word from the chief court marshal
that the Emperor would receive me
at the palace in Berlin on the morning
of August 10. 1 drove in a motor
into the courtyard of the palace
and was there escorted to the door,
which opened on a flight. of steps
leading to a little garden about 50
yards square, directly on the embankment
of the River Spree, which
flows past the royal palace. 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

seated at a green iron table
under a large canvas garden umbrella.
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.

Food Administration Announces Plan I
For Control of Wheat.
Washington. Aug. 12.?The food
J administration announced tonight its
; plan for controlling wheat, flour and
I bread, revealing that the government
,i is prepared to take over the whole
1917 wheat harvest if necssarv to
'conserve the supply, obtain just prices

Establishing of buying agencies at
all the principal terminals, licensing
(of elevators and mills, fixing of a
j price to be considered fair, regulaj
tion of the middleman and of grain
! exchanges with the elimination of

tures of the plan. *The licensing will
! begin September 1.
! The minimum price of $2 for wheat
