THE EX-KAISER.
( REASON FOR FLIGHT. EXPLAINED BY HINDENBUBfc Received March 20, 6.5 p.in. Amsterdam, March 20. Marshal von Hindenburg, replying to General Ludendorff and other» critics, says lie was responsible for the Kaiser's flight to Holland, and states that Princs Max published the abdication without the Kaiser's consent. The Army was thea becoming exhausted, and the outbreak of the revolution jeopardised the troops' food supplies, and created doubts of their reliability. It was impossible for th» Kaiser to return to the Fatherland. He could have sought death leading his army in a last attack, but would have caused needless sacrifices of lives. After a great mental struggle the Kaiser accepted his advice to go to Holland, hoping to save Germany from further losses, and enabling order to be restored. It was not the Kaiser's fault that this hope was falsified.—Aus. and N.Z. Cable Assoc.
