WAR GUILT FIXED ON

Personally Responsible.

Orders Issued to Give No

GCMLIGEN, Switzerland. June 6.
(By the Associated Press.) Germany
was wholly In agreement with Austria
Hungary concerning the ultimatum sent
to Serbia at the outbreak of the war,
eays Dr. Wllhelm Muehlon. former di
rector of Krupps. In further disclosures
on the responsibility for the bringing
on of the conflict.
Emperor William was personally re
sponsible for Germany's participation
and forced the German leaders to sup
port his war policy.
Dr. Muehlon, who was head of
Krupps at the outbreak of the war and
who recently startled Europe with his
disclosures, received the correspondent
of the Associated Press at his country
place here, where he is now living in
retirement.
War Agreement Disclosed.
Dr. Muehlon's first disclosures, which
caused such a commotion, gave conver
sations with Dr. Karl Helfferich, for
mer Vice-chancellor, and Dr. Krupp
von Bohlen, chief owner of the Krupp
works, in which both told him the Em
peror had -disclosed his agreement with
Austria-Hungary on the ultimatum to
Serbia and that Germany would mob
ilize Immediately If Russia mobilized,
which would inevitably draw In the
other powers and precipitate a univer
sal war.
A document now Issued is more de
tailed and general and gives day by
day notes made by Dr. Muehlon at the
critical time at the opening of the war.
Dr. Muehlon had then gone from the
Foreign Office to the directorate of
Krupps and his position gave him con
stant access to the highest quarters.
Further Disclosures May Come.
He gives glimpses of the chief fig
ures from the Emperor down, but in
the main avoids the mention of names
for reasons of discretion, though there
are likely to be further chapters later,
giving names, letters and documents,
showing how the highest quarters in
Germany planned systematically for
the bringing on of a general war.
The whole trend of the present work
Is to show that the world conflict was
imposed by the German Emperor's per
sonal military policy and his private
engagement with Austria on the eve
of the struggle.
Dr. Muehlon gives further details of
the conference with Dr. Helfferich im
mediately preceding the war In which
Helfferich told of the Emperor's plans
iowara Austria and Russia.
Muehlon's Statement Stands.
Although Muehlon has been fiercely
attacked by the German government
ana tne Reichstag its version is sub
stantlally unchanged. He makes the
following addition concerning the em
peror's agreement with Austria on the
beroian ultimatum:
"I got the impression that the choice
01 worm bad not been agreed upon,
wmcn was a dangerous omission by
German diplomacy in view of the
risks Germany was taking. In effect,
Austria was given carte blanche and
Germany agreed without condition to
everytning Austria wrote into the
note."
Dr. Muehlon was asked who wr tv-
Austrians with whom the German Em
peror had made a private agreement
He said he was unable to say posi
tively, although he had heard from re
liable sources that it was Field Marshal
Conrad von Hoetzendorf, former chief
of the Austrian general staff.
The former Krupp director relates
incident following the outbreak of
the war when the Emperor required all
the German leaders to become involun
tary supporters of his war policy.
Ftomine Exacted by Kataer.
Assembling them as guests, the Em
peror exclaimed suddenly:
"Now, gentlemen, advance and, as we
-grasp hands, promise me you will
stand with me to the last breath."
Commenting on this. Dr. Muehlon
Bays:
"The guests could hardly do other
wise when thus bidden by their impe
rial host in his own castle to shake
hands with him and thus' a vow was
extorted which would be of value only
if given freely."
Dr. Muehlon declares that the order
issued by the Crown Prince of Bava
ria to the troops In Belgium amounted
to a command to give no quarter to
prisoners. . He adds:
"I have received a letter from the
neia wmcn brings me the unheard-of
information that the Emperor has him-
en saia ne nad enough prisoners and
nas tola nis orticers he hoped they
would take good care to make no more
pnauners. i nis news is quite authen

