| Former Emperor Os Germany Denies j Country Was Responsible For Wari

(Editors’ note: The former em- ( I peror of Germany broke his long I silence this Armistice Day to declare vigorously in an exclusive statement to the United Press that 'Germany w-as not responsible for 'the war. His declaration has addled interest in view of the increasing feeling in Europe that a move is on foot to restore the Hohen zollern monarchy in Germany). (Copyright, 1932, in all countries by United Press) Doorn, Holland, Nov. 11. —(U.R) — 'Germany was not responsible for. the World war and the accusation ; that she was in an "infamous lie,” I his former imperial majesty, Frederick Wilhelm li, emperor of Ger-1 many and king of Prussia, declar-; ed in a direct authorized statement - to the United Press today. The exiled former kaiser, who has lived in strict seclusion at Doorn House since he fled from the German revolution, made his first formal utterance for publication since his notable statement to the United Press in 1928. Through an official spokesman, he issued the following forceful declaration: "Germany is not responsible for the outbreak of the World war. "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 io amplify the statement or comment on other questions which have I come to the front through recent developments in Germany. His '! statement, however, is perhaps 'significant in view of the followling factors: I 1. The increasing revival of monarchistic sentiment among the German public, leading to rumors

He is now I I frequently visited by learned scien-1 i tific professors from various conn- j tries. It is noteworthy that last sum-' ’ mer Wilhelm for the first time I spent a lengthy holiday outside I Doorn and twice resided at the | I \ seaside resuit of Zandvoort.

Washington, Nov. 11 — (U.R) — Tlie Democratic drive to legalize beer this winter was intensified' today with the argument that I such action might make a special session of congress in the spring unnecessary. Some Democratic congressmen advanced the view that legalization of beer at the regular December session, in addition to fulfilling quickly the party’s campaign pledge, would bring in enougli revenue to obviate large-scale tax readjustments by a special session. Wet leaders estimated beer would bring the treasury up to $500,000,000 a year in new revenue.

TOWN TOTALLY DESTROYED BY WALL OF WATER Only Mea ge r Reports, Mostly by Radio, Are Available Today MORE THAN 1,000 REPORTED HURT Havana, Cuba, Nov. 11.— (U.R) — Relief work on a large scale was mobilized by tne government today for the hurricane stricken inhabitants of Camaguey and Santa Clara provinces, where unofficial estimates placed the death list at nearly 1,500. The injured were estimated at more than 1,000. None of the estimates was officially confirmed, communication being fragmentary and mostly by radio. The town of Santa Cruz Del Sur was totally destroyed by a wall of water, 20 feet or more high, which moved in from Hie sea in the path of the hurricane, carrying away houses, men. women, children and animals in its rush of destruction. Bodies were scattered a considerable distanap inland and hundreds were reported missing, presumably swept to sea. The most dramatic story of the fate of Santa Cruz Del Stir was telephoned to Havana by a survivor, Eloy Garcia Figueroa, who reached Jatibonico, on the railroad in Santa Clara province 115 miles northwest of Santa Cruz Del Sur. Fugieroa, accompanied by his wife and a small child whom he rescued when its parents were swept away to death in the torrents of water, reached Jatibonico after an arduous trip across the difficult, swampy country. Il was assumed they travelled by horseback or oxcart. Figueroa said the dead would exceed 300. Most of them died by drowning.
