ment made by Prince Macmillan of
Baden, while chancellor. and the re-
ports Of the Berlin Council of Sol

William Hohenzollern had abdicated
before he left Germany for Holland.
The abdication of the former Ger

More than ever must France remain
in close union with her companions in

American Role Still Large.
But this union to be efficacious,
must be general. 1t is not only the
European Allies which must remain
hand in hand. The role OF the United
States, which was decisive in the lat.
