William IL. has been described as the

is more remarkable than the way in
which he has attempted to combine
American up-to-dateness in material
things With medieval symbolism In his

has been vitlated by preconceived ideas

was by no means the only occasion upon
which william II. attempted To make

that ON such an occasion the Emperor
would avoid controversial topics, but h'
again had his own axe to grind. After
