Kaiser Wilhelm
 Secrets of War
tContinued from Page D

On July 30, 1914, Wilhelm wrote the Grand Duchess Luise von Baden, his aunt, expressing alarm that England held the answer to peace OF war.
 By remaining silent, or neutral, she encourages France to break loose with Russia against us; through clear, honorable, manly word, she will save Europe from Kaiser wrote. twill she have the moral strength to utter this word 2"
 The ex-Kaiser is personally in- terested in publication of the doc- ument and has devoted much time to aiding Jagow in preparing them for publication.
 In the letter to his aunt, Will helm revealed "complete surprise at learning that the cZar had od- dered mobilization. He wrote:
 "rhe situation is very serious. Following the czars appeal to my friendship, and at his request to assist him as mediator to save the European peace, have Ut once agreed, accepting the role, and started work. Alas, to my complete surprise, the czar informed me early this morning that five days ago he ordered military measures, which now were' going into force that is to say, three days before his appeal to me as mediator. At the same time his government in- formed us that mobilization against Austria had started.
 "rhis, without my knowledge, behind my back, and without even waiting for the result of my work us mediator. have pointed out to His Majesty (the czar) that military measures which will be understood by Austria as a threat naturally weaken my action as mediator and imperil work. Tho czar, however; expressed hope that notwithstanding his measures, l would succeed.
 '"I can hardly see any hope for q peaceful solution. Anyway, the less honorable action by Russia has made this impossible for me. The maintenance of the peace no longer rests with Berlin, but only and solely with London.
 "Tf England, as 1t says, really seriously and honorably wishes to prevent war and will see that peace is maintained, she must state now quite clearly in Paris that France, In such an unjust war. cannot rely on Englands help and must re- main quiet. The same thing said In Petersburg. and both states will not cry for war, even notWith- standing the mobilization.
 "The full responsibility for a possible European confiagration rests only and solely with England. By remaining silent or neutral she encourages France to break loose with Russia against us.
 "Through a clear, honorable, manly word she will save Europe from n world confiagration. Will she hdke the moral strength to utter this word. (Signed) Will helm."
 The documents show how Will helm received the first telegrams telling of the murder of 'the arch duke and arch duchess of Aus trla at Sarajevo, while Wilhelm was attending the regatta at kiel, June 2S, 1914.

ship cra--cannot long defer vari. ous steps for the recovery of foreign markets, disinterested dip lomatic observers believe.
 Two million jobs, by official cs- timate, hinge directly upon manu- facturers exports, while the mer. chant marine, railway trunk lines cable companies, and port services are crying out through agents here against the adverse situation.
 In the decade from 1920 to 1929 United States export trade seemed to have stabilized at a figure bove $4,500, 100000 annually. Major causes of tho slump of the last three years were:
 CD Tho purpose of many coun- tries either through internal econ- omic exigencies or thinly disguised motives of retaliation, to discour- age imports in general and those of American products in particu- lar;
 CD Abandonment of the gold standard by a majority of coun- tries, which caused disparity In national price levels.
 (3D Resort by more than 90 countries to foreign exchange con- trol plans. designed to discourage exports of gold by ,curbing mer+ chandisc imports where necessary.
 Offsettins these negative factors, the United States still has tremen- dous industrial and commercial machinery and unused diplomatic resources to promote rehabilita- ton of It's foreign markets. These are:
 CD A governments -fostered mer- chant marine which awaits cargoes far in excess of those now offered.
 CD A bureau of foreign and do- mostic commerce., with highly trained personnel at home and In 53 cdm mercial centers abroad. now rendering nearly 100000 services annually to American businessmen.
 t3) Employment of the principle of bargaining or "reciprocity" m new commercial treaties, a prin- ciple now being applied to Cuba exclusively;
 (4) Possible credit aid to ex- porters through the Reconstruction Finance corporation or other agen- cies;
 (5) Relief of tn international eX- change situation through interna- tionnl collaboration, foreshadowed by United States intention 10 par tlcipate in the world economic con- ference:
 (6) Official assurances that tho United States trade policy Is to buy abroad us well as to sell abroad.

