CLAIMS
He URGED LEAGUE
Tells in Book of Suggestion
to Russia in 1905 Which
Was Accepted.
BY the Associated Press.

THE HAGUE. March 13.-In the
tribution in an attempt to show that
Great Britain was responsible for the
world war, former Emperor William
of Germany. throughout always
speaks of himself in the third per-
son. He paints William II as man
who tried for thirty years to main
tain peace in Europe, but says he
was foiled by the perfidious machi-
nations of Great Britain. France and
Russia.
AS long ago as 1905. the former
German kaiser says. he tried to found
league of nations.
Extracts Show Trend.
Although no full copy of the book
is yet availa BILE. and both the former
emperor's encourage and the Dutch
and German governments worried be-
cause of the publication of brief eX-
tracts from It, a sufficient portion of
ed out to indicate the general trend
of the entire work. The leak was
principally due to the Berlin CORE
spondent of the Rotterdam Maasbode.
Under date of April is, 1898. the
former emperor wrote:
AN English proposal for an al
lance of Germany against Russia is
declined in order not to endanger
the worlds peace.
"At the same time Delcasse (then
French minister of foreign affairs)
proposed to the German ambassador
in Paris a German agreement
in order to prevent the Portuguese
colonies falling under British in
fluence. This proposal was not an
swered."
"a proposal" says the book. was
made March "a. 1905. by the former
kaiser to the car and to Witte then
Russian foreign minister) to found
a league of nations consisting of the
triple alliance and the French and
Russian alliance, with the under
standing also that other groups or
separate countries may become mem
bers of the league. The proposal was
accepted by the czar and Witte.
There was no question as to presi-
Dental power over this league.
HaIdane's Mission.
Regarding the mission to Germany
in February, 1912. of Viscount Hal
dane, then Gritish lord high chan
cellor, the book says:
German efforts to conclude neu-
trality with England failed in con-
sequence Of the absurd demand for a
cessation of development of the Ger
man fleet through the curtailment OF
the building of new ships"
The former emperor in the book
deals with the mobilization of 1914.
He says this began as early as April
of that year, and "the mobilization of
the English banks in order to get
large stocks of gold"
Then the kaiser continues:
"June-D ginning of preparations
for mobilization in England. y
June 15-Russian troops called 10
arms in April and May under the pre-
tense that they were TO serve in ms
neuvers and being kept under arms

Be Cleared Away.

Orders have been given for the i'm

frame dwellings in East Potomac

ings were erected by the War De-
partment for military purposes dur

available or needed for any purpose
The quartermaster general, who is
charged with the execution of the
orders, has arranged to sell the build
ings at public auction to the highest
bidder during the early part of next
month.
The condemned buildings in East
Potomac Park are all located in the
section just east of the Pennsylvania
railroad embankment alongside that
portion of Riverside drive skirting the

by troops employed in guarding gov

occupied by Motor Transport Corps

have been transferred to Camp Ben
