This intimationthatt the British owed their
success in the South African war to the
personal military genius OF the German en-
peror was not quite as soothing in its eff
feet on the British public as the kaiser
had expected. England went blind with

suit OF his action in Great Britain, France

completely surprised by the storm of an

said before in all the history of
the German people. One speaker said
that the crowned head Of the German
government must conduct himself as the
first servant Of the state, preserving his
august irresponsibility only by acting and
speaking In public matters solely through
and by ministers directly responsible to
the selected representatives Of the peo-
pie. Thus was the kaiser himself respon-
sible for injecting into German politics
the issue of ministerial responsibility
which now convulses the country. An
other speaker said that the people de-
manded trustworthy guarantees against
the Intervention of the personal regime in
public matters. and that il was necessary
that the kaiser impose upon himself the
reserve proper to a constitutional ruler
And then the imperial chancellor arose
and solemnly declared that in the future
his majesty, the kaiser, must impose upon
himself. even in private conversation,

policy

him by his cabinet. II was a bitter day

BERLIN, August 19.-William II, King
Of Prussia and German emperor. Is no
ordinary monarch. He is extraordinary,
not only by virtue Of his own versatile
mind. but also because of the great politi-
cal power which he possesses and exer-
cises in both domestic and foreign al
fairs OF the German empire. Although
limited by constitutional restraints in his
kingdom of Prussia, and although merely
a constitutional president and not a SOW
ereign in his empire, William III, never
theless, exercises a greater personal pow
err than any other living monarch. He is
enabled to do this not because he Is in
vested with autocratic or despotic pow
er, but because he leads his people rather
than drives them, and because he adds
to the incident of his kingship the force
Of his statecraft. His people do not obey
him because they must, but because they
will to do so.
But William does not, or at least he did
not until a few months ago, admit these
things. He always has been the most no.
table living defender of the dead doctrine
of the divine right of kings. He has
ignored his constitutional restraints
whenever possible He has fretted and
fumed under the leash of parliamentary
restrictions, and never has he admitted
by word or deed the justice or right of
the doctrine that the people should par
ticipate in government. He has tolerated
constitutionalism and democracy in so
far as it has been impossible for him to
practice intolerance. and no more.

Strong Believer
in Divine Right.


ling declaration of the doctrine OF di-
vine right seems almost impossible in
this modern age when the spirit OF
democracy is sweeping forward in tri-
umph in every quarter of the globe. Yet
it Is at one with many of the German
emperor's statements. At different times
and under varying circumstances he has
repeated this doctrine, often in the face
OF an apparent victory Of democratic par
lfamentarians. He has said: The soldier
and the army. not parliamentary MAORI
ties and resolutions. have welded to-
gether the German empire" "Suprema
lex regis voluntas. Only one is mas
poses me / shall crush to pieces" "All of
you shall have only one will, and that is
my will: there is only one law. and that
is my law" parliamentary opposition
OF Prussian nobility to their king is a
monstrosity.' For me every social
democrat is an enemy Of the nation and
OF the fatherland." "On to the battle, for
religion. morality and order. and against
the parties of subversion. Forward with

This man believes with the faith OF a
fanatic that he is indeed and in truth the
specially selected agent of Providence to
unite the German people into a world en-
pire which will be able TO conquer all the
human race for Teutonic civilization,
which, In his mind, means the civilizat ion
which God intends for the salvation of
mankind. This belief that he is under the
special protection of Divine Providence IS
the same thing that, in one fashion or
another, has possessed the souls of i'm

 Jericho. 1910. THE Jordanl How shall l make you
 see it as it winds its way through A this great gash in the thirsty face of old Mother Earth? All day long have been travelling upon its banks in this, the lower part of it's course. l have visited the ford where Joshua crossed with his army of Jews when he took possession of Canaan. have stood on the spot where 1t Is said that Jesus was baptized of John, and have gone over the place where the waters were parted by the cloak of Elijah. Here at Jericho I am within a short gallop of the Dead sea, into which the Jordan flows, and sitting on the steps of my hotel l can see Mount Nebo, where Moses stood when he viewed the promised land. which he was not to enter In former travels I have seen the Jordan, near the Sea of Gall lee, and have been not far from it's source in the Lebanon mountains.
 In the Cellar of the Earth
 This Jordan valley is the cellar of the world. It Is a great trench, which begins 100 or more feet above the sea in the Lebanon mountains, and within a distance of 160 miles as the crow flies cuts it's way down to 1900 feet below sea level where 1t ends in the Dead sea-. The bottom of that sea is a half mile be- low the surface of the Mediterranean, and in Jericho, where I am writing, we are almost 4000 feet be. DIV the highest point in Jerusalem. There is no other part of the earth uncovered by water

slope from one to the other is almost 12 feet to the mile, or over 600 feet. Con- meeting them is this great trough of the Jordan, from one to 16 miles wide. Through 1t the sacred river runs. It winds about like a coekscrew, making so many turnings that it covers a course more than 200 miles in it's 50 miles distance. It goes with great force, has 27 cascades, and there are numerous falls where elec- tric plants might be put in. The land on each side might be turned to rich farms if 1t could only have water, and it may be that the good fairy of cleo tricity will some time bring the dead earth to life.
 The Vcgitation
 As to the vegetation, there are some farms in the upper part of It's course, and the sultan has a sugar plantation half way between Galilee and the Dead sea, where he works soldiers as laborers There are small fields of grain, including millet, wheat and barley here and there, and I am told that rice and indigo can be grown.
 Down near the Dead sea there is consid- erable cultivation pn the Jericho plain. The land Is irrigated by a stream from the mountains of Judea and by the spring of Elisha. It is cut up into small patches. which are covered with orange groves, almond orchards and vineyards. Much of the fruit goes up to Jerusalem. There are also fields of egg plants. tomatoes and melons, and dates could undoubtedly be grown. All the way from here to old Jericho, distance of three or more miles. are orchards, vineyards and gar- dens. They are fenced with thorn bushes,
