SATAN FINDS HIS IDEAL IN
WILLIAM HOHENzO[[ERN

When Louis Syberkrop of Creston,
Iowa, wrote the satire on Kaiser Will
helm which follows, he little thought
it would attract the attention which
it has. Requests for copies have come
to him from Theodore Roosevelt, Sec
retary of the Navy Daniels, Secretary
to the President, Tumulty, and other
notabIes. The article is in the form
of a letter from His Satanic Majesty
to his human prototype. 1t says:
To Wilhelm Won Hohenzollern, King
of Prussia, Emperor of all Ger
many and Envoy Extraordinary of
Almighty God.
My Dear Wilhelm: call you by
that familiar name, for 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 have l shaped your des-
tiny for my purpose.
In the days of Rome I created Il
roughneck known in history as Nero.
He was vulgar character and suited
my purpose at that particular time.
In these modern days classic demon
and efficient super-criminal was need
ed, and as | knew the Hohenzollern
blood l picked you as my special in
strument to place on earth an annex
of hell. gave you abnormal ambi-
tion, likewise an oversupply of ego
tism that you might not discover your
own failings; twisted your mind to
that of a madman with certain normal
tendencies to carry you by, a most
dangerous character placed in power;
gave you the power of a hypnotist
and certain magnetic force that you
might sway your people. am respon-
helpless on your left, for your Grip
pied condition embitters your life and
destroys all noble impulses that might
otherwise cause me anxiety, but your
strong sword arm is driven by your
ambition that squelches all sentiment
and pity; placed in your soul deep
hatred of 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 be-
come tillers of the soil, and in due
time practical citizens; she is the
greatest civilzer of the globe and I
HATE HER. planted in your soul
cruel hatred of your mother because
SHE was English. and left my good
friend Bismarck to fan the flame l
had kindled Recent history proves
how we'll our work was done 1t broke
your royal mothers heart, but l gained
my purpose.
The inherited disease of the Hohen-
zollerns killed your father, just as it
will kill you, and you became the ruler
of Germany and tool of mine sooner
than expected.
To assist you and further hasten
my work, sent you three evil spirits
-Nietzche, Treschke 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 chesnuts, yours and mine; >the
spell has been perfect-yon cast your
ambitious eyes toward the Mediter-
ranean, Egypt, India and the Dardan-
elles and you began your great rail-
way to Bagdad, but the ambitious
archduke and his more ambitious wife
stood in your way. 1t was then that
/ sowed the seed in your head 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 Serbia. l saw
you set sail for the fjords OF Nor
way, and knew you would prove an
alibi. How cleyerly 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 prov
inces that gave Germany an opportun-
ity to become naval power Murder
