KAISER ADVOCATED
BECAUSE HE DIDN'T
WANT CIVIL WAR
Guards Commander Says
There Were Sufficient Loyal
Troops 10 End Revolt.

BERLIN. April 7 (Associated
Prcss)--While admitting there was
difference OF opinion among German
Generals as to the practicability OF
fighting to maintain the Imperial
regime in November, Count Schulen-
berg, Commander OF a Guards regi-
mcnt, maintains IN an article on the
abdication Of Emperor William, pub
lishcd In the Freiheit, that there were
enough loyal troops to have marched
on Aix-la -Chapelle and Cologne and
put down the revolution.
The Count says that Field Marshal
Won Hindenburg and Gen. Groener,
frussian War Minister. would not as
sumo the responsibility for such a
move. however. arguing that things
had gone too far and that only the
abdication OF former Emperor Will
lam could save the situation. The
Emperor. he says. was emphatic n
declaring he did not desire civil
war and that he would not call upon
the army TO engage in such a conflict.
Internal conditions becoming worse,
William at length agreed to Count
Schulenberg's advice to abdicate as
| Emperor, but not as King Of Prussia.
Field Marshal Won Hindenburg en-
dorsed this course, but, In the opinion
of Gen. Groencr, it was too late, al
though 1t might have saved the situa-
uon two weeks earlier.

It is probable that the preparatory
meetings will take place in the for

War Council, and that the treaty will
be signed in The main palace at Yer.

The statement Of Lloyd George yes

and French SO il they have con.

much nearer
The Americans. were the original
peace date forccasters, naming March

basis OF the American conclusions, an
agreement appeared possible on each
OF those dates. A settlement has since
been delayed far bcy ond the American
forecast, obviously through no fault

The more optimistic OF the dele

reparatons, would be cleaned up to-
day. The task for the past two
weeks has been centred on the Brit
ish and French getting together on
this problem. Lloyd Georges pre-
election pledges and French promise.
Of making the Germans pay the ful,
cost of the war have been the stun
bling blocks.
Leading bankers from the Scand.-
navian countries, Holland and other
neutral arrived in Paris to-day to
coniC" with the financial experts OF
the peace conference regarding Ger
man credits in their countries.
So rapidly has tho peace deadlock
been broken that President Wilson
has cabled the Navy Department in
Washington ordering that the llncr
George Washington, on which lie has
made his European voyages, be made
ready Immediately for another trip
and asking how soon the big vessel
may be expected TO arrive at a Frencn
port.
I In his statement to the Matin. Mr..
/ Lloyd George authorized the prod.c-
/ ton that the German plcnipotcntIde
les would be summoned TO Versailles
tu sign the peace preliminaries by
April 10, and that he expected 10 be
back in London by the end OF Aprl!.
He asserted positively that there
has been no divergence between the
negotiators" and that they were IN
fun accord. 10 prove this he cited
tue question OF reparations due by
Germany, asserting the entire Allied
principle was that Germany must
pay to the last farthing OF her
power" But. he added, 1t was nee
essary TO ascertain Just what that
sum would be and to secure means
to guarantee its payment.
Mir. George attacked the persons
who had been spreading false news
regarding the delays and alleged DIS
cords In the Peace Congress, declar-
ing they merely gave aid and comfort
to the Germans.
Let public opinion wait for a few
days" he concluded. Then II will

A delightful hospitality was char
acteristic of the occasion, which
started with musical contest

blanks to be filled in with musical
terms, and the one filling in the most
receiving prize.
Punch and cake were served, and
then Miss Williford was given a
slip directing her to search for some
article. When the article was found
a slip of paper was in it with good
wish from the donor and her name,
telling her to look in another direc-
ton.
This proceeded until so many beau
tiful things were showered on the
bride-elect to be used in her new
home.
Mrs. j. H. Bennett entertained at
a luncheon on Friday at her home

ment to Miss Frances Williford.

Among the compliments paid Miss
Frances Williford on the occasion of
her marriage to Mr.. W. F. Bailey
was an informal bridge party of
three tables given by Miss Elizabeth
Seize at her home on Fifteenth
street on Thursday.
The prize for top score was a
deck of cards, won by Miss Brigham,
while the guest of honor was pre-
scented with a set of cluny lace mats.
Miss Williford wore costume of
dark blue satin and Georgette

ATLANTA, Sept. %. - If you

hole has added a few more gray hairs
to the collection already on the heads
of the men who keep Atlanta street

If Atlanta could have fenced in
that block by permission of city

down into the hole, the stree car
company might have made up in a
measure the fares it has lost by rea-

When a man has stood on one

on another corner half an hour with
the same result, only find that he
should have been standing still on
a third corner, he's not apt to be in
a good humor with anybody; and
of course the car company is the

Disabled soldiers, as well as widows

claims to residents of Georgia.
In addition to the insurance and
compensation claims now being paid

rapidly being adjusted following an
investigation by bureau representa-
