Louis Syberkrop of Creston has ac-

requests have come to him from
Tumulty, Secretary Daniels and
Roosevelt, and people in every state
of the union and in Canada have asked
for copies of Mr.. Syberkrop's article.
It is:
"The Internal Region.
June %, 1917.
ITO Wilhelm Won Hohenzollern, King
of Prussia, Emperor of All Germany
and Envoy Extraordinary of AL
mighty God:
"My Dear. Wilhelm:
II can call you by that familiar
name for I 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 moth
er's womb l have shaped your destiny
for my own purpose.
"In the days Of Rome I created a
roughneck known in history as Nero.
He was a vulgar character and suited
my purpose at that particular time.
In these modern days a classic demon
and efficient supernatural was need
ed, and as I know the Hohenzollern
blood, l picked you as my special in
strument to place on earth an annex
of hell. l gave you abnormal ambi-
ton, likewise an owe supply of ego
tism that you might not discover your
own failings; I twisted your mind to
that of a mad man with certain nor
NAL tendencies to carry you by, a
most dangerous character placed in
power; l gave you the power of. a
hypnotist and a certain magnetic force
that you might sway your people:
l am responsible for the deformed
arm that hangs helpless On your left,
for your crippled condition embitters
your life and destroys all noble inn
pulses that might otherwise me
anxiety, but your strong sword arm
is driven by your ambition that
placed in your soul a deep hatred for
on earth I hate England most: wher-
ever England plants her flag she
brings. order out Of chaos and the
hated Cross follows the Union Jack;
under her rule wild tribes become
tillers of the soil and in due time
practical citizens; she is the great
civilzer of the globe and I HATE
HER. I planted in your soul a cruel
hatred for your mother because SHE
was English and left my good friend
Bismarck to fan the flame I had kin
died. Recent history proves how well
our work was done. It broke your
royal mothers heart, but I gained my
purpose.
"The inherited disease of the Hob
enzollerns killed your father, just as
it will kill you, and you became the
ruler of Germany and a tool Of mine
sooner than I expected.
"To assist you and further hasten
my work, I sent you three evil spir-
its, Nietzsche, Treitschke and later
Bernhard, whose teachings infamed
the youths of Germany, who in good
time would be willing and loyal sub
jects and eager to spill their blood
and pull your chestnuts, yours and
mine; the spell has been perfect-you
cast your ambitions eyes toward the
Mediterranean Egypt, India and the
Dardanelles and you began your greas
railway to Bagdad, but the ambitious
archduke and his more ambitious
wife stood in your way. 1t was then
that I 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 to Servia. ]
saw you set sails for the fjords OF
Norway and I knew you would prove
an alibi. How cleverly done, so much
like your noble grandfather, who also
secured an assassin to remove ole
King Frederick of Denmark, and later
robbed that country of two provinces
that gave Germany an opportunity tx
become a naval power. Murder is dirty
work, but it takes a Hohenzollern tt
make a way and get by.
"Your opportunity was at hand; yor
set the world on fire and the bells Of
hell were ringing; your rape on Bel
GUM caused much Joy, it was the be
ginning, the foundation of a perfec'
