KAISER EX|lES NOTED GERMAN
 OPPOSING WAR

1 GUMLIGEN, Switzerand-One of
 the most interesting characters in
 Switzerland today is Dr. Wilhalm i Muehlon, whose recent revelations
 of German political and diplomatic secrets of the days before the war at time when he was in confi- i dential touch with the high councils of the Imperial German government lied to official surveillance over his movements and finally to his ex- pulsion from his native land.
 His disclosures, which have creat- ed sensations in the Entente capitals have been regarded in many quart CTS as faithful interpretations of events which contributed to the outbreak of the war and as con- elusive proof that the German em- peror's machinations were respons- i ible for the world conflict. They
 led to German government state ment in the Reichstag that he was not pathologically responsible, and
 today he lives the life of retired farmer on the outskirts of small
 Swiss village. Once he was a di- rector of the great Krupp war es- ] tablishment-a position he took at the request of the German Foreign office-and a conspicuous figure in civil and official circles.
 A man of forty-five years, tall and broad-shouldered, with yellow Saxon hair and small mustache, pr. Muehlon, challenger of the Ger man emperor's own version that he endeavored to maintain peace, from time to time addresses his com-pat- riots across the border with vigor- ous and independent views which he declares, a great many Germans share secretly. His personal ap- pearance shows none of the nervous agitation which the German authori- ties have sought to attribute to him. He declares he has never had to consult a doctor; physically and mentally he seems man of iron. Dr. Muehlon was asked how he could be an opponent to militarism and war, particularly the present struggle, aIl at the same time be a director of Krupps, the greatest war machine in the world
 That appears to the inconsist- ent." he said, 'but the explanation is simple. l have always been op- posed to war, and even to large com binations like Krupps, as my inclin- ations were toward the welfare and equality of the people and the ad- justment of differences by reason instead of by force But it was felt desirable to have on the Krupp directorate various shades of opin- ion, even though not in strict accord
 ance with the war activities of the establishment, so that all views could be expressed and something like common agreement obtained on the many vexing problems presented. To that end 1 came into the organ
 ization, at first in a subordinate position and later in the directorate. It was stipulated, however, that my activities should be mainly devoted to the branch not engaged in war work, for Krupps has two branches of about equal size, one devoted to war work and the other to work unconnected with war. Insensibly. however, my work in one branch drew me into the other, as my ex- perience in international affairs led to my being consulted on war ar engagements having any international bearing, such as the armament of Turkey"
 Dr. Muehlon went on to tell of l his growing dislike to the war work and his final determination to give up all association with it even at the sacrifice of one of the most import ant business careers in Germany. Dr. Muehlon has brought with him
