CHAPTER v.
The Kaiser Defends German Wal
Methods.

Methods.
The kaiser was always very careful
about everything which might affect
his health, and even after the war
started, when his attention was natu-
rally occupied by many pressing prob
lens, he did not neglect his teeth, but
came to me as regularly as he had al
ways done.
Of this I was very glad, because II
gave me an opportunity to draw the
kaiser out on many of the interesting
questions which the war suggested
and which 1 found him always ready
to discuss. Perhaps the fact that /
was an American led the kaiser to
greater lengths in his justification OF
German war methods and measures
thar he might otherwise have thought
necessary.
The first time 1 saw the kaiser after
the war started was about August 10,
1914. Between eleven and twelve
o'clock the night before, l had been
notified by telephone that the kaiser
would like me to attend him at the
Berlin palace the following morning
at nine o'clock. He was about to make
his first visit to the front and wanted
his teeth examined before he went.
The work l had to do for him was
nothing of a serious character and did
not occupy more than twenty minutes.
One of his Wallets stood by to give me
any assistance 1 might need, but left
the room when l was through.
"Have you been reading in the pa
pers, Davis the kaiser asked when we
were alone, show our soldiers have
been treated by the Belgians?"
1 said 1 had not had a chance tc
read the papers that morning"
"Well, you must certainly read them
They've been gouging out the eyes Of
our wounded and mutilating my meI
horribly They call it modern, civil
ized warfare. That's savageryl
hope your president is taking notice
of these atrocities"
OF course l was in no position Il
contradict the kaiser's assertions, a
/ was not in possession of any of tn
facts. but l learned afterward tina
four American newspaper correspond
ents had secured Germany from on
end of the country to the other in al
effort to run down these reports. The.
left no rumor uninvestigated. no mat
ter how far they had to travel to ver
ify it. When they had finally exhaust
ed every clue and followed every lea
they had not found a single case t
justify the charge the kaiser had mad
against the Belgians and which, q
course, the inspired German press col
tinued to report from day to day.
The object of these lies vas to jul
tify the outrages which the German
were committing in their plan to tel
rorize the inhabitants of the countrie
they were ~overrunning. According I
reports the activities of franc-tireul
in the occupied territories were me

barrie punishments, cruciixiOn an

lions of the President, 1t adheres also
to the same point OF view contained in
the last note upon the rights OF the
Austro-Hungarian peoples, especially
those of the Czechoslovaks and the
Jugoslavs.
Consequently, Austria!Hungary ac-
cepting all the conditions the Presi-
dent has laid down for the entry into
negotiations for an armistice and
peace, no obstacle exists, according
to the Judgment of the Austro1Hun-
garian Government, to the beginning
Of these negotiations.
The Austro-Hungarian Government

without awaiting the result of other
negotiations. to enter into, negotia

Theyare Getting Out Occupied Teroy
SLATE DUST PARTIAL CAUSE
Autopsies Performed on castteton
Pneumonia Victims.

Brattleboro, Oct. 2s.-Fhat the pres
ence of stone dust in the lungs was a
subsidiary exciting caase Of pneumon,
il which caused the deaths OF three
employees OF the Staso Milling Co. OF
Castleton, upon whose bodies autops
les were performed recently Is the
opinion Of DIR. B. II. Stone Of Burling-
ton as expressed in a report to Attor-
ney General Ii. G. Barber Of this
town.
The company, which operates a
slate stone grinding mill, lost several
employees by death, pneumonia follow
ing influenza, and It was thought pos
sible that something about their occu-
patton hastened their deaths, so au-
topsies were authorized and were per-
formed ON Arthur Lindstron. Robert
Johnson and Qnat Ost
Much stone dust was found in the
lungs, but there was no arsenic In
the dust Dr. Stone says in closing
paragraph
"While there is no direct evidence
from the autopsy that this pneumonia
would not have followed the influenza
infection as it did without the pres
ence of the dust, it can hardly be
doubted that such an amount Of for
eign matter acted as a subsidiary ex.
citing cause"
