The Mistakes of the Kaiser By RENE VIVIANI Premier of France When the War Broke Out Copyright, 19:12, by Tlie McClure Newspapet Syndicate.

XXXII LAST EFFORTS FOR PEACE On (lie evening of July 29 th, in view of Ihe preparations being made by Germany, which were increasing hourly,! r.nd in order to secure-herself against! Austrian mobilization, mobilization v hs to be decreed by Russia. Very late in the evening, before the Kussian General Staff had given the necessary orders by telegraph, the Czar gave an order countermanding mobilization, so that mobilization was confined to certain military districts. Was the order of the Czar, which gave proof of his love of peace, transmitted? Of that there is no doubt. So veil do the Germans acknowledge this that They say that this order was disobeyed, thus paying indirect homage to Ihe Czar. On this point a denial has been, given which is official and carries authority, emanating as it does from Dobrowoky, former chief of mobilization in the Russian General Staff. It is contained In a new document published by a Russian paper in Serbia, end was translater Into German under the title "Die Russische Moilisation." The general, who wa3 in a position to know all that was going on, flatly declares that any claim that the order was disobeyed is false. He adds that nobody would have thought of disobeying. Moreover, he adds, how could the failure to obey the order have been concealed from the Czar? There .then, is the explanation of the matter by the principal witness in the case the only witness, one may say. It constitutes proof of how the fHCts were falsified. The Kaiser has given us the opportunity to put an end to the legend spread by Germany. Thanks to him. the good faith and desire for pface of the Czar are brought into stronger relief. More Proofs of Kaiser's Guilt But it does not suffice merely to answer these memoirs. Though we "have no ned to furnish more proofs tfter the verdict handed down by 27 nations, we shall, notwithstanding, do more than is demanded by truth. The actions of the Allied governments are known. They are based on no garbled statements, no hearsay rumors or documents fabricated brutally out or the whole cloth, or discreetly rearranged; no such things can obscure the shining light of the efforts made in the countries of the Allies for

maintaining peace. It is necessary to take un these actions from the beginning during July. 1911. to follow them through that fatal month, as they develop, bound one to another, just as history, which is their judge, has followed them. The war did not break nut on Julv 29th, or 30th. or 31st. or on August 1st. Long before those dates it had been prepared, and was standing, in its full armor, waiting in the shadows. We shall see shortly that, guilty as were the Central Empires, and heavy as was their responsibility at the last moment, in the confusion born of their acts, they were even more guilty and even more heavily responsible before that, owing to the underhandedness, hypocricy. dishonesty and unfairness of their acts. We have sought to assemble here, in the form of summaries, all the things that were done, so that they may constitute an exact though incomplete resume. What did England, France and Russia do beyond drawing together for the purpose of mediation which was frustrated by Germany? What else did they do, from the very dav when the delivery of the ultimatum to Serbia became known? Here is a list of their acts 1. The British government advised the Serbian government, which heeded the advice, to be very moderate in its answer to Austria (Blue Book, 12-15 ct sequK

2. In agreement with Russia ana France and feeling that the time-limit oT two days granted Serbia is no better than strangling her, the British government asks for an extension of this period. fBlue Book, 12 et sequ.) The Central Empires absolutely refuse this request. ; 3. The British government asks extension of the time granted. (German Documents, IjT) pointing out that The shortness of the time makes war inevitable. Hcrr von Jagow makes an incomplete report to the Kaiser regarding this petition. . Austria emphatically refuses the delay requested by all. Germany, on her part, refuses the proposal of a four-nation confer

ence (Germany. France. Italy, England), alleging that Austria can not be tried by a European tribunal. (German Documents. 24S.) Further Efforts For Peace 4. Desirous that some sort of conference be held. Sir Edward Grey, after the setback suffered by the proposal for the holding of the four-nation negotiations, accepts, in agreement with Russia and France, the proposal that there be a private conversation between Russia and Austria (Blue Book 45-74 et sequ.). Answer: Declaration of war by Austria on Serbia, despite the latter's satisfactory answer, and refusal by Austria to discuss. 5. Serbia having been invaded. Sir Edward Grey, acting . in agreement with Russia and France, acquiesces in the occupation of Serbia by tbe Austrian armies as far as it has gone, and in Austria's making known her terms while maintaining the occupation, the said terms to be transmitted to the Powers and recommended by these to Serbia, provided the independence and integrity of the latter be respected (Blue Bok, SS-98 et sequ.). Answer: The Central Empires refuse to reply 31st. maintains the necessity for holdto this proposal. 6. The British government, on July ing the Austro-Russian conversations begun on July 31st, and seeks to suc

ceed in satisfying Austria and securing

the suspension of all military preparations (Blue Book. 110-111 et sequ.).

7. On August 1st, that most fateful day, on which war was declared against Russia, Sir Edward Grey sends seventeen dispatches to all the foreign offices urging an entente among the various nations. Answer: Germany and Rustria start the war. What Is there to.be added to the above? What Russia did? Very well. Let us see w hat were the acts of the Russian governmentr What Russia Did 1. After coming to agreement with Sir Edward Grey and France, and dcsnitp thp excited Slavic sentiments of

tbe Russians and the menace to Russia, the Russian government counseled Serbia to seek conciliation and from the very first day advised that she send an answer to the Austrian demands such as would be satisfactory to Austria.

