(A, P. Special Cable.) London, June 7.—Germany's inabil- ity to meet the financial demands of the peace term:s, and the inability of the Allies to make her pay, are insist- ed upon by Dr. Bernhard Dernberg, the German Minister of Finance, in an interview telegraphed by the Daily Mail's Berlin correspondent. Dr. Dernburg reiterates his recent declara- tion that Germany will not sign the terms as presented, and continues: "As a matter of fact, neither the En- tente nor Germany is capable of sign- ing this peace. Germany cannot Pay, ana the Entente cannot make Ger- many pay.

You must make tellies which will enable you to get your rep- arations reasonably soon. You do not suppose that our children are go- ing to remain slaves because their parents lost the war." Dr. Dernberg, elsewhere in the in- terview, speaks derisively of President Wilson. "I thought he came over here as a new sort of redeemer, in the role of a saviour of mankind," the Finance Min- icter is quoted as saying, "but I have not found in the peace treaty one word of his peace or conciliation and good will."

C., as cabin boy, Campbell was asked to recite what happened on board the bark latutko on the morning of August 6, 1918, as the little vessel elipped through the waves with all sails set, for Capetown, South Africa. "I came on deck at 3. a. rn. to stand watcli," Campbell began. "Jack Joe, Henry Riley and Axel Haneeh were In the same watch and were already on deck, 'The eaptain'e Rote who was in charge, told laansen to go aloft and loose the royal'sl.

ADMISSIONS In the Work ,Fix the Guilt in Many Cases On Germany. London, June 6.—Former German Chancellor Bethmann Holleveg, who. for six months, has been living quiet- ly in his country bouse near Berlin. has spent his -leisure rn writing his memoir, which are now finished and will consist of two volumes of 500 pages each, according to a Milan des- patch by A. Beaumont to the Daily Telegraph. The first of the volumes has already been printed, and has reached friends in Lugano probably in advance of knowledge of its contents in Berlin. It Is curious that the former Chancellor's first idea has been to forward advance copes of the book to members of the Gioleti party in Italy, The •Stampa of Turin publishes extracts from the vol- ume. Naturally the work is in the nature of an apologia pro dorno suo. It is expected the first volume will be issued to the public in about a fort- night. Evidently the former Chancellor im- agines that he is having signal proof that the Entente cordiale between Eng- land and France tended toward no- thing else than the annihiliation of Germany, and -that such proof is fur- nished, at the very time of the pub- lication of his book, in the peace terms Germany is expected to sign. From the extracts. published the book appears to be a sorry composi- tion. While it tends to exonerate the author, it furnishes solemn proff that Germany's foreign policy, in his term of office, was not known to the man who was supposed to be its preemin- ent representative. Bethnaann Hollweg repeats old state- ments with his usual lack of sincerity and of conviction. iTe d.wells on his alleged firm conviction of a deliber- ate plan by France and England to encircle Germany; with the view to her destruction. As to the Austrian ultimatum, he repeats that he knew of it only in a general way before it was published, and says that when it ap- peared he was astonished at his rigor. Once the die was cast his hands were tied. He declared that if he had al- lowed Russia to attack Austria that course would have Meant the destruc- tion of Austria, which Germany could not permit by the terms of the al- liance. Therefore, he was obliged to give his ungaalified support to Aus- tria. Gen. Falitenhayen, the 'Minister of War, was personally opposed to the Austrian ultimatum, but Gen. von Moltke, chief of state insisted that it be maintained. Moltke, on his Own responsibility, ordered the invasion of Belgium, the hook says, although the Chancellor himself was opposed to that move. This is an instance. by the Chancellor's own statement. which makes evident that the real foreign policy of Germany Was net con- ducted by the Chancellor, but by the military leaders who worked behind his back, and always imposed their will upon him at critical Moments. The former Chancellor tries once more to make out that the Kehler -was not iii connivance with this underhand Policy. Now thalGermany has last her cause, no tests, judgment (should be pronounc- ed against those wtio were guilty of the war, but he refuseto accept the tri- bunal censtituted by the enemies of Germany. In hie view, sueh a trehunal should be composed of representa- tives from neutral states. 1.3ut from hie own book, the Daily Telegraphs dor- reepondent sake, Bethmann Hollweg would be condemned by any court, for he was the reeponsible Chaneellor of the German Empire, and the book by implication admite: First—That Germany gave a free hand to Auetria agalnet Serbia, wale full knowledge that the act would ere - ate a general European eonflict.

The Hungarians point out that the Czechs refused to give the Slovaks autonomy and also have not treated them as brothers. They add that for 1,000 years the Slovaks and Hungarians lived together and should continue to do so. Patriotism is at a white heat in Prague, according' to reports from the Czech capital. The pride of the Czechs, it is reported, has been hurt, by the defeats of the Czech Legion- aries, who have been regarded, estio. daily hy the women, as the world's greateet soldiers..
