O"iSHA
This war began in 1892, in a meet
ing held in the palace at Potsdam.
The kaiser at that time placed in the
hands OF his advisers a document
marked Secret and Confidential" The
first line held these words: The Pan
German Empire" The second line
read: From Hamburg and the North
Sea to the Persian Gulf" The third
line was: Our immediate goal by
1915 is the conquest of 25O,OO0,OOO PEG.
pie" The fourth line read: Our ulti-
mate goal is the Germanization OF all
the nations"
On the second page there was an
extract from the kaiser's speech

oud. Frederick the Great, and Napo-
leon. These five men dreamed their
dreams OF a world empire-they
failed. |, too. have a dream of a world
empire shall succeed"
Two maps prepared by the kaiser
for his associates, set forth clearly
the ultimate goal TO be won by his
military machine. The first map was
called THE Roman Empire-Caesar
Augustus, Emperor" Then are spread
out the countries conquered. Carthage
subdued and her capital a county-seat
town reporting TO Rome; Egypt and
Palestine conquered. while Alexan.

peror. Ephesus and Athens are con.
quered and are county-seat towns un.

Having used the Roman empire as
his standard, the kaiser published the
World Map for 1920. At the top of she
map were these words: THE Pan.

These facts throw food Of light
upon the kaiser's statement to Am
bassador Gerard: When this war is
finished will not stand any nonsense
from the United States"
Now that three years of war have
been completed. we see the kaiser
missed his goal by only hairs
