Il 1tentlary one night last April.
Prisoners beat on the locked bars
of their cells and pleaded to be let out.
Guards, helpless to aid them, raced in
confusion under the roaring roof In
the heart of Columbus famed pyre
within walls where prison breakers were
being consumed by FIRE their own hands
had ignited The night wore on and
the flames subsidized. Dawn revealed the
reddest page in American prison history,
and the Nation, over its breakfast, shlld-
dered at this result of an attempted
prison break.
So, too, had America shhddered six
months before at news of the Colorado
prison battle at Canon City. Machine
guns rat-tatted through the night of
October 4, pockmarking walls behind
which prisoners held guards as hostages.
Bombs burst. rifles cracked, the city
rocked as dynamite was exploded in an
endeavor to crush the cell walls and
the convictS' spirit. Through II long
hours the battle continued. When it
had at last subsidized seven guards and
five prisoners lay dead amid ruined
State property.

bursts one learns that Federal prison

Ex-Kaiser Denies War Guilt
of Past nfrm How

= We have no biography of Edward
VII-unless we can apply so respectable
term to the work of Sidney Lee" I
read the pages of Mr.. Lee" with care,
but such truths as the above were
omitted. Pity. then, the future historian
who earnestly pravs for light. Which
way can he turn without meeting q
propaganda?
The Kaisers testimony is the more
precious to me because 1t Is In perfect
accord with what / had already heard
from Gen. Waters.
AS to Bismarck and the Franco-Rus-
sian alliance, the Kaiser said much, but
without bitterness, though he felt very
keenly on this painful matter. His ex-
act words cannot repeat, but an epito-
me will perhaps be enough.
Admonition Of william I.
On his deathbed the venerable VIII
liam I, founder of the German Empire
and grandfather of William II, adjured
his grandson to make Russian friend
ship the chief aim of his reign. This
was told to me many years ago by the
Kaiser, Immediately after the break
with Bismarck. and to a nature so loyal
the words of his grandfather were bind
ing.
1t was a political mistake on the part
of the then syoung Emperor to accept
such post-mortem burdens and made
no concealment of my opinion either to
him or to the world at large. The old
Emperor had sister on the Russian
throne, and his personal relations with
the then Gear Nicholas were very COR
dial.
But these good old people died and
Europe went on in channels wholly UNI
expected. The Crimean War had been
laoA al =
was a disappointment for st. Peters,
burg that neither Prussia nor Austria
offered to help the Gar, who had helped
them in 1848.
Next came the great Turkish
War of 1877--another long and costly
one, wherein once more st. Petersburg
looked IN vain toward Berlin and Vienna.
The Russian army reached the suburbs
of Constantinople, the Turkish army
was defeated and the Gear expected
soon to attend an Orthodox Greek serv-
ice in soon to be expurgated mosque
at st. Sofa.
But once more this cup of antici-
pated triumph was dashed from his
lips A British feet anchored in the
Dardanelles and Russia marched her
armies back to their paternal steppes.
Bismarck, however, now came with
| fair words and kindly, honest manner
and promised Russia that If they would
attend an international congress in Ber-
! lin he, the Iron Chancellor. would sup

