AUTO SEKViCK ESCHEWS GJtflMit LEAVE YOUR ORDER FOR THE NEW FORD WITH FISCHER SATAN WRITES TO THE KAISER A Satire q ; wry Louis Syberkrop of Iowa has acquired much fame in recent weeks as author of a satire on Kaiser Wilhelm. Requests have come to him from Tumulty, Secre tary Daniels and Roosevelt, and people in every state of the Union and in Canada have asked for copies of Mr. Syberkrop's article. It is: 'Ottumwa, Iowa. The Infernal Region. June 234917. To Wilhelm Von llohenzcllern, King of Prussia, Emperor of all Germany and Envoy Extraor dinary of Almighty God: ' My Dear Wilhelm1 I can call you by that familiar name for I have always been very close to you, much closer than you could ever know. From the time that you were pet an undeveloped being in your mother's womb I have shaped your destiny for my own purpose. In the days of Rome I created a roughneck known in history aa Nero. He was a vulgar character and suited my purpose at that par tieular time. In these modern days a classic demon and efficient super criminal was needed, and as I know the llohenzollern blood, I picked you as my special instru- ' inent to piace on earth an annex of hell. I gave you ebnormal am bition, likewise an over supply of egotism that yyu might not discov ar your own failings; I twistoi your mind to that ot a madman with certain normal tendencies to carry you by, a most dangerous character placed in power; I gave you the power of a hypnotist and a certain magnetic force that you might sway your people, I am responsible for the deformed arm that hangs helpless on your left, for your crippled condition embit ters your life and destroys all noble impulses that might other wise cause me anxiety, but your strong sword arm ia driven by your ambition that squelches all sentiment and pity; 1 placed in your soul a deep hatred tor all things English, for of nil nationn on earth I hate England most; wherever England plants her flag she brings order out of chaos and the hated Cross follows the Union Jack; under her rulo wild tribes become tillerB of thq soil and in due time practical citizens; Bhe is the great civilizer of the globe and I HATE HER. I planted in your soul a cruel hatred for your moth er because SHE was English and left my good friend Bismarck to fan the flame I had kindled. Re cent hiBtory proves how well our work was done. It broke your royal mother's heart, but I gained my purpose. The inherited disease of the Ilohenzollerna killed your father, just as it will kill you and you be came the ruler of Germany and n. tool of mine sooner than I expected To assist you and further hasten' my work 1 sent you three evil spirits, Nietzcbe, Ti'ielschke and later Dernhardi, whoso teachings inflamed the youths of Germany, (concluded on last page) AUTO ACCESSORIES Complete line of Tubes and Casings
