The Hartford republican. (Hartford, Ky.) 18??-1926, 1917-12-14

| gan your great railway to- Bagdad,
but tho ambitions arChduke and his
more ambitious wife stood in your
way. Il was then that | sowed the
,eod in your heart that blossomed in
! 0 assassination Of the duke and his
vito, and all he'll smiled when II saw
how oloyerly you saddled the crime
on Serbia. | saw you set sails for the
lords of Norway, and i knew you
would prove an abb. How cleverly
done, so much like your noble grand
| father, who also secured an a"s1eein
to remove old King Frederick OF Den
mark, and later robbed that country
of two provinces that gave Germany
! an opportunity to become n naval
power. Murder is dirty work, but
! it takes HohenzollcrD TO make n
way and get by.
Your opportunity was at hand; yor
sci the world on fire and bells Of hell
were ringing; your rape on Belgian
caused much joy. II was the begin
ming, the foundation OF a perfect hell
! on earth; the destruction of noble
caIhedrals 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 neu-
/ trail nations FASTENED a universal up
heaval, the thing ] most desired
Your undersea warfare is master
strike, from the smallest mackerel
| pot 10 the great Lusitania you show
no fayorites; as war lord You stand
supreme, for you have no mercy; yOs
! have no consideration for the baby
clinging to its mothers breasts as
/ they both go down into the deep to-
eether, only to be torn apart and
/ leisurely devoured by sharks down
among che corals.
| have strolled over the battle
fields nf Belgium and France. have
seen your hand Of destruction every
where; It's all your work super-Gend
that ! made you. / have seen the

merry children in Poland now; they
IAN succumDed to frost and starva-
/ toni drifted down into Galicia
whore formerly Jews and Gentiles
lived happily together; 1 found but
ruins and ashes; felt curious pride
in my pupii, for il was all above my
expectation. / was in Belgium when
you drove the peaceful population
before YOU like cattle into slavery !;
YOU seperate man and wife and fore
cd them to hard labor in trenches.
y have seen the most fiendish rape
committed on young women and
those who were forced into materni-
~ were cursing the father of their
arapring and Z began to doubt If my
Town ilfo~no was really up to date.
You have taken millions Of dol
! mrs from innocent victims and cali
! "a it indemnity; you have lived fat
on the land you usUrped and sent the
zeal owners away to starvation. You
have strayed away from all legaliz-
ed war methods and introduced n
code of your own. You have killed
and robbed the people of friendly ma
lions and destroyed their property.
You are a liar, a hypocrite and a
buffer of the highest magnitude.
| You are part OF mine and yet you
pose as a personal friend of God.
All, Wilhelm, you are q wonder. YOu
wantonly destroy all things in your
path and leave nothing for coming
generations.
l was amazed when ] saw you
form a partnership with the impos-
sible Turk. the chronic killer of
| Christians, and you a devOut wOr-
shipper in the Lutheran Church. l
confess. Wilhelm, you are puzzle
at times. A Mohammedan army, COM
Z IUdnutItu dSbiSt-
ing one another in massacreing
Christians is a new line of warfare.
When a Prussian officer can witness
nude woman being disemboweled
by a swarthy Turk, committing a
double murder with one cut OF his
saber, and calmly stand by and see
house full of innocent Armenians
locked up, the house saturated with
oil and fred, then my teachings did
not stop with you, but have been ex-
tended to the whole German nation.
confess my Satanic sould grew sick
and there and then | knew my pupil
had become the master. l am a back
number, and, my dear Wilhelm, !
abdicate in your favor. The great key
of hell will be turned over to you,
The gavel that has struck the doom
of damned souls since time began is
yours am satisfied with what |
haVa done. that NV ahdication in
