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 ,

that Schulenberg was not adequately
informed on the real situation." ' :
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. '
