Socialists Against War.
Meanwhile there had been rumb-
Iings of an undercurrent of anti-war
sentiment in some o. the big German
cities. The Kaiser drew the attention
or chancellor Won Bethmann- Hollweg
TO the anti militarist doings of the
Sozis in the streets"
Sozis was the contemptuous term
used in those days by German army
anu navy officers for the Socialists.
The Kaiser in his note to the
chancellor declared such doings could
| not be tolerated and if they continued
lie would proclaim a state of siege and
| have the leader locked up.
| The Kaiser then received a letter
in which his "obedient brother Henry"
| reported TO him from Kiel his inter
view with King George in London.
| Prince Henry in this message quoted
King George as having said England
| would try to keep out of the conflict.

revelation

! Then followed a conference between
the Kaiser, the chancellor, and lead
ing generals at Potsdam. On his re-
turn TO Berlin Bethmsnn-Hollweg
asked Sir Edward Goshen British
ambassador to Germany to a confer
ence, in the course OF which the chan
! cellor made a desperate bid for Brit
ish neutrality.
The chancellor protested to the
British ambassador that Germany had
no de ign upon French territory in
Europe.
| Bethmann- HoIlweg's written notes
on this conference show he empha-
sized these assurances. They show,
further, that the chancellor told Grey
| that If England remained neutral this
time sit will enable me to prepare a
general neutrality agreement in the
future of which it is premature to
discuss the details at the present mo-
ment."
Meanwhile the Kaiser at Potsdam
was reading Prince Lichnowsky's
German ambassador in London) dis
patches Of July %, quoting Sir Ed
| ward Grey as saying the situation
was becoming increasingly serious
On the margin on one of these reports
the Kaiser wrote:
THE biggest most uLheard OF
English phariscism I, have ever seen
With such scoundrels I shall never
conclude a naval agreement
On Lichnowsky's accounts of later
conversations with Gray the Kaiser
wrote:
aha! But truly English"
Fury Against England Grows.
| His fury increased as he read that
England would be unable to stand
aside.
! '"They mean to attack u.s." was his
written comment on this.
Then he wrote the notes to the
chancellor. previously published, in
which he uses almost identical Ian

| 1t was on the evening OF July 29
that the Kaiser received the Cars re-
ply to his message of the previous
day. In this second telegram the Cza r
thanked the Kaiser for the latter's
friendly message. which, he said,
was in a tenor quite different from
/ that employed by the German ambas-
sador at Petrograd.
The Car added it ought to be god
! thing TO submit the Austro-Serbian
problem TO The Hague conference.
This message was suppressed in
Germany.
: After scribbling some marks on
message, the Kaiser placed an ex-
clamation mark after the Cars
Hague suggestion.
The chancellor thereupon tele-
Petrograd:
The idea of Hague conference is
out of the question"
War Policy False.
Under the caption, "The Revolu-
tionizing OF the World" DIR. Karl
kautzky, the principal compiler of the
revelations, sums up his conclusions
| as follows:
I'VE know now on what false foun-
dations the whole war policy of Will
helm II and his advisers was buolt.
I Their calculations were as false as
the political policy of Bethmann Holl-
veg.
From the day that Belgium de-
termined to render resistance, and
England entered the war. Germany's
/ fate was sealed.
/ But the Kaiser and his military
/ group trusted in their dreams OF
world revolutions and insurrection
! everywhere. Poland was to be
| aroused as were all Mohammedans.
Ireland and anarchist plots were to be
fomented in Italy.
