The letter. Is dated Weiringen, Octo

cent publication of letters that were ex
changed between the former kaiser at
Doom and Pield Marshal yen iilnden
burg, former commander-in-chief of the
ncmui army, was part of the reason
for exposing; the present letter to the
nubile. ;
The text of the letter followa:
"My Dear privy Councillor : In my
lonellnesa I am especially grateful for
every word from my old friends. There,
fore you can imagine how glad I was
to near from yen and with what Inter
est I read your description and com
ments upon conditions In Germany,

pie. Aa for the crucial questions in
your laat letter to me. I can only say
that I. toe, believe that the question
of 'republic or monarchy must play no
part whatever at this time or tne tatn
erland's gravest need.
"As you knew, we have always repre
sented the viewpoint that menarchs ex
ist for the sake of the people; not the
people for the sake of the monarchs. Af
ter the terrible debacle ef 1911, the eon-
seauences ef which are making them
selves felt ever more and more oppres
sively, tha national assembly elected by
the German people adopted by a deci
sion of the majority the republican form
ef government Ia spite ef whatever
faults one may find with the Weimar
constitution, this is a fact. My personal
view that, for various reasons, monarchy
does more for the Interests of the peo
ple, cuts no ice.
eoTzmjrxaXT with cossest
"Any manner ef government can be a
blessing to tha people only if based upon
the national conviction, if approved
thereby and is firmly anchored by the
majority ot the people governed. Ia my
opinion, therefore, it Is a crime to in
tensity, class war in Germany today. .
..'Tha majority of German labor is
much too sensible not to realise that only
through leva of our country can it be a
blessing to Wt German; labor has an In
herent part In the national entity just
like all the others am) no form of gov

gether in the long run which la not sup

majority of labor. ,

It aa not only purposeless, but outright
detrimental that such Inflammatory ac
tivity should exist aa la nowadays ap

party, ef eoujne, hag perfect right t
soliolt members onto itaelf. Only this
must not be done In a manner that en
dangers quiet and order.
AST COUP WOULD BE CRIME
i "The process called "putsch" (meaning
coup) la and remains a crime against
the German nation, which today cannot
bear any fresh upheaval. .