2. On July 26th, after having asKea for extension of the time allowed Serbia (as France did) the Russian government asked that the Austrian ambassador at St. Petersburg be allowed to talk directly to it. (Orange Book, 3S-45 et sequ.) Answer: War by Austria against Serbia. 3. The Russian government refuses to be discouraged and supports the Grey proposal (Orange Book, 32-49). 4. In case of non-acceptance of the proposal of having a private talk between Russia and Austria, Russia states that she awaits proposals from the Powers (Blue Bok, 55-78 et sequ.; Orange Book, 32). 5. Following a request from the King of Serbia, the Czar, on July 27th, advised him to be calm. 6. On July 30th, M. Sazanoff dictates to Count Pourtales, German ambassador at St. Petersburg, a compromise formula and binds itself to suspend defensive measures (Orange Book, 60). Answer: Herr von Jagow refuses to transmit this formula to Austria. 7. M. Sazanoff even goes so far as to a.cquisce. with Grey and ourselves, in the occupation of Serbia by Austrian troops, adopting a policy of waiting (Orange Book, 67).

8. On July 31, the said government agrees to enter into discussion with Austria and telegraphs to that effect to London (Blue Book, 110 et sequ.). 9. On August 1st, after having received Germany's declaration of war,

the Russian government again asks to enter into negotiations, provided that Russian territory be respected, adding that Russia will not attack (Blue Book, 139). 10. On that same day, Russia declares that she w ill take no aggressive step, so long as discussions with Austria, just resumed, shall continue. (White Book, 12-13, et sequ.') There, then, is what Russia did . . . And France? France, in so far as she did not take the initiative herself, adhered heart and soul to the line of action adopted at the initiative of England and Russia. - - Before throwing light on certain of

her acts, I wish to call attention to the, fact that their principal witness, he who watched them close at hand Herr von Schoen, German ambassador at Paris has paid them striking homage in his dispatches (See the Memoirs

of Herr-von Schoen). On a number of occasions he brought to the knowledge of his government France's efforts in

the direction of peace. As for the said efforts, here they are: 1. As far back as July 24th, -914. at 1 o'clock in the morning, I telegraphed while on the way from Crondstadt to Stockholm, to the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs, asking that it seek, through our ambassador to Austria, to calm.down Austria and suggest to England that mediation be attempted by the four nations in order that the dispute might be arranged peacefully. (Yellow Book, No. 22.)

2. France supports Sirv Edward Grey's proposal. 3. (Yellow Book, No. 29.) The French government supports the request for extension of the time allowed Serbia. 4. It renews its request on July -Ith (Yellow Book, No. 61). 5. Same request, July 29th (Yellow Book, No. S5). 6. On July 29th (No. 97) France urgently asks at London that Sir Edward Grey renew the proposal of mediation by the four nations, in whatever form he may deem best. 7. On July 30th (No. 101) the French government suggests to Russia, that, if she adopts defensive measures against the mobolization already

carried out by Austria, slue give Ger-!

many no excuse for meddling. 8. On July SOih, a telegram is sent to England to inform the latter that the French government has just given the order to have the French troops

drawn back from the frontier a dis-j tance of 10 kilometers. 9. On July 31 (No. 112) the French government urges all ambassadors to support the English proposal of mediation by the four nations. 10. August 1st, 1914 (No. 122), France renews her declaration that she will respect Belgian neutrality. What more could be done? And why did all this fail? We shall answer this question in the clearest and most concise form, by making a series of summaries based on all the docu

ments in the case, which will show, date by date, day by day, the principal burdens of responsibility that fall upon Germany, since it is very difficult to see and assemble all in this frightful hodge-podge, when belated truths have taken the place of the original falsifications. (To Be Continued) Germans have to work fourteen days each year to pay their taxes; in France the taxes call for twenty-eight days' work.

"It pays to advertise" is a slogan which usually is interpreted to mean that the merchant who uses publicity to move his goods is the only one who is benefited. But the fact is that the reader of the advertisement also receives a financial benefit of which he often is not aware. "In a recent editorial on The Profit in Reading Advertisements', the Philadelphia Record brings out the other side of the case. It is the Record's contention that it pays the buyer to read adv ertisements quite as much as it pays the seller to advertise his wares.

"Suppose that you received and read a newspaper every day, and your neighbor did not. Is there any doubt that your income would reach further than your neighbor's if you took full advantage of the opportunities afforded by newspaper advertising? Does not the reader of advertisements put many a dollar in his pocket or at least, keep many a dollar there through learning how, when and where to buy the necessities, the luxuries and amusements that enter into his daily living?" asks the Record. "The answer to these questions are obvious. And there never was a time when reading advertisements was more profitable to buyers than right now. The great majority of people are finding it necessary to economize in their personal, household and business expenditures.-They are looking for every opportunity to make a saving in their purchases. The advertising columns of the daily newspaper are an invaluable guide to the close, thrifty buyer. They present to him daily exhibits of prices of a wide range of materials from which he may make an intelligent selection. "In this period of deflation many merchants are sacrificing various lines of goods from time to time. By studying the advertisements the reader is able to make substantial savings in picking up the bargains offered. "These are only phases of the general proposition that advertising is valuable to the reader. The careful reader of advertisements is always a more intelligent shopper and gets more satisfaction out of buying. "Today when newspapers insist that their readers study the advertisements as well as read the news stories, it is not merely to favor the advertiser, but it is to stimulate the reader into a habit that will be profitable to him. Modern advertising is necessarily of mutual benefit, else it could not survive. It is essential to recognize that since advertising has been raised to its present levels of honesty and news value, the maxim 'it pays to advertise' has a double meaning. It pays both the reader and the seller."
