The Mistakes of the Kaiser By RENE V1VTANI Premier of France When the War Broke Out , Copyright. 1922. by The McClure Newspape Syndicate.

XXIX NOTES THE KAISR MADE The evidence presented in the course of this short story would probably suffice for settling once for all the question of the responsibility for war particularly aa most of it has been drawn from German, Austrian or Bavarian source, since complete impartiality has been aimed at. The sources of the evidence, therefore, simply serve to make the facta all the more crushing. Nvertheless, we do not wish to allow those chapters of the Kaiser's Memoirs to go unanswered in which he takes up the question of responsibility, those chapters of his filled with fantastic and futile allegations, significant silences and voluntary omissions. To answer these chapters, w ith their empty statements, may possibly be a waste of time, but, nevertheless, such an answer is neeessary, if only to bring into relief the uselessness of the Kaiser's attempts at whitewashing -himself. Kaiser Shifts Blame The surprising point about his Memoirs, particularly in the chapters " dealing with the responsibility for the war, is the shameful desire of the fallen monarch to evade the responsibilities of his position. His Memoirs will go down in history, assuming that history ever bothers with them, not as a piece of teaching, a contrition, an addition to truth or a piece of research, but as a. monument of. blindness and an example of cowardice. The scheme of the Memoirs becomes evidentfrom the very start: The Kaiser did absolutely nothing

in his empire; in fact, as one reads, one is lead to believe that he reigned I ' under a sort of a guardianship, he L himself indifferent to or unmoved at V what went on, a stranger to all that ' was being done, capable only of receiving impressions, traveling, parading in short, that he was a sort of Dauphin, with nothing to do but play a sort of theatrical role. In his Me- . moirs there is not one solitary event the responsibility for which provided it turned out badly for Germany he does not shift upon somebody else. Did anybody ever notify him of anything? Was he a free agent? "Was not the Foreign Office dumbtoward hhu, or, when he dared speak to it. was it not deaf? His Chancellors Ruled Him - Eismark, of course, was responsible for all evil, and his brutal character often hurt the gentle soul of the Kaiser, who sought relief in solitude or travels. As for Caprivi, the

sign affairs in Europe, seems to have had a lather more human opinion of him, but Bulow, who was esteemed

by everybody having to do with foreigin affairs in Europe, seems to have earned the Kaiser's hostility. The only other one of his chancellors, beside Ilohenlohe, was Bethmann-Holl-weg, the man of the 4th of August, he who had the audacity to justify

the violation of by alleging that This man. at

Belgian neutrality it was necessary, least, one would

think, would have been epared by William, since Bethmann obeyed both him and the German General Staff. But no William pictures his last Chancellor as weak and vacillating, calls him contemptuously (in spite of his docility in 1918) "the civilian Chancellor," and, at the same time, with incomprehensible inconsistency, shows him up as a didactic schoolmaster, peevish, incapable of taking advice and invariably Imposing on his own will upon others. The Kaiser, in his Memoirs, abandons everything and everybody, takes to abject and headlong flight, to a flight even more nauseating, if that be possible, than his flight of November, 1318. Can the Kaiser hope to make anyone belive that, in all the length and breadth of Germany, there is but one innocent man himself? Poses as a Puppet On the contrary, the resolve made

ey nim, wiien ne was a young man

quite without experience, scarcely

two yeara after his assumption of

the terrible burden of power, to dis-

miss Bismarck, the great creator of German unity, the comrade of his

grandfather, is proof of his ardent desire to enforce hia sovereign will

and impose his control upon the empire. At the age of thirty-two he overthrew one of the iron men of history; yet he wishes us to believe

that later, with his authority con

stantly growing stronger, he was a mere puppet of the chancellors sum

moned by him. Truly, the Kaiser,

paradoxical as it may seem, has

brought Germans and French upon common ground, since both have, a

like distaste for methods such aa he

employs in his memoirs. Karl Kautsky's Documents

In" order to bring out clearly the

great discrepancy between the Kaiser

of yesterday and his picture of him

self in his book, it would suffice to

read the documents which Karl Kautsky brought to light, the full collection of criminal dispatches, the

murderous deed in its phases of preparation and execution that book whose 800 documents, concealed at first, have finally overwhelmed the

thirty-two published at the beginning Really, it would seem as if the Kai

ser had never read them!

But he did read them, because he jotted down notes along their margin! And what notes they are! We

cannot quote all the opinions that he

Bet down, pen in hand, thinking

doubtless, that they would be locked up, safely hidden from history, but

which suddenly bobbed up one day

to the shame of him who wrote them!

The language in which they are couched is rude and sometimes filthy. Here are some examples:

A series of conditions should be sent to the Serbs, and if they did not accept these, energetic steps should be taken. I take advantage of every such opportunity for quietly but earnestly i'uiscouraging precipitate measures.

AMUSEMENTS

PALACE Charles Jones, star is Fox photo

prays, appears to be a most persistent winner of popular approval. Last night was no exception, for he plainly captured his audience when he opened an engagement at tHe Fallace theatre in

"Rough Shod" based on a Charles

Selzer story. Every one who knows Selzer's western romances knows how well they 'are suited to screen adapta

tion; and all theatre-goers know how

well screen work is produced by Fox.

Add to these points the fine ability of

Jones as an actor, and last night's triumph is readily understood.

Jones never has done better worn

here. The interest, clinched at the very start of the story, increases steadily to the final fade-out. Here is a photoplay of .appeal strong enough to

reach every temperament a drama,

lions throughout the world, has to do with the romance of a Norwegian girl who weds a British nobleman and captij-ates London society by her dazzling beauty and charm. London at first scoffs and lifts a doubting eyebrow. But Thelma triumphs at last with a personality that is invincible. For downright, clean-cut romance and drama, this production would, .in truth, be hard to beat.

MURRAY One of the scenes in Maurice Tourn-

eur's super drama, "The Foolish Mat

rons," which is the attraction at the

Murray theatre now, shows an exclu

of cafe, however, that advertises its

peerless cabaret and other exclusive features. Behind the granite and the glare of New York there are countless

cafes where advertising would only

detract from their business. It is one of those cafes - that men-about-town frequent with young women who

would not be seen in the generally known places. Here under the spell of seductive lights and enchanting music, mingled with the tinkling of sparkling glass and soft words, the goddess of profligacy reigns, unseen and unthought by the countless young women who are lured to the apparently innocent places of enjoyment. It is here tiiat Doris May, in the role of Georgia Wayne, js lured by the man who poses as her husband's friend. It all appears so innocent, this trap that is set for the young bride, that she does not realize the folly of it all until, just at the crucial moment, when her real happiness seems assured, the crash conies which tears her from her husband and casts her down into the crucible of blasted hopes. The story of Georgia Wayne is one that will burn into the hearts of the
