s"us ahottlouS eyes UOWaru the
Mediterranean, Egypt, India and the
Dardanelles and you began your great
railway to Bagdad, but the ambitious
archduke and his more ambitious
wife stood In your way. 1t was then
tnat l sowed the seed in your heart
that blossomed into the assassination
Of the duke and his wife, and ali he'll
smiled when II saw how cleverly you
saddled the crime ON to Servia.
Il saw you set sails for the fjords of
Norway and l knew you would prove
an alibi 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 naval power. Murder Is dirty |
work, but 1t takes a Hohenzollern to |
make way and get by.
Your opportunity was at hand you
set the world on fire and the bells of
hell were ringing; your rape on Bel |
GUM caused much joy, 1t was the be- |
ginning. the foundation OF perfect |
hell on earth, the destruction of noble |
cathedrals and other infinite works
of art was hailed with joy In the In
fernal regions. You made war on
friends and foe alike and the murder
OF civilians showed my teachings had
borne fruit. Your treachery toward
neutral nations FASTENED universal
upheaval, the thing most desired.
Undersea Warfare q Master Stroke.
Your undersea warfare Is a master
stroke, from the smallest mackeral pot
to the great Lusitania you show no
favorites; as war lord you stand SUI
preme, for you have no mercy; you
have no consideration for the baby
dlinging to its mothers breasts as
they both go down into the deep to-
gether, only to be torn apart and lei
surely devoured by sharks down
among the corals.
II have strolled over the battle fields
of Belgium and France. / have seen
your hand OF destruction everywhere;
it's all your work, superfiend that
made you. l have seen the fields of
Poland, now wilderness fit for prowl-
ing beasts only; no merry children In
Poland now; they all succumbed to
frost and starvation drifted down
into Galicia, where formerly Jews and
Gentiles lived happily together; I
found but ruins and ashes; / felt
curious pride In my pupil, for 1t was
all above my expectation. was in
Belgium when you drove the peaceful
population before you like cattle into
slavery; you separated man and wife
and forced them to hard labor In the
trenches. I have seen the most fiend-
ish rape committed ON young women
and those who were forced into ma
ternity were cursing the father of their
offspring and / began to doubt IL my
own inferno was really up to date.
"Yeu have taken millions of dollars
from innocent victims and called 1t
indemnity you have lived fat on the
land you usurped and sent the real
owners away to starvation. You have
strayed away from all legalized war
methods and introduced code OF
your own. You have killed and robbed
the people OF friendly nations and de-
stroyed their property. You are a
liar, a hypocrit and buffer Of the
highest magnitude. You are a part
of mine and yet you post as a per-
sonal friend Of God. All, Wilhelm, you
are a wonder You wantonly destroy
all things In your path and leave moth
ing for coming generations.
II was amazed when saw you form
! partnership with the impossible
, Turk, the chronic killer Of Christians,
! and you a devout worshipper In the
Lutheran church. / confess, Wilhelm
you are a puzzle at times. A Moham-
! medan army, commanded by German
officers, assisting one another In mas
sacreing Christians, is new line OF
warfare.
when a Prussian officer can witness
nude woman being disemboweled by
swarthy Turk committing a double
murder with one cut OF his saber and
calmly stand by and see a house full
Of innocent Armenians locked up, tho
house saturated with oil and fired, theI
my teachings did not stop with you

knew the pupil had become the master

to you. Tn gavel that has stuck tn
