FUTURE OF GERMANY. VIEWS ON THE NEAR EAST QUESTION. (By Cable— Press Amoelitiorv—Copjrlfiri.) (Australian and N.Z. Cable Association.) NEW YORK, July 3. A New York newspaper prints an interview with the ex-Kaiser, secured by Baron von Radowitz, who Bpent eevoral days at Doom. He quotes Wilhelm as declaring:— "Tho monarchy will return to Germany after some years, but I shall not come back. Not only economically and industrially, but politically j Germany will some day bo as great as before. Then wo shall prove to the world that we were not responsible for the war, and alfio that I was not responsible." Wilhelm praised Hcrr Ebert (President of the Republic), stating that he was a capable man, and the right man for the place, granting that the place continued to exist. While he respected Dr. Rathenau's ability, ho considered him a danger to Germany, because he was a Jew. Wilhelm has developed a strong hostility to Jews. He is bitterly opposed to tho Rusflian-German Rapallo treaty. Wilhelm said ho did not want to see Austria united with Gormany. ' Discussing the Oriental question, he said he believed the Young Turks would unite with the' Egyptian Nationalists in forming the nucleus of a Moelem bloc. It would be a great pity if Great Britain,gave up tho protectorate over Egypt. ..Great Britain had done an enormous .amount, of good to the Egyptians, who were quite unfit to administer their'own country. Wflholm said he was convinced that there would soon be a great uprising in India. Baron von Radowitz declares that the ex-Kaiser's crippled arm is worse.
