CherepSpiridovich, Direct Descendant from the Grand Dukes of Russia, Tells How the Anglo-Latino -Slav League, of Which He Is President, Aims to Unite the White Peoples of the Globe Against the Domi nation of the Colored Peoples, Who Outnumber Them Two to One.

Fit sOd I yomr fl ft JU world. Many diplomats were looking toward Alsace-Lorraine- for 111 out-tweak, but the General Insisted that Austria would be the cause of the next war. Iu November, he wrote that Europe would lose millions of nieu and billions of money, and that the war would end only when Austria was dislocated. Geu. Cherep-Spiridovich 53 years old.

He comes from noble Russian ami Tolish Mock. His whole heart Is In this league. In whose Interest he has served entirely without pecuniary recompense, bearing the expenses of the organization almost entirely himself. Iu addition to being the presideut of the League in the United States, he Is the President of the Anglo-Lntlun-Slav League In Paris and also In Rome and Lisbon and was the head of the Society Slavla in Moscow and Petrograd and of similar irgantzatious In other countries. He Is enthusiastic In his plan for Insuring future peace throughout the world, which he maintains can only he accomplished by a union of the White Races, Why the English-Speaking, Latin and Slav Peoples Must Unite.

In talking with me the other day, he said: "All the English-speaking. Latin and Slav peoples must be urged to Join together for their mutual defense. The greatest blunder would be to again forget the Slavs in planning the world peace, as was done In Paris. If, in the I imiire, we neglect tne uo.ixkmhiu Slavs, we shall compel two-thirds of them to join the enemy." "The enemy?" I queried. "Yes," said he.

"Who Is the enemy?" I asked. He smiled. "Unless we take measures to prevent it there will be a combination' for world supremacy between the Germans and the Colored Race. And such a combination would result in at least a difference of 200,000,000 In the peace balance of the White Race." Then I asked him to define more specifically these racial combinations of which he spoke. I took a pad of paper and placed it before him.

"Here is London." said he, and he made a circle at the top of the paper, and from the circle he drew curved lines to the right and to the left. And under the line to the left he told me to write "Japan," and under "Japan" he told me to write "China" and "anti-Bolshevik Russia." And tinder "Russia" he told me to write "France" and added that I should draw a circle under "France" leading to the right and later to connect with another set of names to bo written on the right side of the paper. Then ou the right-baud Unless Preventive Steps for Peace Are Taken the Next War Will Be One of Races, More Terrible Than Any in History. Forecasts Combination of Yellow, Brown, Red and Black Men. they can be nisde to thoroushly tinder stand he terrifying danor from the fatal alliance of rcrewteful whlt race tecklnic combinations with col ored rsces, ho ultimate aim 1s to rule the world.

Imagine the result of Japan forming an alliance with China, whom she Is already by conccsoli'tis In Shantung. Imag ine this combination extending to In dia and lo Africa. Suppose discontented white races should throw their strength to such a combination. Yon know what the end would be. We all know what It would lie.

"The combination of the white rsees must, of course. Include the Germans, I proposed such a League of White Races in my book. 'L'Unlon des published In lln, and then said that It was the only way lo avoid the coming world war. And today It Is the only wsy to avoid future war of Says Slavs Should Be Recognized in White World League. General Chcrcp-Splrldovlch In urging that the Slavs be recognized In the proposed union of the white rnees said that they came from the purest, of Nordlck stock.

Toland was the old Nordic broodlnnd. In their blood also flows the blood of the Indo-European and the Aryau and the Alpine stock. They number about 170,000,000 an are strongest In Russia, where there are 100.000,000 of tbem. Iu Poland thero are 20,000,000 nnd In the United Stales 12,000,000. In the lute war they suffered 20,000,000 ensiinltles.

"The United States," continued (he General, "can have these 170.000,000 Slavs sturdy and true ns allies; and by taking the leadership in world affairs she can make a combination of other white races that will prevent all wars. John Millholland lias said that there Is room in this country for 500,000.000 people. From tho viewpoint of defense that would bo a wonderful population. As wns pointed out lu Tho Sunday Eagle not long ago tho assimilation of tho population will bo much slower than the Increase nnd herein lies au Imminent danger. There-fore, (he only plan for the United States is the plan of assimilation.

