MUNICH, Nov. 28.-A weeks stay has
modified somewhat first fugitive i'm
pression The general situation in Ger
many inspires misgivings. In Bavaria
strong Prime Minister, Kurt Eisner,
stands no nonsense from the Right or
tho Left The outlook has hopeful feat
ures Elsewhere the directing hand is
lacking.
In Berlin The political confusion is
greater than ever. The position of
Scheidemann and David and the other
majority Socialists is seriously shaken.
The apathy and inarticulateness of the
great mass of the population is the
most disquieting feature. Unless men
like Eisner can successfully oppose the
growing activity of the Soldiers and
Workers councils, an extreme Left die
tatorship may be established before the
National Assembly meets.
The demobilized troops will decide
the scale in favor of order or disorder.
Bitterness continues at the Allies re-
fusal to modify the armistice condi-
ton. The present government bases
its plea for reconside eration of these
conditions on the following arguments ::
First--Any danger Of military or i'm
perial reaction is past. Second-The
new movement is genuinely democratic.
Third-The refusal to raise the block
ade will promote Bolshevism.

Foreign Affairs in the German Cabinet,
TO a correspondent of "The Express" on
Sunday.
"I think" he continued, "they may
he sufficiently punished by the inter
national odium they have incurred"
Discussing the war, Haase said:
"The guilt Of starting the struggle
lies with both German and Austrian
militarism."
The German government has CON

Hohenzollern princes to leave Germany
on condition they leave their fortunes
behind, says dispatch from Amster-

Emperor's fourth son, however, and his
wife are going to Argentina as soon as

Word From Wilson
To "Co Get KAISER

LONDON, Dec. 3.--The British War
Cabinet and the French and Italian
representatives in London are In agree
ment as to the proposed punishment
of William Hohenzollern. the former
German Emperor. but have decided to
take no action until President Wilson
arrives in Europe, "The Evening News"
says it learns.
If Holland refuses his extradition
without the consent Of Germany, the
newspaper adds, pressure will be
brought to secure consent.
According to 'The Exprcss," de-
mand for the surrender of the ex-
Kaiser will be submitted to the Neither
lands government in the name Of all
the Allied cabinets. The views OF
France and Italy have been fully com.
municated to the British government
and President Wilson also has made
suggestions relative to procedure ir
the case.
The opinion is held that Holland viii

way. She will not be asked to deliye

in Germany, and there is an absence OF
class dictatorship, of which, in South
Germany, at least, there are disquiet-
greater understa standing among vari
Gus classes here, and in the govern
ment and out of it. Clericals, Social
lists and Liberals are trying, amid the
foundations OF a less ambitious but
prosperous Austria.
The economic situation, on the other
hand, is vastly better in Germany than
here. Prices here are fabulous. Food
stuffs are almost unobtainable and the
misery of the people is very great. The
disposition of the population here is SO
good that it would be a great pity if
misery and want were to drive it on the
eve Of the peace conference into ex-
cesses and disorder
Entente Very Bitter
People here, as in Germany, do not
fully appreciate both the extent and
bitterness rightly felt in the Entente
and the neutral countries for the origi-
natcrs of the war.
A larger view Of the situation never
theless suggests that contented Ger
man-Austria might play a useful part
in new Europe, and the only way to
make it contented is to relieve the eco
nomc misery which prevails.

was collecting greetings from German
war leaders to illumine the first war

the smoke Of the first Marne scarcely

Then He Planned Verdun
A little later he was planning the
adventure of Verdun. A dashing air
as the countless lines of German troops
filed out to the sacrifice.
The dawn Of 1915 found his public
attitude unchanged.
"1f the new year brings decision,
with the help Of God" he then wrote
in his New Years greetings to his
men, "then only one thought must in
spire us: Forward with God, for the
Emperor and Germany, toward a great
future"
When, early in 1917, his father pro-
mOLed MIN TO inc full rank OF general,
he was still keeping strictly to him
self the realization that a continuation
of warfare could not save Germany.
In another communication to his
troops, congratulating them on tho cir
cumstances Of his elevation, he said:
II enter this fight with the firm con-
viction that my army group will vic
toriously face every enemy attack, SO
that we shall all justify the confidence
which his majesty and the Fatherland
place in US, and will pass through all

Colonel Declares Wilson Is
at Peace Table as One Of
Allies, Not as Umpire
His Speech Is Criticised
Address to Congress Failed
to Make the Programme
Clear to Nation, He States

