mann OF, the Independent Republican,

today. ."The reason is that the So

in 1914 are too closely attached to

On the question OF the present po-
sition and the future of the former
German emperor, DR.. Muehlon said:
ut would be far better for US FOR
the allies to- keep the former kaiser
than to return him te us because we
should not know what to do with

ruin OF our peoples
When asked whether in his opinion
the former emperor was responsible
for the war. DR.. Muehlon replied:

never have come"
DR.. Muehlon thought large indem-
mites, should be paid by Germany to

considered that a sum as large as

Referring to the position OF the
Krupp works, the former director Of
this munition plant said:
-.Fhea Krupp factcry~was built sole

ammunition and for other war pur-
noses: An effort is being. made there
