Germany lias nppointcd the enormous
num. erf 2.,000,000 for military pur
lf (ort mvly lccnnc gho faces possible

nblo xtnlemrnts in nil o hero totlay to
the Uniled Prcw hv 1'rorccjior linns
Delbrueck, Germany's tforcmost his
torian. Germany In Danger.
"Germany is in danger I will oven
ay terrible- danger, the gravity of
which enn linrdly bo exaggerated of
bchtg involved in n war it doe.s not
desire, and is seeking to avoid," paid
Delbrueck. "That danger is Ilussia at
tho present time, not Franco or Eng
land. With tho hopo of averting such
n war, Germany is simply trying to
ninko itnelf strong enough to tnke
Mirk dcfeiiHivo measures as wilt dis
courage starting such n war.
''Under tho spur of the 1'nn-Slavie,
movement, Itussin is pursuing o re
lcutlcftt policy, which if not curbed,
cannot but lead to war. It is playing
a strong hand in the Balkans, It is
(stiffening Bulgaria and Scrvia'
against making acceptable and reas
onably poaca terms with Turkey; stif
fening Bulgaria against lloumania's
demands nnd threatening Roumnnia if
tkc hitter dares go to war with Bul
garia, and, lastly, through its support
of Scrviu nnd Montenegro, has forced
Austria to tho limit of concessions.
Austria's Oincwlon.
"Austria receded from iU jwsilion
on tho Sanjak of Novipazar; Austria
ga,yo up its dream of marching to Sa
lonika; it moderated its just demands
uKn Servia. It gave tip rights to
which it was and is entitled. And
Russian influence pressed on relent
lessly for more. Ilussia massed 500,
000 men on tho German and Austrian
frontiers and today has something
like 1,500,000 men wilder arras
double the size of tho German army.
"Anstria's strength as Germany's
ally has been largely absorbed by tho
new situation in the Balkans. Ger
many must bo prepared to take care
for itse-lf to faeo two ways toward
ItuBsia and toward France, for the
latter would certainly tako advantage
of any war with Bussla, to carry out
its 'revenge.' Were Germany caught
unprepared between two such forces,
it might go hard with us. Further
marc, GCrmany will not and cannot
sco Austria its ally forced to fur
ther concessions.
Itoumanla Can Start It.
Professor Delbrueck declared that
tho danger point was St. Petersburg,
nnd ho regarded tho appointment by
Fraucc of Dclcassc as ambassador to
Husbia as boding ill for tho peace of
Europe, in general, nnd Germany in
particular."
"If I?ourannia should go to war with
Bulgaria?"
"Tho big European war would bo
on," replied Delbrueck.
Even should Itushia nnd Austria
partly demobilize, tho hiblorian do
dared it would nffect tho situation
but little us long ns the big questions
remained unsettled.

COUNCILMAN ARRESTED
UPON TWO CHARGES
(Continued from rago 1)
After presentation of ciidcnco hv
tho prosecution this afternoon, the
case was continued until Tuesday.
Political Pri-M'CHltoii.
What his friends denounce as polit
ical persecution undertaken at this
time iu order to influence tho vide at
the special election to bo held Satur
day, culminated Thursday afternoon
in tho arrest of George II. Millar,
councilman from the Third ward, on
n charge of selling liquor to minor!,
"some timo between May, 1011,
and Mnroh 20, lOKI" Mcniio Dnxi-,
a minor signing the complaint
Millar was arraigned before Mayor
Eifert Friday morning, and following
tho filing of n demurrer to the com
plaint by hw attorney, the caso was
continued until this afternoon.
Millar has been one of tho "solid
four' councilmeii who havo voted
against tho mayor iu his efforts to
oust Market Mnster Kuuynrd and City
Engineer Amspiger. Threats to
"whip him into line" nro said to have
been made by Eifert concerning Mil
lar but nothing came of it until tho
grnnd jury met the first of this week.
Then charges itgul-nl Millar for sell
ing liquor after huurs nnd hi minors
were made,' City (Attorney' Hoggs se
curing the wilnrfisert nud appearing
before the grand jury himself against
Millar. The grand jury hits not yet
adjourned or taken notion in tho mut
ter. Friday n number oi high school
boys were subpocuod to appear.
No Aical Possible.
Friends of Councilman Millar de
clare tiio entire proceedings against
him to bo but a method adopted hv
Mayor Eifert and City Attorney Hoggs
to force bun to chnuge las vote on
appointment made by the mayor.
From tho mayor's court, it being n
municipal court, there is no uppenl to
tho circuit court.. If Mayor Eifert
finds him guilty and he witdios to up
leal, a writ of review must be sought
in the circuit court. This makes tho
matter unfair in a caso of this kind,
there being a doubt whether a jury
trial can be secured or not. The
mayor nets both as n prosecutor and
oh a trial judge, inasmuch as tho city
attorney is tho mayor's legal advisor

