Bad Check Law
Being Extended

RALEIGH. Feb. 1.-(Special).
Most of the counties not now un,,
der the provisions of the bad
check law of 1929 want to come
in under the law. but there is
some doubt in the minds of many
senators whether their counties
were included in the 1929 act. A
bill to add Davidson county to the
provisions of the law was passed
bv the house. When it came to
the senate, a dozen-odd amend
ments were offered adding more
counties. When it developed, how
ever, that some of these counties
were already under the 1929 act,
the senate sent the bill back to
Judiciary Committee No. ! to as
certain just which counties are
now under the law and which are
not. The 1929 law gave justices
of the peace final jurisdiction in
bad check cases not exceeding
$50.

Ex-Kaiser Blames a:
WorldWar On The
British In Letter
With Kin Is
Revealed
BY H. C. BUURMAN

all or in part prohibition).
DOORN, Holland, Feb. l.
(UP).-A blunt charge by former
Kaiser Wilhelm II made on the
eve of outbreak of the world war
that "full responsibility for a pos
sible European conhagration rests
solely with England was revealed
yesterday in private documents
from the personal archives of the
erstwhile German monarch, never
before made public.
Wilhelm wrote the Grand Ouch
ess louise Won Baden, his aunt,
on July 80, 1914, expressing
alarm at events in Europe, and
declaring England held the answer
to war or peace. He wrote:
"By remaining silent, or neu-
trail, she encourages France to
break loose with Russia against
us; through a clear, honorable,
manly word. she will save Europe
from a world confagration. Will
she have the moral strength to ut
ter this word?"
The document was among many
throwing new light upon the
drama of the origins of the World
war. The United Press obtained
permission to publish these in
innate letters from Wilhelm to his
aunt, his wife, and his relatives,
showing his emotions as the war
drew near. He is arranging them
to present aga;a his case to the
world. And excerpts arranged
through special permission are
quoted from the documents here.
Meanwhile, the former Kaiser
continued his wood chopping and
seemed to be in excellent health.
Both he and former Grown Prince
Wilhelm were intensely interested
in the news that Adolf Hitler had
become chancellor, but the former
Kaiser let it be known that he had
no intention to return to Germany
unless he was specially invited by
the government to return.
One of the most important doc
uments was that dispatched on
July 80. 1914, to the Grand
Duchess Luise Won Baden. Will
helms aunt. 1t follows:
"The situation is very serious.
Following the cars appeal to my
friendship and at his request to
assist him as mediator to save the
European peace, I have at once
agreed. accepting this role, and
started work. Alas, to my COM
plete surprise, the car Informed
me early this morning that five
DAYS ago he ordered military
measures. which now were gong
into force-that is to say, three

time his government Informed US
that the mobilization against Aus
tria had started.
"This without my knowledge,
behind my back and without even
waiting for the result of my work
as mediator. I have pointed out
to his majesty that military meas
ures which will be understood as
a threat, naturally weaken my &C
ton as mediator and imperil my
work. The car, however. ex-
pressed hope that Notwithstanding
his measures, l would proceed"

AN EXPEDIENT
Hindenburg Gives
New Chancellor
Free Hand
CABINET SEEKS
RESTRICTIONS

BERLIN. Feb. 1. (UP)-Presi-
dent Won Hindenburg today signed
an order dissolving the Reichstag
and authorizing the Hitler cabinet
to rule the county by decree,
whenever it deemed necessary.
The new cabinet, composed
chiefly of conservatives, is NOV
ing swiftly to shear Adolph Hitler,
their fiery Fascist leader, of some
of his newly acquired powers as
chancellor.
Hitler's fellow cabinet members
adopted a resolution urging Presi-
dent Won Hindenburg to name
Vice Chancellor Franz Won Papen
as Federal Commissioner for
Prussia, a post automatically held
by the head of the government
under presidential decree issued
last July.
The cabinets resolution urged
the president to revise his decree
of July 81, 1882, creating the
Reich's. chancellor, then Won Pap
en-, concurrently Federal Commits
sioner for Prussia. The move
would endow Vice-Chancellor Won
Papan with the same powers which
he formerly held as chancellor,
and which were held in the brief
interim regime by retiring Chan
cellor Gen. Kurt Won Schleicher.
The gesture was. IN accordance
with a promise to Won Papen,
members explained, when the con-
sentative leader agreed to enter
the Hitler cabinet. Nevertheless,
some quarters interpreted the pro-
posed transfer as significant as
the first move to curtail Hitler's
powers.
Won Papen, as Reich's Commits.
sioner for Prussia, can control
100000 men in Prussia's police
force. Prussia at present is ruled
by the federal government, as a
result of internal difficulties
which caused Won Hindenburg to
set aside the state cabinet tenn
porarily, at least.
Hitler ran into serious difficult
ties his first day in office, when
Communists sought to instigate a
general strike. They had little
initial success, but their persist.
ent and violent opposition to Hit
Ter and the Fascists generally was
expected to be an increasing cause
for concern to the infant regime.
The Communist party in the in
dustrial Ruhr district, one of the
wealthy spots of the Reich, distri-
buted handbills and made an
nouncements in the press declar-
ing general strike in protest
against Hitler's appointment.
Communist leaders branded the
Hitler rise coup d'etat, and call
ed on all loyal opponents Of Fas-
cism to quit work and tie up in
dustry to embarrass Hitler and his
cabinet. Few workers responded.
The evening passed quietly,
without serious incident, although
the police arrested 20 persons for
distributing Communist pamphlets
calling for general strike.
Hitler called a meeting Of the
cabinet for today, but persons
close to the chancellor indicated
he could not be expected yet to
make any important declaration
of policy.

instance fame and high standing. property OF

Sides When this print was issued { fortnight
or more ago an excellent biographical sketch
written by the president Of the srciety John
Taylor Arms, went with it. From this the fol-
lowing is taken:
Donald Shaw MacLaughlan was born in
Canada on November 9, 1876. He studied art in
ABoston for four years and then went to Paris.
where he entered the Ecole des Beaux Arts and
worked in the atelier of the painter and teacher
Gerome. His intentional absence from the
latters studio one morning on the occasion OF
a criticism led to slight difference OF opinion
between master and pupil and so, unfortunately,
or as Mr. MacLaughlan hims,f puts it, perhaps
fortunately he abandoned Geromes teaching
and set out to study art by himself in the
great world He spent thrse happy months in
Italy among the works OF the great masters
and later lived for nearly IL years in that
chanttng land. He now makes his home In
the Rue du Val-de-Grace Paris.