establishing Il new gold standard, however, and if the gold content were reduced one-half 1t is pre- sumed that congress would double the amount of the currency.
 Meanwhile, debts rents, savings deposits and similar items would depreciate in value correspond ingly. Congressman Harold Me- Gugin of Kansas, who would deval- uate the dollar one-third in this manner, says he isn't interested in currency expansion but only in get ting the dollars value in it's rela- tion to foreign money so that our export products could compete on an even basis with goods of coun- tries off the gold standard. In- crease in prices of export commod- tiles would be reflected on domestic prices, he says.
 Finally, there are proposals 10 inflate with Q huge public works program, which means putting money into the hands of persons now unemployed and into the heavy industries whose stimulation might be expected to reduce unem- ployment and begin an upward spiral through purchases from other industries.
 This plan is usually proposed as q bond issue of up to 5000. .000,- 900, but some economists say there would be no great difference if new currency were issued except that interest must be paid on bonds meaning more taxes-and that di- rect currency imitation might tend to frighten us off the gold stand ard.
 Direct to Unemployed
 This plan seems to represent the most direct tie-up of the inflation- ists' dreams with an actual starting point for business revival. SSome proponents would give up to a bil- lion dollars of the issue for unem- ployment relief.
 . Control over imitation is of para mount importance. There's no question that the government can control imitation, but plenty of ques- ton whether 1t would. Virtually all imitation plans have control fea- lures. Congress would provide two, three or five billions of new money on the theory that that would be all. Or 1t would innatc until prices reached q given level when imitation would automatically stop.
 But the anti-infationists aim their strongest arguments against the idea that control would be eX- erted. Currency imitation to raise prices substantially, they say, must be so large as to be uncomfortable.

 Confronted with a letter from Chicago police giving details of q meeting of alleged communists there on December 30, Raymond revealed the entire plot against the auto industry, according to the sheriff.
 Raymond's admissions, Wilcox reported, were that he and Max Salzman and A. Brown, negro, met at communist headquarters in Ch!- cago December 30, and planned to create strikes among auto workers. The drive to halt production was to center at Detroit. Raymond then returned here and started or- ganlzlng workers at the Briggs plants.
 Fifteen per cent of the strikers plcketlng tho Briggs plant at pres ent arc communists, Wilcox said Raymond told him.
 Raymond said that he returned from Russia last year and that work was started immediately to foment strikes in various industries in this country, the sheriff said. The auto workers union, which has been the active group in the pres ent strike, Is an offspring of the Trades Union Unity league which is in turn n brance of the Trade Internationale of Moscow, accord ing to the reported statements of Raymond.
 A man giving the name of George Altskasco, A, was also arr rested out of picket lines to-day. He was 'sullen and refused to an- swer questions police said. Com munlst membership cards were found on his person and officers said he was urging plckets to join the organization.
 Two others were arrested on the general charge of agltating and in- citing to riot.
 Irving Aronson, member of the strikers joint committee and spokesman for the group, emphat- ically denied the statement report edly made by Raymond.
 "If there are any communists In our unIon," said Aronson, "they have come in unknown to us. We hired Raymond 10 work as an or ganlzer for us but 1t was distinctly understood he was not to talk communism. We don't allow any known communists to be mem- bers."
 Aronson expressed doubt that Raymond has made any statements saying 15 per cent of tho strike plckets are communists but "if he did he's wrong. There may Do n few communists marching but not many"

