As I went down the steps the Empress and her only daughter, the Duchess of Brunswick, came up. Both stopped and shook hands with me. speak T ,l,fl TTS-ii _ lllg H lew W UI US.

Telegraph forms were scattered on the table in front of him. and basking in the gravel were two small dachshunds. I explained to the Em-, peror the object of my visit, and we; had a general conversation about the! war and the state of affairs. The Emperor took some of the large telegraph blanks and wrote out in pencil his reply to the President's: offer. This reply, of course. I cab-j led immediately to the State Department. The document is as follows: "10-VIII 14. "For the President of the United; States personally: "1. H. R. H. Prince Henry was received by his Majesty King George V in London, who empowered him to trasmit to me verbally that. England would remain neutral if war broke out on the Continent involving Germany and France. Austria and Rus sia. This message was telegraphed to me by my brother from London after his conversation with H. M. the King, and repeated verbally on the twenty-ninth of July. "2. My ambassador in London transmitted a message from Sir E. Grey to Berlin saying that only in case France was lively to be crushed England would interfere. / "3. On the thirteenth my ambassador in London reported that Sir Edward Grey in course of a 'private* conversation told him that if the conflict remained localized between Russia?not Serbia?and Austria,! England would not move, but if we 'mixed' in the fray she would take! quick decisions and grave measures; j i. e., if I left my ally, Austria, in the! lurch to fight alone, England would not touch me. "4. This communication being di-' rectly counter to the King's message to me I telegraphed to H. M. on the thenty-ninth or thirtieth, thanking him for kind messages through my brother, and begging him to use all his power to keep France and Russia ?his allies?from making any warlike preparations calculated to disturb my work of mediation with H. M. the Czar. In the evening the King kindly answered that he had ordered his Government to use every; possible influence with his allies toj refrain from taking any provocative: military measures. At the same1 time H. M. >sked me if I would I transmit to Vienna the British pro-1 posal that Austria was to take Bel-; grade and a few other Serbian towns | and a strip of country as a "main-j raise' to make sure that .the Serbian I I promises on paper should be fulfilled in reality. This proposal was in the same moment telegraphed to me from' Vienna for London, o,uite in conjunc-j tion with the British proposal: be-, sides, I had telegraphed to K. M. the Czar the same as an idea of mine *\ before I received the two communications from Vienna and London, as both were of the same opinion. "*5. I immediately transmitted the telegrams vice versa to Vienna and London. 1 felt that 1' was able to tide the Question over and was happy at the peaceful outlook. "6. While I was preparing a note to H. M. the Czar the next morning, to inform him that Vienna, London, and Berlin were agreed about the treatment of affairs. I received the telephones from H. E. the Chancellor that in the night before he Czar had given the order to mobolize the whole of the Russian Army, wJiich was, of course, also meant against Germany; whereas up till then the southern armies had been mobilized against Austria. "7. In a .telegram from London my ambassador informed me he understood the British Government wrmid ^narantee neutrality of France, and wished to know whether Germany would refrain from attack. I telegraphed to H. M. the King personally that mobolizatiorf being already carried out and could not be stopped but if H. M. could guarantee with his armed forces the neutrality of France 1 would refrain from attacking her, leave her alone, and employ my troops elsewhere. H. M. answered that lie thought my offer was based on a misunderstanding: and, as far as I can make out. Sir E. Grey never took my offer into serious consideration. He never answered it. Instead he declared England had to defend Belgian neutrality, which had to be violated by Germany on strategical grounds, news having been received that France was al KAISEU FORCED WAR. : Ex-Senator Condemns Those Who Would Create Anti-War Sentiment. ; Bennettsville, Aug. S.?Former I United States Senator John L. McI i Laurin, of this city, has been doing | all in his power to assist in presentj ing to th.e people of Marlboro county j the importance of food production [and conservation of all products and [resources, and of cooperating in every j way possible with the government in its plans at this time. Realizing I the effectiveness of his work, some of | ! niu noi'cntm! fvionrlc who havp differ-! j ed from him at times on political I questions have suggested to him the j propriety of his making his position ! known to the State at large. The ! News and Courier correspondent learning today that Senator McLaurj in had written .Mr. I). R. Coker a letter in accordance with his suggestion , of friends, requested a copy for publication. It is as follows: Mr. McLaurin's Letter. Bennettsville, S. C., Aug. 7, 1917. .Mr. David R. Coker, Hartsville, S. C. Dear Mr. Coker: I notice that opposition is being fomented against our State doing its full part in this world war. I regard this as the most momentous epoch since the birth of Christ, and it seems to me that the fate of popular government is going to depend upon what the United States may be able to do within the next year. The administration at Washington did all in its power to keep out of war, but Germany forced it upon us by the use of cruel and inhuman methods. I am too old to volunteer for actual service in vthe field, but I am perfectly willing to do anything in my power to aid in this cause. I am writing to you as chairman of the Council of State Defense, because you might hesitate to call upon me because of the fact that our political affiliations have been different. In the light of the great events which are transpiring petty factional politics seem very small to me. We might as well understand that the stake is the domination of theworld either by an autocracy under German rulers or a democracy under United States leadership. Who doubts that if England and France were conquered that we would not have to fight Germany as soon as she could mobilize the resources of the conquered peoples? Is it not more sensible to fight when we are ready and not when Germany is ready? The success of Germany means the negation of every governmental principle in which we believe. Germany means to keep Belgium, Poland and Northern France, making a vast military empire of middle Europe. She will control the Balkans and the Dardenelles and take toll of all traffic with Asia. She will reorganize and dominate Russia, and in her own good time send vast armies to attack the United States and force an indemnity so great that we will not have homes in which we live. I believe that we will be called upon to make great sacrifices; all of the nations will suffer; but the fires of war wil^ burn away the dross and out of it will come a finer and higher civilization. Germany has outraged the conscience of the world by her brutality to women and children in all of the conQuered countries, to say nothing of her ruthless submarine warfare. She is bound to go down | before a world in arms. If you can use me in any way, my i services are at your command. Yours very truly, (Signed) JXO. L. McLAURIX. will m:i>uc i: TmTici: of ukeap. ' j ! Food Administration Announces Plan I For Control of Wheat. Washington.
