EMPEROR Il SCAPEGOAT?
Writer Says Kaiser Bore Unme7ted
Blame for KRUGER Telegram.

Berlin. Jan 31.-The ''F>uersten Correspon-
denz" which IS read by the Emperor. the Crown
Prince Chancellor Won BGlow and other hish
nersonases. announces conspicuously the COM
ing publication Of a book entitled William the
second" which is q strong defence Of the En-
peror and exonerates him from the authorship
Of the famous kruger Telegram"
The author OF the book, Adolf Stein says tna'
the telegram did not originate with the En-
peror but that it was well considered answer
by the Foreign Office 10 inquiry from the
Transvaal and was. IN fact, roundabout way
of refusing German Intervention in the South
African war The writer goes on 70 say that
the Emperor objected 10 the telegram. but al
lowed himself TO be overruled by his officials
and for twelve years remained silent and bore
the blame while working incessantly to prevent
the worst consequences of his advisers blunder
The book also represents the Emperor as the
scapeEoat OF an incompetent bureaucracy in the
crisis Of June 1905 and in recent months and is
full OF special pleading for the misunderstood
and Inisrepresented Emperor"
The telegram referred TO was sent by the
German Emperor to President KRUGER on jan
uary s. 1896. in which the Emperor expressed
his sincere congratulations on the suppression or
the jameson raid. In his telegram the Emperor
said:
slluported by your people and without appealing
for help TO Friendly powers, you have succeeded
by your own energetic action against the armed
bands which invaded your country as disturpers
of the peace, and have thus been enabled TO re-
store peace and safeguard the independence OF
your country against attacks from without
