PXGE SIX arEDfrORD MAIL' TRIBUNE; rEDFOR'D. -Q-RTlflOK MONDAY, 'APRIL 7. 1010 KAISER FORCED 10 ABDICATE BY PRINCE MAX Announcement Made In Berlin Before War Lord Acquiesced Von Hln- denbura Refused to Put Down - Revolution Emperor Insisted On Keeping Prussian Throne. BERLIN. April 5. (Bv the Asso- tfiuted Press.) While admitting thore was .a difference of opinion amontr German generals as to the practicability of fighting to maintain the imperial regime in November. Count ISeliulenberg, commander of n guards regiment, maintains in an Article on the abdication of Emperor Vilhnm published in the Freiheit that there were enouch loyal troops to havi mnrchod onf Aix La Chapellc and Cologne and put down the revo lution. The count savs that Field Marshal Von Hindenbure and . Gen eral Groener. Prussian war minister, would not assume the responsibility for sujh.it move. however, arguing that things had cone too far and that only the abdication of former Em peror William could save the situa tion. 'The emperor, he savs. wns em- - phatic in' declaring that he did not desire civil war and that he would not call upon the army to engage in such a conflict , r t Insisted on Prussian Crown ' Internal . conditions becoming worse. William at length agreed to Count Schulenberg's advice to ab dicate as emperor, but not as king of Prussia. Field Marshal Von Hinden- burg indorsed the course but in the opinion of General Groener it was too late, although it might have saved the situation two weeks earlier. In the meantime there came rumors from .Berlin of the imminence of civil war and street fighting was actually be eun there. Finally the imperial chan- - cellor telegraphed i :that civil war might break out at any moment if the . abdication was .' not announced at once. vji. v!'; '':-y Hurried conferences were held bv the emperor and the crown, prince and the leading generals, the article says. There was a feeling among the Kenerals that the entire army could not be depended upon in case of civil war. To ' this '' Count - Schulenberg says he replied: . :;-- :v .-'iv' Chancellor Makes Announcement "No soldier would break his oath to the colors.' ', " . .' "The -oath to the colors and the supreme war- lord is only an idea." was the rejoinder of General ' Groe ner. :';. At this moment Adviral Von Hin tze, the foreign minister, entered with a menacing message from Berlin and tendered his resignation. vWilhelm then consented to abdicate as emper or but insisted on retaining his of . fice.as king, of Prussia and head of the army. The imperial chancellor had in the meantime, however, an nounced the abdication without waiting for the emperor's formal' dec laration. '. ' V , f : One-Sided Says Hindentmrg , , COPENHAGEN, April 7.

' : Medford people who were on the streets at 10:30 o'clock last night were thrilled and awed by the sight ot an unusually large and brilliant meteor flashing across the north sky, which disappeared behind Boxy Anne, leaving In its wake tor 'a tew seconds' a marvellous Illumination. The passage of the heavenly vis itor only lasted a second but its rays were bo bright that It plainly lighted up houses, trees and. the general landscape. Had one . a . newspaper handy he could have easily read by the meteor illumination say many of those who saw the phenomenon. ' The emotions the meteor caused in the minds ot those who saw its pas Sage and after-effects were varied. Soldiers who recently returned from France at first thought it was a mili tary - signal. Others Immediately thought of that mysterious aeroplane that has been long reputed to lurk back of Boxy Anne and were of the opinion that it was out .for an airing. Still other people at once jumped to the conclusion that the bright light was the radiance reflected from one of the Elks minstrel show bright jokes. But ail of the seers ot the wonderful Bight were so impressed they thought that it was time to go home and to bed. ' E RED IS HELD ON WHITE SLAVE CHARGE ' SPOKANE. Wash., April 7 Harry M.
