Macmillan Harden Says
HohenzoIIern Had No Part
in Ordering War.

LONDON. December 9.-Maximilian
Harden. editor of the Zukunft of Ber-
lin said to the correspondent of tho
Express. according to a dispatch from
the German capital, that the impress
sion abroad concerning former En-
peror William is false one. He said
that he himself had suffered too
much through the former emperor to
incur a charge of Partially. but that
it was a fact that William Hohen-
Zollern had no personal part in will
ing the war. but was a mere tool in
the hands of the military party, by
which he was regarded as coward.
Feared He Would Refuse to Sign.
when the moment for declaring
war came the militarists were afraid
he would refuse to sign the declara- :
ton" said Harden. THE former en-
pcror missed his vocation. He was
never happier than when posing in the
limelight. He ought to have managed
cabaret or taken show on tour. He
was great Snowman"
Declaring he knew when America
came into the war that Germany
would be beaten, Herr Harden said:
Il fought with the censors to tell
the people this, and when President
Wilson published his fourteen points
] advocated their acceptance because
j knew we could not get better or
more favorable conditions.
Scheidemann' View of Ex-Kaiser.
William Hohenzollern already has
been sufficiently punished. but it is es-
sential that his part in causing the
war should be clearly established.
says Philip Scheidemann, the former
German secretary of finance and colo
MES. in an interview with the repre-
sentative of the Express. He said the
establishment of state tribunal to
try all persons guilty of causing the
war is being discussed, but must be
decided by the national assembly.
Herr Scheidemann, according to the
Express. said, further. that DR.. w. S.
Solf. foreign minister. remains in the
government because it is believed he
has the confidence of Great Britain
and America.
The eventual government Germany
will have will be republican in form,
"a United States of Germany" Herr
Scht idemann predicted.

Would Simplify Accounting.

In the war risk insurance bureau
this would greatly simplify the &C
s iSos points out. 1t would provide
q convenient method of payment for
the insured and promote the habits OF
thrift and saving and enable the in.
sured to carry a larger amount OF
insurance by bringing the method of
payment Of premium within the
ments. and SO far as the bureau is
concerned placing the business on an
annual payment basis.
Fourth. The form of policy onered
in conversion should afford the FULLEST
measure of protection for the de-
pendents and for the man In the
event of total disability and provide
the means for an old age income with
such a graduation of premium costs
as not to make the increase In the
cost of insurance from the present
Insurance to the converted policy too
sudden.
Representative Browne argues tnat
there is an immediate need for this
Hesitation proposed by him.. The
ayeraxe policy held by the soldier Is
SS.745. This amount of insurance is
beyond the financial ability of the
average man to continue after ne
has been mustered out of the serv-
ice. and. unless the conversion to
some regular and permanent form OF
Insurance is arranged for such
when he is discharged, there will De
an enormous lapse in the number OF
men who now carry insurance in the
bureau, and those who do SO termi-
nate will be the best and most pre-
ferred class of insurance risks.
