THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL. PORTLAND. THURSDA. MAY 13. 1920. KAISER REGARDED IE BY GERMAN HIGH COMMANDERS ' By Karl n. Ton Wlegand Berlin, Hay 1J. The German eu preme army command made a move early in 1918 to depose the kaiser by the constitutional means of declar ing him mentally incompetent, be cause he, was endangering the out come of the war through his sheer incapacity to reach a decision in vital moments. This sennatlonal revelation was made to me by Colonel Max Bauer, who was a member of the general staff aSd right hand man of Ludendorff, and who is credited, with the organization of the Kapp Luettwits coup of last March, for which he is being sought, by the gov ernment on a warrant. . 'Colonel Bauer preceded his statement with the assertion that In the general staff his own position wa often made difficult because he was looked upon as a Democrat, whereas now he is accused of being an arch-reactionary. WANTED KAISER DEPOSED "In January, 1918," said Bauer, "I told . Ludendorff that the kaiser must be de posed or else we would lose the war. I urged him to take steps for the elimina tion of the kaiser." Leading German medical - authorities. Colonel Bauer" averred, were subse quently won over to the conviction that the kaiser was irresponsible and were "ready to give their authoritative support to an official opinion to that effect. Thus the ! path was clear for consti tutionally deposing the emperor, but the plan wss shattered on Hlndenburg's Immovable opposition. The Incident Is part of the revelations of the Inner secrets of the German high command which Colonel Bauer Is re citing in a hook soon to appear., "I was In a highly Important position within the general staff from the be ginning to the end of the war." said Bauer. "I had peculiarly confidential relations with each chief Moltke, Fal kenhayne, Hindenburg and Ludendorff. I saw much of the kaiser, the crown prince and of the men around the kaiser, HIGH COMMAND WEAK Among the false conceptions In vogue," added Bauer, "is the popular fiction that the high command was abso lutely dictator of Germany's political as well as -military policy during the war. Z will give documentary proof that we could not even dictate the military pol icy, much less the political conduct of the government. "We were .only one of eight advisory . organisations around the kaiser. Instead of dictating, : the general staff was often on Its knees begging for a decision that was vitak i "Sometimes we had to wait weeks for an answer to Important requests. The kaiser procrastinated. He could not be Induced to make a decision. He lost time, which la so vital a factor In war. and at times ne aid not grant us what " we Imperatively needed. "It finally reached a stage where I saw what the outcome would be if some thing were not done. I then went to Lu dendorff and told him the kaiser must go. Things ; might be different had he . gone then instead of 10 months later, "Regrettable aa it is for me to make these revelations, it Is necessary to re fute the charges of alleged dictatorial powers on the part of the high general command." ; over the main j bridge between the 'S j tive and the foreign city. Recently the i Chinese cabinet held a meeting and sen' i a note to - Japan saying that China i would stand neutral in ' the present Russo-Japanese conflict The Japanese are censoring the. news from Vladivo stok severely and are attempting to be little the gravity of the situation there. It is . admitted, however, that while ' quiet prevails In Vladivostok isolated ; groups of Russians have attacked the! Japanese at interior places. It is con- ' sidered here that the Japanese will soon ' become so entangled that it will be dif ficult for them; to extricate themselves. : Japan's Siberian policy is strongly criti- i dzed by the Japanese newspapers, the majority of which consider that it is j time for the Japanese to withdraw. Siberians Distrust Japan's Promise to Leave Vladivostok By "William H. Giles . BpeoUl Cable to . The Journal and the Chloso Vmur New (Copyright, 1920, by Chioaco Daily Kew Co..) Peking, China, May U. According to Information received here the Russo Japanese situation in Siberia is grow ing more serioudaily. Russians of all elassea are enraged at the taking over by the Japanese of various strategical points, this being considered an attempt on the part of Japan to hold Vladivo stok just aa it now holds Tsingtao. The Russiana do not believe that Japan in tends to evacuate Siberia despite the official declarations to the contrary. The present situation is the climax to Ja pan's policy which has been and is most irritating; to the Siberians. Though the Chinese are supposed to control Harbin, the Japanese have taken Kapp!

Sweden,' May 13. Unless' the German government makes a de mand for the extradition of -Dr. Wolf-' gang Kapp, leader of the recent revolt In Berlin, the Swedish government will ' probably allow him to remain here as a political fugitive. Since his sensational arrival by i airplane from Warnemunde, Dr. Kapp has been under police guard, but has been given every possible con sideration in view of jis predicament. Being a fugitive from Germany he could not secure: a passport nor openly seek permission! to travel toward Sweden by ' the sea route, i He therefore took the easiest way and secured the services of' Lieutenant Juteibook, an aviator, who helped Mm during the brief days of his rule In Berlin and made a flight through extremely stormy weather to Malmoe. Under police i guard Dr. Kapp takes long walks and visits prominent cafes. He apparently enjoys even the restricted freedom of his Swedish refuge. He re fuss to talk on any phase of the recent coup. . i - j ' Trotzky j Directing Fight Against Poles London, May IS.
