A despatch film the American Army north-west of Verdun says: Complete reports show that the Ma- melle fortifications have been occu- pied by the Americans. To do it the troops had to storm the redoubtable Hill 269, which was taken as early as 10 o'clock on Wednesday morning. Hill 263 was captured a half-hour later. The advance here and there had been momentarily checked by fierce resistance and the stiffest kind of maahiae gun fire, but the Ameri- cans had so resolutely gone after their objective and the advance artillery fir- ing had been so complete that no- thing could stop them. More than 1,500 prisoners had been counted up to late on Wednes3ay afternoon. These were confined in the cages, and more were corning in. From a strategic point of view the to know the facts that the allies are rushing men and supplies to Albania through Durazzo, from which they drove the Austrians a week ago and destroyed the naval base there. It seems to be but a question of a short time until _the Austrian army is rounded up ou its way to Scutari by the Italians, Serbs and .Freach. who are after them.

W. Gerard, Fortner United States Ambassador' to Germenr- Then are the written and published Weida of the Kaiser in person; "From childhood I have been in- fluenced by five men, Alexander the Great, Julius Caeser, Theodoric IL, Frederiolc the Great, and Napoleon. Each of these men dreamed of world empire. They failed. I have dreemed a dream of German world empire and my mailed fiat shall eucceed." Here in a nutshell is the real Nee son for the war, mays Former Arnbas- ender Gerard. 1 or if the Kaiser has dreamed a dream of German world empire he has elso imparted that bdreeeannilitrteoseluling ; nrnize,ciaGndernitlahtia7s, through the medium of the State di- rected newspapers professors, teach- ers and pastors of the German Luth- eran Church. The Kaiser tells the truth. He has dreamed such a dream. He must have dreamed it very early in life, for he has fitted himself to pose as the meet versatile man at the same time that he has prepared his country and its Government to further his dream. The Kaiser at varying times has pre- eented himself to the public art a writ- er and public speaker. He has ap- peared, too, in the roles of composer of music, painter of pictures and di- rector of ballet Once, wearing a sur- plice, he preached in Jerusalem. So • much for the talents and graces he has affectel. Powers of Great General Staff. At the same time he and his crea- tures have steadily centralized their power so that the institutions of Ger- many to -day are not those even their founders in Germany intended. Pow- er does not lie in the Reichstag, the elective assembly, for that is control- led by the Bandesrat, the assembly appointed by the twenty-five princes of the empire. The Chancellor, who ie at the head of the ministry, is not responsible to either of them, but to the Kaiser alone, But the supreme power of decision in Germany does not rest with the Ministry or the legislative bodies. That the Kaiser's dream may be fur- thered it lies with the Great General - Staff which the Kaiser controls in part and which in part controls him, although he creates it, The relations of the Kaiser and the Great General Staff are involved. The Kaiser would dismiss the head of that staff if the chief had failed in carrying out some designated great objective. But when the head of the • Great General Staff is at the flood tide of success he could make a de - "1 vision which the Kaiser would have the greatest difficulty in averting. The Great General Staff possesses and utilizes to the utmost separate establishments of spies, secret service and newspaper censors. Upon the e Great General Staff are the picked • pincers of the German army, added to from time to time as young officers of eifiecial aptitudes are selected for e, association with and training by the staff. itt caetons, 60 to 62c.
