larger share of all rancor and bitter ness directed against Germany and the Hohenzollerns as the instigators of the whole miserable business.
 President Wilson expressed the views of major portion of civiliza- tion when he made it clear that Am erica does not consider peace possible in a world in which the Hohenzollern dynasty is allowed to rule. The Hoh enzollerns and their dynasty amoi- tions have been the curse not only of the docile German people, but of the whole world as we'll. The history of how the Hohenzollern family rais-
 ed themselves from minor baronial
 family to an imperial dynasty claim
 ing divine rights and how under their
 direction Prussia was made the men
 ace that she is, constitutes one long
 and bloody story of war and theft and rapine.
 It began away back in the eigh- teenth century when Frederick the Great, Wilhelm's ancestor assisted in the partition of the Polish kingdom and took a large share for himself. And every Prussian war since that time, and they were as frequent as the military strength of Prussia permit ted. has netted the Hohenzollerns
 something in the way of power or territory.
 The disgraceful treatment of Bel gium was no more than should have
 been expected from that Prussia which robbed little Denmark of her choicest territorial possession, Schles- wig Holstein back in the sixties. No more shameful piece of business was ever consummated m the history of the world than the ruthless rob bery of Denmark by the dynasty that
 now sits upon the German throne. The counts against the Hohenzol- Tern dynasty are many and against the present head of the family, Will
 helm IT,. they are innumerable.
 Laying aside the case of Belgium
 there can be laid at his door the misery of world. His is the sin of causing a whole world to be drenched l in blood and tears. Today the world teens with millions of men with sightless eyes; mangled men with shattered limbs: widows and orphans bathed in tears and filled with wretch edness and sorrow--and all because of one man, Wilhelm II. Because of him the whole course
 of civilization has been checked in
 It's forward swing and made to reel
 backward into the barbarism of war;
 with all of its attendant miseries and
 horrors. The starving of the Belgians
 and the casting into enforced slavery
 of thousands of the Belgian people;
 the furnishing of the war bereft people of Poland; the massacre of the Ar menians by the Turks with the tacit consent of the German govern ment, are all indictments against his l name. And today there is not spot in the civilized world where his ex-l istenee has not been felt for evil. No other person in history has been re- sponsible for so much misery, so much destruction of life and property: l so much shedding of innocent blood.
 And it is a more than safe to as- sume that civilization will consider no peace until the Hohenzollern dy-I nasty has been forever prevented from . gain plunging the world into blood and misery; until the German people are allowed to rule themselves in accordance with their natural peace loving inclinations; until the destruc- ton of dynastic pretensions and am bitions make It possible to bring to the earth an enduring peace-then, and then only, can We look for peace offers that will be received in gladness and welcome.
