NEW WAR PIGTURE 10 BE PRESENTED ING.W. U. COURSE Students to Be - Taught Kaiser Probably Tried to Avert Hostilities. STORIES OF ATROCITIES BLAMED ON PROPAGANDA Historians Now Pin Guilt on Count Berchtold, Austrian Foreign Minister. BY THOMAS R. HENRY. The Kaiser, instead of war, probably did his feeble best to prevent it. The Lusitania, there is good reason to belleve. ‘was an armed vessel carry- w. war supplies, and Germany had good evidence of it. The Serblan government was aware for months of the plot to assassinate the Archduke Francis Ferdinand of Austria, and, if it did not actually en- courage it, did nothing to prevent it. The stories of German atrocities, even some of the milder ones, had no foundation, but in most cases were the deliberate inventions of propaganda agencies. ‘These are some of the conclusions, still s0 contrary to the beliefs of the great majority of Americans nursed on the current conceptions of the er while it was in progress, that will be taught as facts at George Washington University next semester. New Course to Be Given. A new course on the history of Eu- rope since 1914 will be added to the curriculum of the history department and will be taught by Asst, Prof. Lowell J. Ragatz. In the light of the latest revealations, said Prof. Ragatz, “books written about the war before 1927 are obsolete.” ‘This almost. comglsu change of front of the war, wl'! Dr. Ragatz explained, gov- ernments have refrained from their official archives unf lflfl‘l'l!, letting the world befleve ‘what it would so long as the principal were still alive. The end of the course will consist,” he said, | g “altogether of facts brought to light have done no , {and Alexander Callam. the blame to the shoulders of Count Berchtold, Austrian foreign minister. Wilhelm's great m!.lvke was in allow- ing Berchtold carte”blanche with the offer of Germany's backing, but he had no ides that the Austrian would send Serbia the kind of ultimatum he did or that his carelessness would bring |, sbout a great war. Kalser Practically Helpless. ‘When Berchtold had “double-crossed” the Kaiser, George Washington students will be taught, the latter was practically helpless in the grip of circumstances, but there is evidence that he tried to prevent the actual war. The oft- Tepeated story of the Potsdam confer- ence of Wilhelm and German induurhl leaders, in which the latter were tioned about their readiness for Dr. Ragatz said, appears to have been a complete fabrication, for which Am- bassador Morganthau has admitted that he was partially responsible through a misinterpretation. ‘While Count Berchtold must take most_of the obloquy now attached to German Emperor, the new history will picture as the real villain of the! early days of the war a picluusque but ' crack-brained Serbian idealist and murderer, Col. Di tin Dlmltrl- Jjevitch, an officer of the secret service and the same man who staged the palace revolution in 1903 which over- threw the old ruling family and placed the ruling family under obligations to him. The memoirs of : Ljuba Jovanowitch, minister of educa- tion in the Pashitch cabinet, Dr. Ragatz pointed out, show that members of the cabinet were aware of Dimitri- jevitch’s plots against the archduke and could have put a stop to them. As for the German atrocities, Prof. lgian ulations with cruelty, or boiled down the l:odlu of their dead for tal- | Eu stories were just part of the’ mhmm of war, to excite the hatred of one people against another.

Speaking at the twenty-third anni- versary banquet of the Washington Chamber of Commerce in the May- flower Hotel, the Senator charac plley dwellings here as a “disgrace to the fair name and to the social vision of our people,” and said the number of men and women in the District who are unable to secure work has reached alarming proportions.

Resolutions were adopted commending Cuno H. Rudolph, the re- president, for his welfare work activities. Corcoran Thom was selected as vice president, John B. Larner as treasurer, Herbert A.

Four persons were chosen to serve on the board until the next annual elec~ appeal for & better un between members of the various locll e oo e, D e erby, professor of soc! of - “In view,” he declared, “of the impressive force and effective- ness of all thinkers, teachers, l-y. re- ligious and civic leaders who are clally minded and who endeavor u they may to interpret the claims of de- feated soclal classes upon our civiliza- the term social worker should hardly be confined to those who serve the .poor personally.

Soclally- minded thinkers, teachers and workers are the interpreters of each world to the nt.her. “It thoughtful and mtemmrtn larger ndnl life, the work of these interpreters would be in- dced discouraging. We would have to interpret to the poor a state that fails lamentably to secure for them effective justice; a of organized industry which insures no income or insufficient income or income at excessive sacriffce to them; a culture which is sharp to hear the music of life and deaf to the cry of its agony; a property system that leaves 50 many of “them without prop- erty, without the hope of it.

They look out upon life from the standpoint of their defeat and the distressing feelings that thelr defeat engenders. Mr. Ufford spoke of the marked in- crease in the work of the soclety during its first year under the Community Chest, when the number of families in- creased 1,791 given care and serv- ice in 1928 to 2,391 in 1929 a lump of almost 33%; per cent. In these 2,391 families were 10,190 individuals, of whom 5620 were children under 16 years of age. This number of children is said to be at least one-twenty-fifth of all the children in Washington. The speaker told of the source from which nppllmtlnm were received. About half the families came personally to make their needs known, while the re- mainder were referred either by indi- viduals or by other social agencies. Showing the status of some of the fam- ilies, he said 451 were those of widows and 340 of deserted wives. Unemployment Is Problem. Unemployment was one of the most serious problems met with, appearing as a factor with one or more members of nearly half the families given service, As an ald in meeting this problem, the Vislmrn reported 350 individuals found temporary employment and 253 employ- ment that should be more or less per- manent. The biggest handicap, how- ever, was illness, which affected 1 of the 2,391 families. “Bad housing under insanitary condi- tions continues to be a serious matter in the District of Columbia with Associated Charities families,” the speaker said. ‘Three hundred and forty-four _such families were so reported as luflerln’ from insanitary living conditions and these 242 were removed to better quar- thborhcods and in 94 in- ousing conditions were im- ters or nel stances bad proved. “The Associated Charities is handi- capped for lack of a trained dietitian or visiting housekeeper on its staff, This is because of lack of funds. The dem- onstration made by All Souls’ Unitarian Church some years ago through the Aamhzed Charities convinced the so- of the need and value of such a pra lessional worker, but unfortunately the budget of the society since that time has not been sufficient to continue the position. Notwithstanding the vis- itors’ report, 79 homes benefited by training through their own efforts or that of volunteers. Family Desertion Is Troublesome. As shown by figures cited above, fam- 1ly desertion continued to be one of the most serious domestic problems with which the Associated Charities is called to deal.
