THE EX-KAISER'S FLIGHT
VON HINDENBURG ACCEPTS RESPONSIBILITY.-
Amsterdam, March 2U. Von Hindenburg, replying to von Ludendoiif and other critics, states that he was responsible for the Kaiser's flight to Holland. Ho etates that Prince Mas of Baden published the abdication without the Kaiser's consent. The Army was theii becoming exhausted, and the'outbreak of tho revolution jeopardised the food supplies of the troops and created doubts as to thoir reliability. It uaa impossible for the Kaiser to return to tho Fatherland. He could have sought death leading the Army in a last attack, but this would haTe caused a needless sacrifico of lives. After a great mental struggle the Kaiser accepted tho advics to go to Holland, hoping to save Germany further losses and to enable order to be restored. It was not the Kaiser's fault that this hope was falsified.—Aus,N.Z. Cable Assn.
