DEATH CLAIMS \
HARDEN, FAMED
FOE OF KAISER
German Editor, Champion
of PaCifiSm, Prophet of
World War, Called.
BY ERIC KEYSER
United Press stah Correspondent

." BERLIN, Oct. 31.-Maximilian
Harden, enemy of the former
Kaiser, first important publicist to
predict the World War, and the
man who warned that the United
States would not be an ally of
Germany in that conflict, died yes
terday at his home in Montanaver-
mala, Switzerland. He was sixty-six
years old.
AS founder and publisher of the
weekly newspaper, die zukunft"
("The FutureO, he became one OF
the KaiserS earliest and most fear
less foes.
AS early as 1892, in one Of the
first issues of his paper, he pointed
out the danger from the wilful and
inconsiderate policy of the Kaiser's
personal regime. Six months in
prison was the answer of the
Kaiser's government. This was the
beginning of Harden's fame.
Predicts Great War
In December, 1911, Harden told
the Berlin correspondent of the
United Press, in a copyrighted in
terview, that unless there was q
complete right about face" in the
methods and policies of the men in
control of Germany's foreign affairs.
was between Germany and England
would be inevitable. And he doubted
that there would be q fright about
face"
The editor was a close friend OF
Bismarck in the iron chancellor's"
latter days. After winning addi-
tional fame in 1906 through his ar
ticles which were responsible for
breaking up the notorious round
table" clique of secret and ire
Sponsible advisers to the kaiser, his
pen was feared and respected as
that of no other publicist in the
Fatherland.
Changes to Paeifist
The issue of the Marine battle
achieved the miracle of turning the
wild "Saulus" into mild pacifist
"Paulus." Harden remained faith
full to paciflsm ever afterward. His
paper was suppressed repeatedly by
military authorities during the war,
and he was threatened with impris-
onment.
He enthusiastically greeted Will
sons ideas, and there was no
warmer champion for the League of
Nations in Germany than he. The
nationalist, naturally, attacked him
bitterly for his pacifistic views.
Macmillan Harden-a pen name,
for his real name was Isidor Wit
kowski-waS born in 1861 in Berlin.
In 1892 he founded his famous re-
view, after having for some years
tried his luck as an actor. After an
assault by rowdies in 1922, from
which he never recovered, he gave
lup "zukunft" and restricted himself
to occasional lectures abroad and to
articles in foreign newspapers.

IGNORES STRIKES
State School Head Not to
Interfere With Board.

Principle of "home-rule" will pre-
vail in school government as long as
Roy P. Wisehart is State superin-
tendenet of public instruction, he
indicated today in countermanding
an order of department subordin-
ate which would have instituted an
investigation into the various school
strikes in Indiana. Strikes have
been declared recently by pupils in
New Albany, Gary and Lafayette.
I'VE feel that local boards are
capable of handling strike situa-
tions," WiSehart asserted. "Any in
reference on our part would be I'M
justifiable and not in keeping with
the spirit of this department.
Should we look into the matter
at all it will be purely to gain in
formation and insight that will be
available, upon request, to other
schools in the State facing similar
problems"
