The banking school was establlsh-

WOMEN DON'T BLAME.
KAISER FOR MISERY

EISENBACH, Germany, August
14.-The Amalgamated Women's
Clubs of Germany have resolved
that Germany was not to blame for
the beginning of the way in 1919
and held q special meeting to devise
ways and means of scientifically as
sembling material designed to prove
their contentious to the world. Tie
meeting, attended by women from
all parts of the republic, was held
in the castle of WartbUrg, where
Martin Luther fought the devil
while he was passing ten months pr-
der the friendly arrest of the Elec-
tor of Saxony.
Frau Clara Mende, president Of
the organization, in her opening adj
dress, asserted that the club women
had made arrangements to give
wide publicity to documents which
tended to show that a secret under
standing existed prior to 1914 be-
tween the Russian Car and other
nations and with which Germany
had no connection whatever. 1t was
due largely to these secret agree
ments, she contended, that the war
was brought about.
The onus of starting the war had
been put on Germany by the world
at large, declared Frau Mende, but
the life work of the associated clubs
would prove otherwise.