governmental control of press and the
complete suppression of independent
personal judgment.
It also takes up the unreliability of
the German military communiques and
the writer expresses severe criticism
of the German aristocracy, industrial
ism and the hopelessness of the oresent
conflict to place Germany In an en
during position over the destinies of
iurope.
The chief significance of the crit
Icisms and disclosures is that they come
from one who occupied a foremost posi
tion in the public and industrial life in
Germany.
In the course of his review Dr. Mueh
lon takes up the subject of the guns
made by Krupps for Belgians, which
were retained by the Germans and used
by them. in the war.
Belgian Unprepared for War.
Dr. Muehlon's position as a director
of Krupp's permits him to tell how Bel
gium refused to accept the guns, which
were for the defense of Antwerp, thus
demonstrating that Belgium had no
hint of Germany's purpose to begin the
war. He says:
"Belgium drew virtually all her war
material from Germany and' depended
upon us for models and manufacture.
Thus, 28-centimeter guns for fortifying
Antwerp had been ordered and were
ready for delivery.
"The earthworks at Antwerp, how
ever, were not sufficiently advanced
and Belgium asked us to keep them and
shortly before the war even offered to
pay storage on the guns if they were
kept until It was convenient to accept
them.
"The guns, therefore, were held and
when the war broke the Prussian War
Minister took possession of these can
non and turned them to his own use."

WITH THE FRENCH ARMY IN
FRANCE, June 6. (By the Associated
Press.) Continued attempts by the
Germans to extend their lines on the
Oise yesterday met with disastrous
failure. They tried to get around Point
l'Eveque by crossing the Oise tn the
neighborhood of the northernmost point
of Carlepont wood, where the small
hill. Montalagache, stands out like a
bastion, but the French drove them
back immediately they left the protec
tion of their lines.
The sector between the Oise and the
Aisne also found the allies very active.
They are determined to hold this and
are displaying the greatest energy in
improving their positions, at the same
time capturing small groups of pris
oners, most of whom show signs of ter
rible fatigue and privation.
Many Germans Killed.
A French prisoner who made his 'es
cape from the German lines, declared
that hundreds of bodies of Germans
were lying around everywhere. Ac
cording to his story, the Germans
guarding himself and others had not
received rations since May 27 and were
compelled to live upon what they
found. The same conditions, he added,
prevailed throughout the German
armies In the front lines.
An unmalled letter found on a Ger
man officer in another part of the line
tells a similar tale of the shortage of
food.
WITH THE BRITISH ARMY IN
FRANCE, June 6. (By the Associated
Press.) An enemy attack against the
French In the neighborhood of Locre
last night met with a repulse, although
the Germans apparently succeeded In
capturing Locre Hospice, which lies
just southeast of the village.
Hospice la Occupied.
The operation was a local one with
Locre as its objective. The Hospice
was gained after hard fighting, but
when the assaulting troops tried to
advance further 'they came up against
such a grilling machine-gun and artil
lery fire that they were forced to aban
don the attempt and fall back to the
Hospice, which, at the latest reports,
they were still holding.
This bit of ground with the buildings
has changed hands many times within
the last few weeks. Locre and the
Hospice lie well up on a slope which
culminates in the important elevation
known as Mont Kouge to the west.

. Bridge la Blown Ip.
"On the first of June, toward evening,
taking advantags of tho darkness, the
Germans stole toward the large bridge,
in which direction they penetrated
through the western suburbs to the
banks of the Marna- In order to mask
their movements, they made use of
smoke bombs, which made the aim of
the machine guns very difficult. At the
same time the town underwent an ex
tremely violent bombardment At the 1
moment when the Germans arrived on '
the large bridge and' believed them
selves to be In possession of the same,
a terrific explosion destroyed the cen
ter pier. Some Germans who had al
ready crossed were taken on the south
bank.
"The American machine guns held
tho south bank and gave protection
for the withdrawal of the troops re
tiring from the northern section for
the purpose of crossing the bridge,
prior to its destruction. - Here again
the courage of the Americans was be
yond all praise. The Colonials them
selves, though accustomed to acts of
bravery, were struck by the wonderful
morale in the face of fire, the coolness
and the extraordinary steadiness of
their allies.
Yankcea Ever Vlallaat.
"The watchfulness of the Americans
never failed them and with their ma
chine guns playing upon the approach
of the destroyed bridges and foot
bridges, they prevented any re-attack
by the enemy. They will be relieved
at the same time as the French troops
at the side of whom they fought.
"The French command, knowing their
Just pride, feared that they would have
Humiliated these valiant troops If they
had offered them rest sooner than their

episode of the Chateau Thierry will re

us to know that our valiant allies have
shared with us there."

