THE KAISER AND THE WAR.

Once again the German emperor has availed himself of the oppor- tunity to inform his army, his coun- try and the world that he is in active and very potent alliance with God.
 Nor is there any reason to be- lieve that he is guilty of any pre- tense in so doing.
 Sincerity ard earnestness stands out Of the man, as ruthle3sly sin cere and as deadly in earnest as men can well be.
 lie is not by any means con- temptiblc ffure although reason able effort upon the part of cantoon ista has been made so to make him appear. and ha is certainly making the most of his position and his faith to imbue his subjects with the same ideal, however grotesque that ideal may appear 10 outsiders.
 Men as well as nations sill cling to the notion that in these trials and tribuations that have come upon the world they are fighting the cause of the Almighty This view has been common to them all and it is fact that the case with which expression has been given to this belief indicates that most of the people and most of the nations have nationalized their deity.
 Just as Billy Sunday does not preach his hearers up to God but slangs his God down to the lowest level of his hearers. So have the na- tions in this war brought their con ception of a God home to them selves, and by, Of and for them selves, an anthropoid being acco- mOdated to their own conception of superman, based upon these pe2u- culiar faculties which they most admire.

The idea that he lacks prudence is altogether wrong. | has now been fairly we'll confirmed that he alone of all the German ruling class was reluctant to draw the sword in the Great War. H. seems to have very well understood the fact that British neutrality Una peculiarly enough was firm be lei in official Berlin at the out break of the war. was not probable at all. And he alone of all th' German ruling lass showed nc sentiment of evaporation or sur prize when British ho! tility was al accomplished fact.
 For some reason not wholly ob scure publicists have endeavored t' show that German militarism ant German imperialism is wrapped ul in the Kaiser
 The Kaiser has done his share t' aid in the maintenance of a power ful army, he has very strongl, urged a powerful navy. He exhi bited resentment at opposition tC credits for military purposes.
