C, WEDNF> KAISER BILL TELLS HIS STORY Former German Emper-; or Writing Book To Place Blame For War on England The Hague, March 13 (By the As eoclatet] Press),--In the book rm has written for private distribution In an attempt to show that Great Bri? tain was responsible for the world j war, former ISmperor William of Germany throughout always speaks of himself In the third prison. Ho points to William JI as the man who tried for 30 years to maintain peace i In ESurope, but says he was foiled by the perfidious machinations of Great Britain, Fram e and Russia. As long ago as 1905, the former kaiser says, he tried to found a league Of nat ions. Although no full copy of the book is yet available and both the former iemperor's entourage and the Dutch and German governments are worried because of the publication of brief extracts from it, sufficient of the con j tents Of tin Volume have leaked out to indicate the general trend of the entire work. The leak waa princi? pally due to the Berlin correspond? ent of the Rotterdam Maaabods. I The correspondent says the book begins with notes as far back as I ISM. (William succeeded his father I ing and emperor it? 18SS). "In some places,'' says the Mans bode correspondent, "the document Is very interesting, especially notes of August. 1891, where he treats of the visit of William to Czar Alexan? der III at Narvik when the czar taiid hu hated the French republic Iand,wanted to restore a monarchy in Prance. Bui already, says the kaiser. In Russian-French military agreement had been negotiated saying that In the event of the mobilization of .any member of the triple alliance (Pre!* |nund) * mobilisation Of French and Russian forces would be ordered im? mediately and the armies thrown into action at once. I nder date of April IS, lSa?. the former emperor wrote: "An Fnglish proposal for an al? liance of Germany against ?Uusa^t is (let lined in order not to endanger the world's peace. "At tin- same time Delcaese (then French minister Of foreign affairs) proposed to the German ambassador In Parts a German-French agreement in order to prevent the Portuguese colonies tailing umb r British influ? ence. This uoposal was not an s\\ ei cd." The former emperor also claims that he drafted a project for a league of nations under dato of .March LM, 1906. "A proposal" says the book, "was made by the former kaiser to til* rear and to Witte (then Russian for? eign minister) to found S league of nations consisting of the triple al? liance ami the French and Russian alliance, with the understanding also that other groups or separate coun? tries may become members of the league. The proposal was accepted by ihe csar and Witte. There was no question as to potential power over this leugue." Regarding the mission to Germany In February. 1912, of Viscount Hal dsnei then British lord high chancl 101. t he booh su) s: "German efforts to conclude neu trelity with Bnglena! tailed m conse? quence of the absurd demand for a cessation of development of the Ger I man Heel through the curtailment id* t!i" building of m-w ships." > Tim fornn r emperor In the book deals with the mobilisation of 1914, He says this begun as early as April of thai year, and the mobilisation or the Fuglish banks in order to get ' lU ige stocks oh gold.

LOOKING AT OTHER SIDE Dr. Simons Appears to Question Whether Allied Demands Have Been Rightly Estimated in j Berlin Berlin, March 13.?By the Asso? ciated Press.? Dr. Walter Simons, the foreign minister held a ninety-minute ipeech in the Reichstag Saturday, during which he gave an elaborate exposition of the proceedings at the recent rep-nations conference in Lon? don. The tone of the speech was no? ticeable for its extreme moderation. The speaker appeared to question whether the allied demands had been rightly estimated in Germany. ' I must say." T>r. Simons declared, "that when one comes from France with our opponents in London; e/hen one hears what the situation is in i heir countries and under what dis? tress and cares they emphasise they are laboring, becomes clear that their demands are not Inspired only by vic? tor and lust for power." [ While stoutly maintaining the al? leged illegality of the penalties, he declared he was strongly opposed to rupturing returns with the allies be cause 'our position in the world is not such that it could be improved by a breach." "If we now resorted to severe mega* urea," said Dr. Simons, "this would only be regarded .as confirmation of hat opinion and we should lose all that good will we so sorely need to extricate us from our great difficul? ties." Dr. Simon- described the proposed levy on German goods as "a gross blunder for t>m allies themselves." be ?ause, he declared, it would drive trade with Germany Into the hands of {peculators and hopelessly Impede the 'ormidable task Of restoring interna? tional exchange, which it would be impossible to do until the (tuestion of stabilising German exchange was I solved.

Both the packers and union officials yesterday agreed to moot Jam^fl J. Davis, secretary of labor, who offer? ed his services as mediator in the hope of averting a strike. Tonight representatives of both Fides said that there was little prospect of an agreement at the proposed confer ence. Union leaders pointed out that the packers in agreeing to send two rep? resentatives to Washington had said that "we assume that the justice and necessity of wage cuts will not be at Issue. Nor can there justly be an issue on the matter of hours." According to representatives of the men, this left nothing to be dis? cussed.