Tho Cliarlor nft so nuiondod pmvldotl that all nou-oloo-fivo

m( oonfirniod by thu Oounoll. Thoy nro not ap'noinltxl
Tor auv dorinito term, but hold thoir olTlooa until thoy nro
romovod. Tho Chartor Ihon rovidos that tho powor of
Vomoval of auv pciuon from any ol'fioo is vosted oxolu
ttivoly in tho Council. Tho ot'foot ol! this is that tho Mayor
inakuM an appoiutufont Kubjcct to tho Council's oonrirnia
tion whonovor thoro is a vacancy. Hut thoro is no vacancy
unless tho occupant of tho office dies, re.siLMis or is re
moved hv tho Council. Tlio principal object of this pro
vision is'to tako it out of tho power of (ho Mayor to build
up :i political machine and it imposes on tho Council thu
duty of seeing that faithful, efficient officers are not disT
charged for political purposes. -
Tho Charter gives tho Mayor tho power to suspend
until tho next, meeting of tho Council, when tho Council
is to decide whether ho bo removed or not.
This is tho charter under which we wore elected and
under which wo hold office. ;s long as tho matter stands
this wav it is clearly our duty to determine when an offi
cer shall be removed and as long as this is the ease, wo
propose to perform that duty according to our own beat
judgment and we do not propose to bo partius to tho re
moval of efficient officers such as tho .pWMiil. Market
Master and Kmrineer iu order that political friends of
I the Mayor may lie appointed
hnvinir the newer under the
lias been using his power of suspension to accoiuplifh tho
same result. After each Council meeting he u boon us-
pending the officers he wants removed until the next
meeting of tho Council. The result of this in, while he
ins no power to appoint the now man, ho ha thu powor
o keep on suspending the old officer and thereby demor
alize tlio public service.
The object of the Charter amendment whiih has been
proposed is not lo take away from the Mayor thu powor
i f removing officers. He dues not havo that, puivor now,
but to take away from hint tho power of arbitrarily abus
ing the powor he has of suspending an officer and thereby
In effect usurping the power given to t lie Council of re
moval. AVe have no. personal feeling iu this matter. We do
not want to bo engaged in a continual fight and (piarrcl.
Wo want you tt) say whether you want to tako the powor
or saying when an officer should be removed from us and
give it to the Mayor. If that is your wish, wo arts satis
fied. Then if tho present efficiency of tlio City govern
ment is destroyed, if the Market is turned over to an
incompetent ward healer and the City Engineer's office
is made the nucleus of a political machine instead of an
instrument of efficient servico lo tlio City it will bp up to
on and the Mayor. AVo will not be responsible. Hut as
Ion;? as tho charter imposes tho duty on us of determining
when officers are lo be retained and when removed, wo
propose to uso tho powor and perform that duty for tho
best interests of the City and we do not promise to allow
any other offiecr to usurp that power or to deter us from
doing what we consider best. AVe havo no interest in the
retention of any of tho present employes except as wo
are interested in the welfaro of this Cily. AVe owe to none
