WORLD-RULE

Self-evident proof that the Ger
man Kaiser planned a war that
would make him ruler of the world
thirteen years ago has just come to
light through the publication Of a
series Of remarkable confidential let
ters and kilograms which passed be-
tween Kaiser Wilhelm and Gar
Nicholas.
The correspondence, published in a
copyrighted series in the Washing
ton Post, was found in the private
archives Of Gar Nicholas at Tsars-
koe Selo, after he was deposed. Pre-
vious to that time not even his most
trusted ministers knew of its exist
ence. The letters recently came into
possession Of Herman Bernstein,
correspondent, in Russia.
Own kilograms Convict Gar.
The kilograms. exchanged during
the years 1904, 1905. 1906, and 1907,
bare q crafty plan OF the Kaiser to
gain world power by tricking the cas-
fly led Gar, crushing France, and
destroying England.
The part the deposed Gar played in
the game of world chess is proved by
his own kilograms to have been that
of q mere pawn, TO be moved by the
master player, wilhelm. this way or
that across the board, as best served
his game.
First, Russia was to be cajoled into
q secret alliance with Germany, in
order, the Kaiser pretended-and
Nicholas evidently believed-that the
latter might be protected against an
Anglo-Japanese menace which the
German ruler created out of his i'm
agination to serve his ends.
The Kaiser then planned to use his
contemplated alliance with Russia as
a club to force France to break with
England and join with him and Rus
sia
Contemplated Seizure of Denmark.
Then, with two powerful allies, he
planned to swoop down on England
and destroy her.
Even the actual campaign of attack
was partly mapped out, the CORE
spondence shows. The preliminary
step was to be the closing OF the Bal
tic Sea- and the invasion OF neutral
Denmark, Just as later the Esaiser's
forces invaded little Belgium.
At first, the Kaiser hoped TO draw
Denmark, too. into his planned alliance,
and with that end in view. he made, in
1905, a visit to Copenhagen. to discuss
the matter with the Danish sovereign
But with crafty insight, he saw this
plan could not be put through. When
he abandoned II, without even mention
ing II, he threw himself into a round
OF gayety, and pretended that his visit
TO the Danish capital was purely social. |
But at the same time he was laying
plans to seize the entire kingdom for
use as base OF military operations. He
wrote frankly Of his intention TO Gar
Nicholas. and the latter. bending as
usual before the stronger intellect and |
will. agreed.
The correspondence, throughout, |
shows that Wilhelm played with his |
supine brother-in-lAw as cat with a |
mouse.
During the Russo-Japanese war he |
alternately advised peace and a con- |
tinuation OF the struggle, as best suit |
ed his own aims. And while giving |
this apparently friendly advice, he
feathered the nest for his German |
industries by persuading the Car to |
place contracts for more warships, |
"to be used as peace arguments" with |
German concerns.
Finally, he wrote a letter OF advice |
which must have made him smile to |
himself. He, the autocrat, the war |
lord. urged his kinsman TO leave the |
entire matter OF making peace with |
Japan to the ''voice OF the people"
In other words, after urging and |
encouraging Russia to fight until he |
saw Russia's defeat in the war was |
inevitable, he advised Nicholas to |
"pass the buck"
