ATAN ABDICATES THRONE
Of HELL IN KAISER’S FAVOR
HEAD OF AMERICA’S WAR COMMISSION
“My Dear Wilhelm:
“I can call you by that familiar
name for I have always been very
close to you, much closer than you
could ever now.
"From the time'that you were yet
an undeveloped being In your mother’s
womb, I have shaped your destiny for
wy own purpose.
—‘In the days of Rome I created a
ughneck known in history as Nero
e was a vulgar character and suited
y purpose at that particular time,
a’these modern days a classic demon
an I Efficient'soper-criminal was need-
ed, and as I know the Hohenzollern
Mood, I picked you as my special in-
str u m ent to place on earth an annex to
hell.. I gave you abnormal ambition,
likewise, an oversupply of egotism
that you might not discover your own
failings. I twisted your mind to that
of'a mad man with certain normal ten-
dencies to carry you by, a most dan-
. gerous character placed in power; I
gave you the power of a hypnotist and
a certain magnetic force that you
might sway your people. I an respon-

embitters your life and des-
troys all noble impulses that might
erwise cause me anxiety, but your
ing sword arm is driven by your
bition that squelches all sentiment
I pity; I placed in your soul a deep
red fer all things English, for of all
ions 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;
ander her rule wild tribes became
tillers of the soil and in due time prac­
tical citizens; she is the great civilizer
of the globe and I hate her. I planted
In your soul a cruel hatred for your
mother because she was English and
left my good friend Bismarck to fan
the flame I had kindled. Recent his­
tory proves how well our work was
done. It broke your royal mother's
heart, but I gained my purposes.
“The inherited disease of the Ho-
henzollerns killed your father, just as
it will kill you, and you became the
ruler of Germany and a tool of mine
sooner than I expected.
“To assist you and further hasten
my work I sent you three evil spirits,
| Nietzche, Treitschke and later Bern-
hardi, whose teachings inflamed tbe
youths of Germany, who in good time
would be willing and loyal subjects
and eager to spill their blood and pull
your chestnuts, yours and mine; the
spell has been perfect—you cast your
ambitious eyes toward the Mediterra-
nean, Egypt, India and the Dardanelles
and you began your great railway to
Bagdad, but the ambitious archduke
and his more ambitious wife stood in
the way. It was there that I sowed
the seed in your heart that blossomed
into the assassination of the duke and
his wife, and all hell smiled when it
saw how cleverly you saddled the
crime on to Servia. I saw you set sail
for the fjords of Norway and I know
you would prove an alibi. How clev­
erly done, so much like your noble
grandfather,
wbo also secured an
assassin to remove old King Frederick
of Denmark, and later robbed that
country of two provinces that gave
Germany an opportunity to become a
I naval power. Murder is dirty work,
hut it takes a Hohenzollern to make a
way and get by.
