EX-KAISER'S 5 LETTERS BURNED
kautsky, However, Says He'll
Print All Documents on War

Paris, jan ALI the correspondence
of the former German emperor which
was kept at Potsdam has been burned,
as well as a number of documents deal
ing with internal questions, according
of the Matin by Carl Kautskyy who Is
preparing a white book dealing with the
origin of the war. He said that the
book would contain all diplomatic docu-
ments bearing on the war from the as
sassination of Francis Ferdinand the
invasion of Belgium. 1t would be in
three or four volumes, and the first vol
ume will appear within fifteen days The
book will contain many papers anno-
tated in pencil in the handwriting of
the former emperor. Kautsky said that
not one paper was missing from the
Foreign Office.
Kautsky would not say who, in his
opinion, appeared to be most compro-
missed, but remarked that in the white
book there would be many letters from
Count Won Tschirsky. German ambas-
sador In Vienna, and few from Baron
Won Schoen, German ambassador IN
Paris, at the outbreak of the war.
According to Kautsky. the report that
n German Crown council had been held
July s, 1914, to decide finally on the
q,festion Of making war was incorrect.
The former German emperor. kautsky
said, had a conference on that day with
a small number of prominent Germans.
and II was decided 10 support Austria
in her demands on Serbia.

INTERVENTION OPPOSED
By the Associated Press

| London, Jan. Russian affairs are
causing the British Foreign Office con-
siderable anxiety says the Mail. The
necessity of formulating a definite Allied
policy as to Russia is extremely urgent
and 1t has been decided that the Rus
sian question will be the first to be dis
cussed at the Peace Conference, it is
said.
1t is presumed that all the Allied
nations are overwhelmingly against
armed Intervention by an expeditlonary
rorce' says the newspaper. The British
Government has also decided that an
expedition is impossible preferring to
encourage the creation of a stable gov
ernment In Russia, although the origin
or such government Is at present quite
obscure.
In the meantime, munitions and in
structors are being sent to the true
Russia armies in the south, in Siberia
and the forces on the borders of Poland
and Finland. Large cargoes of food
were recently sent to northern Russia
for the people living in districts under
Allied control There is no likelihood of
the Allied forces on the Russian coast
being withdrawn.
Ufa, capital of the non-Bolshevist Gov
ernment in the area west of the Ural
Mountains, was captured on Tuesday by
the Bolshevists. according to a Russian
wireless dispatch received here. ON the
same day the town of Sterlitamak, south
OF Ufa, was captured.
The message adds that the Lithua-
nian bourgeois government, feeling its
position endangered, has left wilma for
kovno.

Copyrfoht. 1919. by Nep York Times Co.
CebIens. Jan. 2.-One month ago yes
terday the American army entered Ger
many. In that time the Americans have
administered the affairs of some million
Germans, living In an area of 5000
square miles. without friction or dis
turbance. There has been not one I'M
toward incident.
Coming among people naturally hos
tile. the Americans, by their good be-
havior and moderate policy, have earned
regard for themselves, so that now It is
no exaggeration to say that our soldiers
are popular along the Rhine.
The army OF occupation has started
tho new year with a resolve to keep on
wishing to go home until 1t gets there.
There was not a man in the American
army who wanted to go home before
November II. know of none who has
not wanted to go home ever since then.
The men are not having a bad time
along the Rhine, but it is very dull and
that does not suit the doughboy. They
came overseas for action, and when af-
fairs reach the stage where there is no
action he wants a ticket home TO the
United States
He has resigned himself now to stay
Ing here until peace is consummated, but
II is going to be a disappointed contin-
gent that is ordered to do any police
work after the peace.
To get the American soldiers view.
point one must realize that he is not, as
a rule, a professional soldier. He does
not take much stock in soldering when
there Is no fighting going on.
Many of the men gave up good posi- |
tions at home when they Joined the
army. Many have families which have
been undergoing sacrifice so that the
men could go and help defeat Germany |
Now these men want to 20 home and |
the Government cannot take them too |
soon.
That Is how the Third Army feels
his New Years day. As for the SOL |
diers' celebration, it was n very mild
affair. Cafes all over the sector had TO
stop selling drinks at o'clock in the
evening, which means that they closed
soon after.
