Ex-Kaiser Dodges Blame For World War by Asserting His Mind Was Burdened With Art

BY WILHELM HOHENZOLL'ERN The broad and many-sided field "whose care devolved upon the Minis try of Public Worship and Instruction embracing art, science, research, medical matters, etc always aroused my lively inteiest and enlisted and my efforts in its behalf. Special pleasure was afforded me by the development, of the Technical High School. The increasing importance of technical matters drew ever larger numbers of the ablest youths to institutions of learning of this description, and the achievements of the teachers there and of the young engineers who were graduated constantly brought new laurels to the German name. Among the teachers at Charlottenburg one of the most prominent and best known all over the world was Professor Dr. Slaby. Until his death he had constant dealings with me and kept me informed concerning the newest inventions by means of captivating discourses. These were given not only in his laboratory, but also In the quiet hunting lodge in the forests of Brandenburg, where I, together "with the Empress, surrounded by a few inmates, used to listen eagerly to Slaby's words. Slaby was also dear to me as an individual and caused me much mental enjoyment by his simple clear- views on every possible sort of thing in. this world, which he could always express in the most stimulating and enthralling manner. Slaby meant much to me, and I felt grateful affection for him his death.

up to the time oijustrated by the following incident: After the Peace of Portsmouth, be

Influenced by the achievements of the technical high schools and of such men as Slaby, Intze, and so,on, I resol--vecl to grant the high schools tne ame privilege of representation in the Prussian upper house as was enJoyed by the universities. But the universities protested vehemently against this to the Minister of Public "Worship and Instruction, and there entiled a violent fight against the clasf ioal-scientific arrogance of the savants until I finally enforced my will by a decree. Slaby received the news from me by telegraph in his laboratory while he was delivering a lecture, and gave it to the students, who burst into wild cheers. The technical high schools have shown themselves worthy of the honor conferred upon them. In view of the constantly more violent fight for the markets of the world and.its outlets, it became necessary in order to utilize the widsom of the loaders of German science in this direction, to provide them with more freedom, quiet, possibility for working, and materials. Many savants of importance were hampered in research work by their activities as teachers, so that the only time they had left over for research was their vacation. This state of affairs resulted in overwork and over-burdening, which had to be stopped. Chemical Research Attention was turned first to improvements in the domain of chemistry. Minister von Tratt and Director of the Ministry Althoff, having grasped the state of afairs with clear understanding made possible for me the establishment of the "Kaiser Wilbelm Society" and drew up the statutes governing it. In the short time of its existence it has achieved brilliant results and given me an opportunity, at its general meetings, to become ac- . quainted with eminent men in all branches of knowledge with whom I thereafter entered into regular intercourse. I also visited their laboratories, where I could follow the progress of their labors. New laboratories were founded others subsidized from the contributions of the senate and members of the organizatin. I was proud of this creation of mine, since it proved a boon to the Fatherland. The inventions due to the research of its members benefited the entire nation. It was a peace-time achievement with a great and most promising future, which, under the guidance of llerr von Trott, was in most excellent hands: unfortunately, the war robbed me of this joy, along vith all others Nowadays I must do without the intercourse with m men of learning of my association, and that is a cruel blow to me. May it continue to live and labor for the benefit of research and the -Rood of the Fatherland. I had to face a severe fight in getting Professor Harnack summoned to Berlin. Tl.e theologians of the Right itnd the Orthodox element protested vehemently. After I had n?ain obtained full information from Hinzpeter and ho had closed his opinion with tho words that it would he most regret table for Berlin and Prussia if I hack! down, I insisted upon the summoning! of Harnack and rurumoned he was. j Nowadays it i.-s impossible. to under-' sianil the opposition to him.

