BURNING OF MONEY
CAUSES FOUR DEATHS
Father Stays Girl and Self ;
Baby DroUns; Mother Dies.

Special Correspondence to THE NEW York
HERALD.
BERLIN, Dec. 16.-Because his three
year-old daughter burned the $4,000
marks realized from the sale Of the
family pig Joseph Pokowsld. an Upper
Silesian miner. chopped off her two
hands, killed himself and caused the
death of his wife and baby. This. with
crime in Rehan, Pfalz. in which a
father and mother are under arrest for
plotting to burn their baby in a furnace,
constituted the chief sensations in Ger
man newspapers recently.
Pokowski. who lives in Bogutschuetz.
near Kattowitz, ordered his wife to sell
the pig. Returning from market, she
placed the money on the table, where 1t
was found by the little daughter. The
child burned the money In the fireplace.
When Pokowski returned home he
dragged the child to the woodshed and
after cutting off her hands hanged HIM
self The child died. Mrs. Pokowslli,
becoming uneasy. left the baby In a tub
in which shefwas bathing 1t and found
the bodies of her husband and daughter.
Rushing back to the house, she discov-
cred that the baby had drowned. She
dropped dead from the shock.
in the Rehan crime factory owner
noticed sack on the floor in front OF
one of the furnaces. The fireman ex-
planned that it contained rags. The
sack moved. however, while the owner
looked at it, and he ordered it opened.
The infant son of the fireman was
found inside. The workman confessed
that he was about to burn the child and
that he had been persuaded to do so by
his wife. He and his wife were ar

Wald ersee took the part of the future
ruler but soon changed his mind. Soon
after Wilhelm H. had come to the throne
the Field Marshal noted that he likes
cenunciation very much. He encourages
II in all his court and then overlooks the
fact that nine-tenths of the people talk
as he likes to hear them. AS result he
is stirring up strife which will not end so
easily by the constant repetitions OF at
tacks and SANDERS"

Is disappointed with the development of
the young Monarch. Nobody around him

planned that Bismark was suppressing
individ ualism in the people and now we

and pronounced manner"
Hammann, of "Wilhelmstrasse," in his
memoirs, begins with the opening of the
Kiel Canal in 1895. Never BEFORE" he
says was the briliance of the German
empire so displayed before the world.
But beneath the glittering surface things

apparent, as was his oft repeated con-
viction that he had been sent by God
to rule the nation. Yet unknowingly he
let himself be 6wayed by people about
him until he regarded them as of a
higher intelligence than his own Min
listers. The result was continuous in
terruptions in-1the constitutional routine
of State management without cause"
DR.. Solf. the third critic, is particu-
larly bitter over the flight of the Kaiser
and points out that Prince Max of Baden
did everything possible TO prevent the
abdication of the Emperor. From
everything that could be CLEANED 1t was
believed to be the intention OF the
Kaiser to retire to the army and die
at the head of his troops" writes DR..
Solf "It was generally believed that he
would join his regiment OF guards, and
it IVES universally agreed that only
such q personal sacrifice on his part
could maintain the dynasty. Then came
the flight to Holland, which could have
only a disastrous effect upon the nervous
masses"

BERLIN, Dec. 16.--''Pulling Schild-
buerger'' is the latest German slang ex-
preston used to describe "boners" by
inefficient officials. Formerly. when

of the present Government the interpre-

In medieval times the people of a

Instead of a stern, terrible War
Lord, the former Kaiser was a mill
tary bungler even in the "play war;
of army maneuvers. Instead Of a
master of policy in diplomacy and
foreign affairs which he believed
himself to be. he was a mere novice.
Instead Of the most loved monarch Of
the world he had the fewest friends
Of any person in his Government.
These conclusions are reached by
three important men of the Kaiser's
regime. who have joined the ranks of
the army of memoir writer's, showing
the weakness that lay behind the bluff
exterior Of the former Emperor. The
first of these is Field Marshal Alfred
Count Waldersee, Germany's Chief of
Staff and commander of the interna-
tional expedition in the Boxer upris-
ing. His accusations are all the more

1882 and 1904. He died long before
the world war came, and thus was not

in the foreign department, of Prince Max
OF Baden's Cabinet, is the third.
Field Marshal Waldersee's caustic re-
cital of the Kaiser's actions during the
progress of the Boer war In South Africa
brings out the peevish nature of the
Emperor. In one instance, when he had
received disastrous reports concerning
the British army from one source and
brighter news from his grandmother
Queen Victoria, he flew into rage, and
told Waldersee and others: "The poor

AMNESTY GRANTED

BERLIN, Dec. 16.-At the request of
Gen. Won Lettow-Vorbeck, formerly
commander of the colonial troops and
now leader in the monarchist move
ment, amnesty in his libel suit has been
granted TO the Socialist and Communist
parties and trade unions. The former
General first brought suit for libel
against these organizations and then
asked the court TO be lenient with them.
The alleged libel resulted from pro-
tests of Communists. Socialists and
unions against a Lettow-vorbeck meet

''the good old days" under a monarchist

colonial troops. They branded him as

A Trouble Making Element.

In the projected new order of things
there Is, of course. the trouble making
element of the small Clemencist group,
with Tardieu, MandeI and the few ar
dent fighters for policy of Christening
Germany by constant application of the
whip instead OF kindness. In a two
party system. this group is destined to
be the backbone of the Conservative,
exclusively nationalist Right, but I'm num-
bers and with the Bloc National losing
many of its members to the Opposition
in any reshuffling of the political cards,
the Clemencists, like the Royalist ele-
ment at present. IL Is pointed out. would
have their votes balanced by the Com
munists whose votes on exterior policies
would be thrown in with the Liberal
party. Big business interests also are
said to be inclining more and more every
day toward a policy of rapprochement
with Germany. Notwithstanding the fact
that many of the biggest industries of
France. including the metallurgical and
mine owners. have hitherto been consid-
cred as supplying the financial sinews
of the Bloc National.
According TO reliable information, the
next six months, regardless OF whether
IL brings the downfall of the Poincare
ministry or perhaps only reconstruc-
ton of IL by inclusion of a few states
men from the Opposition such as Her
riot and Loucheur. will witness the
spreading OF an immense propaganda
throughout France for the revision of
party lines. Headquarters are to be
established in every prefecture. and al
though some of the Invaded departments
and the conservative departments of
central France are expected to proclaim
themselves for a continuation OF pres
ent policies. careful survey of public
opinion is said to have shown already
that France is not only ready but anx-
ious for n trial OF two party system,
with everything favoring the election of
Liberal majority at the polls two years
hence and in numerous intervening mu-
nicipal elections.

go to pieces If the strict Communism
which prevailed from 1917 to 1921 were
allowed to continue even six months
longer. This was admitted by Lenine In
the speech he made on November IL.
II Communism is thus a puzzle to
those Western democracies which be-
lieve in compromise, give and take,
patience, Lenine is still more OF a
puzzle. being himself the quintessence
OF Communism, an embodied theory.
To the Western foreign offices in par
ticular he must be somewhat of
paralyzing enigma. such an enigma as
a healthy man who lives on one dog
biscuit day might be to confirmed
gourmets. For territorial acquisitions
he has all along shown disregard
such as has never before been shown
by the head of any State since history
began, and which Is in violent con-
trast to the acute land hunger from
which most of the Cars have suf-
fered since the days Of Peter the
Great.
