Rathenates Statement on War
NOW Made Public
Coward'ice of the former Kaiser and
his ministers caused the war was Dr.
Tatter Rathe0au's opinion expressed
a year ago in an interview with W.
W. liawkins, president of the United
PTOSS, in the office of the then 'Min:-
ister-of Reconstruction in Wilhelm-
st,cassta, in Berlin. Dr. Rathanan in-
sisted that 'he should not be quoted
to this effect during, his life. Notes of
the interview were made by Mr. _Haw-
kins and are now made public with his
permission.
"The Kaiser rattled his- ssverd until
is frightened himself and all of his
miriistors eut of their 'normal jadg.
ment," .declared Rai:ileum', ile 311000s
eel across the Willielmstrasse.and said;
"Von Hellweg mid his

hoping and praying the Czar
would succumb to the turns of the

royalist activity in Germany.
"I wish I'could make this statement

OBLIGED TO GIVE UP
MT. EVEREST ASCENT
Condition of Climbing Parties
• Renders Further Progress
Irnpos.sible.
A. despatch from, London .says: --
Mount Everes.t has agaill baffled the
host efforts of man.
The Calcutta correspondent of the:
Daily Telegraph confirms previous re-
ports that Brigeritiet-"General C. G.
Brace, head of the present expedition.,
has been forced to the .conclusion that
persistence in the effort to scale the
peak would only result in 'useless
tragedy.
General Bruce was most reluctant
to abandon further attempt's, hut' the
• condition in which. 'the two last climb-
ing parties returned, the. advice .of
his, medical officers atud the certainty
'of worse weather conditions daily,
forced him to a decision, says the
writer,
Major H. T. Morshead was the
worst sufferer frorn frost bites. 0. L.
Mallory and another inember of the
party also were badly bittea end sev-
eral others less severely.
. The correspondent citrates "one of
Go greatest authorities on the Him-
alayas" as saying that B111,00'2 nglf+r--
ious failure" has proved: conclusively
that the summit is alanost unattairi-
_able.. The anthoritative view in India
is that if an expedition startetl earlier
in the sea.son it rnight be barely pos-
sible to reach within a thousanl feet
of .the top, but that the last lap could
only be covered 'by almost supethurnan
effort, under unprecedently favorable
'weather conditions, ond by men who
faced the certainty that they woukl
never return.
We can never say of any test in life
that it is the greatest.
