WHO WAS RESPONSIBLE? ?

"HEY have now reached the stage
in the European struggle where
= each of the rulers most con-
cerned is endeavoring to prove
that he other was responsible for
starting the war. There has Just been
published by London newspaper cor
respondence showing the irrecon-
cilable differences of opinion which
set at variance all possibility of peace.
These letters of the Kaiser and the
Car cover a period of two or three
days in the latter part of July.
Emperor William referred in a let
ter of July 2S to the strong ties of
cordial friendship which so long united
Germany and Russia and expressed
hope that the Car would support his
efforts to remove all the difficulties
that might arise. This was signed
Your very sincere and devoted friend
and cousin" To this the Car replied
on July 20 that he was glad that the
Kaiser was back in Germany "at this
grave moment and referring to Aus
tria's attack on Servia said:
mean war has been declared
upon weak country. The indigna-
tion, which l share to the full, is
in Russia enormous. I can forsee
that shall soon be unable to re-
sist the pressure which is being
brought upon me and shall be COM
PEELED to take measures which will
lead to war. In order to avert a
calamity such as a European war
would be, ask you in the name of
our old friendship to do everything
posslole TO prevent your ally from
proceeding too far.
On the same day the Kaiser replied
to Nicholas that he shared his deare
