KAISER PICTURED

DIR. Helfferich, Minister Of FL
nance, Tells Of Last
Interview.
FEARED ROYAL COUSINS
Felt That Gar and King
George Were Plotting
Against Germany.
FEARED ROYAL COUSINS
BIZ the Associated Press.

BERLIN, April 5.--A spirited defence OF
the former German Emperor against
charges that he had any responsibility
for the starting Of the world war is made
by DR.. Karl Helfferich in his book enti-
tied "Pre-War History" which will be
issued in a fortnight and which will be
followed in six months by a sequel on
tho war itself.
The former Minister of Finance
sketches a vivid picture of the Emperor s
protests of Innocence and sadness at the
outbreak OF hostillties in a talk on Au-
gust 2s, 1914, at the royal castle in
, Coblenz. The German arms had been
victorious and fortunate outcome OF the
war seemed certain when DR.. Helfferich
saw the Kaiser for an hour In the castle
park
1.-THE Kaiser spoke about the tremen-
dous occurrences of the last weeks in
the most inconsiderate way, and made
upon me the impression of a man who,
notwithstanding that fortune was s1nil-
ing upon his affairs, was shaken to the
depths and heavily weighed down with
the responsibility OF his decisions" says
DR.. Helfferich.
He described to me in his own lively
way the events which led to the war
He called upon God as his witness thai
he had been inspired during his entire
| rule by no higher and holier wish thar
to maintain peace for his people and
better It's lot through peaceful work an6
fortunate conditions Of living.
He RECALLED his last meeting with hi,
| cousins. the Czar and the King Of Eng
land. at the castle In Berlin on the occa.
sion of the marriage of his daughter IT
the year 1913. and spoke of the com
posure he had felt regarding the peace
able intentions Of Russia and England
He was unable to get used to the idea
that all tho assurances of friendship and
peace had been lies and deception. yet he
had convinced himself from. the course
of events that the guests then under his
| roof ALREADY bore plot against Ger
many in their hearts. From the mo.
ment when the seriousness Of the situa-
ton had come to his consciousness he
had implored and begged the King OF
Ergland and the Gar to save the world
from the misfortune of war. He had to
limit the possibility of putting pressure
| upon Emperor Francis Joseph The
Kaiser, had implored the Gar up to the
last moment to stop Russian mobiliza.
ton which would compel us to strike.
After Russian mobilization and
against the advice of his own military
| aids he had given Russia one las,
chance, but everything went for naught.
| Thrice he took his pen in hand before
| he signed the mobilization order. His
| responsibility for has own people finally
left him no other choice. Onr fate was
| now In Gods hands"
DR. Heifferich further quotes the En-.
peror regarding the future OF Germany
| in case 1t should be victorious. The
| most important thing for him was tina,

peaceful cooperation of the peoples OF

DRAFTING OF TREATY
IS TWO WEEKS OFF
Reparation Agreement Ex-

It was stated that reparations had been

TO warrant the belief that an agreement
would be reached by next Saturday on
all the remaining questions, including
the Rhine frontier, the Saar Valley and

A plenary session has been decided
upon for the coming week for the con-

The possibility Of peace by Easter Is
doubted by French newspapers. The
Journal points out that even X the pre-
liminaries are wholly agreed upon by

lions with Germany, which, 1t believes.
will be at least as laborious as the pour
parlers between the allied and associated
powers.

vergence Of opinion in the Council of

fair way to a satisfactory settlement.

| Nevertheless different viewpoints exist
as to ESSENTIAL matters by reason Of the
impossibility OF making the vanquished
pay their debts without imposing sacri-
fees upon them. Those who dream OF
