In compliance with the request of
THE Sun for a statement giving the
German viewpoint of the cause of the
present war, Imperial Chancellor Won
Bethmann-H Hollweg granted an inter-
view to-day. In which he made the fol-
lowing statement
For forty-four years Germany by
her personal attitude on international
questions has shown herself peace
protecting power. An overnight war
has broken which was forced upon
us because our existence was menaced
1T Is not matter OF a controversy
OF purely local nature. nor "A question

threatened. was compelled to take
measures for her defence Austria
might expect the support Of the civilized
world in turning legitimate defence
upon her murderous neighbor espe-
cially as she has declared repeatedly
and distinctly that she sought no terri
toria expansion In Servia and only
aimed at ending the outrageous state
OF affairs.
Nevertheless Russia appeared as the
protector Of regicides and attempted by
threats OF armed Intervention to pre-
vent Austria from achieving, her legiti-
mate aims. '.i
We warned Russia that the result
would be a world war Al We neither
could nor would leave our ally in the
iurch. II We looked on while Russia
alone beat the weaker Austria we would
later be compelled to face alone "A still
more powerful Russia.
Despite these warnings. Russia OBJ
stnately insisted on the humiliation of
Austria. The Kaiser, nevertheless. at
the request OF the Gar, continued to
work for peace as he had commenced to
do Immediately the outlook became
dark.
while these negotiations were in
progress and while the Car was still
telegraphing to the Kaiser words o&
peace and friendship, Russia was pre-
pairing for war on Germany, although
Germany had not increased her army

the bout could hardly have failed to

Welsh was inside his opponent in all
the close work, as well as the tern =