The second and third problems are matters of violent argument between the infiationists and their conservative opponents. Let us consider the first, which Is very simple.
 New paper money unsupported by an Increased gold reserve can only be pumped into circulation through It's use by the government for current expense or for special purposes as may be decreed by congress.
 The Busby bill, for instance. would issue $3,000, 100000 in one per cent bonds to the Federal Re- serve banks, which would issue currency for that amount in pay ment for the bonds. The notes would be turned over to the treas ury which would use them to pay government expenses. The new money would pay federal salaries, buy supplies and otherwise take it's place along with the money were using now. The second billion would be issued 30 days after the firBt and the third five months later if commodity prices had not by then returned to 80 per cent or their average 1921-29 level.
 The "Liberty Notes" Plan
 The Rankin-Thomas bill would similarly authorize liberty notes" to pay treasury deficits until such time as prices had been restored.
 Congressman Wright Patman of Texas continues to tie up imitation with the veterans cash bonus pro- posaI. He would issue $2,300, ,000,- 900 in currency to the veterans on the theory that they would promptly get 1t into circulation, thereby accelerating the wheels of trade and industry. Senator Elmer Thomas of Oklahoma was slightly more cautious; he would have the government sell $2,400,000,000 in bonds 10 pay the bonus-another form of imitation.
 Some proposals for government financing of farm mortgages, fn- cludIng that of Senator Lynn Frazier of North Dakota, would finance the mortgages at face value by issuing Federal Reserve notes without gold backing to be covered by first mortgage bonds.
 Under most of the imitation plans would buy silver certificates (bllls) which would go into circu- lation through the sellers. Reducing Dollars Gold
 Reducing the gold value of the dollar--now 25.S grains-cheapens the dollar to the extent of the re- duction but does not automatically expand the currency. It would take 1is off the present gold standard by

rich waa received at Potsdam. This telegram sounded very pacifying to Wilhelm and he teiegraphed the Grand Duchess Luise von Baden on tho afternoon on July 31:
 "I.ast night very sympathetic favorable reply from King George resolved; works in harmony with me; will utilize full influence with his allies for maintaining peace; preparations for negotiations be- tween Vienna and Petersburg also succeeded and there also exchange of views between Vienna and Lon- don: God help us further; Alas just received report from Peters- burg orders been given to mobilize the entire Russian army and navy; the czar had not even waited Tor my efforts for mediation for which he had begged me-"
 The interview documents reveal Wilhelm's varying emotions in the weeks before the outbreak of the war. The telegrams are significant partly because. they were not ad- dressed to official quarters but to his closest relations, including hls wife and his aunt.

 Gauvin was, a commission em- ploye of q gasoline station located within q few yards of his home. He had taken the day off to accom- pany his wife to the hospital. She had been in i'll health of late and was to submit to examination and treatment. It is now evident that they brooded over her physical condition and their economic dis tress and decided to find way out of all troubles. That their act was premcditated was determined by an investigation by employees of the gas company. Their supply of gas had been turned off and seals placed on the meter in the cellar. The gas pipe extended into the kitchen of their tenement, but was not connected with any stove. .T'he seals were found torn off the meter and the plug removed from the pipe. It was only q question of Q few minutes when the kitchen was flooded with the deadly fumes. They penetrated into the home Of MT and Mrs Albert sherman on the second floor of the three family house. Mrs sherman became sus- picious and started to investigate. Her husband is i'll in bed.
 Mrs Sherman called Anthony De- Munda, q tailor at 408 Watertown avenue. He borrowed q wrench from an employe of the nearby Buick company station and start ed for the cellar to turn off the gas. Leo Cooper, employed by the Buick company, and Mrs sher- man after trying to arouse the Gau- wins forced the rear kitchen door. They weye almost overcome by the waves of gas which greeted them. They found the young couple seated in Q rocking chair drawn up to q kitchen stove.

 The items of overexpenditure in- cluded sheriff's attendance at court, $6.70O; jury debenturcs, $2,000: bills of cost, $8,600; coroners' fees. '$7,000. Many of these items would be considerably cut if recommen- dations made following recent survey of superior court costs were adopted. The proposed dis. trict court bill also would tend to lower such costs and prevent deficits such as occurred in Water- bury's superior court.