Now, It was shown In The Sunday Eagle that at least 0" percent of the future Immigrants to the United States provided the Immigration law Is not permanently changed will be Latin nnd Slav. So those races will bo an important factor In tho affairs of this country, as the Anglo-Saxon element represented today In immigration hero by only 7 percent will In the future bo insignificant. There Is tho situation in this country." "And what Is the situation in England?" I asked. "As a result of the war England gained the German colonies, to wlilcn she must, send her citizens, and the Idea of 'self-determination' which will every day demand more and more administration ami more troops to maintain. Tho war destroyed 1.000,000 of the best men of England and the Increase of her population Is greatly menaced." "And "Germany will pour every available man into Russia because each nuiu will occupy a Thus tho Anglo-Saxon element Is bound to be weakr oned nnd the Slnvs and tho Latins will bo practically the only races, except the colored races, which will continue to colonize.

"Now, as to the leadership of th world. Since tho Government of the United States has explained in a most statesmanlike, brilliant and friendly way Its views upon Russia in its notes of nnd 11121 this country is honored and revered by the Slavs throughout the world. Would It, then, be an offense for tho Slavs anil the Latins to recognize tho United Slates as the World Power? No! Because In the 'Future America' tltero will bo .13 Vi percent Slavic blood and percent o' Keltic and Iberian blood. Why, ever Lord Curzoti ndmltted to the American Ambassador. Colonel Harvey, that the United States is more Anglo-Keltic than Anglo-Saxon.

"Thus, you see," he added ns he left me, "the Immediate necessity for the Anglo Latino-Slav League with trip United States ns its headquarters, with branches iu all parts ot the white man's world. With such a league th world will be snfe for the White Race nnd nil wars will cense." Skvttlidl from lito. GEN. COUNT ARTHUR CHEREP-SPIRIDOVICH TO organise the EiiKlb-h-speakine Latin ami Slav co)lcs Into au Impregnable bloc; lo prevent, warn. bloodshed ai.l iiogroiui': to ou- ixe BoIsIioiImii: to f-prvail the Eiig- IUU language throughout the world an i an International language that I the I ImiIiI.

the startling program of the An-1 plo Latino-Slav League, which ha It hcaihpiartci-s at ltil East Twenty-third Mreet, Manhattan. I In this union there would foe Anglo-Saxons, Latins and Slavs I a combination of the white races of (he world. Why the need of such a union? The League has one object liiivlew: To preserve the White Race. And It holds that to preserve that race the leadership of the White Race must puss to the United States of America. The passing of the Grent White Race is not a new Idea.

Students of the races and mankind, of natural history, of geography, of civilization, have expanded this idea, and htive demonstrated iu quite a satisfactory manner, by statistics, by the law of fecundity and by the greed and nihil inn of nations that the White Race iu the march of yours must succumb to the domination of the Colored Race unless some preponderant plan of prevention be devised hy the Great: White Race now dominant. Most of us are thinking little of this Perhaps too many of us are thinking too little and that little thinking, perhaps, pertains almost entirely to things of today. But, if we take time for a moment nwr turn to the political and racial maps of tho world, we shall see the political division to be nine-tenths wlille the racial division is only one-third white. And the remaining onc-icntli of the political power of the world is held by the two-third racial division which is composed of the yellow, brown and red men designated as tiie Colored Race. Here, then, is our While World today: Europe, the Siberian part of Asia and Australasia.

North America to the Rio Grande and the southern part of South America. And here Is our Colored World today: Practically the whole of Africa, the greater part of Asia and the larger portion of South America and Central America. Of land areas the Whiles occupy square miles and the(Colored Races square miles. In this connection we should not lose sight of the fact that one-third of the area held by the Whites is sparsely inhabited. Now.

when we turn to populations, the Inequality of the numerical strength of the two racial divisions is Tho total population of the world approximates 1.700,000.000. Of tills population iVUO.0OO.OOO are white and 1.1HO.OO0.O00 are colored. I Here is the reason why the Anglo- Latino-Slav League seeks to form a combination of the peoples of the; Great White Race. i The Man at the Head Of the League of the World's White Races. At the head of this League which has established its headquarters in this euuntry is-a man with a remarkable personality.

He is Maj. Gen. Count Arthur Cherep-Spiridovich, who traces his descent directly from the Grand Dukes of Russia and Lithuania. Two of his ancestors were killed in the Battle of Tanuenberg in 1410, when the Teutons were defeated by, the Poles, Russians. Czechoslovaks and Lithuanians.

Five hundred four years later Hindenburg surrounded the Russians and annihilated them on this same spot, and two of the Count's sons took part in the battle. In the late war he lost four sons and two nephews. Gen. Cherep-Spiridovich has been educated in literature and finance. For seventeen years he was managing director of a transport and trade company and Is an expert on economic questions.

