STATE HIGHWAY
Chief MAY QUIT

sign, Is Report.
BY DANIEL M. KIDNEY


Director John j. Brown of the
state highway commission today
was reported ready to resign, after
it was understood the selection of
his successor had been discussed at
a secret meeting of the commission
Thursday.
Commissioners declined to discuss
the possibility, asserting there will
be another session Nov. %.
Brown is said to be willing to re-
linquish the post in view of the fu-
ture change in administrations,
provided he is renamed to the state
tax board, of which he served as
chairman several years.
Jess Murden, Peru, former state
highway commissioner, would like
to have the tax post when Pliny
Wolfard's term expires Dec. l.
According to reports, the COM
mission is preparing for changes
when Paul v. McNutt succeeds
Governor Harry G. Leslie.
While several prominent Demo-
Gratis are being mentioned as
Browns successor as highway COM
missioner, chief support appears to
be for william P. Cosgrove, deputy
auditor of state.

promised to revamp both the high
way commission and public service
commission. Personnel of the high

DOORN, Holland, Nov. 11.-Ger-
many was not responsible for the
World war, and the accusation that
she was is an Infamous lie," his
former majesty, Frederick Wilhelm
II, emperor of Germany and king
of Prussia, declared in a direct au-
thorized statement to the United
Press today.
The eXiled former kaiser, who has
lived in strict Seclusion at Doom
house since he fled from the Ger
man revolution, made his first for
NAL utterance for publication since
his notable statement to the United
Press in 1928.
Issues Statement
Through an official spokesman, he
issued the following forceful decla-
ration:
Germany is not responsible Tor
the outbreak of the World war.
1.-THE accusation of Germany's war
guilt is an infamous lie and the
question of war guilt already has
been settled definitely by impartial
historical Investigations"
Despite urging, he declined to
amplify the statement or comment
on other questions, which have come
to the front through recent develop
ments in Germany. His statement,
however, is perhaps significant in
view of the following factors:
l. The increasing revival of
monarchistic sentiment among the
German public, leading to rumors of
possible attempt at a Hchenzol-
lern reconciliation.
2. Increasing participation of the
former crown prince and his brother
in German politics.
Awaits Call to Return
3. Germany's Steadfast demand
for arms equality.
4. Recrudescence of the campaign
to revise the Versailles treaty
which contains the war guilt lie. -
S. Agitation in Germany to re-
move the war guilt stigma and re-
store Germany'S former colonies.
6. The former kaiser always re-
fusing to comment on events in
present day Germany, had repeat
edly and indirectly deprecated sug-
gestions that he plans to return to
his homeland, on his own initiative.
1t is recalled, however, that a
close friend of Wilhelm's, the Rev.
Llewellyn Thomas, vicar of Aber-
pergym, Wales, recently returned
to Britain from visit to Doom,
and told the press the former kaiser
said he was ready to return to Ger
many if the Germans desired.
