Former Krupp Director Proves
Germany Is Responsible for War

Gum1igen, Switzerland, Wednesday,,
June CBy The Associated Press). -
Germany was wholly in agreement
with Austria Hungary concerning the
ultimatun sent to Serbia at the out
break Of the war, says Or. Wilhelm
Muehlon, former director Of Krupps,
in further disclosures on the respon-
sibility for bringing on the conflict.
Emperor William was personally rep
resented for Germanyfs participation
land forced the 'GeEmansleaders to sup
port his war policy.
DR. Muehlon, who was head OF
Fr,pps at the outbreak of the war,
and who recently. startled Europe with
his disclosures, received the CORES
nondent of The Associated Press at his
country place here where he is no"
living in retirement. The WISH caAhe
as DR. Muehlon was preparing to issue
a more detailed review OF conditions
Heading to the war, and the CORES
nondent had been going over docu-
.noents with the personal Explanations
sof the author.
DIR. MuehIon's first disclosures,
switch caused such commotlon, gave
conversations with DR.. Karl Helfferlch'
former vice-chancellor, and LIT. hrupp
won Bohemen, chief owner OF the
lrKrupp works, in which both told MIN
rthe emperor had disclosed his agree
tment with Austria-Hungary on the I'LL
stimatum to Serbia and that Germany
would mobilize Immediately If Russia
rnobilized. which would inevitably
,draw in the other powers and preclpl-
tate a universal war
The whole trend of the present work
is to show that the world conflict was
Imposed by the German emperor S
personal military policy and ms en-
uarement with Austria on the eve CT
the struggle.
Dr. Muelon gives further details
of his conference with Dr. Helfterlch
immediately succeeding the war IN
which HeIfferich told if the emperors
pIans toward Austria and RUSSIA
sAlthough Muehlon had been hercelv
attacked by the German government
and the Reichstag, his present YER
sion is substantially unchanged.
The former Krupp director relates
an incident following the outbreak OF
fine war when the Emperor required
ii, +he German leaders to become in
voluntary supporters of his war
uolfcy. Assembling them as guests,
tha Emperor exclaimed suddenly:
CHOW Gentlemen, advance and, as
I'VE grasp hands promise me you will
stand with me to the last BREATH
Commenting on this, DR.. Muehlon
says:
! The guests could hardly do other
wise when thus babe by their i'm
! perial host in his own castle to shake
hands with him and thus a VOW was
extered, which would he a value only
if given freely"
DR. Muehlon declares that the
| order issued by the crown prince of
Bavaria to the troops in Belgium
amounted to a command to give no
quarter to prisoners. He addressed
them as follows:
ct have received a letter from the
field which brings me the unheard Of
Information that the emperor ha.
himself said he had enough prisoners
and has told his officers he hoped they
would take good care to take no
more prisoners. This news - quite
atthcntical."

"OutWitting the Hum
By Lieutenant Pat O'Brien

diving for the lost shoe had con-
Sumed about three hours, and after
resting some fifteen minutes l went
on my way again. l had hardly gone
a mile when l came to another river,
about the same size as the one l had
Just crossed.
A Bit of Hard Luck
l walked along the bank awhile,
thinking / might be lucky enough to
ind boat or a bridge, but after
walking about half an hour / receiV-
ed one of those disappointments
which comes once in a lifetime"
l found that this river was the one
l had just swan! l had swan it on
the bend and was still on the wrong
side. Had l made only a short de-
, tour in the first place / would have
avoided all the annoyance of the past
three hours and saved my strength
and time.
l was never so mad in my life
at myself as | was to think that |
had not. paid more attention to the
course of the stream before | under
took to cross it, but, as a matter. of
fact there was really no way of Iell-
ing. The river was not shown on my
map at all.
Now 1 had to cross it, whereas be-
fore L could have turned it. L walked
boldly into the water, not bothering
to take my clothes off this time, nor
| did l ever bother to take them off
| afterwards when swimming canals
and rivers. / found it was impos-
sible to keep them dry anyway, and
so might just as we'll swim in them
and save time.
All the next day / spent in a for
est, to which my nights travel had
brought me about o'clock in the
morning. | kept on my way through
| the woods until daylight came, and
then, thinking the place would afford
( fairly good concealment, concluded
to rest until night.
The prospects of even a good sleep
were dismal, however, for about the
time the suns face should have ap-
peared, driZzling rain began and /
! gave up my search for a dry spot
! which would serve as bed. Some
| of the leaves were beginning to fall,
| but of course there were not enough
OF them to form a covering for the
| ground, and the dampness seemed to
have penetrated everywhere.
L wandered around through woods
for two or three hours looking for
| shelter, but without any success, for
| although the trees were large, the
forest was not dense, and there was
practically no brush or shrubbery.
Consequently one could get a fairly
! clear view for some distance, and !
know it would be unwise to drop off
to sleep just any place, or someone
would surely happen on to me.
Human Voices Alarm Him.
Once L came very near to the ends
of the woods and heard voices of men
driving by in a wagon, but couldn't
make out just what they were, and
| instinct told me 1 had better not
come out of the woods, so 1 turned
back.

dead as out of the fashion.
Some striking figure, some phase of
the moment set vogue, and i'm
mediately every woman tried to con-
form to it.
We have them pale and languid,

Some twenty or twenty-five years

for himself by drawing a tpye of
statuesque young woman with

attracted attention and almost over
night the whole country blossomed
out with living renlicas of his Gre
alton. No crossroads village was
so remote as to escape the epidemic;
in every country town Main street

rade of them; the womanhood of
the entire nation, fat and lean, short

itself on the lines of the Gibson Girl

hay out of them, the moralists

all served a purpose.

all laid too much stress on the fact
that the Jewish religion marked an
actual racial distinction, and that
Jew and Gentle was separated not
merely by creed, but by differences

by all the contrasting conditions of
their family lives. Recently on the
stage of one theater the war drive

The first swim was uneventful.

The Eternal Feminine!" 1t is
a catchword that gained vogue and
belongs to an earlier era. to those
sofe and silken decades before the
war when chiffons were the mode
and girls fashioned their converse
ton after the Dolly Dialogues
rather than to these strenuous years
of khaki and a language that is
practically newborn of the trenches.
Adaptability. That is the key
note everywhere for the woman of
1918, and it has completely and eff
fectually put the kibosh on the
dear, old Eternal Feminine" We
are so busy doing the worlds
work and conserving the worlds
resources, adapting ourselves to all
sorts of new vocations and improv-
ing on the old ones, that we really
haven't time to bother with those
qualities which used to set us apart
as a peculiar people.
One can hardly be capricious and
Illogical when one is operating a
turning lathe, or running farm
tractor, or carrying mail. or serv-
ing as conductor on a street car,
Or nursing in a field hospital. The
results are too apt to be disastrous.
One wisely conforms to system and
method.
Gone, too, are the old days of
subtle speech-of not saying what
you mean and not meaning what
you say. When we talk now, we
are direct, business-like, to the

Synopsis of Preceding Chapters
After recounting his enlistment IN
the r. i. 9. IN Canada, May, 1917, and
his transfer to France via England for
active duty, Lieutenant O'Brien tells
of bringing down two German air
planes and of his last flight, in, whlch
he was brought down, wounded, be-
hind the German lines.
After recuperating he was sent 10
an officers prison camp at Courtral.
There he planned his escape, and by
great sacrifice saved two daily ratlons
of bread. He also cleverly conhscated
a map of Germany. Just halt an
hour later he was on a tram Tor q
