NEW YORK, November 21.-What pur-
ports to be an absolutely accurate and
authentic synopsis of the interview OBJ
tanned from Emperor William of Ger
many by DR.. William Bayard Hale. and
subsequently withdrawn just as it was
is printed by the World today.
The World declares the article as orig
inally written was submitted to DR.. Hale
and that 1t appears today las changed by
Dr. Hale
The interview is said to have taken
place on the imperial yacht Hohenzollerr
off Bergen, Norway, while DR.. Hale was
the empe3or's guest.
Summary Of Interview.
The World summarizes the main points
of the emperor's interview as follows:
THAT King Edward of Great Britain
had been humiliating for more than two
years, and that he was exasperated.
That Germany Was the paramount
power in all Europe, and that all England
was trying to neutralize that power
That he held France in the hollow Of
his hand. and that Russia was of no ac-
count since the disastrous war she had
waged with Japan.
That if the pan-European war, which
had been so much talked about, was in
evitable. the sooner it came the better
1t would be for him, because he was ready
and was tired Of the suspense.
THAT Great Britain had been q de-
bor Vic
the Transvaal and the Orange Free
State, because hers was an unrighteous,
ungodly cause, and Divine judgment was
bound eventually to overtake the power
full nation that waged such a war.
England Faithless to Christianity.
That the Anglo-Japanese alliance was
an ubiquitous alliance against all the
white races. England proving absolutely
her faithlessness as a Christian nation.
That Japan was honeycombing India
with sedition and flooding it with spies,
while protesting openly to be England's
friend and ally.
THAT the only way to counteract this
alliance was for Germany and America
to act together at an early date. or
America would have to fight the Jap
anese In ten months.
THAT in the event of a great war
England would lose many of her large
colonies, especially those in the Pacific,
and that all he would take for Ger
many would be Egypt, though he would
liberate the Holy Land from the yoke
of the infidel-presumably meaning the
sultan.
THAT the perfecting of the Zeppelin
dirigible balloon would give Germany
a powerful advantage in war, and she
was ready to make use of it to the
fullest extent
Knew Purpose Of Interviewer.
The World declares that Emperor Will
liam knew when he made these state
ments that DR.. Hale was an American
newspaper man and maya zine writer, but
that, nevertheless, the statements were
made without reservation and that no
secrecy was imposed.
The interview had been favorably ar
ranged through the German foreign office,
it is said, and that. at the conclusion of
the interview, DR.. Hale returned to Berlin
and told officers Of the foreign office of
the success he had had.
They forbade him to publish it," the
World story continues. Then they ex-
planned to him at some length that even
a hint at possibilities serious coming
from one who had been the emperor's
guest might throw the whole world into
the most disastrous war of all time.
THE attitude of these officials is said
to have been that the emperor was irres-
ponsible when he gave way to such fits
of temper"
1t is said that DR.. Hale obeyed the
instructions Of the foreign office in the
preparation of his interview. but later,
when the manuscript was submitted to the
high German officials. they are said to
have so butchered 1t that little which was
worth while was left"
1t was in this final FORM according to
the World. that the article was ac-
cepted by the Century. 1t was practically
ready for publication when the request
came from Berlin that even the inter-
view in it's revised form be suppressed.
Then the electrotypes and all copies
of the interview were destroyed before
the public announcement that the inter-
view had been withdrawn was made
