state in the union and Canada
have asked for copies of Mr..

The Internal Region, June %,
i9l7.-To Wilhelm Won Hohen-
zollern, King of Prussia, Emperor
of all Germany and Envoy Extra
ordinary of Almighty God--My
Dear Wilhelm: can call you
that familiar name. for | have al
ways been very close to you, much
closer than you can ever know.
From the time you were vet an
undeveloped being in your moth
er's womb have shaped your
destiny for my own purpose.
''In the days of Rome | created
a roughneck i'll history known as
Nero. He was vulgar person
and suited my purpose at that
time In these modern days

HohenZollern blood [ picked you
as my special instrument to place
on earth an annex of hell gave
you abnormal ambition, likewise
an oversupply of egotism that you
might not discover your failings;
| twisted your mind to that of a
mailman with certain normal ten
denotes to carry you by, most
dangerous character placed in
power; | 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
might otherwise cause me anX-
iety, but your strong arm is driv-
en- by your ambition that squelch-
es all sentiment and pity; /
placed in your soul deep hatred
for all things English. for OF all
nations on earth hate England
most; wherever England plants
her flag she brings order out of

the union jack; under her rule
wild tribes become tillers of the
soil and in due time practical
citizens; she is the great civilizcr
of the globe and hate her. /
planted in your soul a cruel hat
red for your mother because she
was English and left my good
friend Bismarck to fan the flame
had kindled. Recent history
proves how we'll our work was
done. broke your royal moth
er's heart, hut | gained my pur-
pose.
The inherited disease of the
Hohenzollerns killed your father,
Just as it will kill you, and you be-
came the ruler of Germany and
tool of mine sooner than | en-
pected.
TO assist you and further
hasten my work sent you three
evil spirits, Neitzche, l'rcitschkc,
and later Bernhardi, whose teach
lngs inflamed the youths of Ger
many, 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 Mediterranean, Egypt, India
and the Dardanelles, and you be
gan your great railway to Bagdad.
but the ambitious archduke and
his more ambitious wife stood in
your way. Ii was then that |
sowed the seed in your heart that
blossomed into the assassination
of the duke and his wife, and all
ASil With IL saw llOM ClPN-
erly you saddled the crime onto
Servia. saw you set sail for the
fjords of Norway and | knew YOU
would prove an alibi. How clev-
erly done, so very much like your
noble grandfather, who also Sc
cured as 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 a Hohenzollern to make
away and get by.
Your opportunity was at hand:
you set the world Attire and the
bells of hell were ringing: your
rape on Belgium caused much
joy, it was the beginning. the
foundation of perfect hell on
earth, the destruction of noble
cathedrals and other infinite
works of art was hailed with 10y
in the Internal regions. You
made war on friend and foe alike
