Urges Kaiser to Surrender.
AMSTERDAM, October 81 (by the
Associated Press).-"We are alone.
When a fortress can no longer hold
it is no dishonor If the commander
surrenders. The kaiser must take up
his cross of concluding quickly neces-
sary peace and accepting whatever is
hard. Let the kaiser declare himself
ready and let him fit himself with
new Germany as her first citizen"
This utterance by Macmillan Har-
den,. addressed to several thousand
people in Berlin Sunday. was loudly ap-
plauded.
Herr Harden. whose plain-spoken
language in Die Zukunft, OF which
he is editor. has caused suspension
of that journal on several occasions,
was permitted. according to the re-
ports of his address.Sto speak freely
and without hindrance. His remark
able declaration respecting SURRENDER
and the ''kaiser's cross" followed "a
review of the situation in which h.

pied, Turkeys fate was sealed ar

riotous demonstration.
Must Shoulder Consequences.
'It is one of the most cruel ironie
that this war, which was begun T.
maintain an impossible Austria
should be ended by the declaraticn
of that selfsame Austria that it can
not exist" continued Herr Harden.
I'VE must SHOULDER the consequence
of the step taken October S. There
is no shame in accepting the conse-
quences of acts which one has COM
mitted.
1--WE must make sacrifices. The en-
peror also must make sacrifices. He
must first adapt himself to the new
Germany and content himself to rep
resent the nation. He must remove
from his SUCCESSORS all possibility
that they will be harmful to the ma
tion. Then he must bear his own
part of the cross and conclude rap
| idly the necessary peace and take
upon himself the task of accepting
| the onerous Conditions involved in
| that.
I'VE must withdraw the German
troops to the empires frontiers and
henceforth demand that the reichstag
assent to a declaration of war"
