KAIsER'S MENTAL STATE
German Ruler Said to Show Symptoms
of Incipient Insanity.


1t would not surprise our State De-
nartment to hear that Kaiser Wilhelm
is a raving maniac confined IN, ar
asv:um. 1t has been known IN lnsi-e
circles for long time that the Ger
man ruler has been suffering from all
symptoms of incipient insanity, and
the strain under which he has beer:
laboring during the war has aggravat-
ea his trouble. This insanity rumor IS
not brought forward as joke. II IS
a fact that alienists and other nnedi-
cal men in this country are just be-
ginning to get authentic wind Of.
Reports have been received lately
that the kaiser has become obsessed
with the notion that he has a divine
mission to save humanity" His re!i-
p:ous mania has been much acccntuat-
ed. Years ago, when the writer YVES
in Berlin, the kaiser's condition was
the subject of common gossip, which,
for diplomatic reasons, could not DC
written about in the newspapers.
Things happened or the occasion Of
Raosevelt's visit TO the kaiser which
could be explained only as evidence
of mind so erratic as to be border
ing en- insanity.
Those who have lad opportunity to
study the kaiser's case regard it as
hereditary His monomania for ali
things military, touched with religious
mania, has made him tremendously
effective as an instrument of the mill
tarist cult The kaiser all his life
has thought only in terms of war. His
great uncle, Frederick the Great, is
his idea Of what a man and ruler
should be. And every activity Of his
mind-which is normally a rather
good student mind, experts say-has
been devoted to the purpose Of build
ing up Prussian war-making power.
Science, learning, industry, the arts,
the resources of the country, the
church, the peoples religious beliefs,
the pleasures, and even the bearing
Of children and their training IN
schools, have been warped to the one
purpose
Before the war days it was the dailT
and hourly task CT the German foreign
Office to keep check on 7 re kaiser
and see tha: his little insanities did
not lead to lisplon?atic consequences,
He was constantly under espionage
ard in tutelage. When he talked too
much and too ind;screetly, he was re-
minded to desist. When he did or said
foolish things to loreign diplomats,
apologies and explanations followed
from the foreign minister.

TROUBLE FOR HINDENBURG

London, May 10-Former Influential
officers in the German army, support
crs of Won Moltke, the former chief

FATE or AMIENs
picardy's, Capital May Be Treated as
Was Rheims By German Invaders.

On the French Frons ii France, May
10.-The German artillery, under or
ders from the .Prussian and Bavarian
crown princes, IS doing its utmost TO
turn Amiens into another Rheims. Pr
cardy's capital has already suffered
terribly from this effort to carry out
the German idea Of striking terror
into the Fatherland's enemies by the
destruction Of their most-loved works
of art, and every day adds to its SUI
fering.
The correspondent went all over the
abandoned city and observed the ef-
fecls Of the bombardment, which has
turned the town into heaps Of ruins
and killed 50 civilians, 80 women and 5
children, besides wounding 62 men,
Is women ana 19 Children before the
population had an opportunity to eVac-
late the place. Since the Germans
have been within cannon shot of
Amiens they have hurled no fewer
than $500 shells, mostly G-inch and
8-inch, into the city.
Every indication points to system
ate effort to destroy the public build
inGs. as the Cathedral has been struck
by shells which have pierced the roof
ard walls. ani! The object 0: firing in
cessantly upon the town cannot be
explained except upon the assumption
that it is carried out with the purely
barbarous idea of the destruction of
the beautiful objects it contains.
This follows from the fact that no
troops whatever are in the city AMI
that the railroad passing through it
is not in use. Aerial torpedoes to the
number of $50 have been launched
from airplanes upon various parts Of
the city AS most of the shells aNd
toypedoes are Of the incendiary type,
they have caused enormous damage, so
that up to the present 1900 houses
have beer destroyed.

the German Ambassador, who promls-
