Macmillan Harden's
Version of the K aiser's
Suppressed Interview

The most Illuminating discussion in
Germany Of the dangerous Kaiser in
teryiew that was "killed" in this coun-
try and then sunk at sea by German
cruiser-as related in The Tribune yes
terday morning - appeared on Nov.
%, 1908, in "Die Zukunft.' That is,
or was, the paper Of Maximilian Ha--
den. who has been for many years the
unsparing critic OF Junkerism and the
Hohenzollerns generally.
Harden began by protesting against
the undignifed volublity of the Kaiser
with strangers, especially Americans,
TO whom he was continually showing
his hearts shrine Among the
Americans who had reached that
shrine" he said, was William Bayard
Hale. Harden's article continued from
that point as follows:
"The Kaiser talked 70 him for two
hours. But after the London scandal
Of October the leaders Of the For
oign Ofiicc tried hard 20 prevent the
publication OF the story. and caused
by the use of arguments which |

u. S. Field Guns Like
French 75's, Crozier Says
In Annual Report

WASHINGTON, Dec. 17.-Army ord
nance conditions at the beginning Of
the present fiscal year are treated only
briefly by Major General Crozier, chief
of ordnance, in the annual report of
his bureau, made public to-day.
The report shows that up to June 80
orders had been placed for 100000
Enfield rifles, details for the re-cham-
bering of the British standard gun for
American ammunition haYing been
completed June /.
On the machine gun situation Cen
eral Crozier says that several types of
weapons have been found efficient by
the machine gun board, but that pro-
curement of an adequate supply was
a question of securing deliveries.
"ln other words" he adds, "the num-
Der of machine guns on hand when war
was declared was so small that il was
necessary to keep going at the greatest
possible capacity those machine gun
factories which were already in opera
tion and to utilize their output when
the guns so manufactured had been
reported by that board as efficient,
even though they may not have been
reported as most efficient.
Every energy has been bent to Sc
cure satisfactory output, and consid-
cradle progress in this direction is
being made. Funds appropriated to
date are adequate for the purpose"
1t is shown in the report that all
American field guns are to be similar
in calibre to the French 75's. which
have been so much discussed since the
war began. The French semi-automatic
breech mechanism also has been
adopted in modified form, so that
American and French batteries in
France can be served from the same
ammunition factories. Anti-aircraft
guns OF the IS type also have been
adOuted

Sufragists Hail
Women's Entry Into
Practical Politics

"Mls. Catts coup" was the subject
Of many iubilart conversations at suf-
frage headquarters yesterday, where
the women who attended the national
convention in Washington had returned
20 tell their stay-at-hOme sisters all
about IT, II was generally agreed that
the convention IN Washington had
been the most important one ever held
by the National American Woman Suf-
rage Association, because IL marked
the entrance of women into practical
politics When women have appeared
before Congress at other times they
have gone as petitioners, This time
they went with a demand which could
not be ignored without bringing down
on the heads Of its opponents a poll
teal fight in the 1918 election. II was
one thing for Congressman to say to
women:
81 am sorry to disagree with you
ladies, but find it impossible to agree
with your arguments"
IL was quite another for him TO say:
II don't want woman suffrage tC

the opposition Of the women voters OF