He speaks nine languages and for forty years has been a close student of foreign policies. For a number of years he has boon engaged In working out the plan of a union of the white races, and while engaged on it ho has written several books In which some astounding prophecies have been made. In his hook "Vers la Debacle" "Toward the Downfall" published in 1013. he fore-cost the peril ttnt confronted the land" heading the list of nations on the right to "Japan" heading the list of nations ou the left. "Docs that mean that.

England may shift to either side?" I asked. "Yes," said he. "And the circle around leading to the list to the right does that mean that France may shift?" "Yes," said he. "Also the clrela general principles. Of course, principles as a rule, do not win battles.

There can be no denying that the thinly held line ot the British 6th Army was the logical place of attack for Ludendorff. There, can be no denying that Gough got little support. There can be no denying that Petain was very slow In bringing up divisions to retrieve bis threatened left flank. And there can be no denying that Lloyd George's little scheme for an executive war board had little or no authority and was practically a high-sounding phrase to reassure obstreperous Interpolators in Parliament. To put the.

blame on Haig's shoulders and bid Retain share it, is trifle farfetched, in spite of the imposing array of references footnoted to every other page. Halg's concern at such a time should have been the. preservation of his forces. It was. The sumo applies to Petain.

That they acted separately cannot he charged against them, since they were ordered to the front under conditions which did not direct, a unified command. Either Uoyd George, as a leader of the British Empire, and C'lemenceou. as the all-powerful oj' France, fell down In their rintv or Captain Wright is wrong. The book is by no means an unprejudiced review of "the plot." i i I I I Was There a Plot Against Foch? Chief Objects of the L. League The League will help forward consolidation of World Peace by: 1.

Cementing a close friendship between Anglo-Saxons, Latins and SlaVs by increasing and facilitating their religious, moral, political, financial and economic relations. 2. Creating an impregnable union of peoples, in order to make a new war impossible, at least among the White Races. 3. Placing on a moral basis the international relations of the peoples.

4. Dissipatin'g the prejudices fostered against the above three races. 5. Introducing English as an international world language, in order to facilitate the brotherhood of nations and their "Americanization." 6. Revealing the truth about Bolshevism as a most pestilent disease.

7. Preventing Germany from "militarizing" 170,000,000 sentimental Slavs. The membership in the League will be like "moral handcuffs" for them. 8. Eliminating the German language and influence from Latin and Slav and extirpating the German cancer of a "Deutschland Ueber Alios." Only the L.

League, by the way of its Prague, Posen, Warsaw and Vilna branches, can emancipate from Teutons without bloodshed the Letto-Lithuanians (Old Prussians) and the Wends (Slavs) and thus decrease the Teutonic hopes for revenge. This is the only way to end Prussian Junkerdom and militarism. 9. Opening the markets for the coming "super-production" hero, and obtaining for the increasing production a supply of raw materials. "America's ability depends upon an organization which will make certain the control of markets," the statesmen here affirm, and the L.

League is such an organization. "Slavia" is the United States' best source of unlimited supply. 10. Pacifying ail kinds of political troubles and preventing wars, bloodshed and pogroms. MAJ.

list he told me to write "England," "Germany," "Italy" and "Bolshevik! Ruia," and Germany had a circle around it with a line leading to the left. "And tho United States?" I asked. "There." he said, and he marked a circle midway between two lists'. "You see." he added, "it all depends the United States of America whether or not these combinations are formed. Tho forming of these combinations means war war more terrible than the last war; a war of race extermination," The curved lines from the circle ot the top indicating "London" led to "Eng- the British reserves for the Allenby expedition against the Turks in Asia Minor.

He has also omitted to re mind his reader tbut in 1917, after the conference of Calais, Lloyd George gave NivOlle authority to issue orders to Haig, but neglected to inform the British commander-in-chief that he 1 had done so. So, when the British 5th Army, under Gough, was Wiped off the map in March, 1918, it cannot be accepted as ingenuous, this charge of Captain Wright's, that Haig delib- erately shelved Gough's support, par- i ticularly when Captain Wright re- i verts to the conference of Calais incident to prove that Halg is just that sort ot cuss who would do such a thing. The main argument of the book is thts: Foch, as chairman of the executive board of the Supreme War Council, planned massing a big reserve from both British and French' forces to be in ready touch to support Gough, who was to be the bait to drag Luden-dorff on in March, 1918. The order was issued as a request in February. Petain, anxious, of course, that he should be.

separated from the British, and Haig. hoping to be swept back into the sea, met and intrigued to stalemate Foch's plan. They agreed to overlap, in case of attack, but to cling to their reserves. Haig took over more of the line. Then Gough was abandoned, while -Haig well, it docs not appear Just what Haig did.

