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.

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

Stockholm.' 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 '
