GERMAN PEOPLE ARE PREPARED FORJAILURE Government Admits Probability of Failure to Win This Year.

WASHINGTON, June 26 Germany Is preparing her people for failure to win this year by an extensive propaganda petting forth that in the event German armies are not able to overrun France this year the situation next year will be better still for Germany than it was at the beginning of the present offensive, and that a movement will be made then to put France entirely out of the war. A summary of the propaganda reached the State, Department today through a neutral country. It suggests that Germans released from the army after the war will be able to give impetus to German submarine construction that will offset what the American and English can do to build up their commerce. It says also after the present war Germany will be able to inaugurate a campaign and successfully .attack Egypt and India. Information also was received today from German interned officers that in letters recently received from Germany a decided change in public opinion is shown regarding prowess of the Central Powers, and great surprise Is caused by the attitude of American soldiers of German origin who are loyal to the cause of the allies.

mate million in France or. enroute

should General Pershing choose to assemble his forces into a single fighting

unit.

HUN CHANCELLOR (Continued From Page One. quire thorough deliberations between the allies. It would be very pleasing if an agreement between Bulgaria and Turkey relieved us of this task." Regarding Rumania, the foreign secretary observed that criticism had been evowed because Germany had demanded no war indemnity In money

of in the economic domain. Such an indemnity was not provided for in the instructions to the negotiators added the secretary, who continued: "Rumania has, however, under the group of treaties submitted to you, to render very considerable yervices to Germany even in the way of money. With a conscientious fulflllmnet of obligations, the Rumanian financial position will be the reverse of brilliant and .the - Rumanian peopl'3 will be obligded to make serious efforts in order to be able to meet these obligations. Tin objection that Germany is not concerned is untenable, for we must render it possible for the debtor to make payment." "ABSENCE Or ENTHUSIASM" AMSTERDAM, June 26. There was an utter absence of enthusiasm in the Reichstag debate, says a Berlin dispatch to the Handelsblad. Foreign Secretary Von Kuehlmann bad hardly begun to speak when it became so dark in the house that the deputies could hardly be distinguished from the press gallery. This atmosphere of gloom, it is added, was symptomatic of the entire speech and its reception, especially the foreign secretary's reference to the prolongation of the war. Chancellor Von Hertling and Vice-Chancellor Von Tayer sat on either side oof the foreign secretary.

TROUT MURDER TRIAL IS HELD AT WINCHESTER

WINCHESTER, Ind.. June 26. The statement of a dying man may send Derilus Trout to the electric chair. Trout is on trial in the circuit court here on a charge of first degree murder for the alleged killing of Charles V. Mllbolland. The case was brought here from Delaware county on a change of venue, because of the intense feeling that existed in that county. Trout is charged with having given medicine to Milholland which contained strychnine ana resulted in the latter's death. The first witness to take the stand after the Jury had been impaneled was James Nickey of Gaston, Ind., who sold the poison to Trout in Kelly's drug store about January 15, 1918. ' . Nlckey said that the defendant came into the store and asked for some poiBon'with which to kill a cat. and said that he wanted something that would do the work quickly... The drug clerk sold him one drachm of strychnine. Lieutenant J. Frank Downey, former coroner of Delaware county, now with an army medical corp3 at Camp Greenleaf, Ga., followed Nichey on the stand, telling of the bottle of medicine found on a table in Milholland's home after his death. This evidence was gathered at the inquest held at the time of the killing. , This bottle was sent to the Indiana state board of health and traces of strychnine were found in it. Sometime after the tragedy, as a result of the report of the board of health, Coroner Herman Toma of Wells county, Dr. Dunn of Gaston, and Dr. Downey exhumed the body of Milholland at Bluffton. The stomach and intestines were removed from the body and sent to Indianapolis for analysis. When poison was found in the stomach Trout's arrest was ordered and he was held for trial on a charge of first de

gree murder. Geoge McCurry, a neighbor of Milholland, and Dr. Dunn, both testified on the stand that Milholland had said, just before he died, "I will not live until morning. I believe I have been poisoned." - The defense objected to this testimony, but the court ruled that it could go into the records and be heard by the jury. According to these witnesses, Milholland said that Trout had given him a bottle which he said contained whiskey and quinine, and told him it would cure his headache.

"UNFAVORABLE IMPRESSION" AMSTERDAM, June 26. Dr. Von Kuehlmann's speech in the Reichstag unfavorably impressed the stock exchange, as indicating no peace perspective and as being a mere repetition of previous assertions.

But marks are still below francs and the entente exchanges remained firm.

''We're Ready for Them When They Come;" Writes Milton Boy at Front

MILTON. Ind., June 26 Lieutenant Morris Caldwell, who was a member of the f fcrst regiment of American forces to see actual fighting in France, has written a letter to Charles Callaway of Milton, describing some of the activities in which he has taken part. Extracts from the letter follow: "When we first arrived here on July 28, 1917, we were received by the king and queen of England and other members of the royal family. "We came to France on August 1, and except for a very short time have been attached to the British forces. Consequently we have seen more action than most of the American troops in France to date. , Fought Hand-to-Hand. "It was our regiment that fought the Hun hand to hand in the German counter attack after the Cambral push of last November. It was from our regiment that the Hun got his first American prisoners, and we suffered the first American Casualties of the war. I believe that the 11th has lost more men to date than any American regiment over here. In World's Greatest Battle. '

"We did six. months on the front and were sent south to the back areas. Soon after we arrived the Germans started their much talked of advance. They struck at the very place we bad Just left. W felt very badly not to be on hand to meet them but wa did not have long to wait as our British friends had not forgotten us and wanted us back. It took but a couple of telegrams and we were on our way back. We were all delighted to get Into the biggest battle the world has ever witnessed. We feel highly honored to have been in bith of his big kicks. "Now he is lying low and so are we. It looks as if he wanted to have another go well, let him, for we. are ready for him. There is no better way to win the war than to kill the devils, so let them come on. Our time is coming and we can afford to wait awhile, -. The task America has taken on her shoulders is a stupendous one but I have the greatest faith in the American people. "There will be blunders made; that is to be expected, but in the end everything will be well, I am sure." .v "; :z V"-" V- .v.V-t ". "