Foch, In the meantime, knew nil this was happening, saw the plot and did nothing. Lloyd George knew it and did The British 5th Army was broken, the Germans poured into the gap, and the French and British gave way. The book ends with the Battle of St. Qurntin. Now, then.

To a reasonable mind, if Foch and Lloyd Georgo knew all this, why was Haig allowed to remain In command? Ijloyd George said ho was afraid to remove Haig because the people and the army believed In him. That is a fine admission for patriot and a statesman to make! It immediately nrouud Germany moans that Germany may shift. There may be changes In the combinations." "In plain English It all means what?" I asked. "It all means," said he' "that the United States must be the leader in a Union of the Grent White Race to save the world for the Groat White Race. This union with this country at the head- as the mighty and strong Riid just Power Is the only thing that can save the world from being over-! run and dominated by tho Groat Col-i orod Race.

On which side Germany casts her fortunes, on which side Eng-I html casts her fortunes, on which side France casts her fortunes will be en-J tirely due to the action taken by the United Stales of America. With all tho While Races united the world would be secure. With the White races divided and conniving with the Colored Races well then comes chaos." White Races Pulling Apart and Thus" Helping Colored Races. I got his point, which was this: The whole world Is upset, Germany, beaten, humiliated, with her colonies lost, her country disrupted, already Is planning for rehabilitation. With whom will she unite with Bolshevik Russia, with Japan? And England what of England? Already Lloyd George has fumbled.

Me has smiled at. Bolshevik Russia. And France? Already France haw felt the compromising policy of England ioward Germany, tho ancient foo of France. And Japan? Tho master mind of Asia, keen, powerful, ambitious, fanatical nnd un-Chrlstlan-ized. So there we have it.

Germany seeking revenge; England looking for the main chance for trade and power; Franco walling at the drop of the hat to join any side that will fight Germany, ith tho belief that her very Ufo demands it: Japan looking for a Colored World dominated by Japan. "But the power rests here in the United States to save the world from all tills." said General C'herep-Spirldo-vlch. "ft this country will take the leadership, the English-speaking. Latin and Slav races, now so friendly with one another, can be firmly united if NOW that the victory is won and the great leaders have told how-It came about, including von Hindenburg, it remains for the junior officers and civilians to tell the world how rotten alt generalship was during the conflict. The first blast came from a war correspondent, Sir Phillip Gibbs.

And now the second, by Capt. Peter E. Wright, assistant secretary to the Supreme War Council, in his book, "At the Supreme War Council" (G. Putnam's Sons). Of course, the original' condemnation of Allied strategy was born around the mess table of junior officers.

Every second lieutenant in the American Army could tell accurately why every mistake was made by every American general. The same applies to the British subalterns, only more so, for they had four years ot good practice at damning "the brass hats." The French aspirant was equally well informed on how things should have been done after they had failed. The fact of tho matter is that the war was won; nobody hopes it will crop out again; good generals, being only human, made bad mistakes and even some junior officers pulled "bones" on the firing line. To this prelude must be added a preface of startling substance. Lloyd George, not Petaln.

Halg or Foch, evolved the strategy which won the war. In fact, Captain Wright cannot contain himself in his praise of the shifty Welshman, who alone has managed, of all the Allied beads of states, to bold on to his office since the signing of the Treaty of Versailles. In the role of a master-mind, beating Hindenburg, Captain Wright, tt rt true, has omitted to ascribe to Lloyd Georgo the impoverishment of suggests the theory that Mr. Llyd George was not quite sure in his own mind that the sending of the big expeditionary force to Asia Minor under Allenby, which Captain Wright assures us was the. child of the British Premier's own mind, was not a colossal error at that moment, in view of what happened to Gough.

Halg's reserves were depleted to do it. Reserves on defense are the difference between defeat and victory. Naturally Petain and Huig were reluctant to yield their reserves to a general reserve fund of troops when they were expecting an assault of the whole German masses directed against one or the other individually. Tho fact that they had a written agreement describing what each would do in the event of the expected attack dors not necessarily convince one that they were traitors to their country. A casual reading of Captain Wright's book conveys the Idea that Halg was stupid and thick and Petain was the reincarnation of MachiavelU, using a dolt of a British general to satisfy his grudge against Foch.

Captain Wright admits that Foch bad no defined authority at that time. In heat of battle, authority counts. Haig nnd Petain may have erred in judgment, but there is nothing to indicate that their theories were not sound on ,1.