ways look back with pleasure on the personality of Harnack and on his labors. Professor Erich Schmidt of the University of Berlin was also a friend of mine and was often t my home; Ij owe many an enjoyable evening to the learned discourses of this savant. Professor Schiemann enjoyed my particular confidence. An upright man, a native of the Baltic Provinces, a champion of the Germanic idea ;, againt Slavic arrogance, a clear-sighted and brilliant historian and writer, Schiemann was constantly asked by me for adivce on political and historical questions. To him I ,owe much good counsel, especially regarding the East. He was often at my home and often accompanied me on journeys as, for instance, to Tangier and he heard from me in our talks much important confidential matter not yet known to others on political questions. His unshakable capacity for keeping his mouth shut justified my trust in him. It was a source of satisfaction to me to appoint this tried man Curator of the University of Dorpat, after the liberation of the Baltic Provinces. Kaisre's Russian Foresight How well he and I agreed in our political views regarding Russia is illtween Russia and Japan, brought about by me m coniunction with President Rnnqpvplf in IGOR thsro txrac mnrVi ! official (Foreign Office) and unofficial puzzling of heads at Berlin as to what political line Russia would take. In general it was thought that Russia, angered at her defeat, would lean toward the West and hence toward Germany in order to find there new connections and strength to help her in striking a blow for revenge against Japan and reconquest of her lost territory and prestige. My opinion was quite different hut I could not make the official world share it. I emphasized the following points: That the Russians were Asiatics and Slavs; being the first, they would be fnclined to favor Japan, in spite of their defeat; being the second, they would like to ally themselves strong. Hence I thought that, after a while, Russia, despite the Bjorko Agreement would join Japan, not Germany, and later turn against Germany. On account of these "fan tastic" ideas. I was actually ridiculed, officially and unofficially. I summoned Schiemann and questioned him on this subject, without revealing to him what I thought about it. I was much pleased when his answer agreed absolutely with the views held by me. For a long time Schiemann and I stood almost alone when this weighty matter of foreign politics came up in discussions. The event justified us. The so-called "Russian Experts" of Berlin, as well as the official world, were mistaken. During the very first years of my reign there was occasion for much important building work. First, there was the question of erecting a worthy monument over the tomb of my grandparents. Since the old mausoleum at Charlottenburg was inadequate, it was necessary to erect an addition. Unfortunately, the funds left by Emperor William the Great for such "extra construction" the socalled Extra Construction Fund had been used up during the ninety nine days on something else. Hence I was obliged to burden the Crown revenues with unforseen building expenses. The mausoleum of my parents at Marly was erected by the Empress Frederick, according to her own sketches and designs, and for this, too, I had to provide the funds. A thorough examination of the royal palaces including those in the prov inces had revealed, particularly at the palace of Berlin, such deplorable conditions in sanitation, comfort and so on- ,nac inere couia De no more

traditions of my ancestors all of which gave me much trouble and tried my patience, but also provided me with a great deal of enjoyment. Architectural Interests In restoring the Berlin palace, the Empress Frederick, with her sure, keen eye for the proper style and her sound judgment helped materially in offsetting the harm and neglect dating from bygone days. My mother's exIf who died, unfortunately, all too soon was not completed until durfng the first half of the war. The palace of my forefathers, erected at much pains and a source of pride to me, was later bombarded, stormed, sacked and de vastated by revolutionary hordes. These artistic buiding enterprises, a.s well as the already-mentioned res toration of the White Drawing Room, belong among the duties of representation devolving upon every Govern ment, be it absolute, constitutional or democratic in form. .They afford a criterion xf the national culture and are a means of encouraging artists and, through them, the development cf art. During my vacations I busied myself , with archaeology and was active m excavation work. Here I kept in viewone basic idea; to discover the roots from which ancient Greek art developed and to erect or find a bridge in the endeavor to establish the - cultural influence of the East on the West. It appeared to me that Anyriology was important, since from it might be expected an elucidation and vitalizing of the Old Testament, and, hence, of the Holy Scriptures, Therefore I accepted with pleasure the offer of the Presidency of the German Orient Society and devoted myself to the study of its work, which I promoted to the best of my ability, never missing one of its public lectures on the results of its explorations. I had much to do with those at the head of it, and caused detailed reports to be made to me of the excavations at Nineveh. Assur and Babylon, in Egypt and in Syria, for the protection and facilitation of which I often personally brought influence to bear on the Turkish Govexnemtn. Professor Delitzsch, a member of the society, gave his well-known and; much attacked lecture on "Babel and ; Bible," which, unfortunately, fell upon the ears of the public as yet too ig - norant and unprepared, and led to all sorts of misinterpretations, some of tnem in cnurcn circles. I strove hard to clear up the matter. Since I realized that the importance of Assyriology, then enlisting the efforts of many prominent men, including clergymen of both religions, was not yet understood and appreciated by the general public. I had mv trusted friend and brilliant theatre director. Count Hulsen-Haesler, produce the play "Assurbanipal," after long preparation, under the auspices of the German Oriental Society. Assyriolo gists of all countries were invited to the dress rehearsal; in the boxes, all mixed up together, were professors, Protestant and Catholic clergymen,; Jews and Christians. Many expressed j to me their thanks for having shown, ! by this performance, how far research j work had already progressed and forj having, at the same time, revealed I more clearly to the general public: the importance of Assyriology. I Mv sojurn at Corfu likewise afforded; me the pleasure of serving archaeology and of busying myself personally with; excavation. The accidental discovery of a relief head of a Gorgon near the town of Corfu led me to take charge of the work myself. I called to my aid the experienced excavator and expert in Greek antiques. Professor Dorpfeid, who took over the direction of the excavation work. This savant who was as enthusiastic as I for the ancient Hellenic world, became in the course of time a faithful friend of mine and an invaluable source of instruction in questions relating to architecture, styles, and soon among the ancient Greeks and Achaeans. "Iliad" As a Guide Book It was joy to hear Dorpfeid read and elucidate the old Homeric poems, and establish, by means of a map and following the hints and descriptions of the poet, the location of the old CHEVROLET Four Ninety TOURING $193.00 Down Balance $34.61 per month.

