Frogs Croaked to Drown

Noise of German Army, Crown Prince Tells Papa (By Associated Press) AMSTERDAM," July 5. Karl Rosner, a newspaper correspondent, who is frequently termed the German emperor's press agent, describes in the Lokal' Anzeiger a conversation which he says took place between Emperor William and the German crown prince In which the son told the father a story of the "frogs at the battle of the Chemin des Dames." The story was told, says Rosner, as father and son stood on a hill In the battle sector of the army group of General von Francois on June 3. The crown prince scid: "It was when the Germans were preparing to storm the Chemin des Dames. The frogs which were found In millions in the marsh in the Alllette river region, croaked in such a deafening fashion that they enabled the Germans to bring up batteries, ammunition and columns without discovery and when the attack actually was launched the deafening concert of the frogs prevented the enemy from discovering the positions of the German machine guns." !

Watson urged a vigorous prosecution of the war. incessant eacriflce on the part of. the American people, and a whole-souled support of President Wilson as the commander-in-chief of the army and navy of the United States, In his address at the Fourth of July celebration In Glen Miller park Thursday afternoon.

Reller, chairman of the Wayne county council of defense, who presided during the afternoon program.; Behind President In War. Senator Watson said in part: "I am behind President Wilson as the constitutional leader of this country in the prosecution of the war. I make a distinction, however, between Woodrow Wilson, president of the United States, and Woodrow Wilson, leader of his party. "I voted for the war and I will tell you why I did so. "I believe, as did George Washington, that the form of government desired by any country is'none of our business. I did not vote for this war in order that the United States could determine what form of government should be adopted by any European country. That is their own business. "People say that we are in this war to save the world for democracy. If this be true we must remember that the essence of democracy lies in the choice of the people as to what form the administration of their affairs shall take. "We went Into this war to defend American rights: to protect American interests; to safeguard American people; to preserve the freedom of the seas for American commerce. And the thing we started out to do we will have the courage to perform. When this war is over I want to see the Monroe doctrine enforced more rigorously than ever. (Continued on Page Eight.)

The Reichstag has passed the peace treaty and supplementary treaties with Rumania according to a Berlin dispatch. The independent socialists voted against all the treaties. ; LONDON, July 5. Germany's plans for "peaceful penetration' in Rumania .have gone ahead very rapidly since the signing of the treaty of peace. According to advices from an authoritative source in Rumania the resumption of railway traffic with the districts occupied by the Central powers was followed by a great inrush of German merchants, politicians and intriguers. - Within a few weeks the pushing and overbearing Germans had become so much in evidence in Jasey that the royal family, including the king, the queen and the crown prince, felt compelled to. leave the city. The royal family is now living in what amounts to self-imposed exile in the remote frontier village of Bicaz. . Here in. the depths of the Carpathian forests, the royal family is living in an old hunting lodge of King Ferdinand's. An Associated Press correspondent lately returned from Rumania' visited Bicaz during a tour of the Carpathian front last year. It is a straggling hamlet . of perhaps a dozen houses without railrcad conection or even a good road. It is best approached on horseback over a mountain trail from Piatra Namsk, the trail striking Bicaz

soon after It enters the pictusesque valley of the river Trotus. The king's hunting lodge stands on a slight elevation overlooking the valley and the river.

"We Are Fighting Hun Like; Swimmer ' Fights 'Jhiwmi Man" Richard Lieber

Richard Lieber of Indianapolis, a member of Governor Goodrich's military staff, condemned German militarism and the leaders in the German empire whose despotic rule and whose ambitions to rule the world have rer.ulted in the great war, in an inspiring address on "German Democracy" Thursday 'afternoon at Glen Miller park. Mr. Lieber was introduced by Will W. Reller, chairman of the Wayne ccunty council of defense. He said in part: "I am proud to say that in the past the German immigrant has contributed his full share to the growth, wealth and weal of his new country. As an American by conviction, ana even in his formative station, he got along

well with his American neighbors, for he had brought with him all the minor virtues of civil life, such as frugality. Industry and perseverence. He was known to be truthful and dependable. Feeling Becomes Strained. "For a time not so long ago, sinister shadows fell over us. What was

the matter?... The friendly feeling be-i tween Americans and German Ameri-J

cans certainly became strained. An air of mistrust prevailed. , It could hardly be otherwise as long as we. remained in a state of passivity and sulked in a cloud of peevishness. For that's all it was. It was no longer a matter of conscience or principle; for we had since become convinced that our trusfin Germany's cause was misplaced and that our natural sympa

thies for the German people had been worked upon by their own military masters. - "I am glad, profoundly so, that this spirit of pasivity is disappearing, that the german American is coming to the forefront, and I hope that the old American will straighten his path, for it was a sad step to take. I am sure they will, for are we not all working for unity of purpose and action. . "From now on, instead of pointing a finger at each other and say, 'You, You! Let us in the spirit of the day stretch out both hands and say :; We.' "And now a very personal word to my friends of German extraction or birth. I have hesitated to speak about it for fear, of being , misunderstood. Yet I see no other way of

saying it and so I beg of you to consider my intention. America Removes Barrier. "The great majority of immigrants belong to the poorer classes. But no matter how poor or well-to-do, they belong in a circumscribed class, out of which they cannot move except in extraordinary circumstances. What has America. done for them? If it had not done another thing than to remove this damnable barrier, it would be entitled to our undying thanks and devotion. Here we meet on a common plane; in Germany we were assigned a definite spot in their mediaeval-layer cake and there we would stay, our children and grandchildren. "You remember, of coruse, that In

"Walter Damrosch and I, about ten years ago, had. discussed America and Germany; when speaking of the many beautiful -things, abroad, he suddenly sighed and exclaimed: 'But withal, if I would want to be the sam Walter Damrosch in Germany that I am in America, I would at least have to be Landgrave of Thuringia or Archduke