"Stand by cur Allies" is the central
thought in a statement dictated to
reporter by Colonel Theodore
in Roosevelt Hospital, yes
terday. The statement in effect Is the
Colonel's answer to Mr.. Wilson's ad-
dress before Congress, and in 1t he de-
clares that Mr.. Wilson's place at the
peace conference is mot as an umpire
between our Allies and our enemies,
but to act Loyalty as one Of the Allies"
The Colonel, who is fast recovering
from an attack of sciatica, which sent
him to the hospital squarcly contra
diets Mr.. Wilson's assertion that Amer
lea was fighting for his fourteen points,
declaring that "Amcrica was fighting
to smash Germany" and that not one
American soldier in 1000 ever heard of
the fourteen points.
The Colonel further declares that the
right of England to have the largest
navy should be conceded instantly, that
England should be allowed to hold the
German colonies she has captured, and
that the United States must insist on
the maintenance of the Monroe Doc
tfine and Of the right to close the
Panama Canal to enemies in time Of
war.
Programme Not Explained
"President Wilson has. not given the
slightest explanation of what his views
are or why ne is going abroad. lie
pleads for unity, but he Is himself
responsible for any division among the
American people as regards the peace
conference at this time.
"He has never permitted the Ameri-
car people to pass OH his peace pro-
posals, nor has he ever made those
proposals clear and straightforward
AS FOR the fourteen points, so far as
the American people have expressed
any opinion upon them, it was on No
vember 5. when they rejected them.
"What Mr.. Wilson says of these
points is sheer nonsense. He says the
American army was fighting for them

in the name of the French government.
The Presidential train will arrive in
Paris on the morning Of December 10.
PARIS, Dec. 3.--Tho fleet which will
meet President Wilson on the high
seas on his way to Europe is being as
at the American naval bases
at Brest, France. and Portland, Eng
land. The dreadnoughts in the fleet
comprise the largest ships on this side
Of the water including the New York,
the Oklahoma and the Nevada, under
Admiral Rodgers. The destroyer con-
tingent will number twenty-four ves-
sells.
To Go 1900 Miles Out
The fleet will proceed 1900 miles out
to sea, where the meeting with the
steamship bearing the President, with
it's escort, will take place. Admiral
Mayo, ON board the escorting battle
ship Pennsylvania, then will take COM
mand of the combined fleet of ten
battleships and twenty eight Destroy
ers, the latter including the four pro-
ceeding with the Pennsylvania. a
stop will be made at the Azores, prin-
cipally to insure supply Of oil for
the destroycrs.
1t is probable that French and Brit
ish warships will meet the, incoming
American feet at later stage, but no
notification to this effect thus far has
reached the American authorities. II
is said, however, reports that proioi
nent personages are going on boart
the Pres idents ship before its arriva
are unwarranted, us any such formal
ties will await his landing.

New-York tribune., 1918-12-04

Why, there was not one American sol~
der in thousand that ever heard or
them! The American army was fight-
ing to smash Germany. The American
people wanted Germany smashed.
Not Accepted by Allies
"The Allies have never accepted the
fourteen points. The United States
has never accepted them. Germany
and Austria enthusiastically accepted
them. Here certain individuals, IN
cluding President Wilson, Mr.. Hearst,
Mr.. Viercck, as l understand it, and
number of pro-Germans and paclhsts
and International Socialists have ac-
cepted them, but neither the American
Re eople nor the American Congress mas
accepted them.
"Mr. Wilson himself has rejected at
least one of the fourteen outright and
has interpreted another in the directly
opposite sense to it's plain and obvious
meaning.
Says Points Are Vague
"Thc simple truth is that some of
the fourteen points are thoroughly
mischevous under any Interpretation
and that most of the others are 50
vague and ambiguous that it is non
sense to do anything with them until
they have been defined and made
definite.
:.Inasmuch as Mr.. Wilson is going
over, it is earnestly to be hoped that
it is his business not to try and be an
umpire between our allies and our
enemies, but act Loyalty as one OF
the Allies.
ave have not suffered as much and
we have not rendered as much service
as the leading Allies. 1t. is the British
p,.if cb ND
Italian armies that have done the most
to bring about the downfall of Ger
many and, therefore, the safety OF
the United States. 1t is our business
to stand by our allies.
British Navy Needed
"The British empire imperatively
needs the greatest navy in the world
and this we should instantly concede
to hers, and we should have the sec
ond navy in the world. Similarly
France needs greater military strength
than we do, but we should have al
our young men trained to arms or
the general lines of the Swiss system
"The freedom of the seas. Is {
phrase that may mean anything OF
nothing If it is to be interpreted as
Germany interprcts it, it is thoroughly
mischievous. There must be no in
terpretaton of the phrase that woulC

of any future war from repeating the
tremendous service it has rendered il

Blames Ludendorff for All
Il though that the Verdun attack was
a mistake. We should have attacked
would have been great probability OF
success"
The ex-Crown Prince was rather
bitter regarding the work Of the gen
eral staff, which he asserted was re-
sponsible for numerous mistakes, in
Guiding the attack in March, 1918, which
he was ordered to make, contrary to
his own view, and was compelled to
obey. He declared that Ludendorff was
the handspring of Germany's warlike
activities, while Won Hindenburk was
mere fgurehead.
Ludendorff and his staff, he said,
continually undsrestimated the enemy's
forces and never believed that Amer
ica's contribution of soldiers was as
great as it actually proved to be.
Admires President Wilson
Frederick William declared himself
to be an admrer Of President Wilson,
who he felt assured would bring about
peace of Justice for the German peo-
Pile, and concluded:
"Any humiliation of q nation con-
tanning seventy million people would
only leave a feeling of revenge. Such
! nation cannot be crushed"
