Berne, Switzerland. .Tunc 20.
AKOT'T thirty minutes' tide by rail
. fiom the Swiss capital lies the
Uttl village of GucmllRen. Just a few
scattered houses amid pleasant,
wooded hills, with a low, pray chateau
hidden in a high-walled park. In this
aristocratic countiy mansion, fnr re
moved from the madding rumors of
war, dwells perhaps the most inter
esting flsure nmonc the German po
lltlral exiles now in Switzerland, Hcrr
Wllholm Muehlon, the ex-director of
the Krupp worls at Essen, whose
revelations flxlni? the-olc-rcsoonslbll-ity.
for the outbreak of the world-con-fincratlon
on the Kaiser and his minis
ters recently caused alrriost as great
a sensttlon as Prince Ilchnowskv's
damning evidence against the Berlin
Government.
It Is Indeed a paradox most painfully
felt by the rulers of Germany that one
of the bitterest and most convincing
accusations ever formulated against
their criminal war policy should come
from a man who for many years be
longed to the board of directors at
Krupp's, that vast commercial incar
nation of the Teuton's lust for blood
and domination, whose operations were
ever shrouded In the deepest mystery
and Jealously hidden from foreign eyes
lest they detect the secret preparations
for the enormous crlmo Germany was
planning to commit against the liber.
ties of the world.
Infuriates Kaiser
I have been told by well-informed
Germans here, and I am altogether in
clined to believe them, that Herr
Muehlon's sensational defection" has
roused the Kaiser to a greater pitch
of fury even than Prince Lichnow
sky's revelations, and that the German
Government fears the former Krupp
director In Switzerland more than the
ex-ambassador to the Court of St.
fames, whom it has at least In its
power In Germany. The German le
gatton at Berne recently sent Herr
Muehlon. who is still of military age,
a peremptory order to report at Loer
rach, the German frontier statloi, ajid
1oln the colors, but he refused to obey
this somewhat naive command, know
ing that "preventive Imprisonment"
was In store for him the Instant he
crossed the border. He has remained
quietly in the handsome old chateau
he purchased upon first coming to
free Switzerland, for. unlike other fug.
Itives from the Kaiser's tyranny, he
managed to bring tlio greater part of
his considerable fortune with him and
can face future developments with the
tranquil assurance of a millionaire.
' The old chateau breathed an atmos
phere of rural repose and almost
egoistic Isolation from the tragedy of
our times when I rang at the gate,
and yet. at that very moment, the des
tinies of the world were once more in
suspense on the battlefields of France,
and I found Its owner fairly bowed
down with the fateful burden of the
hour.
No Tarlies In Germany
"You And me In a state of deep de
pression," said tills extraordinary man,
who sacrificed the powerful friendship
of Krupp-Von Bohlen to his political
Ideals and resigned from the greatest
war corporation In Prussia to .combat
Prussian militarism. "I can tell you
nothing about the political situation
In Germany. There Is no political sit
uation In Germany so long as this
offensive lasts.. The entire German
people, is once more hypnotized, as it
wag in 19H. by brutal dreams of con
quest and Unancial gain. The Kaiser's
words have come true: There are no
parties In Germany today. From 10

PROBE IS COMMENCED
Matter Will Be Turned Over
to Baker and President
Wilson
Wholesale neglect on the part of Dl
trlct Appeal Board No. 2 to certify and
report the cases of deserters was
charged today by Federal and State
draft ofllclnls conducting a probe In this
city.
It' was nnnounccd this afternoon that
the hoard had Just furnished the ad
jutant general's olllce with the names of
211 men that should hae been reported
last ear.
The announcement was made by Lieu
tenant Colonel JameS S. Easby-Smith.
tho reprcsentathc of Provost Marshal
General Crowder, and MaJCT W. O Mur
dock, disbursing otllcer for the State.
Both of these ofTlcials immediately
visited the headquarters of the district
board and began a thorough lncstlga
tlon of each case.
They will make recommendations re
garding the boaut to General Crowder
without delay, and tho matter, with
other chaiges against the district board,
will be presented to Secretary of War
Baker and President Wilson for of
ficial action It is Intimated the bard
will be suspended.
It was through asserted slipshod
methods that the Federal authorities
weie compelled several dajs ago to droo
charges of desertion against Grover
Cleveland Beigdoll and charges against
his mother, Mrs Kinma C. Bergdoll, of
"aiding it deserter," because the for
mer had not been properly certified by
District Hoard No. 2, and was merely
a delinquent .and not a technical de
heiter Clerical Error Excuse
At the time the Bergdoll case was dis
covered. Bronte II Greenwood, chief
clerk of the district board, said that It
was due to a clerical error. The re
port of deserters frc-n Local Board 32,
Cnerbrook, which included Bergdoll, he
asserted, had been mislaid In a filing
cabinet. The icpoit contalnedthe names
of fotiy-two ellgiblcs.
When questioned later. Greenwood
stated that an examination of desertion
cases had -been made and the lists fiom
ofjier local boards had been properly
cared ror. vTlio draft officials, however,
stated this afternoon that the long de
layed list contained tho names of men
from boards scattered In many pnrts of
the city, many of them being reported
separately, j. . .
District Board No. 2, of ..which. Wal
ter Wlllard Is chad man, has been un
der fire for weeks.
Major Murdock this afternoon le
questcd Colonel Smith for a lullng as
to what action may be taken to rate the
delinquents not reported by the dls
trlct board In their proper classifica
tion as deseiteis. The latter stated
that the matter rested enthely on con
ditions disclosed by the records of tho
boaid.
The failure of the district to report
tho 214 cases opens the aenue of es
cape from serious charges under the
old regulations. Tho Identity of the
nlcn on tho delayed deserters' list, other
than that of Bergdoll, has not been re
vealed. Dergdnll, aulo racer and aviator, may
be classed as a deserter from the Na

