THE Internal Region.
June 28. 1917.
ITO Wilhelm Won Hohenzolern, king oi
Prussia. emperor OF all Germany and
envoy extraordinary Of Almighty God
my Dear Wilhelm:
II can call you by that familiar name
for have always been very close to you,
much closer than you could ever know.
From the time you were yet an un-
developed being in your mothers womb l
have shaped your destiny for my own
purpose.
I'm the days Of Rome l created a rough
neck known in history as Nero; he was
a vulgar character and suited my pur-
pose at that particular time. In these
modern days a classic demon nd efficient
super criminal was needed and as know
the Hohenzollern blood / picked you as
my special instrument to place on earth,
an annex OF hell I gave you abnormal
| ambition, likewise an over supply Of ego
tism that you might not discover your
own failings; l twisted your mind to that
| Of mad man with certain normal ten
dencies to carry you by, most danger
Gus character placed in power; gave you
the power OF hyponotist and a certain
magnetic force that you might sway the
people. / am responsible for the deform-
ed arm that hangs helpless on your left
for your crippled condition embitters your
life and destroys all noble impulses that
might otherwise cause me anxiety, but
your strong sword arm is driven by your
ambition that squelches all sentiment and
pity; placed in your soul a deep hatred
for all things English, for OF all nations
on earth 1 hate English most; whenever
England plants her flag she brings orders
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 civili-
ger Of the globe and 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 had kindled. Recent history
proves how well our work has been done. |
1t broke your royal mothers heart, but |
gained my purpose
THE inherited disease Of the Hohen- |
zelerns killed your father just as 1t will |
kill you. and you became the ruler Of Ger |
many and a tool of mine sooner than I |
expected.
Three EVIL Spirits
ITO assist you and farther hasten my
work l sent you three evil spirits, Neitz- |
sche, Treitschke and later Bernhard
whose teachings infamed the youths OF
Germany. who in good time would be will
ing 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
Egypt. India and the
Dardanelles and you began your railway
to Bagdad, but the ambitious wife stood
in your way. It was then that I rowed
the seed in your heart that blossomed in
to the assassination of the duke and his
wife, and all he'll smiled when it saw how
cleverly you saddled the crime onto Ser
via. / saw you set sail for the fjords of
Norway and knew you would prove an
alibi. How cleverly done. so much like
your noble grandfather who also secur-
ed an assissian to remove old King Fred
erick of Denmark and later robbed that
country of two provinces that gave Ger
many an opportunity to become a naval
power. Murder is dirty work, but it takes
1 Hohenzollern to make way and get by. ,
