you cast your ambitious eyes
toward the Mediterranean, Egypt.
India and the Dardanelles and
you began your great railway to
Bagdad, but the ambitious arch
duke and his more ambitious
wife stood in your way. It was
then that 1 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 cleyerly you saddled
the crime on Serbia. l saw you
set sail for the hOrds 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 re-
move old King Frederick Of Den
mark and later robbed that coun-
try Of two provinces that gave
Germany an opportunity TO be-
come naval power. Murder is
dirty work, but it takes Hohen-
zollern to make a way and get
by with it.
Your opportunity was at hand;
you set the world on fire and the
bells of hell were ringing; your
rape on Belgium caused much
joy; it was the beginning, the
foundation of a perfect hell on
earth, the destruction of noble
cathedrals and ther infinite works
OF art was hailed with joy in the
internal regions. You made war
on friends and foe alike and the
murder of civilians showed my
teachings had bore fruit. Your
treachery toward neutral nations
fastened universaI uDheaval,
the thing l most desired. Your
undersea warfare is a master
stroke from the smallest mack
erel boat to the Lusitania. You
show no favorites; as a war lord
you stand supreme, for you have
10 mercy; you have no cOnsidera-
ton for the baby clinging to its
mothers breast as they both go
down into the deep together only
TO be torn apart and leisurely
devoured by the sharks down
among the corals.
have strolled over the battle
fields of Belgium and France.
| have seen your hand Of de-
structiOn everywhere; it's all
your work, super-flend that I
made you; l have seen the fields
of Poland; now a wilderness fit
for the prowling beasts only; no
merry children in Poland now,
they all succumb to frost and
starvation. l drifted down into
Galicia, where formerly Jews and
Gentiles lived happily together.
I found but ruins and ashes; I
felt a curious pride in my pupil
for it was all above my expecta-
ton. l 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. have
seen the most flendish rape COM
mitted on young women and
those forced into maternity were
cursing the father of their on
spring and I began to doubt if
my inferno was really up to date.
You have taken millions of
dollars from innocent victims
and called it indemnity; you have
lived fat on the land you usurped
and sent the real owners away
to starvation. You have strayed
from all legalized war methods
and introduced a code Of your
own. You have killed and robbed
the people of friendly nations and
destroyed their property. You
are a liar, a hypocrite and a bluff
fer Of the highest magnitude.
You are a pupil of mine and yet
you pose as a personal friend Of
God. All, Wilhelm, you are a
wonder. You wantOnly destroy
all things in your path and leave
nothing for coming generations.
was amazed when I saw you
form partnership with the i'm
possible Turk, the chronic killer
of Christians and you a devout
worshipper in the Lutheran
church. I confess, Wilhelm, you
are a puzzle at times. A NO
hammedan army commanded by
Prussian officers assisting one
another in massacreing Chris
tians is a new line of warfare.
When a Prussian officer can
