WHERE THE KAISER GOT
HIS “CONQUEST” EXPOSE
GENEVA, Aug. 20.—The alleged
plana of the entente allies for con
quest, as revealed In the statement of
the Imperial German chancellor, Dr.
Michaells, were obtained from the
Berne Tagwacht. They afford amuse
ment to the Swiss people because the
Tagwacht is an obscure socialist and
Gcrmanophile journal edited by Rob
ert Grimm, who sime time ago achiev
ed notoriety and was expelled from
Russia for his connection with Ger
many's efforts to enforce a separate
peace with Russia. The Swiss news
papers say that if Dr. Mlchaelis
bases his information on such a fee
ble source as a virtually unknown
journal, his cause already is lost in
neutral countries, especially in Swit
zerland.
