Paris, May 7.--<The imaginary in- vasion of German territory by the French was the pretext for the de- claration of war on France, says Gottlelb von Jagow, former German Foreign Minister, dn a book which he has just published entitled, 'The Universal War, Its Causes and Be- ginning." The alleged French in- cursions were reported to the Ger- man staff by subordinate 'officers, von Jagow says, and the staff com- municated the information to the Government without attempting to ascertain the facets. The former Foreign Minister as- serts that before the war he was convinced 'of the necessity of an ac- cord with 'Great Britain, ana ex- presses regrét that Germany unfav- orably received offers of an alliance made in 1899. When the Austro-Hungarian am- bassador in Berlin communicated to him the text of the ultimatum to Serbia, von Jagow says he thought its terms were too rigorous. He deelares he expressed some aston- fshment that Berlin %ad not been informed earlier of the steps taken at Vienna. Theodore Wolff, in the Tageblatt, coinmenting on von Jagow's version of the interview he had with the Austrian ambassador concerning the ultimatum to Serbia, says that of- ter reading it he is more at a i than ever to understand why the proposal made by Sir Edward Grey to call a conference of ambassadors to examine the conditions to be cn- forced on Serbia was rejected so categorically by- Germany, Ss eke At The Peace Table, In the conference room, on M. Cle menceau's right was President Wil- son and the other American dele- gates, while on his left Premier Lloyd-George and the British repre- sentatives were grouped. Flanking the Americans was the French dele- gation, with Marshal Foeh in the cenitre, Next to these were the repre- sentatives of Italy, Belgium, Brazil Greece, Portugal and Serbia. On the left side and seated below the dele- gates of Great Britain were those of the British dominions, Japan, Po- land, Rumania and Czeoho-Slovakia. AN The names of Sir Joseph Flavelle, Sir George Foster, Sir Charles Gor- don, and Lloyd Harris are all men- tioned as being in the running to be- come Canada's first "amiassador" to Washington.

John Gunn Was Fined $10 and Costs for 'Being Intoxicated On Saturday Last--A Charge of Theft Against Young Woman Was Dismissed. | An aftermath of the sad rae which occurred on Thomas street, Sunday morning, when the home of John Gunn was destroyed by fire, and Daniel Gallivan lost his life, was heard in Police Court Wednesday morning, when Johan Guan was charged with being intoxicated .on the street on Saturday and also with having liquor in a place other dhan his own private dwelling. He was found guilty on the first charge, and fined $10 and costs, but the prosecution fell down on the second charge, which was dismissed. In- spector William McCammon, with C. R. Webster, conducted the prose- cution, The charge of theft against a young woman on remand for a 'week, was dismissed. She was taken into custody By Sergt., Marshall Arm- strong, in connection with the theft of a number of skints from the store of Mcintosh Bros. Sergt. Arm- strong got some skirts in her pos. session, but she ¢lpimed that anoth- er young woman had given them to her. The young woman in question left the city very hurriedly at the time of the trouble. "I have decided to give you the benefit of the doubt," said the Magistrate, "The goods were found in your possession and were wear- ing 'them, and the other girl disap- peared at the time, suspicious, but 1 trust that this will be a warning to you. The case will be dismissed." y n TO COST A BIG AMOUNT, ---- Rains Causing Great Damage Roads In the County. The continued mins- will cost the county thousands of dollars to put the roads back into shape for traffic. With the exception of such roads as those to Harrowsmith and Sydenham, wich were recently rebuilt and are now fairly well drained, theré are no roads which are fit for travel. There will be $68,400 spent by the county of Frontenac this year on its roads. This is made up by an ap- propriation of $40,000 for construc- tion, $6,000 for machinery, $1,400 for superintendent, $6,000 for bridges and $16,000 for repairs, This list amount was expected to take care of- the usual maintainance charges, but the condition 'of the roads now, would indicate that much more will be needed if the work is to be done properly . to BASEBALL: ON TUESDAY.
