Thought Waves Killing Kaiser
Belief of 5 Million Americans

can create things by tho use OF
thought. We know that when a person
sets up an ideal and concentrates
thought upon its attainment he will
attain Il.
III tho thought OF millions or peo-
pie is concentrated upon Kidding the
world OF German autocracy and OF the
Hohenzollern dynasty. is there any
reason why that creative thought can
not accomplish Its purpose?
I'm my opinion these thought waves,
radiated through space, have affected
the kaiser.
"They have done so in this way:
the kaisers ideal has been TO rule or
anyway. control the world All evo'
tism as large and determined as the
kaiser's is bound TO crush its own
purpose in life. just as a boomerang
will surely come back to its manipu-
lator.
"The kaiser has radiated hate for
the non Germanic world he has called
upon his God to aid him in over.
throwing his enemies. In doing so, he
has attracted to himself the hate OF
the world Like creates like and draws
it TO Itself.
J "World.hate toward the kaiser is
/ the natural result OF the kaiser's ha
tired toward the rest of the world. and
Of his selflove, seif-aggrandizement
and egotism'
1 In connection with possible death
Of the kaiser comes a report through
/ financial circles from German bankers
that II the present autOcrat should
