Of another reichskanzler when war
came.
Ten years later war did come, and
another chancellor, Won Bethmann
Hollweg, was In ONCE. He IL was who
stood UP in the Reichstag on August
4, 1914, and proclaimed the Hohenzol-
lern doctrine that necessity knows no
law" and that Germany, in case of
need. must hack her way through Bel
gium." The Kaiser's threat to King
Leopold was made good.
In the light of all that was doomed
to happen, especially the wave Of hor-
ror and resentment which spread over
the whole non-German world as the
result Of the invasion Of Belgium, many
moderns will be inclined to view sympa-
thetically Won Buelow's analysis Of
William II. He pillories the deposed
monarch as a man Of unstable psychic
equilibrium" which is the longer and
less ugly term. Won Buelow protests
that his own peace policy was based
largely on the conviction that the
Kaiser would not be equal to bearing
the burden Of q great war" There is
much in the opening segment Of the
fourth chancellor's memoirs to bolster

The Buelow Memoirs.

Although the world is approaching
the eleventh anniversary of the so-called
Peace OF Versailles, war memoirs are still
with US. None emitted In recent times
excels in interest the first volume of
Prince Won Buelow's recollections, Just
published posthumously. The German
chancellor, who served william II and
the Fatherland in the critical pre-war
years, writes in obvious justification.
He is mainly concerned with arguing
the thesis that 1t was the inept diplo-
macy OF his ponderous successor, Won
Bethmann Hollweg, rather than the
Won Buelow craftsmanship, which led
to the World War and Germany's In
glorious ernergence from it.
Historians will differ on that score.
They will be inclined particularly 10
question the wisdom of Prince Won Bue-
lows celebrated rejection Of Chamber
lain's deceptive Establishments, which
looked to an Anglo German entente
and the prevention of the inevitable"
clash between the rival European sea
and commercial powers. But the Won
Buelow memoirs make. one revelation
over which there is no room for dis
pute, the disclosure of the Emperor VIII
liam's cold-blooded plan to snuff out
Belgian independence in the event Of a
European conflict in which Germany
was engaged.
Won Buelow narrateS a visit paid to
Berlin in 1904 by Leopold, King Of the
Belgians. The King seized an opportu-
nifty to whisper to the chancellor that
the Kaiser had just said appalling
things" to him. Leopold begged Won
Buelow to bend every effort to ward
of great misfortunes." The attempt
was made. williams reply was to utter
"imprecations" upon his Belgian fell
low monarch, to avow himself soldier
of the school Of Frederick the Great
and Napoleon, "who always got In the
first blow at the enemy" and to blusteI
that II Belgium was not with Germany

. Now that Senate and House both have
included an item In the District bill
apprApriating 25,0o0-"For the pur-
pose OF, making a study Of the power
needs of Vhe District of Columbia with
view to establishing a municipality
owned and operated service therefor;
including the employment, by contract
or otherwise, Of such expert and other
personal services as shall be approved
by the Commissioners, without reference
to the classification act Of 1928, as
amended, and incidental necessary ex-
penses"-will some one please inform
the residents of the District where 1t
came from, and what it all means?
When the bill was passed by the
House energetic reporters sought in vain
through the hearings for light on the
power survey. They also sought informa-
ton at the District Building where, I'M
fortunately, no one seemed to know
what it was all about, but the assump-
ton there was that the "municipally
owned and operated service" referred to
some plant that would supply light and
power for street lighting and other such
municipal functions.
In the Senate committee, after Mr.
Ham, as voluntary witness, had
spoken glowing words about the general
excellence Of the Potomac Electric
Power Co., the House provision was
striker out. Nobody in the Senate COM
mittee seemed to know where 1t orig
mated or what it was for. But when
the bill reached the Senate floor Sena-
tor Norris, like war horse scenting
battle from afar, went to it. He put the
power trust through the Jumps, de-
Scribed the amount Of water that goes
under the bridges without producing q
kilowatt Of electricity, spoke eloquently
of Government ownership and de-
manded that the item be reinstated In
the bill, which was done. Senator Nor
ris told Of past Investigations of the
same sort that have come to nothing,
but hazarded the opinion that, even If
the present investigation came to moth
ing. the Senate could not gracefully
turn down a request of the sort that
originated in the House; in other words,
when the House shows signs of taking
an interest in municipality owned power
plants it should be given every encour-
agement.
Senator Norris Is of the definite opin-
ion that the investigation has do with
a real municipal power plant-not a
mere municipal affair to light the
streets or run the elevators in the Dis
trict Building It embraces everything,
including development Of Great Falls
for power.
The information will be valuable. The
chief dificulty faced by the investi-
gators will doubtless be finding q
way to justify the expenditure Of the
$4,000.

Scrambled War News From China.

The Chinese campaign is being re-
ported with the usual contradictions in
the dispatches. This is not to the dis
credit Of the correspondents at the polit-
ecal fronts-none is permitted at the
military front-but rather is due to the
Nonflict Of the interests and viewpoints
nf those who keep them informed.
News In China Is on a somewhat diff
9erent scale than in this country, or in
europe. It Is usually relative. Thus,
there are now two wholly variant reports
OF the first major encounter at arms be-
eween the Northern and the Marking
governments. A dispatch from Shang-
bal states that according to the Kuomin,
or Marking government news agency,
the insurgents or Northerners were
xoured. At the same time dispatch
from Peking-which may as well be the
present spelling Of the former Northern
capital inasmuch as It has been changed
back again from Peiping by the new
Yen Observation-Disclosures that rebel
forces commanded by Gems. Sun TEN
ying and Wan Hsuan-tai annihilated
o Nationalist division. According to "a
Peking dispatch to the London Daily
Express 10000 Marking troops had been
killed and $4,000 captured in the heavy
fighting Of the past few days. Thus
numerically the dispatches favor a
Northern victory.
But it all depends upon the source of
the information. Facts get strangely
distorted in the political yamens
through which they are issued as news.
