Bavaria Would Open Negotiations
With the Allies

London, Dec. 2.-Bavaria will open
negotiations for separate peace with
the Entente Allies, according to an

between the governments of Berlin

The Government of Germany is sup
ported by Field Marshal Won linden

posal, and refuses to resign or to
dismiss DR.. w. S. Sdlf, foreign sccrc-
tary in the coalition cabinet, or DR..
Matthias Ergbergar.

SAYS TRY HOHENZOLLERN
Times Urges Allies Not to Drop the
Case

London, Dec. 2.-Discussing plans
for bringing to justice former EN-
peror William of Germany, The Times
asserts that eff we had to single one
culprit for punishment, he would be
the person.
The paper adds that the argument
that he cannot be punished because
there are others who also are guilty
cannot be admitted.
"By that argument" The Times
continues, ga felon caught in the act
would escape punishment because
there are other felons who have not
yet been brought to Judgment, and
neither law nor common sense would
listen to such plea.
Besides, it is not proposed to pun
ish the Kaiser alone. There are others
too, who will be placed on trial, but
he is the chief because most highly
criminal.
"The argument against doing what
we can to bring this arch criminal to
justice is that at present he is 4.
mean and contemplate figure, hiding
his head from the ruin he brought on
his country, and that if we prosecute
him we may somewhat impart dignity
to him.
"On the other hand ;. how can
respect for international law in the
future be based on the immunity Of
the principle offender against it's pro-
visions in the past?"

EX-KAISER TRIES TO
shift THE BLAME
Says Bethman-HOllweg and Jagow
Responsible for War
SAYS HE WAS KEPT IN DARK
First Heard of Russia's Mobilization
He Declares, Through Nor
wegian Newspapers

Copenhagen, Dec. 3.-Further rcvc-
latlons showing that former Emperor
William of Germany is seeking to es
cape responsibility for bringing on the
war are contained in an article by DR..
George Wegener, appearing in the
Cologne Gazette, rccounting a convcr.
satlon which the writer had with the
Emperor just before he fled. In this
interview the Emperor attempted to
shift the blame for the world con-
.llct to the shoulders of DR.. Theo-
bald Won Bethmann Hollweg, former
lmperior chancellor, and Gottlieb van
Jagow, former minister of foreign af
fairs.
Against my will they sent me to
Norway" William is quoted as having
said, II did not wish to undertake the
voyage because of the gravity of the
situation after the murder of Arch
duke Francis Ferdinand, was clear at
first sight. But the chancellor said to
me:
Your majesty must take this vow
age IN order to maintain peace. If
your majesty remains here, it un-
doubtedly means war and the world
will lay to your charge responsible
ty for this war.
Shut Off From News
"Wcll, | then undertook the voyage.
During all this time / received no re-
ports from my government concern
ing current events. Strictly speaking.
| only learned from Norwegian news
papers of what was occurring in the
world, and in this way 1 learned of
the Russian mobilization measure.
"But when I heard that the Brit
ish fleet had put to sea, returned
Of my own accord. They had nearly
caught me. On my orders German
ships returned at once to the security
Of Norwegian harbors. Later il would
not have been possible for them to do
So"
The Emperor then mentioned dec
!arations of Gen. w. A. Soukhomli-
noff, Russian minister of war, during
the Investigations which occurred af
tcrwards, which he later altered to the
statement that he had not ordered real
mobilization but onlv readiness for
mobilization. The Emperor, however,
insisted or the correctness of the first
declaration, according to which the
Gar had been induced by the Kaiser
to recall his order for mobilization
He declared that Gen. Nicholas Jan
USckcvitch, chief of the Russian i'm
perial general staff deceived the Car
and the order was carried out in spite
Of him. This mobilization, the Kaiser
would have it, was the final reason
for the war.
Compelled to Prepare
"The Russian war party at the
court" the Kaiser continued, chad al
ready in the spring Of 1914, compelled
the Czar to make preparations for
war. From that time Siberian regi- |
ments were gradually drawn west
ward. They were told that manocuvcrs
were the reason for these movements
and thus they marched on to the
Volga river, and further westward
until. they reached Wilma, where they
were suddenly handed out loaded
cartridges and told that they were
new going to fight in earnest.

