been a cabaret manager." declared
MaxlmilMan Harden, in an Interview
today. "The kaiser had an imperson
al part in the war- He was discred
ited, becoming a j tinker's tool. They
thooKht him a coward, fearinjc ho
would f 1 il to siiin the war declara
tion, so they sent him northward. For
eigners saw the kaiser's outside but
never his Interior. The urmistfeft
terms are hard. If they form a basis
for the peace terms. Germany is
mined. Hy losinic possession of Alsace-Lorraine
and Silesia she cannot
become an imlustrliil conntrv. M 1 1