would ultimately obtain their hearts

And thus from year to year, so far
from welding more securely the tradl-
tional alliance with Russia, Bismarck
sowed the seeds of discord and handed
over to william II Germany weakened
by having to the eastward a nominal
friend, but secret enemy.
The Kaiser is himself so frank ana
truthful that it is not easy to make
him think i'll of those who are agree
able personally and who fiatter him. He
has had very few successes In the Held
of diplomacy and none of his official
advisers have proved themselves able or
fearless ministers-we look III vain for
a Talleyrand, a Cecil, a Cavour.
The late Gar Nicholas II was hostile
to the Kaiser from the beginning OF
their intercourse, and this i'll will he In
herited from his father, Alexander III.
To me it was very significant that Mich
olas II was never taught German. al
though when the Kaiser told me that
fact he made no comments
It was no secret in PariSs that If ever
France was to recover Strassburg 1t must
be by Russian aid; and so, by the exer-
else of patience and infinite skill Europe
was finally amazed at seeing an ortho-
dox Russian Gar in the cordial embrace
of a republican French President.
Responsibility Of Bismarck.
Bismarck, who claimed credit for all
the good things that happened to Ger
many in his day, cannot wholly wipe his
hands of responsibility when events
occur that are the direct outcome Of
his own diplomacy.
During the forenoon the Kaiser took
me into the woods and I helped him
in splitting tree sections for his open
fires. He had procured for me an
American ak, and after two hours of
wholesome sweating he forgave me
many of the harsh things I had said
about him in the matter of war guilt.
There was much joking and laughing
over this task of woodchopping, but
there was no umpire to decide which
Of us was the better lumberjack.
He had been presented with saw
ing machine worked by electricity. We
call it a buzzsaw. This he enjoyed,
manipulating himself at the imminent
risk of ripping few fingers of, but
I stuck to my splitting job.
He had at hand wholly Dutch ex-
wielder who wore the customary wooden
shoes, and him made my agent in
the matter of securing similar pair
for use at my own wood pile. What
the New York port collector will think
of those massive shoes know not.
Maybe he'll not waste any time think
ing, but pass them as unclassified and
harmless
In Holland they are at every turn
where canal boats are moored or gar
dens are being dug. They are called
klunpen, probably from the noise they
make on the brick pavement-klumpet-
ing along. Children run about in
klumpen, and these apparently clumsy
footgear can be seen on the pedal of
bicycles, hurrying home after the days
work. And let me Ahasten to add that

Germany and England to shake hands
and unite in maintaining peace.
He pointed out that England should
continue as the strongest force af1oat,
while Germany should maintain her
present military rank on shore.
All this was before the RuSso-Jap-
aneSe War and prior to the big naval
program passed by the German Reichs-
tag.
That was the most important speech
ever made by one sovereign to another
or, should I say, by one constitu-
tional monarch to another. 1t was the
most solemn moment in the life Of
Edward VII; 1T was the grandest OPP
portunity that ever man had for uncle
and nephew to clasp hands across the
coffin of their beloved kin and swear
that no saber should rattle in all Eu-
rope so long as they had the power TO
prevent it.
1t lay in the power of Edward VII to
press that offered hand and to con-
summate the most ARDENT prayer of a
world grooming underR the dread Of war
He would have brought sunshine
into every cottage that harbored an
honest farmer family.
But Edward VII let that golden mo-
n1ent pass.
He did more
He struck out from the official re-
port in the Court Circular every word
in that memorable speech referring to
German friendship; and England was
not allowed to know the truth--not a
newspaper had any report beyond the
bald. perfunctory and very much blue
penciled one authorized by the new
King.
And that blue pencil was welded by
the King himself.
Tool of Money Lenders.
It is a sad commentary on our mod
ern press that the world was not per-
mitted to receive this message at such
moment. We can draw but one con-
clusion: Edward VII was the willing
tool of complaisant money lenders on
the one hand and lingo English trades
men on the other. In short, he en-
couraged the sentiment that clamored
for war against Germany.
Sir Frank Lascelles was at that
mncheon-the then British Ambassador
in Berlin He warmly thanked the
Kaiser for the olive branch extended by
him and hoped that his words would be
given the widest publicity throughout
| the world.
To this william II made the only an

between books and prison disorders.
Those State prisons in which there are
excellent Libraries and where prisoners
are most interested in reading have been
noticeably free from such mad outbursts
as those at Columbus and Canon City.
Uncle Sam realizes that mental idle
ness among criminals is costly, and he is
endeavoring to combat this dangerous
idleness with a rehabilitative force.
Through national survey of State and
Federal prison conditions he has found
that books promote better discipline and
aid rehabilitation and thus help to min
imize prison breaks.
