Ills wile (tied in 114 ami lie lout his eldest "on In thp war. He Is survived by a daugh ter! Countess Zech. wife of the sec retary of the Prussian legation at Munich, and a sun, Kelix, a student at Horlin. On the last of his frequent visits to Berlin in mid-November, Dr. von Bethmann-Hollweg was seen walk- ing in I liter Do t.inden, but the once stalwart figure was no longer upright; few pedestrians recognized In the stooped figure and care-worn face the former Imperial chancellor. Von Bethmann-Hollweg recently concluded the revision of the linal proofs of the second volume of his war diary, which 1h announved lin early publication. Among the latest prominent activi ties of Dr. von Bethmann-Hollweg in International affairs and Gorman na tional life.' Was his testimony last year as a witnefti before national assembly committees investigating responsibili ty" for the war. His testimony braught submarine warfare and had issued out that he had orlginallv opposed the warnings not to under-eatlmate Americas strength In the conflict. One of his most famous utterances during the war was that containing "a scrap oi paper" as ne regarded the treaty guaranteeing the neutrality of Belgium. This treaty was so characterized bv von Bethmann-Hollweg during an in terview Which the-hen chancellor had with Sir Edward Qoschen. tho British ambassador' to Oermany. . Bpeaklng with great' irritation the chancellor expressed his ability to understand Great Britain' attitude with regard to Germany'-at,, ick on Belgium, i Sir Edward's Interview. ., "I found the chancellor very much agitated," said Sir Edward afterwards writing of the Interview. "His excel lency at once began a harangue which lasted about SO minutes. He said the step taken by his majesty's govern ment was terrible to a. degree. Just for a word neutrality' - a word which ln war-time, has 'so often been disregarded Just for 'a scrap of paper - Great Britain . was goinsr to make war on a kindred nation which desired nothing more than to be friends with her." Sir Edward replied in effect that he understood the chancellor's inabil ity to comprehend the British action, I i but that Great Britain attached im- porUnce t0 tha Mrlp 0f paper' be- cause it bore her signature, as well as that of Germany. Dr. von Bethmann-Hollweg was the originator of the famous reference to the treaty guaranteeing the neutrality of Belgium as a "scrap of paper." The reference was made In a state ment before the reichstag 4n August, 1914, whom he gave the German view point of what causes led to the war. He frankly admitted In this, same speech -that Germany's action lit in vading Belgium had been morally and legally wrong. He justified It only on- -the grounds of ''military . necessity. "Our troops have occupied Luxem bourg and perhaps nave also found- It necessary to enter Belgian territory he said on August 4, 1914. "That is contrary to- international law, we know, ; however, that France was ready r to invade Belgium.

' When a provisional battalion was sent to Mingo, martial law was declared here and several other towns and villages. In the mean time miners ejected from company houses organized tent colonies, and hundre'ds of families are livmg in canvas homes in Mingo. This situation raised a question of sanitation. In the clashes in Mingo the names Hatfield and McCoy, have figured, prominently. In thn Matewan fight Chief of Police Hatfield took part and later was -indicted for murder. His trisl Is pending. In the week follow-! ing a McCoy on a lonely mountain i road was badly wounded by an un identified. assailant. I These fights have caused old sett lors to hark bark to tho day when tho Hatfield clan, under the leader- lup of " Devil Ansn Hatfield, swore : what was known as the "Black Oath." ! The story Is told that SO members of j tho clan, kneeling around a ramp fire in the hills of Mingo county. ; pledged themselves to the absolute : destruction of the McCoy family.
