the author says:
Wilhelm H. has acted a. he speaks.
With his advent a new wave Of intolerance
spread in Prussia. Had he lived in the
Middle Ages he would have unclaimed a
new religious war in his own fatheriand

progressive energies Of the people He
would have burned Ibssn's plays. Mo-
| Wilhelm II. has come too late into the

Hgenstein also says that among al the
Hohenzollerns there has been no king
who 80 isolated himself frnm the thoughts
and aspirations Of his generation. He
does not know our leaders. our artists or
our poets. the writer declares. He does
not want TO know them. Those who do
not slavishly serve the sovereign and
worship the Kaiser's particular gods do
not exist for our ruler. who in all questions
of art and religion - not a child Of his
time. but always its enemy
The author affirms that the Kaiser
reads only productions of rhyming decoTa-
