FORMER KAISER
BLAMES WAR ON
Ex-CHANCELlOR
Interview With Ex-EmperOr Gives
Wllhelm's Version of How
Conflict Began.

Copenhagen, Saturday, November 80
Further revelations showing that
former emperor William of Germany
is seeking to escape responsibility for
bringing on the war are contained in
an article by DR.. George Wagner ap-
pearing in the Cologne Gazette, recit-
ing a conversation which the writer
had with the Emperor just before he
fed. In this interview, the Emperor
attempted to shift the blame for the
world conflict to the shoulders of DR..
Thebold Won Bethmann-H -Hollweg, for
mer imperial chancellor, and Gottlieb
Won Jagow, former minister of foreign
affairs.
Against my will, they sent me to
Norway" William is quoted as having
said. 81 did not wish to undertake
the voyage because of the gravity of
the situation which, after the muir
der of Archduke Francis Ferdinand,
was clear at first sight. But the Chal-
cellor said to me: Your majesty must
take this voyage in order to maintain
peace. If your majesty remains here,
it undoubtedly means war ana the
world will lay to your charge respon-
sibility for this war.
"Well, l then undertook the voyage,
During all this time, received no re-
ports from my government concerning
current events. Strictly speaking,
only learned from Norwegian news
papers of what was occurring in the
world and in this way learned of the
Russian mobilization measures.
But when | heard that the British
fleet had put to sea, returned of my
own accord. They had nearly caught
me. On my orders, German ships re-
turned at once to the security of Nor
wegian harbors. Later it would not
have been possible for them to do So"
The Emperor then mentioned de-
olarations of General W. A. Sounkhol-
imnoff. Russian minister of war, dur
ing the Investigations which occurred
afterwards, which he later altered to
the statement that he had not ordered
real mobilization but only readiness
for mobilization.
The Emperor, however, insisted or
the correctness of the first declara-
ton, according to which the Car had
been induced by the Kaiser to recall
his order for mobilization. He declar-
ed that General Nicholas Januschke-
witch, chief of the Russian imperial
general staff, deceived the Car and
the order was carried out in snite Of
him.
This mobilization the kaiser would
have it, was the final reason for the
war.

INSTALLING CITY'S new
SYSTEM OF BOOKKEEPING
Experts From Cincinnati Here to Give
Full Instructions on New System
Adopted BY the City.

AS a part of their contract the
Deckebach Audit Company, of Cincin-
natl, which furnished the experts to
make a complete audit of the citys
books at the time of the expose of the
Owens shortage, began this morning
to install new and complete system
of bookkeeping for the city.
Mr.. Deckebach, himself, is here with
Mr.. Brandewie to install the system
and to see that the city officials thor
oughly understand it and it's workings.
Under this new system everything
will show up plainly and while it will
take little more work on the part of
the City Treasurer's office it will mean
that the citys funds will at all times
be secure.
The system involves a new set of
books all of which are looseleaf. The
system, Mr.. Deckebach says, is the
most complete and is now being used
by most municipalities that are run on
strict business basis. The loose sys-
tenn of bookkeeping is being discarded.

COUNTY SCHOOLS WILL
! OPEN ON DECEMBER 80
Chunty Health Officer Advises County
Board of Education to Keep
Schools Closed Until First
of the Year.

A The County Board Of Education met
this morning in regular monthly
Meeting at the office of County Super
irltendent Turnipseed and the most
Important topic of discussion among
TIE members was the fixing of the
date for the opening of the county
schools closed under the influenza ban
Of the Health Board.
In order to get the situation at first
hand the Board called DR.. ]. S. Locke,
County Health officer, before them
and asked him for his recommended
tion about the matter. DR.. Locke said
that the situation in the county was
not cleared up enough as yet to open
the schools in his opinion and he ad-
vised that there be no attempt to
open the schools until the first of the
year.
Some of the School Board members
living in districts where there are now
no cases of influenza were anxious
that their schools be allowed to open
at once but the board finally decided
that they had best take the advise of
the Health officer.
