BY KAISER; KNOWS
AMBASSADOR GERARD'S 4 YEARS IN GERMANY
SHQWN AT PAGE TONIGHT, FRIDAY, SATURDAY
AMSTERDAM, July IS. Maximil
ian Harden, tho only fearless editor
in all Germany, has broken loose
again. And thereby hangs a mys
tery. for years Germans have been dis
cussing the question :"Yhy has Har
den an immunity that no other jour
nalist enjoys? Harden is by birth a
Polish Jew and has made the anti
Semitic Prussian ruling class his spe
cial targots.
It will foe remembered that in his
paper. Hie Zukunft, he exposed the
immoral practices of some Prussian
princes who chummed with the kai
ser. Since tho war began he has
been just as fearless. He went on
from boldness to boldness, until one
day tho new3 wns cabled that he had
iheon squelched by having him called
into tho army a.s a minor clerk.
But they reckoned without their
harden. Only recently copies of Die
Zukunft wero smuggled Into Holland.
They contained slashing articles by
Harden in which lief bitterly attacked
the peace terms imposed upon poor
Rumania and scored Kuehlmann, the
minister for foreign affairs, tor his
conduct at Bucharest.
Knows Too Mw-li Ationt Knlser
All Germany guesses that Harden
is safe because ho knows too much
about the kaiser and his intimate ad
visers. Harden has put his documents and
papers In a safe place, either in Eng
land or in some neutral country, and
any radical action against him would
be followed by the publication of
these manuscripts.
It all goes back to tho eighties.
The old Emperor Wilholm was fail
ing. His son, tho liboral Crown
Prince Frederick, was known to havo
a fatal throat ailment. His wife was
an English princess, daughter of
Queen Victoria. She brought to Ger
many English liberalism and was bit
terly hated by Bismarck, the Iron
Chancellor, who was the real ruler.
Cultivated tito Kaiser
Tho apostle of 'blood and iron
know his day was over if Frederick
reigned long as emperor, so ho de
voted himself to cultivating his old
est son, the present emperor. Wil
helm openly coveted his father's
throno and flouted his mother. When
the old Wilholm died Frederick
reigned Just a few months. HIS body
was hardly cold in death before tho
young emporor practically turned his
mothor out of tho royal palaco.
Bismarck foresaw another long
lease of power. Then Wllhelm, who
could brook no rival, suddenly dis
missed tho old chancellor. Embit
tered, Bismarck mado himself a her
mit at his country place. One of the
few wolcomo visitors was Harden,
who becamo one of iBismarck's inti
mates. Ho engineered a ,press campaign
against Bismarck's enemies and it is
hinted was made a repository of all
Bismarck's vast knowledgo of the
secret history of Prussia and the
Hohcnzollcrn family.
That's why tho emperor and his
junkers daro not go too far with
Harden. Ho knows too much about
em and wouldn't scruple to uso it if
they pushed him.

MARSUF1ELD, Ore., July 18:
The pack of salmon on Rogue river
in Curry county this year will be
about up to tho average. The Mac
loay company will put up about 20,
000 and tlio Burns company probably
5000 more cases. Last year and the
year before wero particularly good
seasons. The large runs of fish have
'been due to the hatchery work which
has been conducted on the river by
tho government, sluto and by the
Macleay company.
The Rogue river fish will this year
probably all be sold on the general
market. Tho government estimates
the salmon pack at t!,i 500,000 cases.
For government purposes about 70
per cent will bo taken over but the
fish called for does not includo Cliin
ooks, which is tho grado packed on
Rogue river. Only 30 pej cent of tho
usual pack of tho country will bo on
the general market but the prices at
which tho canned salmon can bo sold
is to bo fixed by tho government. All
tho canned salmon now sold is to he
paid for ot whatever price the gov
ernment may set.
Tho fishermen aro being paid Sc a
pound for tho fish as they come from
tho river, this being tho price fixed
by tho government.

WASHINGTON, July IS. That
tho soviet government is tho hope
of Russia is ho mossago brought
from Russia 1y Raymond Robins,
who is in Washington reporting to
the stute department and White
House.
Robins brings tho latest, most
complete and most lntlninto Informa
tion yet disclosed on conditions lu
Russia. As head of tho Rod Cross
mission, his report has a valuo an
official report might not posaoss.
Robins remained In -Russia thru
tho turbulent period of tho revolu
tion nnd devoted many weeks to
traveling thru tho republic to got
information at first hand.
RohiitH possossc. asvantagos ovor
some other American representa
tives. Both ho and bis wife for years
devoted themselves to sottlomont
work in Chicago and 'Now York. Tills
work brought tlieui In touch witll
roproscntatives of the Russian rad
ical movement. Tho following inci
dent lllustratos his influence. Ho
had gono to a rcnioto province, and,
as ho stepped from tho train, ho was
;grooted iby a young Russian who
said in perfect English:
"This Is Raymond Robins, I be
Hove. I heard your wife once ad
dress a mooting of cloak makers in
Now York. I shall be glad to be of
sorvice to you if I can. 1 am a mem
ber of lliotlocul soviet government."
This kind of Introduction Is moTa
valuablo now in Russia than letters
from tho state department or mili
tary passports.
Many In Washington do not agree
with Robins' opinions about the
soviet govornmont, and thoy have
succoedod in keeping him from say
ing much. Ho was told there were
Important diplomatic and military
reasons why he must keep his mouth
shut. So tho public has heard little
about what Robins thinks; but the
administration has had a listening
oar and bos acquired much light on
tho Russian situation from him.