Achaean settlements destroyed later by the Doric migration. It appeared that the names of the old places had often been transferred by the dispossessed inhabitants to the new places. This made the identification of the location more difficult. Nevertheless Dorpfeid had rediscovered the location of a whole series of them, with the help of his Homer, which he carried in his hand like a Baedeker, hitting

upon It by following the minute geo-j graphical descriptions given by Homer. 1 This interested me so much that I took a trip by water with the Empress, in the company of Dorpfeid, in order to put the matter to the test. We went to Leukas (Ithaca) "and visited, one after another, the places made famous by the "Odyssey," while Dorpfeid read from his Homer the descriptive text referring to each. I wa? amazed and had to admit that the region and the description tallied exactly. The excavations begun by me in Cor fu under Dorpfeld's direction had valuable archaeological . results, since they produced evidence of an extremely remote epoch of the earliest Doric art. The relief of the Gorgon has given rise already to many theories probable and improbable combined, unfortunately, with a lot of superfluous acrimonious discussion. From all this it seems to me. one of the piers for the bridge sought by me between Asia and Europe is assuming shape. I sent reports regularly to the Archaeological Society, and I also brought the well-known Professor Caro, frorr, Athens to work with me. I was busy with preparations for lectures to be delivered before the society during the winter of 1914-1915, and with searching discussions on many disputed questions, which I hoped to bring toward a solution sine ira et studio. It was a pleasure to me to be visited almost regularly, at Corfu, by English and American archaeologists, former pupih; of Dorpfeid, who helped zealously in throwing light on the difficult problems which often came up- Since they were at work in Asia Minor, I was deeply interested in hearing what importance they attached to the Asiatic influence on early Greek art as a result of their discoveries and how readily they recognized a connection with the East in the finds made at Corfu. In 1914, Professor Duhn of Heidelberg visited the excavations at Corfu and, after thorough investiga tion cra-o Viic Rnnnnrt tn thp view held by Dorpfcid and me. t stall tell jn a geparate piece of writing about thp resuW Gf mv Corfu excavations, That wa5 the-sort of a tninp which, jn (hp sprine of 1914, occupied the the spring of 1914, occupied thoughts of the German Emperor who, lusting for robbery and conquest, is accused of having bloodthir s t il v brought on the world war.

Portland cement, to meet the exacting specifications of leading engineering societies and the United States Government, must be ground so fine that at least 78 per cent will pass a sieve having 200 wires per linear inch. A silk handkerchief has but 110 threads perinch ah excellent quality of silk dress goods 187 threads. The watch in your pocket hardly calls for a more complicated and carefully adjusted process of manufacture than the making of cement. Grinding is only one of the many operations required to make it. Yet in grinding alone, seewhat is required: . ... The rocks from the quarry, often as big as a piano and heavier, go first into a gigantic "coSee milL" It bites at these huge chunks, chips them, and finally crushes them to pieces six inches or so . in diameter.''' v Two finer mills follow, one after the other, reducing the stones to the size of coarse sand. After this, they must be ground in a great revolving cylinder half filled with steel balls, until every cubic foot of the rock has been reduced to 14 billion pieces until 85 per cent of them will shake through a sieve that willactually hold water,a sieve with 40,000 holes to the square inch.' And all of this is less than half the necessary grinding. The coal must be ground. For the object of all this fine grinding of the raw materials is only that it may be fused into crystalline clinkers. And to fuse it requires pulverized coal or its equivalent. Most plants use pulverized coaL The coal must be ground as fine as the raw stone. Eighty-five per cent of it or thereabouts must go through the sieve that holds water. And that often means two grinding operations. There is still the clinker to be ground. It is glass -hard to begin with. It must be ground first to the fineness of sand, and then ground and reground in another cylinder of steel balls until at least 78 per cent of it will go through the sieve woven finer than silk. Huge bowlders to an impalpable dust. Common coal to an impalpable dust, and finally, after the burning, glass-hard clinker to an impalpable dust. That is the making of cement. And eight heavy grinding operations are required in the process. Grinding is only one of the lesser heat and power consuming operations in cement manufacture.