Another Auto Horror.

The most fearful automobile acct
dent, perhaps, which ever occurred is
that depicted in the great moving pic
ture drama, 1.-The Whip" where the
brakes fail to work. and after a wild
ride in the dark, down steep zig gag
mountain road, the auto with its occu-
pants plunges over an embankment to
destruction.
. Since the tremendous success of The
Birth of a Nation throughout the
world of filmdom it has become hab-
it to compare any big motion picture
production with this great success to
prove its merit to the public. AS big
as The Birth of Nation" has been
frequently used, but up to the present
none have offered with the promise of
excelling this great success.
Now however. comes The Whip, =
not with the claim las big as, but
bigger, more spectacular more Thrill
ling, and more interesting than any
previous picture.
The Whip is a tremendous pro
duction of the famous play which ran
for two years at the Drury Lane
Theatre, London; one year in New
\ ork, six months in Chicago, six
months in Philadelphia. two months in
Boston and two years in Australia.
The play has been witnessed by over
fifty million people. yet it has never
appeared in more than dozen theatres
in the world. owing to the magnitude
of the production, which prevented its
appearance in any bat the very largest
theatres in the world.
Now. however. the motion picture
camera has been utilized to bring out
this exceedingly meiodramatic story in
a bigger. better more exciting and
realistic way than it was ever possible
upon the spoken stage.
The production il shown in eight
reels, consuming two hours time upon
the screen. and during all that time
there is said to be not single drag
ging moment Thrill follows thrill IN
rapid succession. not minor thrills that
have been done again and again in
motion pictures, but new sensations
presented in a new and more exciting
way. Beautiful photography and scenes
only add to the glamour of the enter
tainment while such scenes as the fox
hunt, the tour of the Eden Musee. the
thrilling auto wreck. the railroad disas.
ter, the spectacular horse races and
hundred other sights leave the spec
tator in turmoil of exeitemene.

From Mr.. Warfield


Southeast Arkansas Levee Board
Office of the President
Readland, Ark,
July l6, 1918.
Hon. w. S. Goodwin
| Washington. ID. c.
My dear Mr.. Goodwin:
| have the honor to acknowledge re-
ceipt of your very interesting letter of
the 10th. inst and note that receiving
my letter with further reference to
the employment by the Sunny Side Co.
of interned enemy aliens, you have dis
cussed the matter with the Department
of Justice, and the Department has at
your instance instituted an investiga-
ton through the office of the District
Attorney of this district and is expect
ing special report on that situation
now daily, etc, and just as soon as
the Department receives its special re.
port you will write me further and ask
that appropriate action be taken. OF
all public Improvements necessary to
the development of this community,
the levee system il most vital.
The population of this community is
1905 American, and with the sinking
of the Lusitania, the murder of Edith
Cavell and other atrocities fresh on our
minds, and the death list of our sons
and brothers daily growing larger, We
simply cannot bring ourselves to re-
gard these Huns who now occupy our
levee at Sunny Side with any particn
lar love or affection, neither can we
appreciate their desire to relieve the
labor shortage here. when we have an
over production of cotton and laborers
are 90 badly needed in the wheat belt
Ii seems to me that even should our
opinions be based upon a miseoncep
ton of German honor and kultur. to
intern these men in such uncongenlal
cline might prove to be an injustice to
them while on the other hand, should
a sense of duty impel them to take ad-
vantage of this opportunity to bring
desolation and sorrow upon thousands
of the enemies of their country, then
an irreparable wrong will have been
done this community.
| therefore feel constrained to be-
lieve that after the Department of Jus
tice has completed its investigation and
taken into consideration the fact that
the entire population of this valley
south of Sunny Side and east Of Red
River is affected. they must conclude
that happy solution would be to re-
turn these Huns from whence they
came and leave US free to solve our la
Dor problems and shoulder our burdens
in the future as we have in the past.
Yours very truly.
c. Warfield.
