Max Calls the Emperor a Film Hero
With Vulgar Cinema.
London, Oct. 28.—"We started the
war with a dirty trick, and all our sub-
sequent victories were the result of
it," says Maximilian Harden, editor of
Die Zukunft, in an interview with the
Berlinske Tidende's Berlin correspond-
ent.
Excerpts from the interview
which is by far the most fearless and
scathing attack Germany's firebrand
journalist has ever dared to utter,
were cabled to the Daily Express by
its Copenhagen correspondent.
"Wilhelm II," Harden is quoted as
saying, "has been a film hero, with
Germany the vulgar cinema showing
him to the world
"I have always feared the man who,
thirty years ago, said: 'I shall lead you
towards splendid days.' We sit today
upon the ruins of thirty years of Ho-
henzollern politics."
