Facts Not Important. ‘ 1 was hopeful that young Wilhelm, after forty- months in simple Wieringen, would have acquired a serious - outlook on life, counteracting an erroneous popular conception of him as a malicious blockhead. The book of this forty-year-old man pain- fully disappoints this hope. Written with the help of a skillful’ literary man, it discloses no new, important facts. It glorifies the military mon- archy almost without censure. It represents all Hohenzollerns mod- els of moral and intellectual virtue, and repeats all that Ludendorff, Hin- denburg and company have said about the conspiracy against Ger- many. It tries to awaken in the reader the thought that no human be- ing ever experienced such ingratitude this hard-working crown prince, who foresaw everything in war and peace, lived only for his people and his soldiers, and now is obliged to This is what nk, honest rep- live in misery. henzollern calls a * resentation of fact: a saint, his father noble in the high- est sense of the word, brothers brave and _intelligent, army commanders wonderful strategists and heroes.

NEW YORK, May 13.—Application for a judicial settlement of the estate of KElizabeth Gordon Pelton, former wife of the late Dan R. Hanna, Cleve- land newspaper publisher, was made to the surrogate court by the Central National Bank and Trust Company o Cleveland, Ohio, as executor and trus- tee of the estate, the value of which is put at $859,733. The petition was made because of the recent death.of Mr. Hanna, who was general guardian of Elizabeth Gordoh Hanna, daugh- ter of Mrs. Pelton Hanna. According to the petition, Mrs. Pel- ton, who died in 1919, had $10,000 in cash and $30,000 on deposit in a Cleve- land bank.

The political contents are a mere repetition of what already has been sald a thousand times in’ Germany's defense and are not worth contradict- ing. Ministers are scolded in the tones of a general, yet they were eppointed by the “noble kaiser” and during the gai the military dictatorship. They are blamed because peace was mnotcon- cluded at the right time, before the great disaster, as If peacea would have been acceptable to Ludendorft or to a nation taught to belleve certain victory always was obtainable. The fault always is put on others, and his own blunders nowhere are recog- nized. He even holds ministers and generals responsible for the Hight to Holland of the kalser and war lord by divine right. By his own confes- sion the all-highest war lord, who had sent millions of Germans to the firing line, fled because he might be in danger for the first time. In much less danger, of course, than any Tear trench soldier, who would have been shot as a deserter if he had tried to flee. The .physically courageous crown prince has 8o little moral courage that he follows his father's bad example, fleeing ‘over the Dutch frontier by night and stopping ‘to call an old militlaman a “miserable devll,” and to swear at him because he complained that his officers were well fed while he himself was starv- ing. The prince relates this proudly, not realizing the incongruity of the deserter who had not suffered @ moment from the war, but dared to preach to the old half-starved war- rior whe, though complaining, least- ways was doing his duty tending cattle.

He also 'boasts of giving Wi father information out the oconduct of Prince Eulenburg and other friends of the kaiser. /This information was taken from my articles which pointed nal and the duct.