Press Prepares Minds of

TO BREAK ALLIED WILL
By MAJ. GEN. MAURICE
Former Director nf Military Operations of
British Armv
Special Cable to Evening Public Ledger
Copvriohtt i918t by Xewl'ork Times Co.
London, July 13.
. For some time past the military ex
perts of the Geiman press have been
busy soothing the anxieties of their
readers as to the delay in the renewal
of the offensive. As Is usually the
case, the views expressed are In gen
eral agieement and show signs of In
spiration from above. It Is admitted
that the struggle has been a severe
one, but the French and British troops
are stubborn fighters, even that the
American aid is now a faitor In tho
situation and that consequently the
process of establishing complete su
periority over the enemy must be slow
and gradual.
But a new note Is now being struck
for tho first time. All the German
writers on the earlier battles of this
year's campaign were in agreement
that Hlndenburg'a object was the de
struction of the forces opposed to him
and not the capture of any particular
town, even of Calais or of Paris. These
were to follow as the natural fruits
of victory.
There could be llttlt. doubt that
this is true, for tho German objective
in the battle which started on March
21 was undoubtedly the separation 'of
the Brjtish from tiie French armies,
so that the former might be dilven
back against the coast and annihi
lated, while the latter was held off
along the Somme.- When this result
was not' obtained, It was, announced
that the teal German aim was the
exhaustion of Foch's reserves s a
preliminary to the decisive defeat of
the Allied armies. This was held to
account for the attacks on the Ar
mentleres front which began on April
9 and tho Crown Prince's advance to
the Marne last month.
After these battles the German peo
ple were assured that Foch's reserves
had been completely used up and were

The rate of transportation of troops

The most Important developments of

"Open Air" for Economic Ex

By
the Associated Press
Copenhagen, July 13.
Denial that Germany Intended to
retain Belgium was made by Count
von Hertllng, the German Imperial
Chancellor, in the course of his
speech before the Reichstag main com
mittee on Thursday.
The present possession of Belgium
only means that we have a pawn for
future negotiations," the Chancellor
said. "We have no Intention to keep
Belgium In any form whatever."
What wo precisely want, as ex
pressed by us on February 24," the
Chancellor continued, "Is that after
the war Belgium shall, as a self-dependent
State, not be subject to any
body as a vassal, and shall live with
us In good friendly relations."
"I have held this point of view from
tho beginning In regard to Belgium
and I still hold it today. This side
of my policy is fully in conformity
with the general lines, the direction
of which I yesterday Clearly laid be
foro you.
"We are waging the war as a war
of defense, as we have ..one from the
very beginning, and every Imperial
istic tendency nnd every tendency to
world domination has been remote
from our minds.
"What we want Is the Inviolability
of our territory, open air for the ex
pansion of our people in the economic
domain and, naturally, also security in
regard to tho future. This is com
pletely in conformity with my point
of view in regard to Belgium, but how
this point of view can be established
in detail depends upon futuro negotia
tions, and on this point I am unable
to give binding declarations."
- Amsterdam.iJuly 13.
At Thursday's session of the Reichs
tag Mnin Committee in Berlin, the
Progressives, tho deputies of the center
part and the Socialists criticized a con
tract which had been entered Into
between the Gov crnment and the West
Mark Land Company, which intends
to purchase estates in Alsace-Lorraine
and settle them with persons "who
aro leliablo from a natlonnl stand
point," Mathlas Erzburger, the Center party
leader, who dcclaied that neither of
the Alsace-Lorraine legislative cham
bers favored tho contract, said his
party would vote against it.
London, July 13.
Contractions of policy among Get
man officials seemingly has another
illustration in the manner of the pub
lication of the statement made by
Count von Hertllng, the German Im
perial Chancellor, regarding Belgium.
Tho German wireless service-yesterday
gave out a long report of Chancel
lor von Heitling's speech, which ig
nored all reference to Belgium. It
gave a full report of tho Chancellor's
discussion of Russia, and continued:
"In connection with tills point, the
Imperial Chancellor passed in review
the political situation in the west."
The natural inference seems to be
that whatever officials Issued the wire
less version they did not want Count
von Hertling's statements regarding
the west circulated. Theie was much
curiosity here regarding this part of
his speech, which was omitted.
Text of Speech
Doctor von Heitling's speech, as
given out by the Germans, omitting
the reference to Belgium, follows:

In the last six months there have

there have been many reports that'
he has been in poor health.
Illness Suppressed t -
A dispatch received in London Frk
day from The Hague quoted a Dutch
traveler from Germany as declaring'
that a report that the Field Marshal
was ill and unable to participate ia
the work at army headquarters had
spread all over Germany. GermaS
newspapers were not permitted to
mention the rumor. The traveler
added that General Ludendorff, Quar- M
lermaster General, had taken ovni- tj
the Fi'Id Marshal's duties as ehieP 'tl
of the general staff.
Keeping step with reports of the
Field Marshal's health have been
dispatches from Germany indicating
that the Field Marshal and the Em
peror had had disagreements con
cerning the German offensive move-
ment in the west.
Late in May of this yean Voti
Hindenburg was reported ill with
typhoid fever at Strassburg. Von
Hindenburg later, on June 18, was re
ported by the Iribune of Geneva to
be suffering from an acute nervoiis
disease. The newspaper declared it
had learned from a reliable source
that his mental capacity was much
affected and that ho was confined ia, '
a private sanitarium. It added that
the Field Marshal had taken no re
sponsible part in the offensive tp-'
the western front. J $
