THE RICHMOND PALLAD
cretly the munitions which the Berlin govern
ment needed for it's mad plunge into the most
gigantic war of all times. It is natural that the
revelations Of this man, which helped tear off
the mask of duplicity and lies, should disturb the
placidity of the kaiser and arouse a resentment
that is too deep for palliation.
Muehlon periodically jabs the Most High
with revelation that makes him squirm. After
exposing the determined manner in which the
kaiser plotted for war in the crisis when England
and her allies were trying to find peaceful solu-
ton, Muehlon persisted in publishing letters and
documents to support his contention He minces
no words in his condemnation of German intrigue
and purpose. The Philadelphia Public Leader
prints the following letter which Muehlon ad-
dressed to Won Bethmann-Hollwe May Z,
1917:
TO His Excellency Imperial Chancellor Won Bethmann-
Hollweg, Berlin
Numerous and great as have been the mistakes and
failures the part of the Germans since the beginning
Of the believed for long time that might hope
that better understanding and sentiment would gradu
ally pervade among influential personages With
this hope had certain extent offered services
in Rumania during the and ready to help also
in present abode Switzerland as long the object
That averse to any other activity which did not
aim directly reconciliation and reconstruction showed
shortly after the outbreak of the by resgning
position member of the Krupp board of directors.
Since the beginning of this have lost every bit
hope regard the rulers of Germany The
peace offer without mention of the aims, the ex
tended submarine war; the deportation of the Begians
the devastation in France the sinking of British hospital
ships instances of the which have again and
again disqualified responsible authorities to such an
extent that firmly convinced. they no longer
be considered all a weintentioned, fair under
standing. They yet change far they per
sonally concerned but they continue to be
senatves of the German cause AS such they no longer
deserve either patience consideration. The German
people repaa for the infict
cd their present and future and on that OF
Europe and humanity only then when they repre-
scented by other of different stamp 1t is not
injustice that they have brought upon themselves the
world, deficient and imperfect the
latter may be and remain.
The triumph of our military and political methods of
warfare prevailing until would the defeat of
tho highest thoughts and hopes of humanity. We need
only suppose that exhausted, demoralized nation
abhorrng force, would accept from this same
government which had carried the in order to
cognize how deceptive and wretched would be the plight
ard the prospects of the life of the nations.
AS human being and German who has the well
the sled and tormented German nation at heart
with absolute finality from the of the
ent day German regime May everyone who is in posi-
ton to do So act in the May many Germans
be able to do
Since it is not possible for to make this demonstra
ton before the German public have decided that the
proper is to inform exceency of sta nd
point Dr. w MUEHLON
His reputation of the men who now are con-
trolling the destinies of the German empire is as
absolute as it is frank. His opinion is reflected
in the Indictment of Macmillan Hardin in a cur
rent issue of Die Zukunft in which he says:
1--WE know what the enemy wants and we know
that we have government which, calling itself
pan-German or whatever else it likes, only ex-
poets peace through the might of the army and
feels certain of obtaining it in short time. We
may be certain that no words of theirs will ever
gain belief anywhere"
The trckery and treachery of the German
rulers as it is revealed in the disclosures of Lich-
nowsky and Muehon, corroborate what the Allies
have known for four years and which the Most
High has never been able to explain.
