THE Personal INFLUENCE OF THE
KAISER.

But after ALL it is the personal influence of
the Kaiser which is most potent. His forceful
personality simply compels attention. For years
after his accession millions of Germans stood
aIoof ignoring his Kaleidoscope activity, and
firmly believing that after he had soWn his
wild oats and after the novelty of the situation
into which he had been summoned so uneXpect-
edly had off he would cease his pyrO-
technic interference in every phase of public
life But these Would-be ''indifferentS' were
forced to abandon their attitude. When after
one of his speeches, often Ill advised fiamboy-
ant and overshoOtiEg the mark, but always
striking and earnest, the press of the whole
world would be ringing with comment. and at
every German freside heated discussions pro
and con would take place, these sober minded
Germans while still condemning his methods,
found it impossible to stand supinely aside
The Kaiser on every weighty problem that ca me
to the surface for solution would split the ma
ton into two hostile camps, stimulating discus
sion and keeping both adherents and opponents
of his at fever heat. 1t is this sensational
side of his personal influence probably
than any other. which has been, and is still
being felt most strongly. Into every political
campaign in Germany he has thrown firebrandS
in the shape OF notices, pithy and apt sayings,
sarcastic alIusions, ironical retorts to his ad
yersaries. Every weapon of warfare has been
successfully employed by him.
When the Kaiser disapproved of the violent
Agrarian agitation in 1894, he coined the phrase,
You cannot expect me to sanction bread uSury."
And the phrase flew like wildfire all Ger
many. When he dedicated the important Baltic
North Sea Canal he said. Oceans unite: they

ADMIRAL SIMPSONS SERENITY.

However differing otherwise in details, all
agreed in the conclusion that upon him RESPONSE
blity sat easily: that anxiety did not overrun
the due bounds Of reaSona bic, though watch
fu, precaution; that he could rest with quiet
mind in the certainty that all had been done
which reason could prescribe, untrOubled by
fears of improbable, though not Impossible,
eventualities. To this is closely allied the very
essential power to take necessary risk for ade-
quate ends, thing almost impossible to a man
upon whom responsibility weighs unduly. This
was finely, though uncOnsciouSly, illustrated IN
