 I was amazed when 1 saw you form a partnership with the impossible turk, the chronic ruler of the Christians, and you a devout worshipper in the Lutheran church. 1 confess, Wilhelm, you are a puzzle at times. A Mohammedan army commanded by German off cers assisted one another in massacreing Christians is a new line of warfare. When a Prus- sian officer can witness a nude woman being disemboweled by a swarthy Turk, committing a double murder with one stroke of his saber, and calmly stand by and see a house full of in- nocent Armenians locked up, the house saturated with oil and fired, then my teachings did not stop with you but have extended to the whole German nation. 1 confess, my Satanic soul grew sick and then and there l knew the pupil had be- come the master. 1 am a back number, and my Dear Wilhelm 1 abdicate in your favor.

 .K A MOTHERS LOVE g
{. 49 ' 43 Y 4a ' 4a <. ' W

The most beautiful thing in life is a mothers love. It begins with stitches on a tiny garment and 1t outlasts the grave. The love that the mother bears for her son follows him through babyhood, school days, young manhood and fatherhood, through all his successes and defeats. In honor or disgrace, it utterly owns him. A stain can never attach itself to him; for always it is he who is wronged by the world. To his mother he can confidently turn on any occasion under any circum- stances. In her he finds always the safe tender parent who sought dawning light in his baby face and the secret of his greatness has lain hidden in her heart as she pondered over it's promise. The realization of her dream cannot fail, for she sees it's fruition beyond the end of life itself.
 The mother has the power of vision. She can see in shapeless bit of life an unend- ing success to great manhood. She has also the strength of faith that is unshakeable. It approaches the divine. If heaven may be found at all on earth it is in the heart of moth CT. There is no life a woman will not live no death she will not die for her children. In all the complex relationships of life she nobly bears her part. Mans life may be diverse and all absorbing and difficult, but it is as nothing to the expert ence of the mother who has borne and laid away and lived all that life has to offer.

"The Internal Regions

June 28, 1917 To Wilhelm Von Hohenzollern,
 King of Prussia, Emperor of
 Germany, and Envoy Extra
 ordinary of Almighty God. Dear Wilhelm:
 I can call you that familiar name for I 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 mothers womb l have shaped your destiny for my own purpose.
 In the days of Rome l creat- ed a roughneck known as Nero He was vulgar person and suited my purpose at that time. In these modern days a classic demon and super-criminal was needed and as I know the Ho- henzollern block I picked you as my special instrument to place on earth an annex of Hell. I gave you abnormal ann bition, likewise an oversupply of egotism, that you might not discover your failings; 1 twist ed your mind to that of a mad

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 ches- nuts and mine; the spell has been perfect you cast your ambitious eyes toward the Mediterranean, Egypt, India and i.he Dardanelles and you began your great railway to Bagdad but the ambitious Ar chduke and his more ambitious wife stood in your way. It was then that 1 sowed the seed in your heart that blossomed into the assassination of the Duke and his wife, and all hell smil- ed when it saw how cleverly you handled the crime onto Servia. I saw you set sail for the fjords of Norway and 1 knew you would prove an alibi. How cleverly done, so much like your noble grandfather, who also secured an assassin to remove old King Frederick of Denmark, and later robbed that country of two provinces that gave Germany an oppor- tunity to become a naval pow CT. Murder is dirty work, but it takes a Hohenzollen to make away and get by.
 Your opportunity was at hand: you set the world afire and the bells of hell were ring ing; your rape on Belgium caused much joy, it was the beginning-the foundation of a perfect hell on earth, the de- struction of noble cathedrals and other infinite works of art were hailed with joy in the in fernal regions.
