Grande's Place for Recreation. The Kaiser Says History Will Clear Htm ot Blame for War. London, Aug. 15. The Daily News today printed a Berne dispatch quot ing the kaiser as saying: "1 don t envy the men having the responsibility of this war on his con science. I, at least, am not that man. J believe history will clear me of the charge although I do not suppose his tory will hold me faultless. In a sense every civilized man in Europe must share the responsibility. The higher his position the larger his re sponsibility. I admit that, yet claim I acted in good faith throughout and strove for peace although war was inevitable." The News said the kaiser made the statement to a prominent neutral vis iting Berlin. j That Riverside park is rapidly re paying in every way all the money and trouble that has been bestowed upon it is plainly apparent. The park has become the natural rallying place for picnics, societies, churches and all 'organized civic divisions all the way from the small, individual citizen who likes to wade or swim or shoot the chutes, the equally rolicksome de votees of the dance and the "winnie" fests up to the matured ones who like a place of quiet meeting. The park is the common gathering place for all. Just recently in a small section in a corner of the park grounds adjoin ing the river auto tourists are allowed "camping1" privileges. This is a verit able boon to the country's new bri gade of tramps who hail all the way from New York to Texas and back again. This is a good advertisement for La Grande. Those who are doing the country by the gasoline mode are entitled to such privileges. They will spend enough anyway to make up the difference in having a free spot to al low their outfits to cool. L,ocany, it is oimcuit to imagine Detroit Political Battle Ground Detroit, Aug. 16. Detroit politi cal battle ground of the nation! Such it is today. For the first time in its history the issues of a great cam paign are being fought out by the leaders in this city of the middle west. Roosevelt started the tide of battlo Detroitward when he came here to preach preparedness. President Wil son selected the City of the Straierhts for his most important address of the pre-campaign period. Charles Evans Hughes launched his campaign for the Presidency August 7. Ask Mich igan politicians why and the answer almost invariably is: "Ford." Roose velt came to fight the anti-militaristic movement that crystalized follow ing Henry Ford's unexpected appear ance in the results of the Presidential primaries. Wilson picked Detroit as the place for his address on Mexican relations. (Politicians Ibelieve that the 'selection of Detroit was be cause he recognized it as a repre sentative industrial center. Then came Hughes, selecting Detroit as the scene of his first offensive move in th actual campaign. The motive of the republican nominee in Dickinir the au tomobile city was practical politics.
