Maximilian Felix Harden, journalist and politician, was born at Berlin in 1861. His real name was Isidor Witkowski. He became known as a satirical writer under the name of Apostata, and was the support of Bismarck and Caprivi. In October, 1892, he founded the weekly paper “Die Zukunft” (The Future), in which in 1907, he launched a campaign against Prince Philip Zu Eulenburg, friend of the Kaiser, General ICuno Moltke, and Wilhelm von Hohenkau, which led to their disappearance from the Imperial circle. He was several times prosecuted for lese majesty, and his paper was repeatedly suppressed during the Great War, for defending the policy of the Entente. He was the author of several books, of which two, “Word Portraits,” and “Monarchs and Men,” appeared in English. In 1922 he was set upon in a Berlin street one night and badly injured by two assailants. He was picked up unconscious, with five wounds in his head.
