COUNT KESSLER
ADMITS GERMANY
PARTLY TO Blame

WilnamStown, Mass. Aug. Count
Harry kcssler. former minister Of the
German republic to Poland. admitted
.ttute of Politics at Williams College
tonight that Germany was partially
responsible for the war. He declared
however, that the treaty of Versailles
was based on the assumption that Ger
many was wholly responsible and that
he did not agree with this view.
After admitting that available docu-
mcnts prove that Germany gave Aus
tria free hand against Serbia at the
outset. Count kessler said:
1t is thus proved that the imperial
German government secretly handed
over the dostinics OF the German peo-
PIE. which they had in trust to mixed

The lecturer maintained. however.
that when the German government at
last realized the immensely of its folly
and the immincnce of war" il did its
best to>moderate Austria. but was pre-
vented from accomplishing anything in
this direction by the mobilization of
Russia.
"A gentleman has sent me written
question asking what, in the light OF
the treaties Of Brest-Litovsk and Buch-
Arrest think the German government
would have done if they and not the
Allies had been the Victors. Count
kessler said.
Well I greatly fear that the terms
Of the imperial government would have
been in good many points just as
foolish as those Of the Allies. But the
imperial German government had not
proclaimed to the world a set of prin-
cipes worthy TO rank with the Ten
Commandments. They had not prom

Of resting the future peace OF the

Ratification of N w

tations Grew, Ameri-

and Is m e t Pasha;
closer Relations
Seen in New Era

Lausanne, Aug. 6.-(By A. Ply
With the ratification of two treaties
.,yned today the relations between
IN. United States and Turkey enter
rnon a new era. Joseph c. Grew,
the American representative. in a
brief address after the signature, de-
clared that the conventions permit Of
aclose and useful cooperation be-
tween the two countries"
Mr.. Grew recalled that during the
mast few years Turkey has been the
scene of events of far-rcaching
significance, and as a consequence
her relations with other countries
have been greatly modified. her sys-
tenn of government and political
ideals changed. and it seemed fitting
that these changes should furnish
the occasion and reason for the con-
chsion of treaties with the United
States.
Ismet Pasha laid emphasis on the
ties of democracy binding the Unit
cd States with Turkey. He depicted
Turkey as new Turkey" and a
land whose government was based on
the will of the people: hence his
pleasure on entering friendly and CO.
lucrative relations with the great
American republic.
Two treaties. one general, and the
other relating to extradition. print
ed in French. were signed by Mr..
Grew. Ismet Pasha. Ria Nur Bey
and Hassan Rey. The two delegations
sat around a table in the drawing
room of the Dutchy Hotel and SOL
EMMY affixed their signatures in the
presence of a small group of Ameri-
cans and others.

fading away in the distance as hearts
were lifted TO God in prayers OF
praise and thanksgiving.
The church was filled to its capa-

The service opened by singing sew

ira, which lent a vim and power TO
the service not to be gainsaid.
Rev. Mr.. Thomuson gave the
scripture text and offered prayer.
after which the orchestra played the
offertory.
The gem of the evenings worship
was the message The Anchor that
Holds, given by Rev. Mr.. RiX, in his
usual pointed and all-convincing
manner. which brought to many a
realization OF the necessity OF know
ing individually if they have cast the
anchor that would hold fast in all
the vicissitudes of this life and reach
into the confines OF the Great Be-
yond, and when the invitation was
given the altar channel was we'll fill

with all their hearts and received
the consolation which proves that
Jesus saves TO the uttermost.'
In his message Mr.. Rix spoke in
part, thus:

essary TO provide their fishing crafts
with sure anchors which would hold
fast the storm tossed. windsTept
vessels covering great spiritual
truth of omething which would hold

surely hold.
This hope is sure anchor thrown
into the harbor OF truth. in Jesus"

with another query Where have you

question TO be settled Individually,

Him." was rendered by Mr. and Mrs.
Rix, which was a fitting answer TO
a most inspiring sermon and was
much appreciated. after which many
testimonials were given proving
source of encouragement TO those
who later received Christ into their
hearts and lives.
These services will extend over
and possibly later. if
there is a desire for their continual
ton awhile longer.
Many were present from Augusta
