a LETTER FROM SATAN
(From the Delta, Colo, Indepen-
dent)

(frOm the Delta, Colo, lndepen-
dent)
This little satire written by
Louis Syberkrop to please his
friends and their friends has be-
come an elephant on his hands.
Letters are pouring in from
every state of the Union and
Canada inquiring for more
copies. Already thousands have
been forwarded to France, Eng
land and Canada.
Letters are coming from men
Of prominence, such as Tumulty,
Roosevelt and Secretary Daniels
of the navy.
Some of Satan's letters have
already found their way into the
German trenches by airship
route.
If it is as good as they all say
then it is worth pushing along.
1t will give pleasure to you and
your friends.

June %, 1917.
To Wilhelm Won Hohenzollern,
King Of Prussia, Emperor Of
all Germany and Envoy Extra
ordinary Of Almighty God:
My Dear Wilhelm: l can call
you by that familiar name for I
have always been very close to
you, much closer than you could
know.
From the time that you were
yet an undeveloped being in your
mothers womb have shaped
your destiny for my own purpose.
In the days of Rome l created
a rough-neck known in history
as Nero; he was a vulgar charac-
ter and suited my purpose at
that particular time. In these
modern days a classic demon and
efficient supernatural was
needed and as I know the Hohen-
zollern blood I picked you as my
special instrument to place on
earth an annex of hell. I gave
you abnormal ambition, likewise
an oversupply of egotism that
you might not discover your own
failings; I twisted your mind to
that of mad man with certain
normal tendencies to carry you
by, a most dangerous character
placed in power; | gave you the
power of a hypnotist and GER
tain magnetic force that you
might sway your people. ann
responsible for the deformed arm
that hangs helpless on your left,
for your crippled condition en-
bitters your life and destroys all
noble impulses that might other
wise cause me anxiety, but your
strong sword arm is driven by
your ambitions that squelch all
sentiment and pity. I placed in
your soul a deep hatred of all
things English, for of all nations
on earth I hate England most;
wherever England puts her flag
she brings order out Of chaos
and the hated Cross follows the
Unin Jack; under her rule wild
tribes become tillers of the soil
and in due time practical citi-
zens; she is the great civilizer of
the globe and hate her. planted
in your soul a cruel hatred OF
your mother because she was
English and left my good friend
Bismark to fan the flame I had
kindled. Recent history proves
how we'll our work was done.
It broke your royal mther's heart
but I gained my purpse.
The inherited disease of the
Hohenzollern's killed your father,
just as it will kill you, and you
became the ruler of Germany and
a tool Of mine sooner than I ex-
pected.
To assist you and further
hasten my work I sent you three
evil spirits, Niezesche, Tdeitschke
and later Bernhard, whose
teachings inflamed the youths Of
Germany, who in good time would
be willing to spill their blood and
pull your chestnuts, yours and
