Harden Urges the
Kaiser to Take
Ub His Cross
tBy Associated Press.l

Amsterdam, Oct. 22-'We are
alone. When a fortress can no long
er hold it is no dishonor If the COM
mander surrenders. The kaiser must
take up his cross Of concluding
quickly necessary peace and accept
ing whatever is hard. Let the kaiser
declare himself ready, and let him
fit himself with new Germany as
her first citizen"
This lutterance by Macmillan
Harden. addressed to several thou
sand people in Berlin on Sunday,
was loudly applauded.
Herr Harden, whose plain spoken
language in Die Ziekunft. Of which
he is editor, has caused a suspension
of that journal on several occasions
was permitted, according to the re-
ports of his address. to speak freely
and without hindrance. His re-
markable declaration respecting
surrender and the kaiser's cross fol-
lowed q. review of the situation in
which he pointed out that Bulgaria
was occupied, Turkeys fate sealed,
and Austria Hungary was out of the
fight.
: 1T is one of the most cruel iro-
nies that this war, which was be-
gun to maintain an impossible Aus
tria, should be ended by the declara-
ton of that self same Austria that
it cannot exist continued Herr
Harden 1--WE must shoulder the
consequences of the step taken Oct.
s. There is no shame, in accepting
the consequences Of acts which she
has committed.
1--WE must make sacrifices. The
emperor also must make sacrifices.
He must first adapt himself to the
new Germany and content himself
to represent the nation. He must
remove from his successors all pos
sibility that they will be harmful
to the nation. Then he must bear
his own part of the cross and con-
clude rapidly the necessary peace
and take up on himself the task of
accepting the onerous conditions in-
volved in that.
we must withdraw the German
troops to the empires frontiers and
henceforth demand that the reich
stag assent to a declaration Of war"

All the way from the Spanish
bofder clear around to the English
channel said Mr.. Roosevelt, I'VE
have established aviation stations
SO spaced that the entire coast line
is covered by seaplanes and dirigi-
bles. These stations were built al
most entirely by our sailors. At
each station there is an average of
from 200 to 300 men. This avia-
ton force and our control ves-
sells have been doing such splendid
work that for the last six monthgf
there have been practically no sink
ings within fifty miles of the French
coast. We hope to extend this pa
troll zone to a hundred miles.
In northern France in cooperation
with the British and Belgians, Sec
retary Roosevelt said, there had
been established what is known as
the Northern bombing group, COM

London, Monday. Oct. 21-Speak-
ing in the house. Of commons today
James Thomas McNamara., financial
secretary of the admiralty, said
there was good reason to believe
that all German destroyers and tor
pedo boats which had their bases
at Ostend and Zebrugge have es-
capped to German ports. Every pos
sible step was taken to intercept
them, he said, but he added that,
seeing that passage could be made
at night and that Dutch territorial
water could be used, there was no
certainty that the measures taken
would be efficacious.