Proposed Structure Probably Will Be
Located on East' Side and Will
Accommodate . SO Pupils. , .
Another step toward the establish
ment of an open-air school, for the
use of tubercular children, was taken
yesterday when the School Board voted
to advertise for bids for construction.
The plan has been under advisement
for some time, and complete specifica
tions were presented yesterday by F.
A. Naramore, superintendent of prop
erties. If suitable bids are received the
open-air school will be constructed on
district property at East Sixtieth and
Stark streets. It will be built on the
most approved modern lines and will
have classroom capacity for 50 pupils.
The directors also heard a petition
from the faculty and students of Lin
coln High School praying that an ath
letic field be set aside for their use,
as the school is wholly without facili
ties to carry on its physical training
programme. Action was deferred, the
request being referred to the buildings
and grounds committee.
The board was asked by S. C. Bratton
for the use of its various school build-
rigs one day each week throughout
the vacation period for the meetings
of patriotic organizations and general
war work.
It was the opinion of the directors
that the district cannot .comply with
the Government's request for rifles to
be furnished selective service men who
are to enter the mechanical training
course at Benson Polytechnic School,
and the request was referred to a com
mittee for investigation.

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
FRANCE, June 6. (By the Associated

Americans in the fighting with the
Germans killed a large number of the
enemy and themselves suffered very
light casualties.

One of the Americans fighting near
Font-a-Mousson had a narrow escape
when he mistook an enemy biplane for
a monoplane. The German observer
poured a stream of bullets at the Amer

machine. It was not damaged, however.

The Americans lost only one man killed
and a few wounded. At the same time
French troops wiped out 300 Germans
who had obtained a footing on the
southern bank of the Marne.
While the Germans dominated the

Food Administrator Ayer Takes Mat
ter Up With. Washington and
Finds That It la Impossible.
In the view of State Food Adminis
trator W. B. Ayer, there is scant
chance to influence the milling di
vision of the National Food Adminis
tration to permit Oregon mills to grind
up the surplus of wheat now in the
state, as Is being urged by Secretary
W. D. B. Dodson, of the Chamber of
Commerce, on behalf of business inter
ests of the state.
While In Washington, says Mr. Ayer,
he took up this same matter with his
chiefs, and was told Just why the favor
could not well be granted. Both in
person and by letter Mr. Ayer, yester
day explained the situation to Mr. Dod
son. Portions of the letter of explana
tion follow: ,
On of Mr. Hoover's first moves was to
call the millers of the United States Into a
conference, the result of which was a volun
tary agreement .between the grsat majority
of the milling capacity of this country and
the Government, known as the milling
agreement, which prodded that the mills
should grind only a percentage of their pre
vious three years' average and should limit
their profits to a stated amount. The Gov
ernment, In Its turn, agreed with the millers
that It would do its utmost to see that
thera was a uniform and equitable dlstrlbu
tlon of wheat to all mills on the basis of
their allotment.
I dlscuaied this matter of grinding the
wheat remaining In this section In local
mills Instead or shipping It K.a.t, with Mr.
Hoover and alao with Mr. Barnes, head of
the Grain Corporation in New York, and
much J.o my amazement was Informed that
owing to tho shortage of last year's crop
in certain territories, that they had been
unable to fulfill their part of the agree
ment, namely, the supply of wheat to all
mills on an equitable basis, and that the
allotments to the mills In the Northwest
have run over the amount promised by 10
per cent; and mills In certain other terri
tories were considerably under the promised
allotment, and that the good faith of the
American Government made It necessary
that they should do their utmost to fulfill
their promises.
Both air. Hoover and Mr. Barnes appre
ciate the facts presented In your telegram.
snd It is only for the reasons set forth
above that It Is Impossible for them to ac
cede to a similar request which I made of
them.
