1 EX-KAISER TRYING
i 10 ESCAPE BLAME
I FOR CAUSING WAP
i COPENHAGEN. Nov. 30 (By The
Si Associated Press) Further revela-
I Lions showing that former Emperor
William of Germany is seeking to es
cape responsibility for bringing on the
war are contained in an article by Dr.
George Wegener, appearing in the Co
logne Gazette, recounting a conversa
tion which the writer had with the
emperor just before he fled. In this
interview the emperor attempted to
shift the blame for the world conflict
to the shoulders of Dr. Theobald von
Bethmann-Hollweg. former imperial
chancellor and Gottlieb . von Jagow,
former minister of foreign afrairs.
"Against my will they sent me to
Norway," William is quoted as having
said. "I did not -wish to undertake the
voyage because of gravity of the situa
tion "after the murder of Archduke
Francis Ferdinand was clear at first
sight. But the chancellor said to mo:
" 'Your majesty must take this voy
age in order to maintain in peace. If
your majesty remains here, it un
doubtedly means war and the world
will lay to your charge responsibility
for this Avar.' Well, I then undertook
the voyage. During all this lime I
rcreived no reports from my govern
ment concerning current events.
Strictly speaking, I only learned from
Norwegian newspapers of what was
I J occurring in the world and in this
way I learned of the Russian mobili
:iation measures.
"But when I heard that the British
fleet had put to sea, I returned of my
own accord. They had nearly caught
me. On my 'orders, German ships at
I once returned to the security of Nor- j
wegian harbors. Later it would not :
have been possible for them to do so."
The emperor then mentioned declar
ations of General W. A. Soukhomlinoff
Russian minister of war, durlqg the;
I investigations which 'occurred after-
wards, which he later altered to the
I statement that ho had ordered real
mobilization but only readiness for
; mobilization. The emperor, howevor,
insisted on the correctness of the first
declaration, according to "which the
czar had been induced by tho kaiser
to recall his order for mobilization.
He declared that General Nicholas
i Tanuschkevitch, chief of the Russian
imperial general staff, deceived the
czar and the order was carried out
in spite of him. The mobilization, tho
kaiser would have it, -was tho final
reason for the war.
The Russian war party at the court,
the kaiser continued, had already in
the spring of 1914 compelled the czar
to make preparations for war. From
that time Siberian regiments were
gradually drawn westward. They
were told that maneuvers Avcre the
reason for these movements and thus
they marched on to the Volga river
and further westward until they
reached Vilna, where they were sud-
j denly handed out loaded cartridges
j and told they were now going to fight
in earnest.
; "In fact," said the kaiser in ending
j the Interview, "Russian troops-were
j already over our frontier before the
Avar was declared."

BOOTLEGGERS AT
UNiONSTAT!ON
DENVER, Colo., Dec. 2. Members
of tho state constabulary stationed at
the union passenger station in Denver
to prevent the importation of whisky
are becoming experts al guessing I he
contents of suitcases and grips with
out opening them, according to Capt.
Harry F. Allen of the constabulary.
"I think that our men are not wrong
more than once in a hundred times
when they stop a man and ask him to
open his suitcase," he said. "One
look at a man carrying a suitcase is
usually sufficient to tell them whether
they aro dealing with an ordinary
traveler or a bootlegger."
A suitcase filled with whisky, he
said, weighs from sixty to eighty
pounds. A man cannot carry it. with
a loose careless grip of the hand. An
other thing that members of the con
stabulary havo observed is that a
heavily loaded suitcase strikes a man's
leg.

