Internal Forces in Germany Demand Statement Peace Terms of MICHAELIS FINDS DIFFICULT TRAVELING Now Comes to a Test Between the VonTirpitz Crowd and Reichstag Majority r Cold Weather in Vosges Kxtrrnal pressure to force the Ger man roverr.ment to set forth its war aim- clearly, having failed on the sur face, internal conditions within the empire threaten to compel the issu mice of a full statement of Germ:.:"' aim-. What the German leaders wan . if i hey are successful, will be discuss ed in the Reichstag this week, prob ably today. The imperial chancellor, Dr. Mich- aelis, is finding the way as difficult a it was for his predecessor, Von IViimann-Hrillweg, and he must now face the critics of the government in the Reichstag. Whether, as has been charged, the bureaucracy and the army have been furthering the pan German scheme" of annexation and in demnities is expected to be brought cur in the Reichstag debate. Dr. Michaelis on Saturday sent Min ister of . the Intipr Helfferich before the Reichstag to make a- statement on his behalf. Helfferich failed to mol lify the critical members of the Reich stag, and the sitting was adjourned to today after the Vice Chancellor's speech had been interrupted. Von Stein the wr.r minister, was jeered when he at' erupted to explain the army's side 01 the accusation that the high command was using very strong methods to help the pan-German agitation. Former Chancellor ven Eethmann Hollweg, some months before his res ignation, had a test of strength with Admiral von Tirpitz, the reputed or ganizer of ruthless submarine 'war fare, and the Chancellor won. The Admiral, since, has been busy and the new Fatherland parry, of which he is one of the .-ponsors, according to re cent repor.'s has been very active in opposing the Reichstag majority dec laration for peace without annexa tions or indemnities. It has now come to a test between the followers of Von Tirpitz and the pan-Germans on one side, and 'the majority o? the Reichstag on the other. Recent reports have shown iliat Seeling between the Pan Germans and the Reichstag majority has been becoming more intense, some Social-1 ist members of the Reichstag having gone so far as to charge that the agi tation of the pan-Germans is dividing the German people into two camps on the question of the aims of the war.

ALLEGED KIDNAPER i OF THE KEET ED ON TRIAL Claude J. Piersol, 20 Years Old, is First of Defendants to Be Tried BODY OF BABY WAS FOUND IN A WELL Wealthy Father Sought to Ransom His Abducted Child, But Failed Another Kidnaping Case (By Associated Press.) Marshfield, Mo., Oct. 8. The trial of Claude J. Piersol, charged with kidnapping Lloyd Keet,the infant son of a Springfield, Mo., banker, opened in Circuit Court here today. Piersol, who is only 20 years old, is alleged to have headed a band, two of whom are charged with him in the abduction of the Keet baby and four others who are accused, with the trio, of a plot to abduct a jeweler of Springfield. Although the death of the child, whose body was located in an. aban doned cistern 'ddeaqtfigara-bUiQ' charge against Piersol, conviction for kidnaping, or attempting to kidnap, carries a life sentence in Missouri. Nearly 200 witnesses hve b" called and special, panel of 75 man; PLAC The abduction of Lloyd Keet. the!1?? telegraph. No one company know 14 months-old son of J a banker or springneld, mo., culmi nated in the baby's death. It involv ed another alleged kidnaping conspir acy said to have been part of a Ger man plot and the attempted lynching of one of the so cated conspirators in an effort to force him to confess that he was implicated in the Keet baby's disappearance and death. While the child's parents were at tending a ball at the Springfield Country Club on the night of May 30, 11)17, the"1 baby was stolen from his crib in the family home. Ten days later the;.body was found, wrapped in nn cid black underskirt, at the bottom ci a well at the Crenshaw mansion, which bad been uninhabited for many years. Meanwhile, friends, de'ectives aaO. i"-'C oafcy's father had scoured the Ozark hills and had even visited pre viously the old farm house in their search for the missing boy. No threats had been made, to the Keet family, previous to the ' abduc tion, but on the following morning, Mr. Keet received a note threatening mutilation to the infant if a ransom ! of $6,000 was not pard the following night. Mr. Keet endeayored tp com ply but failed to meet the kidnapers. Various rewards were offered, but these were followed up by a letter to the father that the ransom fee would be increased from $6,000 to $10,000. Six days after the disappearance of 1 the boy, Taylor Adams, his vife, Al lie Adams, and his two sons, Maxie and Cletus, respectively 18 and 20 years old. and Claude Piersol were arrested. All vehemently denied any connection with the Keet case but al leged statements of the prisoners told of a plan to abduct C. A. Clements, a Springfield jeweler, and a baby other ! than the Keet child. The German plot angle entered the case, according to the alleged state ment by Piersol, that a man had em ployed him to assist in. kidnaping Clements. The man was said to have received orders from a German agent in St. Louis and to have promised Piersol he might be . called upon to kidnap ..persons in Canada and Mexico well as in the United State3. All efforts to shake the, statements of the persons arrested were unsuc cessful. They maintained they had nothing to do with the Keet case. On June 9, however, a party of j i citizens made a secpna ana more inor ough search of the , Crenshaw farm and found the body. A coroner's in ouest decided that the child had died from exposure and lack of . proper i nourishment. The excitement in Springfield be came so . great that a mob stormed the county jail demanding that the pris oners wljowere being held there, be turned over to them that they might avenge the baby's death.
