. ADVISERS FOR WAR
Says Bethmann HoIIweg and
JagoW Got Him to Norway
Through Falsehood.
By the Associa ted Press.

COPENHAGEN, Saturday, November
30.-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 DIR. Georg Wegener, ap-
pearing in the Cologne Gazette, re-
counting a conversation which the
writer had with the emperor Just be-
fore he fed. In this interview the en-
peror attempted to shift the blame for
the world conflict to the shoulders OF
DR.. Theobald Won Bethmann Hollweg,
former imperial chancellor and Gott-
foreign affairs.
Went Against His Will.
Against my will they sent me to
Norway" William is quoted as hav-
ing said. II did not wish to under
take the voyege, because OF the grav-
ity of the situation, after the murder
of Archduke Francis Ferdinand was
clear at first sight. But the chancellor
said to me:
Your majesty must take this voy-
age in order to maintain peace. II
doubtedly means war and the world
will lay to your charge responsibility
for this war
Well. I then undertook the voyage.
During all this time l received no
reports 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 learned Of the
Russian mobilization measures.
Returns of Own Accord.
But when 1 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 1t would not
have been possible for them to do 50
The emperor then mentioned decla-
rations of Gen. W. A. SoukhomHnon,
Russian minister of war during the
Investigations which occurred after
ward, which he later altered to the
statement that he had not ordered
real mobilization, but only readiness
for mobilization. The emperor. how
ever, insisted on the correctness of
the first declaration. according to
which the czar had been induced by
the kaiser to recall his order Tor
mobilization.
He declared that Gen. Nicholas
Januschkevitch, chief of the Russian
imperial general staff. deceived the
czar and the order was carried out
in spite of him. This mobilization, the
kaiser would have it, was the final
reason for the war.
Compels Car to Act.
'The Russian war party at the
court" the kaiser continued, had
already in the spring of 1914 COM
PEELED the czar to make preparations
, for war. From that time Siberian reg
H~ents were gradually drawn west
ward. They were told that maneuv-
ers were the reason for these move
inents, and thus they marched onto
the Volga river and further westward
until they reached Wilma. where they
were suddenly handed out loaded
cartridges and told that they were
now going to fight in earnest. -
t In fact" said the kaiser, in ending
the interview, Russian troops were
already over our frontier before war
was declared"

helm !Auehlop~ former director of the
Krupp worn5 az Essen has been re-
called to Berlin by the iTsw German
government. He will be offered s

Sensational revelations in which he
charged that Germany was wholly in
agreement with Austria-Hungary for
the starting of the world war were
made by DR.. Muehlon last summer.
Emperor William. he asserted, was
personally responsible for Germany's
participation in the war and forced
the German leaders to support his
war policy.
