d To Wilhelm Won Hohenzollern, King
Of Prussia. Emperor of all Ger
many and Envoy Extraordinary OF
4 Almighty God:
My Dear Wilhelm
Il can call you by that familiar
name for l have always been very
close to you. much closer than you
could ever know.
From the time that you were yet
/ an undeveloped being in your moth
er's womb l have shaped your des-
( tiny for my own purpose.
In the days of Rome I created 4
roughneck known in history as Nero
I He was vulgar character and suited
my purpose at that particular tim :.
In these modern days a classic de-
mon and efficient uper-criminal was
/ lern blood, picked you as my special
instrument to place on earth an an
mex of hell. l gave you abnormal
am bition, likewise an oversupply On
egotism that you might not discover
your own failings; / twisted your
mind to that of a mad man with cer-
tain normal tendencies to carry you
by, a most dangerous character plac-
ed in power; l gave you the power of
a hypnotist and a certain magnetic
force that you might sway your peo-
pie. l am responsible for the deform-
ed arm that hangs helpless on your
left, for your crippled condition em-
bitters your life and destroys all no.
BILE impulses that might otherwise
cause me anxiety, but your strong
sword arm is driven by your ambi-
ton that squelches all sentiment and
pity; l placed in your soul a deep
hatred for all things English,
for of all nations on earth l hate
England most; wherever England
plants her flag she brings order out
of chaos and the hated Cross follows
the Union Jack; under her rule wild
tribes become tillers of the soil and
in due time practical citizens she is
the great civilizer of the globe and
cruel hatred for your mother be-
cause SHE was English and left my
good friend Bismarck to fan the
flame 1 had kindled. Recent history
proves how well our work was done.
1t broke your royal mothers heart,
but 1 gained my purposes
The inherited disease of the Ho-
henzollerns killed your father, just
as it will kill you, and you became
the ruler of Germany and a tool of
mine sooner than L expected.
ITO assist you and further hasten
my work 1 sent you three evil spirits,
Nietzsche Treitschke and later Bern
hardi, whose teachings inflamed the
youths of Germany, who in good time
would be willing and loyal subjects
and eager to spill their blood and
pull your chestnuts. yours and mine;
the spell has been perfect-Xou cast
your ambitius eyes toward the Med
iterranean, Egypt. India and the Oar
danelles and you began your great
railway to Bagdad, but the ambitious
archduke and his more ambitious
wife stood in your way. 1t was then
that | sowed the seed in your heart
that blossomed into the assassination
of the duke and his wife, and all hell
smiled when it saw how cleverly you
saddled the crime on to Servia. ]
saw you set sails for the fjords of
Norway and l knew YOU would prove
an alibi. How cleverly done, so muco
like your noble grandfather. who al
so secured an assassin to remove old
King Frederick of Denmark. and lat
er robbed that country of two prov
inces that gave Germany an opportu-
nifty to become naval power. MUIR
