German business men have beer
blackmailed by Emperor William from
the days Immediately preceding the
war until the present, according to an
article written by August Thyssen
one of the wealthiest members of Ger
many's business community and a
leader of the republican movement
The article was first published in
pamphlet form, but it was suppressed
and the author fined for writing it.
II am writing this pamphlet" the
writer says, because I want to open
the eyes of Germans, especially of
the business community, to facts.
When the Hohenzollerns wanted to
get the support of the commercial
class for their war plans they put
their ideas before us as a business
proposition. A large number of bus
mess and commercial men were asked
to support the Hohenzollern war poll
cy on the ground that it would pay
them to do SO. Let me frankly con-
fess that | am one of those men who
was led to agree.
Could Have Had Peace.
SIN 1912 the Hohenzollerns said that
the war had become a necessity to
the preservation of the military sys-
tenn upon which their power depends.
In that year the Hohenzollerns might
have directed, if they had desired, the
foreign affairs of our country so that
peace would have been insured in
Europe for at least fifty years.
Il was personally promised free
grant of 10000 acres in Australia and
d loan from the Deutsche bank of
$75O,000 at per cent to enable me to
develop any business in Australia. To
several other firms were promised
special trading facilities in India,
which was to be conquered by Ger
many-be it noted, by the end Of 1915.
A syndicate was formed for the ex-
ploitation of Canada. This syndicate
consisted of the heads of twelve great
firms; the working capital was fixed
at 500, 100000, half of which was to
be- found by the German government.
Definite Promises Made.
sThese promises were not vaguely
riyen. They were made definitely by
Bethmann-H olwegg on behalf Of the
,mperor to gatherings Of business
.nen. and In many cases to individ-
al. I have mentioned the promise
The evening leader. (Tarpon Springs, Fla.) 191?-19??, 1918-01-26

| of grant of 10000 acres in Australia
that was made to me. Promises of q
similar kind were made at least
eighty other persons at special inter-
views with the chancellor, and partic-
ulars of these promises were entered
in book of the trades department.
"But mott only were these promises
made by the chancellor, they were
confirmed by the emperor, who, on
three occasions, addressed large pri-
ivate gatherings of business men in
Berlin, Munich and Cassel in 1912 and
1919. / was at one of these gather
ings. The emperor's speech was one
of the most iowery orations | have
heard.
"The emperor was particularly en-
thusiastic over the coming German
conquest of India. India he said, SIS
occupied by the British. 1t is in a
way governed by the British, but it
is by no means completely governed
by them. We shall not merely occupy
India, we shall conquer it and the
vast revenues that the British allow
to be taken by Indian princes will,
after our conquest, flow in a golden
stream into the fatherland. In all
the richest lands of the earth the Ger
man flag will fly over every other
flag
Blackmail in 1916.
"But this is what has happened in
reality. In December of 1916 the
chancellor Bethmann-Holwegg began
to have interviews once more with
business men. The purport of these
interviews again was to get more
money from them. Guarantees were
asked from seventy-eight business
men in Germany, including myself,
that they would between them under
take to subscribe 81, 100000 900 to the
next war loan. Was personally
asked to guarantee a subscription of
81 100000. I declined 70 give this
guarantee; SO did some of the others.
was then favored with private in
terview, with Bethmann-H ollweg's
private secretary, who told me that
if | declined to give the guarantee /

war Office. But not only that, / was
threatened with the practical ruin of
my business If / did not give the

LOWERING FREIGHT RATES.

An order has just been issued by
the regional director OF railroads in
New York establishing a differential
of from 3 TO II per cent for six class
iilcations VI freight on the state barge
canal. as compared TO rates on all
rail routes. The purpose is to slim
ulate shipping by way OF the new
canal, which has not been in proper
ton since the waterway as formal
iy opened. largely. according TO off
cial view, because OF the tardiness
with which habits are changed. The
differential is ordered TO call atten-
ton to the advantage In utilizing the
canal both as TO improving the COM
mon transportation situation by re-
lieving the rail system and in the
difference in freight charges. Tile
draft upon the railroads serving the
territory reached also by the canal
will be substantially lightened by a
full use OF the new waterway. which
Is the other way OF saving all freight

While the canal has been in use for
more than a month. the work is still
incomplete. a fact that will mater

Grating season for barges. one esti-

verse. he says. is the fact. which is
supported by the inference that had |

have been left TO state control. The
chief concern at present is how ship
pers will accept the differential on
the six classifications which can be
cared for in canal barges as well as
in rsilroad cars and at much less ex-
pense for haulage. The country
needs the business. and the differ
ential seems an inviting offer.