IN j THE BOARD OF HEALTH j
AUSTRIAN SMS
REPUBLICS MUST
BEAR WAR DEBT
VIENNA, Saturday, Nov. 30. (By tho
Associated Press) Dr. Alfred Treichl,
managing director of the Anglo-Austrian
bank, which has a working cap
ital of $50,000,000 and branches
throughout tho former Austrian em
pire, in an interview today witli the
Associated Pross said:
"The biggest question the world is
now facing is whether the free trade
or the high tariff principle shall be
applied between tho nations and, In
particular, what the United States will
do in this respect. On this question
depends certainly the economic pros
perity of the former central empires
and possibly their political happiness.
"The dimensions of the war cortain
ly havo been too great for Austria.
We aro overloaded with Avar debts
though it must be remembered they
are largely internal, with two or three
billion crowns owed to Germany and !
also small loans obtained in the Uni- I
ted States before that country ceased
its neutrality.
"We havo. among ourselves merely
exchanged materials for paper money,
notes and bonds. One problem wo arc
facing is for each of tho new republics
to make up its accounts and divide
the war debts, so that each will know
where it stands.
"Never in history, however, has any
enterprising people been crushed by
debts. If we can produce wo can pay
back all our debts in ton years. .But
the great difficulty is how to start;
production.
"Wlinl vr nrnrl 5n Ansirin first la
food, so that we can keep ordor; and
then raw materials for manufacturing
which arc in the hands of our for
! mer enemies.
"The important point is will the
.United States send us rnw matorials
'against a loan? I say the United
' Stales because it has copper and cot
! ton and nobody on earth can do bus
iness without American colton. Pos
! sibly South America could sell us wool,
but doubt exists if it will be able to
sell on time.
"Financial holp for the former cen
tral empires must come from the Anglo-Americans.
They aro the only na
tions able to furnish aid of this kind,
as France no longer is in (ho position
of money lender to other countries.
"Tho peace conference should ar
range first to pay our debts outstand
ing abroad, later collecting from us:
and socond, should provide us with
financial means and give us raw ma
terials. "Those terms apply to tho former
Austrian empire. As regards the Gor
man republics and their war indem
nities they arc richer than aro we.
They also hold more foreign stocks and
bonds.
''It appears that Vienna Is doomed
as a big center. It is a big head on
a small body. But a deader city will
be Trieste, which, always a crime
against nature, was kept alive artifi
cially by rebates. For instance, coffco
entering that port enjoyed a lower
tariff than tho tax by way of Ham
burg. Czech exports also were givoni
low railroad rates which induced us
to use the Trieste route. The samo
facts arc true of the Hungarian port
of Fiume. Even as a neutral port
i Trieste has no future. Italy cannot
afford to make the sacrifices made
I by Austria through pride. Whatever
i oversea trade the new republics will
; have will go by way of the Danube
I river and the Black sea route, though j
the Czechs probably will use the North I
sea. (
"I don't think there will be inimed-,
lately more wars among us if the al
lies can send help now to prevent Bol
shevism. But it will be observed that
the Czechs are making inroads into
the territory of their German neigh
bors which may sow seeds of later
troubles. The Czechs are now rich
and going well. Their revolution is
not socialistic but business-made,
with imperialistic tendencies.
"It is said the allies intend to set
tle forever wars breaking out in the
Balkans, I hope so. But I suggest
tho reading of tho first lines of tho
document of the peace conference of
Vienna in 1815 when the allies, on ov
erthrowing Napoleon, agreed to pre
vent future wars and to erect a new
Europe. That solution lasted one hun
dred years. If the one now made lasts
another hundred years it will do well."

MMINHT TO
SOLDIER BOYS
A .letter which well shows the atti
tude of Ogden men now in the service,
concerning the erection of some fitting
monument to the memory of those
from this town, who have paid the su
premo sacrifice "over there" was re
ceived today from James Martin, a
former Ogden boy now stationed at
Penn field, Austin, Texas. The let
ter is addressed to editor of the
Slandard and is as follows:
"A short time before I enlisted, I
read an editorial written by you. sug
gesting to the people of Ogden that a
monument of some appropriate design
bo erected in our city to the memory
of our- boys who gave their lived so
willingly for the restoi-ition of peace.
"On Sunday, November 10, tho day
before tho news of th9 signing of the
armistice, had the pleasure of listen
ing to an address delivered by Mayor
Woolrldgo of this eit.s at a memorial
held in the Majestic theater. Being in
tho radio band I was given a front
seat where I could hear pvery word
that was spoken and watch tho differ
ent expressions on the dear old gen
tleman's face. And in the course of his
remarks, after reading tho names of -tho
honored dead, he said:
"People of Austin, we aro going to
erect a monument for these boys, and
we are going to build it of the best
granite money can buy, so that the
weather will never wash or wear their
names away. We want our children's
children to know that we ldvcd and
honored these dear ones who were will
ing to give their lives that others might
live in peace.'
"I would not have thought sn ::iuch
about it had It not been that Austin's
population is but 35,000, and ihey have
already erected eight monuments to
the memory of her dead soldiers, three
of which I am enclosing poctcard pic
tures, that you may see the sort of
monuments the people of Austin be
lieve in.
"I congratulate you, Mr. Francis, on
your suggestion of some time ago and
do hope that the people of Ogden will
take it seriously. For my experiences
in the army have taught me that the
boys nre deserving of the best wo can
give them in the shape of a remem
brance. "Joseph Boerens and myself are the
only ones from Ogden at this flying
field. We have drilled and studied hard
to fit ourselves to actlvoly participate
in tho effaccment of the Hun And al
though it has been a disapoplntment
to not have been able to get across, J
wo are satisfied that we have done jJ
our best And inasmuch as it is over jl
a discharge will be appreciated so M
that we can return home to our loved m
ones in Ogden. M
"Again congratulating you on your m
most splendid suggestion, I beg to re-
main yours vcxy truly.
