FRENCH PROPOSALS
 MAY RE SCORNED
Treaty Against War Encounters
 Storm Today

Washington. Jan. R -Frencf proposals to confine the declaration against war suggested by Secretary Kellogg to aggressive warfare only are apt to meet with cold recep. . ton at the state department.
 The French note accepting the American plan to expand the anti war declaration treaty originally proposed by Foreign Minister Briand from a two power to a multipower pact has reached Washington and will be presented to the state de- partment during the day.
 In advance of examination of the communication, some department officials held that the insertion of the aggressive war definition by the French government was a material weakening of the Kellogg plan if 1t did not completely defeat the spirit and purpose of that plan.
 The only thing involved either in the Briand or Kellogg proposals. 1t was said, was declaration of policy by the signatory powers against re- sort to war in the settlement of any disputes between them. To define the repudiated wars as being only aggressive wars, it was said. raised the whole question of machinery to determine in any case which state might be the aggressor. The lan- guage in which the suggestion Is made in the French note, however, may have much to do with the final determination of tlfe Washington at- titude,

This preliminary treaty which was based upon Wilson's 1l points and other principles pro- pounded by Wilson was broken. The peace that was made was not based upon Wilson's program.

 Through personal appeals <o the czar and the King of England. Hil Majesty declared himself em. phatically for safe uarding Euro. pean peace.
 Another Episode
 l There is another episode, very little know. but absolutely refuting the kaiser's war guilt. On the aft ernoon of August l. when the Ger man mobilization order had become necessary on account of Russia $ general mobilization. His Majesty received word from London that there was still possibility of pre- serving peace. Therefore His Ma jesty gave orders which brought despairing protests from the leaders of the general staff and which could easily have led to chaos in the Ger man advance. So strong was his love for peace al q so far went the kaiser's personal feeling of respon- sibility, that in face of the most ter rible danger he even tcok the risk of a possible catastrophe to the army | if peace could be kept.
 You will not understand why l call it a tragedy that the kaiser alone is branded as being the one the most guilty of the war. You will understand the bitter wrong the world Is doing him and his nation when he is made the symbol Of Ger man war guilt" You can take it for granted that his majesty feels his expulsion very deeply. Many years after even the last German sol- dier has returned to his fatherland. his majesty Is forced to live in a foreign country. nailed down as a symbol of German war guilt" However hospitable Hollands well come. his own home can in no way be replaced. The poet Fontane has Count Douglas in the famous ballad says regarding exile:
 Ten Years Exiled
 T have borne 1t seven years. l cannot bear it longer" the kaiser has borne his fate 10 years already.
 On the other hand, all rumors of any plans to return to Germany or to change his residence in Holland are wholly unfounded.
 For years his majesty has follow ed carefully everything written in Germany or abroad regarding the question of so-called war guilt" which he believes is a vital matter for the German people. The kaiser himself has compiled his "compara- tive historical tables' containing material to deny Germanys "war guilt" To fight for the German na- tion against the accusation of war
