THE EX-KAISER

A BITTER INTERVIEW. : United Press Association.—By Electrio Telegraph.—Copyright.) (Received this dnv at 1.30 p.m.) LONDON, October 16. There is abundant evidence that the ex-Kaiser is not repentant and still holds violent anti-English views. In an article Brigadier Waters describing his visit to the ex-Kaiser published in the “Quarterly Review,” says he (Waters) was invited to Doom as part of an attempt to counter what the Kaiser describes as vile intrigues of British statesmen.

Discussing the alleged hunger blockade of Germany, the Kaicer said: “England will have to answer to Heaven for that atroritv.”

While referring to reparations, he said bitterly: If justice fs done ad thoes milliards of marks should be repaid.

The letter of invitation rereived by Waters to visit Doom began: “An ocean of abuse, vilification, infamy, slander and lies rolled over me, coming from London Tliev disclosed a spirit of debased venemons hatred, unexpected from a country wbo c e national sorrows T shared. My whole life was filled with the hope of establishing a better understanding between Britain and Germany which might lead to an agreement or alliance, hut all my quiet labour was utterly destroyed, and instead of an ally, T became an arch fiend, the Hun Attilla.”
