GROCER PENALIZED
FOR VIOLATION OF
FOOD REGULATIONS
X. F. Zimmerman, groceryman of
j Ketchikan, for violating regulations 1
I of the food administration in selling ;
ten sacks of flour without first ap- ]
plying for and obtaining a permit ,
from the local administrator at that
place, was made to close his place
of business during the month of.
July. A large sign reading: “Closed ;
for Violation of Federal Food Regu
lations” was placed upon his door j
by the administrator.
This is the first case of a direct
penalty being imposed upon a dealer
in the territory for violation of the
rules and regulations. It will not j
be the last, however, where viola-1
tions are willfully made.

KAISER EXILES !
! NOTED GERMAN
| OPPOSING WAR!
i GUMLIGEX, Switzerland—One jf
the most interesting characters in
Switzerland today is Dr. YYilhalm
Muehlon, whose recent revelations
of German political and diplomatic
■ secrets of the days before the war
—at a time when he was in confi
dential touch with the high councils j
of the Imperial German government
—led to official surveillance over |
his movements and finally to his ex-1
j pulsion from his native land.
His disclosures, which have creat
| ed sensations in the Entente capitals
^ave been regarded in many quart-;
| ers as faithful interpretations of
| events which contributed to the j
j outbreak of the war and as con-'
' elusive proof that the German em-1
peror’s machinations were respona
! ible for the world conflict. They
| led to a German government state- j
!ment in the Reichstag that he was!
not pathologically responsible, and!
today he lives the life of a retired
farmer on the outskirts of a small
Swiss village. Once he was a di-:
: rector of the great Krupp war es- j
i tablishment—a position he took at
the request of the German Foreign
office—and a conspicuous figure in i
civil and official circles.
A man of forty-five years, tall 1
and broad-shouldered, with yellow j
Saxon hair and a small mustache, j
Dr. Muehlon, challenger of the Ger- j
man emperor’s own version that he
endeavored to maintain peace, from
time to time addresses his com-pat- j
riots across the border with vigor- j
ous and independent views which
he declares, a great many Germans
share secretly. His personal ap
pearance shows none of the nervous i
agitation which the German author:-1
ties have sought to attribute to him.
He declares he has never had to
consult a doctor; physically and
mentally he seems a man of iron, j
Dr. Muehlon was asked how he
could be an opponent to militarism j
and war, particularly the present I
struggle, aiji at the same time be!
a director of Krupps, the greatest j
war machine in the world.
“That appears to the inconsist-1
ent ” he said, “but the explanation j
is simple. 1 have always been op-1
posed to war, and even to large com
binations like Krupps, as my inclin-1
ations were toward the welfare and j
equality of the people and the ad- j
justment of differences by reason I
instead of by force- But it was
felt desirable to have on the Krupp!
directorate various shades of opin-1
ion, even though not in strict accord- i
ance with the war activities of the ;
establishment, so that all views:
could be expressed and something!
like common agreement obtained on ;
the many vexing problems presented, i
To that end I came into the organ
ization, at first in a subordinate!
position and later in the directorate. I
It was stipulated, however, that my !
activities should be mainly devoted
to the branch not engaged in war
work, for Krupps has two branches!
of about equal size, one devoted to i
' war work and the other to work
unconnected with war. Insensibly, i
however, my work in one branch!
drew me into the other, as my ex
perience in international affairs led
; to my being consulted on war ar
rangements having any international
; bearing, such as the armament of
j Turkey.”
I Dr. Muehlon went on to tell of
I his growing dislike to the war work
j and his final determination to give
I up all association with it even at the
; sacrifice of one of the most import
j ant business careers in Germany.
! Dr. Muehlon has brought with him
. a large fund of material bearing |
i on the causes leading up to the war.
Much of it is documentary, with
letters from persons and organiza
tions in high position. This may
| reach the public in due time, and
j become a part, of the historical data
i bearing on the responsibility for
bringing on the war. For the pres
ent, however, Dr. Meuhlon said he
is avoiding further controversial
questions which would be likely to
arise if this mass of data was made
public at once. The only departure' <
he has made from his policy is in j
assembling a pamphlet of day-byday j
notes made at the outset of the war j
giving his personal impressions on j
various phases of the war. This!
is not in the line of disclosures or j
revelations, but rather of vigorous j
personal criticism of Germaij offi- .
cial and military methods, he said.! ^
One of his references to German j j
conditions is as fo'lows:
“The general feeling of the people '
since the outbreak of the war is j
that Gt)man diplomacy has failed <
everywhere. Many assert that it has
been due to a day to day policy J
of opportunism without farreaching 1
plans. My opinion is that it could j
not have done better with the con- 1
trolling and continual interferent t j
exercised by the kaiser. Only lie
who bowed to every wish of the J
kaiser could retain his place, and a.l ]
wanted to stay. There are few poo- j
pie in Germany with convictions tc !
strong that they will give up . i ;is
tracies and offices in order to up
hold their convictions. They all ask:
‘How shall I do to get on and totain
favor?’ not ‘Does it correspond with
my judgment.’ ”
Dr. Muehlon takes a gloomy view
of what would become of Europe
if Germany secured the ascendcnce.
“With Germany sovereign o/ev Gu
rope ” he says, “there would he a
general scattering and flight of Eu
ropean races and population to get
away from German rule. The re-1
motest corners of Europe would be-1
come asylums of refuge. An im
mense shifting of life’s forces would
occur. And with Germany para
mount in Europe there would be
a real migration to the overseas
cou>tries.”
