KAISER, KING OF KULTUR.

HOW PARIS WOULD HAVE BEEN “KULTURISED.” The Paris Matin exposes a plan which has come into its possession, showing what would have happened i! the Germans had succeeded, and Paris had I’alleu. We read:

“According to the German plan the great city was. in fact, divided into seven sectors, each of which was to receive a garrison of one hundred thousand Germans. Then the Kaiser. at the head of a million and a half men. was to appear before tin' fallen city and propose to what was left of the french Government a truce and pardon in return for provinces and gold, and perhaps also soldiers and sailors to help him in his invasion of Kngland.

Supposing the French Government

refused, what thenPi A first military

execution would he carried out. One of the sectors of Paris would he systematically sacked, public monuments would he pillaged and destroyed, private hanks robbed and then burned, and private houses turned upside down by the German troops. When this ‘example’ had been x made, a fresh ultiipatum would be presented. In the event of a second refusal another sector would be handed over to the military, and so on from example to example, and from looting to looting. They flattered themselves that they would soon have done with France. It would then be time to turn to that ‘slow coach’ Russia, and bring her to her knees with all the forces set free bv this first victory.'’
