 M xiInilian Harden, a German liberal lead sr, declared the German ruler brought on the war because of his desire for something like world rule
 William often proclaimed his innocence and endeavored to put the onus of the var on the shoulders of the entente al lies In his speech from the throne after the war began he said:
 "In pursuing it's interests the Russian empire stepped in the way of Austria Hungary. Our duty as an ally called us to the side of Austria-Hungary. The sit uation arose not from temporary conflicts of interests or diplomatic combinations but is the result of ill-wfll existing for years against the strength and prosper ity of the German empire.''
 The Emperor, despite his previous ex- pressions of good will for America, gave vent to his anger against the United States when it became evident no offi- cial action would be taken to stop the shipment of munitions and supplies to the entente allies, by declaring to the American ambassador, James w. Gerard, T shall stand no nonsense from America after the war
 Williams designs to spread German dominion in Asia found expression in hla famous visits to Constantinople, when he was proclaimed as protector Of the Moslems. In this the world saw a. cum ming step toward achievement of the German ambition of German dominion from Berlin to Bagdad.
 Friedrich Wilhelm Victor Albert was born January 2. 1859, and became Elm peror William II on the death of his father, Frederick III, June 15, 1888. He came out of the University of Bonn fully prepared to enter the school of state craft Set to work in the government bureaus, he was early taught the routine of official business under the tutelage of the great Bismarck.
 At the death of his father, the imperial throne devolved upon William IT. who was then but 29 years of age. Bismarck continued as chancellor but not for long. Though the great statesman had made every effort to instil his young pupil with his own ideas of government and diplomatic policies, the new Emperor soon found that he disagreed with his grand fathers former close adviser in many , important respects. In 1890 the disagree ment of the two men reached a crisis, a rupture came and Bismarck went. The relations between the two men remained strained for several years. but before Bismarck died peace was made between them.
 With the passing of Bismarck the Em- peror's real reign began. As 8 military man he was a stickler for efficiency. discipline and the observance of etiquette 1 to the last detail And of the details of all these components of army life and training he was familiar to the smallest point. It is related that during the mill itary reviews he was able to detect the slightest imperfection in the equipment or training of a regiment or squadron and called attention to the dereliction sharply. With the principles of tactics and maneuvers, too, he was thoroughly acquainted.

Lenine Orders
Arrest of Kino
OF Rumaniians
Bolshevik Premier Directs
Monarch's s imprisonment
in Petrograd

PETROGRAD, Wednesday. Jan. 16-
frcmler Lenine to-day signed an orde,
Tor the arrest Of King Ferdinand of
Rumania, who is to be sent to Petro-
grad for imprisonment in the Fortress
of SIS. Peter and Paul.
The order, which is signed by Pre-
micr Lenine, calls upon Russian sol
diers and officials on the Rumanian
front to arrest the King and deliver
him IN Petrograd, on board special
train, for Imprisonment. 1t consti-
tutes the latest development in con-
nection with the alleged starving of
bolshevi& troops by Rumanian forces
which led to the arrest of Rumanian
Minister Diamandi and the sending of
an ultimatum to Rumania demanding
the punishment Of the officials re-
sponsible.
The order for the arrest of the King
describes in detail the way in which
he Is to be handled and guarded on
the way to Petrograd. The attitude of
the Bolsheviki in this respect appears
TO be serious, as they believe they have
sufficient forces on the Rumanian front
to carry out their threat.
NO reply to the ultimatum has thus
tar been received from Rumania. The
Bolsheviki take the position that the
treatment of certain Russian troops on
the Rumanian front warrants reprisals
of any nature.
The diplomatic corps met at the
American Embassy at the call Of Min
lister Diamandi, who explained his
treatment while under arrest, and
urged a vigorous protest.
The evening papers declare that the
arrest by Rumanians Of Austrian of
ficers who sought to go through the
Rumanian lines on their way to the
Russian front to fraternize with the
Russians is one Of the principal rea-
sons for the crisis between the Bolshe-
wiki and Rumania.
The Rumanians declared that these
officers broke the armistice agreement
by going beyond certain lines. The
fact of the arrest Of the enemy officers
was Immediately communicated to head
quarters at Brest-Litovsk.
