Emperor Williams Investigations in connection
with the press revealed that in his own dominions
the majority OF the writer's wrote rather as a.
means OF livelihood than expression OF their
personal convictions. He found that some OF the
leading men the Conservative organs were i'm
bued with socialism, while aristocrats and mon
arohists engaged socialist newspapers.
He found that the men who wrote on foreign af-
fairs and about Germanys international relations
with such air Of authority had in many In
stances never been out Of Germany. were unable
even to read foreign newspapers and were there
fore in no sense qualified 20 pass Judgment upon
such matters. much less TO discuss them for the
benefit OF the newspaper readers. He found an
analogous condition OF affairs Ill along the lne
and was rendered indignant by the idea that men
so little qualified 20 teach should presume TO in-
struct. disseminating among millions stories based
on ignorance and prejudice.
Emperor William does not complain that news
paper men lack culture. but what he does complain
IS that they write cathedra about matters con-
cerning which they inadequately Informed.
This is what led him to make those remarks the
other day TO CASTOR Meaier and his friends at
Bergen which have attracted such widespread at
tention throughout the civilized world.

doing so much harm, discussing this question and
that cathedra, and with apparent authority,

to make II his business TO ascertain tust who the
individuals who wrote these articles. anxious

KAISER KNOWS THEM.
Emperor Has the Records of All
Orr Leading Newspaper Men.

Emperor William, In the latter part OF 1898 IN 1922
and 1870 caused a most searching investigation 70 be
made into the ownership and edltorship OF all the
important newspapers in Germany and also abroad
He not content with obtaining information con-
cerning the intellectual capacity the attainments
the financial status and the private life OF these
men, and about the influences by which they
swayed, but sought similar data concerning the
writer's OF all the articles brought his attention
in the Teuton and foreign press. All kinds OF de-
vices employed 20 obtain these particulars.

tervention. that is TO say, through officers OF the
reserve, who though engaged in civil pursuits are
nevertheless still subject military obedience and

There few people engaged IN the newspaper
profession. whether as owners, as editors.
managers who. thanks TO this elaborate investiga-
tion, carried through number OF years, since
the end of 1885, possess extraordinary range
OF Information concerning newspaper men as the
Kaiser, and II will doubtless astonsh many journa-
lists IN this country. particularly those who have
had occasion 70 write about him and about his
empire to know that William II has filed away IN
his splendid system Of card indexes all kinds OF
data concerning them, even 10 the size Of their
families and OF their incomes.
HOW THE INFORMATION WAS OBTAINED
Incredible this story may appear at first sight
It becomes less so when reflect upon the arnaz-
ing system Of information OF the intelligence de-
partment OF the Ministry of War and headquarters
staff at Berlin, which has no equal In the world
save that of Japan, Striking evidence OF this

1870 when divisional. brigade and regimental COM

not merely of the local government but also of the
leading inhabitants, stating exactly how much they
could be relied upon TO furnish In the way Of sup
plies. ETC.. upon requisition All these particulars
had been carefully accumulated beforehand with
