prison-1 r rs and has told his officers he hoped I they would take good care to make! no more prisoners. This news is quite authentic." After Reading August Thyssen's plain statement . ASK WHAT THE HUNS WOULD DO TO OUR BUSINESS HERE? I War Stamps Will Stop Them.

TO USE PLANES AND BALLOONS DEFENSE OF COAST Congress Asked For Millions to Provide Guns and Mate rials For Expected Raids Along Atlantic Seaboard ' NAVY WIDENS SCOPE OF ITS LONG SEARCH Believe Submarines Have Reen Driven South by the Heavily Increased Patrol; Mines Arc Picked Up By Associated Press Washington, June 6.—A $16,000,- ; 000 appropriation for establishing | balloon and seaplane stations to guard 1 the United States against submarines I and air attacks was asked of Con gress to-day by the War Depart ' ment. The department desires to es tablish sixteen stations, thirteen of 1 them on the Atlantic coast and three on the gulf coast. Definite locations j were not given. ! The coast defense plan as sub -1 mitted by the Department also calls for the establishment of mobile forti | tications along the coasts by which guns could be transferred on rail roads from one point to another to meet possible attacks. The House appropriations commit tee, to whom the, request went, was informed that there are in operation a sufficient number of aircraft to de fend the coast artillery, but that the stations are needed. The only pos sible airplane attacks that could bej made it was said, would come from collapsible airplanes carried by sub-! marines. Operation of observation balloons 1 would be largely for signal purposes. Washington, June 6.—"While near ly forty hours have passed since the German submarines preying upon 1 shipping off the Atlantic coast had' disclosed their position, efforts of the Navy Department to hunt down the raiders had not lessened in the | least to-day. Instead, the search was being extended to more southern i regions in the belief that the German , undersea craft, after sinking the j Norwegian steamer Eidsvold late . Tuesday off the Virginia Capes, hur- [ l ied southward In hope of finding a I locality in which naval patrols were i not so strong. Location of the raiders off the Vir- J ginia Capes, on the other hand; led j some "Navy Department officials to believe that the submarines may 1 have taken up a position in that re- j gion in belief that there in the path ' of trans-Atlantic travel richer prizes in the form of larger cargo or pas- j senger-earrying vessels or perhaps a I transport might be obtainable. Details of the sinking'of tile Bids void were lacking early to-day. Dispatches received last night by the Navy Department said the steamer was sunk forty miles oft the Virginia coast and that the crew had been rescued by a Navy supply ship. Patrol craft to-day were also engaged in the search for mines strewn off the Delaware Capes by the raiders. Several .unexploded mines were gathered in yesterday and it is now believed one was the cause of the sinking of the tanker Herbert L. Pratt. SECRETARY MYTON RETURNS J. Clyde Myton, secretary of the committee in charge, of the Third Liberty Loan drive, has returned home after attending a meeting ot the organizing secretaries in the last campaign from the Third Fed eral Reserve District, held at Phila delphia on Tuesday.

HUNS EXPECTED TO STRIKE NEXT GREAT BLOW AT AMERICAN FRONT Impending Battle May Be gin Along Sector North west of Toul, Where the Yankees Hold Line FOCH OUTGENERALED THE CROWN PRINCE Allied Commander-in-Chief Will Not Strike With Full Force Until Critical Bat tle, Washington Believes With the American Army in France, June 6.—Extra ordinarily heavy railway train movements frcm the northeast to the westward in the rear of the enemy lines northwest of Toul were reported this morning by the American patrol. By Associated Press Washington, June 6.—Demonstra tions in force against new portions; of the western front are looked fori by War Department officials now I that the German third drive has been slowed down to a struggle for im-j provement of local positions west J and south of Soissons. It is regarded j as entirely possible that increased activity in front of the American j sector northwest of Toul may in dicate an impending blow there. The conclusion is based on the ■ opinion strongly held by some of- j ficials that the drive was designed to' draw off reserves from the Amiens] and Flanders sectors. An attack on] the American sector in such strength j as to drive the line back, it is argued, I might hamper General Koch in his! employment of American units to! support his lines in Picardy, Flanders! and the Aisne regions. Foch Outguessed Enemy Officers regard the fact that no new blow h'as been struck at the Amiens front as conclusive evidence that General Foch outguessed his op ponents when he determined to let the Aisne front stand on its own strength, even at the cost of much 1 territory overrun by the enemy until ] he could assemble additional units I from scattered points along the line I beyond Rheims. The very success of ] the Germans in pressing on to the] banks of the Marne, it was argued,] meant that Foch was resolved not to | weaken his lines to-the north. Look For Critical Battle Another indication that the French strategists have outguessed the German general staff is seen in the fact that the original strength used by the crown prince in the Aisne drive was put at 25 divisions. He has since employed in this the ater double that number. The critical battle, the final Ger man effort to break through to the channel coast, will be fought, of ficers believe, before Foch finds him self able to turn the tables on the enemy and to begin what they are certain will bo a march to Berlin if complete victory cannot be won short of that goal. General Clement and Fred A. Godcharles to Address Big Rally Major-General Clement, retired, ! formerly commander of the Keystone l Division of the United States Army, j who knows war conditions, in France I from actual experience at the front. I and Fred A. Godcharles, Deputy Sec- I retory of the Commonwealth, have | been invited by the Harrisburg Ro i tary Club to address the recruiting | tally to be held in Market Square | io-morrow evening under the aus pices of the club. I The Municipal Band has been en i gaged for the meeting and there will j be singing by the minstrel chorus of j the Rotary Club. The committer in I charge asks that all of the mem | hers of the club occupy seats on the i Platform. The rally is being held at , the request of the local recruiting I office and the Rotai-y Club was asked i to take charge, due to the fact that it has been prominent in all kinds ! of war work and that most of its members who are not already in the i service are beyond the draft age. Major-General Clement spent sev- I oral months in France and will be able to tell the prospective soldier what he may expect there. Mr. God [.charles is likely to be called for duty any day as a volunteer captain of aviation, he having passed all his examinations nd being now held subject to orders. He is a former football player, one of the best shots in the United States and a brilliant orator. E. Z. Gross, chairman of the club's committee, will preside, at the rally.

