GERMAN PEOPLE NOW, THINK THEIR SIDE RIGHT Were Misled as to Cause of War, and Are Still Misled — Believed (’oalition A g ai n s t < icrmany. Brussels, February 19. —Max- imilian Harden, editor of Die Zukunft, of Berdin, in an inter view in Le Soil- ,of Brussels, de clares that the German people were misled as to the cause of the war. They believed at the outbreak that Germany was in th" right and even believe now that right was on their side. Fmperor William, Harden de clared, was drawn into the war against his own wishes, but once hostilities began it was he who kept alive national hatred and was responsible for the methods of warfare for which the world would never forgive Geniany. Gcinans Did Not Know. “Our people,” said Harden, “did not know and do not now know. They loyally believed that right was on their side. If they had not ,they would not have fought and suffered as they did. They believed in a coalition against Germany. They did not understand that Great Britain, France and Rus sia had no other object than to protect themselves against the adverse designs of the kaiser. ‘‘They did not understand tha the violation of Belgium was a crime which turned the enlight ened universe against Griuanv. They are stlli certain that if Germany had not invaded Bel gium, Great Britain and France were ready to do so. Personally, 1 do not think France ever thought of such a thing, and if she had Great Britain would not have permit ted it. ‘‘But it was an old idea of the kaiser's. In one of his out bursts he once said to Leopold 11., “If then* is war 1 shall go through Belgium.

LIVER DIDN’T ACT DIGESTION WAS BAD Sayt 65 tear Old Kentucky Lady, Who Tells How She Was Relieved After a Few Doses of Black-Draught Meadorsvllls, Ky.—Mrs. Cynthia Higginbotham, of this town, says: “At my age, which Is 65, the liver does not act so well as when young. A few years ago, my stomach was all out of fix. I was constipated, my liver didn't act My digestion was bad, and it took so little to upset me. My ap petite was gone. I wsb very weak... I decided I would give Black- Draught a thorough trial as I knew It was highly recommended for this trouble. I began taking it I felt better after a few doses. My appetite Improved and I became stronger. My Dowels acted naturally and the least (rouble was soon lighted with a few sists, Belgium will not exist any longer.” “It is the thirty years of reign of William 11. which car ried responsibility for the war. It is the teaching which has poisoned youth. It is the spirit of militarism that has been soaked into t hi* people. Kaiser Not Even Courageous. “Kaiser Wilhelm was drawn into it himself, perhaps against his own sentiments. He was not warlike; he was not even courageous, and I know that he did struggle to compier his per sonal feelings before he could he brought to sign the mobiliza tion decree. “But once war was declared it was he who kept active the national hatred. It was he who used methods of war for which the world will never pardon him. Believe me, it causes me terrible pain to have to admit this.” When the interviewer pointed out to Harden that no protests against Germany's methods ev er were raised in Germany, Harden declared that even now not only the actors in the trag edy hesitate to admit Ger many's guilt, but that persons who have lost a brother or hus band in the war desire to cling to the belief that they have suf fered their share of bereave ment in a good cause; they think it would take away from the dignity of their grief if they recognize that the cause for which their country fought was criminal.
