The Internal Region.
June %. 1917.
ITO Wilhelm Won HohenZollern, king
of Prussia, emperor of all Ger
many and envoy extraordinary Of
Almighty God:
MY dear Wilhelm:
Il can call you by that familiar
name for have always been very
close to you. much closer than you
could ever know.
an undeveloped being in your moth
er's womb have shaped your
destiny for my own purpose.
I'm the dogs Of Rome l created a
roughneck known in history as
Nero; he was q vulgar character and
suited my purpose at that particular
time. In these modern days a classic
demon and efficient super criminal
was needed and as / know the
Hohenzollern blood l picked you as
my special instrument to- place on
earth an annex Of hell. l gave you
abnormal ambition likewise an over
supply Of egotism that you might
not discover your own failings: |
twisted your mind to that of a mad
man with certain normal tendencies
to carry you by, a most dangerous
character placed in power; / gave
hn ~ hNyFNnnfiGf
certain magnetic force that you
might sway your people. ain re-
sponsible for the deformed arm that
hangs helpless on your left for your
crippled condition embitters your
life and destroys all noble impulses
that might otherwise cause me an
xiety but your strong sword arm is
driven by your ambition that
squelches all sentiment and pity; !
placed in your soul deep hatred for
all things English, for of all nations
on earth hate England most;
wherever England plants her flag she
brings order out of chaos and the
hated Cross follows the Union Jack;
under her rule wild tribes become
tillers of the soil and in due time
practical citizens; she is the great
civilizer OF the globe and / HATE
HER. / planted in your soul a cruel
hatred for your mother because SHE
was English and left my. good friend
Bismarck to fan the flame / had
kindled. Recent history proves how
we'll our work was done. 1t broke
your royal mothers heart but
gained my purpose.
THE inherited disease Of the Hoh-
enzollerns killed your father just as
it will kill you, and you became the
ruler of Germany and a tool of mine
sooner than ! expected.
Three Evil Spirits.
ITO assist you and farther hasten
my work / sent you three evil spir-
its, Nietzsche. Treitschke and later
Bernhard whose teachings infiamed
the youths of Germany who in good
time would be willing and loyal sub
jects and eager to spill their blood
and pull your chestnuts, yours and
mine; the spell has been perfect
you cast your ambitious eyes toward
the Mediterranean, Egypt, India and
the Dardanelles and you began your
great railway to Bagdad but the am
bilious archduke and his more am
bilious wife stood in your way. 1t
was then that / sowed the seed in
your heart that blossomed into the as
of the duke and his wife,
and all hell smiled when II saw how
you saddled the crime on to
Servia. / saw you set sails for the
ftords Of Norway and ] knew you
would prove an alibi. How cleverly
done, so much like your noble grand
father, who also secured an assassin
to remove old King Frederick Of
Denmark, and later robbed that
OF two provinces that gave
an opportunity to become a
naval power. Murder Is dirty work
but 1t takes a Hohenzollern to make
a way and get by.