Troops Show Great Dar ing i,n Holding l"p Des perate Hun Attack OF FI CE R S DECORATED Yankees Arriving in Great Force and Take Up Posi tions on Wide Front By Associated Press With the American Army in France, Wednesday. June 5. —An American machine gun battalion ac counted for approximately one thou sand Germans while holding a bridge at Chateau Thierry during the recent lighting. The Americans lost only one man killed and u few wounded. At the same time French troops wiped out a force of three hundred Ger mans who had obtained a footing on the southern bank of the Marne. While the Germans dominated the town from Hill 204, the Americans and French set up machine guns in the windows and doorways of houses. Great tlerceness marked the lighting which raged for several days. One officer told the correspondent today that it was all the commanders could do to keep the Americans from crossing the river in the teeth of the enemy fire and assaulting the hill position. Ther is little left of Chateau Thierry. It has been shot to pieces and now is only a pile of bricks ahd stones. The Germans concentrated large forces in Neuilly wood and started across in mass formation. They were mowed down by the American ma chine gunners, their formations were broken and they were put to flight before reaching the American line. Show Their Valor Many American officers and pri vates showed great daring and for titude in withstanding the German attacks along the Marne at Chateau, Thierry and Jaulgonne. Captain John R. Mendehall-, of New Rochelle, N. Y., went without sleep for three days and remained steadily at the head of his company during that time. Corporal Jules Mangold, of McDonald, Pa., was sent out to investigate German snipers under a heavy tire from the Ameri can line. He found the snipers, pointed them out to his comrades and the Germans fired no more. The first American to receive the French War Cross for bravery in the present battle was Lieutenant Wal ter R. Flannery, of Pittsburgh, who swam across the Marne and rescued a wounded French soldier. Lieuten ant John T. Bissel, of Pittsburgh, has been cited for the French War Cross for leading his machine gun command to the north side of the Marne in an attempt to stop the Ger man attack.

The patrol in flicted heavy losses on the enemy. With the American Army in France, June 6. —An American patrol i of thirty men penetrated to the en emy third lines in the Lunevillo sector early this morning. The Americans encountered 200 Germans and attacked them with grenades, bayonets and bullets. The tight lasted twenty minutes and many losses were inflicted on the enemy. The American loss was extremely light. Help French Morale London, June 6.—The behavior of the American troops at Chateau Thierry has demonstrated more than anything that has yet happened on the American front the splendid initiative and enterprise with which the American Army is endowed and nothing has aroused the keener en thusiasm of commanders, says the Daily Mail correspondent with the American Army in France. He quotes an unnamed French general as say ing that the American spirit and enterprise at a critical moment served to maintain the morale of the French troops around Chateau Thierry. The correspondent predicts that much will be heard of the deeds of the Americans in the next few days and ados: Arriving in Numbers "American troops fresh from the United States continue to arrive with regularity and in numbers more than sufficient to justify renewed confi dence in the ultimate triumph of the entente. The Americans it this mo ment are distributed over a very wide front, indeed. In some sectors entire American divisions form one unit holding a certain extent of line while elsewhere they are brigaded with French and British regiments. In the Luneville and Toul sectors the Americans hold very difficult salients dominated—in the Toul sector completely dominat ed by the German artillery.