BY ANDRE TARDIEU, Former French High Commissioner to America. By Cable to The Star. PARIS, May, 13.—Europe needs a clarifier for the horde of problems that are arising simultaneously. When will he arrive? : Today that is the vital question af- fecting every nation. 1 wish that I could talk about something beside Genoa, but the conference continues with the attention of the world fixed on the Ligurian coast. Since my last dispatch the only de- velopment has been_the- receipt of the Ruseian reply, w has not got us anywhere. Howev it now is clear that the goviet expected recognition and much money as the result of par- ticipation, 1f certain powers were, and are, disposed to 'grant the former, everybody rejects the latter. There is not a single government in Europe which could raise a state loan to fur- nish them. Add to this the stubborn- ness of Tchitcherin about guaranteeing private property, and you ®learly per- ceive how the situation has become complicated. Exceeded at Genoa. It must be confessed that the prob- lem of Russia's economic reconstruction has been singularly exceeded at Genoa in the various debates and intrigues which have been indulged in. This largely is due o Lloyd George's ner- vous, flighty behavior. You know how strongly 1 feel that the peace of the world depends on complete harmony between France and England. Lloyd George's attitude makes this hard to achieve. He permits neither Sugges- tigns nor contradictions. He has com- mitted himself to a formula’ of Euro- pean reconstruction which makes ducks and drakes of treaties and existing rights and threatens the astounding paradox of English co-operation with Germany and Russia apart from former’ allies if, indeed, not against them. Other methods must be adopted if the friendships sincerely and pro- foundly rooted in the hearts of the two nations are to be preserved. France had a diflicult position at Gemoa and thg hesitation of her rep- resentatives thade it all the harder. On the question of Russian properties especially it is deplorable that our country merely backed up Belglum after several days of hesitancy in- stead of taking & positive position at the very outset. This enabled an Ttalian paper to print a clever jibe, “France: Capital, Brussels.” It ‘was only a joke, but it contained much truth. Expeeted Positive Attitude. I have not visited the United States in over three years, but I feel sure that America expected a more positive attitude on the part of France. Amer- icans like action, but the French olicy for twenty-eight months has been chiefly negaiive. We've protest- ed againsi revising treaties at our expense, but we have finished by vielding. V' complained, but havn't acted. We've made sacrifices, but have not obtained compensating advantage To wme it seems that people everywhere are tired of our lamentations and would welcome some positive action, whatever it was. But at Genoa, as elsewhere, positive action is lacking Joyd 4ieorge has a vague plan for what he calls the reconstruction of AR O, MAY 14, 1992 PART 1 e L S e B Tongue Shot Away, Veteran Now Speaks With One of Rubber By the Associated Press.

FINES AND CONFISCATION CHARGED BY AMERICANS Berlin Hears Complaints From Border of Injustices Under Reg- ulations for Foreign Trade. By the Associuted Press. BERLIN, May 12.—Numerous com- plaints are being heard In Berlin of American citizens suffering confisca- tion at the frontler of goods pur- chased in Germany, besides heavy fines for alleged violation of the proclamation issued by the federal minister of economy, in October, 1921. Under the heading of regulations for the control of foreign trade, the proclamation prohibits the exporta- tion of articles even for y use by travelers without permission of the federal commissioner of export and import licenses, or other competent authority. Reports received here indicate that this proclamation is being vigorously enforced. One American is reported to have been fined $25 for attempt- ing to take out of the country a pair of opera glasses costing 1,520 marks, even though he was not aware that he was attempting to violate the regulations. From another traveler the border customs authorities took & pair of suede gloves and a bag, which he could not recover. He was told that ignorance of the law was no excuse. It is understood that various cases have been investigated without redress to the complainants. Even when export permits are granted, it is said, 50 per cent or more of the cost of the goods is assessed in most cases. Travelers 0 are required to register the amount of money they have upon entering Germany, as those leaving the country are permitted to take out only 20,000 marks, or the equivalent. —_— Mrs. E. J.

(Bpecial Wireless Dispatch to The Star.) LONDON, May 13.—England is sick of the warmongers. She desires— only consistent with honor and in- terest—to make provision for avoid- ance of future wars. We want world peace preserved and the wheels of industry set in motion. That was the object for calling the conference of Genoa. In pursuing those objects Premier Lloyd George has the back- ing of the British people. This con- ference, now in progress, possibly may be the last means of securing these desires by concerted means. The apparent friction between Lloyd George and the French dele- gates, backed by Poincare, has had a bad effect on public opinion here. In Great Britain the entente spirit al- ready had been shaken by the shocks of the Angora treaty and the French | attitude regarding disarmament pecially at Washington. We alway: are mindful of the past sufferings and losses of France and we are con- scious of the importance of Anglo- French solidarity. But we desire to| make the latter a nucleus of Bu- ropean unity, whereas the present rulers of France seem disposed to wark rather for military dominance in _chaotic Europe. g omy. of his body.
