Read What the Kaiser Said

From childhood | have bean under
the influence OF five men, Alexander.
Julius Cesar, Theodore Second, Fred
erick the Great. Napoleon. Each OF
these men dreamed a dream of. world
empire-they failed. / am dreaming a
dream of the German World Empire
and my mailed first shall succeed"
Those words, written by the German
Kaiser and printed by him in pamph-
let many years ago, show what he has
been planning all these years. He eN-
peeted to make the whole world bow to
him. He expected to make Russia,
France, England and the United States
mere provinces of Germany. Me plan
ned to place his ruthless. fiendish Prus-
sian generals in charge at Petrograd.
Paris, London and Washington and do
there what they've done in Belgium.
And the worst Of II is that The Kais-
er has almost succeeded. There is still
a chance that he may succeed. He mas
planted his sncaking, sinking spies in
every country of the glove. He has then.
everywhere in these United States
not only men of German blood but rep
tilian hirelings of other nationalities
bastard sneaks Of lowest type who
bomb munitson plants, encourage Slack
ers, stir up dissensions amongst tho
workers OF our most important indus
tries and use what influence they can
TO keep n few weak-kneed Americans
from buying Liberty Bonds.
Even some of the prominent men
who make our laws have proved then-
selves the willing, Shiny tools Of Prus-
sian interests; have encouraged sedi-
tion, blocked the efforts of loyal pat
riots and thus have stabbed our sol
diers in the back, and helped to make
this war last that much longer, with
all its bloodshed, all its terrcrs, all it's
agony.
With such conditions confronting us
the duty Of every real American is
made exceedingly plain. No man of
honor con have moments doubt as ~
the course that be should follow. Ev-
cry real American, no matter what
country he may have been born In and
no matter where he IS on the farm, IN
store, in an office. in a shop. in mill
or factory, is against the Kaiser AMI
for the Stars and Stripes forever!
