"The Internal Region,
"June %, 1917
"To Wilhelm con Hohenzollern, King
of Prussia, Emperor of all Germany
and Envoy Extraordinary of AL
mighty God:
"My Dear Wilhelm:
81 can 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 mothers
womb have shaped your destiny for
my own purposes.
"In the days Of Rome I created a
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 needed
and as | know the Hohenzollern blood
l picked you as my special instrument
to place on earth an annex of hell.
gave you abnormal ambition, likewise
an over supply of egotism that you
might not discover your own failings;
l twisted your mind to that of mad
man with certain normal tendencies
to carry you by, a most dangerous
character placed in power; l gave you
the power of a hypnotist and certain
magnetic force that you might sway
your people. am responsible for the
deformed arm that hangs helpless on
your left, for your crippled condition
embitters your life and destroys all
noble impulses that otherwise might
cause me anxiety, but your strong
sword arm is driven by your ambition
that squelches all sentiment and pity;
l placed in your soul deep hatred
for all things English, for of all ma
tions 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 till
ers of the soil and in due time prac-
tical citizens; she is the great civilizer
Of the globe and I HATE HER. I
planted in your soul cruel hatred
of your mother because SHE was
English, and left my good friend Bis
marck to fan the flame had kindled.
Recent history proves how we'll our
work was done. It broke your royal
mothers heart, but l gained my pur-
pose.
"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 farther hasten
my work l 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-you cast your
ambitious eyes toward the Mediter-
ranean, Egypt, India and the Darda-
nelles 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 l
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 Serbia. saw you set
sails for the fjords of Norway and I
knew you would prove an elibi. 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 opportunity to become a
naval power. Murder is dirty work,
but it takes Hohenzollern to make
away and get by.
"Your opportunity was at hand; you
set the world on fire and bells of hell
were ringing; your rape on Belgium
caused much joy, it was the beginning,
the foundation of a perfect hell on
earth, the destruction of noble cathe-
drals and other infinite works of art
was hailed with joy in the Internal
regions. You made war on friends
and foe alike and the murder of civil
ians showed my teachings had borne
fruit. Your treachery toward neutral
nations hastened a universal upheaval,
the thing most desired. Your under
sea warfare is a master stroke, from
the smallest mackerel pot to the great
Lusitania you show no favorites; as
a war Lord you stand supreme, for
you have no mercy; you have no con-
