SAYS CARS PROMISES TO
POLES AND JEWS ARE LIES

NEW YORK, Aug. 21.-Dr. johann
mes W. Hoving, Finn and revolution
ist OF 2s3 Lenox avenue, who re-
turned this week on the Scandina-
WAN American steamer United
States, gave a reporter today his
view OF the war, its causes and its
probable results.
DR.. Hoving is very bitter against
the Car, not without reason. He has
been an exile from his native land
since 1903. when he escaped, by a
scant margin, the Russian officers
who had been sent to arrest him.
All his sympathy is with the Kaiser.
Here is what DIR. Hoving SAYS:
II am surprised at the misunder-
standing In this country as to the
cause of this war and the general
disposition to place upon the German
emperor all the blame for this ter
rible event. When we received the

formation-evidently derived from
English sources--which the papers of
this country are printing.
The stories here about the execu-
ton of Socialists in Germany are
absolutely false. I was in the Ger
man house of parliament when the
Kaiser made his speech to the legis-
lators and asked for their co-opera-
ton. 1t was one of the most touch
ing scenes I ever witnessed When
the emperor asked them to forget po-
litical differences, to lay party aside.

many-all political creeds for the time

This war is the work of Hartwig,
the Russian minister to Austria,
whose brain conceived the first Bal
kan war and whom the Servian muir
derers of Franz Ferdinand took into
their confidence after the murder.
That murder was instigated by the
Servian government.
IT have talked with attaches OF the
Servian government and with mem
bers of the Servian legislature. They
make no secret of the fact that this
murder had been planned in official
circles. A member of the general
staff was one of the eonsprators.
Other officials were intimately and
directly concerned in 1t. These facts
are known in Servia and throughout
Europe and every member of that
band of conspirators is known and
glories In his share in it.

Twice Austria asked Servia-mildly-
to arrest and punish the conspirators.
Hartwig's influence was such that the
little country defied it's big neighbor.
In the meantime the car had ordered

Then came the sudden death of
Bartwig. He was on his way to Maui

with which he had suffered for years.
With one foot in the grave he had
gone on for years doing the bidding
OF his master, stirring up hatred.

Russia and the czar. His work had
been thorough, so far as sowing the
seeds of hate is concerned. But the
strain was too much for him.
