Is the Kaiser Insanor

I \ the current number Of the North American
Revlew there occurs an excellent analysis
OF Emperor Williams mental condition
Many articles have heen written on the
kaiser's pecularitcs of character but few
summaries OF the subject can compare with
the present article, which is from the pen
Of Il physician
The writer is not nnduly prejudiced in his
estimate of the evidence; he speaks moder-
ately. And what are his conclusions? That
the Emperor is the victim OF a mild case of
insanity. lie finds his proof in the Kasers
excessive vanity mcgalomania religious
exatation and eternal restlcssness AS an
instance of his incredible vanity and belief
in his own powers the writer mentions
wretched daub executed by the Emperor and
presented by him to one of the most cele-
DRAFTED OF German painters as an exhibition
piece. Besides the array of evidence regard
ing the Kaiser himself, an account is given
OF the Hohenzollern family history which
shows many marked alterations
Many people have believed that the head
OF the German nation is mad. and that he
hogan the war in spell Of insanity The
subsequent course OF the German government
confirms this theory in most striking man
ner. Above all other things, the sinking of
the Lusitania suggests madness pure and
simple
If II be true that the Emperor is insane the
fact illustrates the incurable weakness of
Inc monarchical form OF government The
president OF republic may be mediocre but
he is nearly always sound-minded The
King of liberal monarchy is restrained bv
the Constitution. But government like
Germanys is at the mercy Of the head and If
he happens to he unatic, the welfare of
the whole world is threatened What Ger
many needs is commission OF lunacv on tho
Kaiser.
