How the Kaiser Wrote to the czar. Correspondence of The Associated
 Press)
 One of the letters written by Em- perer William of Germany to the Elm peror Nicholas of Russia, addressed to My Dear Nicky" and signed 'Wil- ly" and lately made public by the BoIshevik government, contains Elm peror' Williams views on anarchists and complaint that these seound- reIs are allowed to live in Great Bri- tain and there form plots against the life of anyone"
 Emperor William expressed in this communication his sympathy for Nicholas over an "untimely visit by British fleet to Russian ports. Ger man designs, in the building of the Berlin to Bagdad railway, Willy as- sured his royal cousin in Russia, ire lated only to the Well-being of human !! ity"
 Nicholas was advised by the German Emperor to endeavor to forget the cares and troubles of state by man. eeuvring his guard troops and was in vited to meet Emperor William at Swinemunde where, he promised they would ''try to have good time. The date of this letter is not known but it is supposed here to have been written some time in 1914, several years later than the dates of a large
 number of other Dear Willy" and 1 Dear Nicky" letters already diyulged | by the Bolsheviki to show their con tempt for secret diplomacy.
 The letter follows:
 My Dear Nicky," Many thanks 1 for your sweet letter which was hand 1 ed to me by Tatistcheff and the second
 one which Vladimir gave me today. i fully sympathise with you during these l terrible times. The best way to for get the cares and troubles connected l with the state of affairs in the country l is the method you have adopted, viz 1 to occupy yourself with your splendid 1 guard, to make manoeuYreS with i 1 and to talk with it. This gives vol l satisfaction and also gives pleasure l to the troops, who without doubt, wheI l troublous times come, will repay vol | for the care you now give to then I and will prove their gratitude by beint
 a faithful, trustworthy and uncon querable weapon in the hands of theil monarch.
 T am very glad that you, who serv ed in the Huzzars, are pleased witt
 them. I must say that the same ap plies to myself. I also feel a weak
 ness towards any Guard of Huzzar | whom I at one time commanded. reviewed them yesterday before tn Enanoeuyres of the Guard Cavalry Di vision. The manoeuvres went off yer. well, but like all this years reviews finished in a heavy fall of rain.
 T quite agree with you regarding the question of anarchists. Their at tempt was a cowardly and crimina
 act. The difficulty of fighting wit
 this plague of humanity lies, as yo rightly remark, in the fact that i
 many countries and especially in Grea Britain, these scoundrels can live with
 out hindrance and can there form plot against the life of anyone.
 T know that the Spanish Prim
 Minister requested the Prince c
 Wales to express to His Majesty Ed
 ward VII the desire of the Spanis
 nation that the British Governmen
 should combine with the continents
 powers in order to take serious re
 pressive measures against this sect.
 This only proves, that the step , taken by our two governments for tn
 supervision of such persons have nc been successful, because they can liv in full freedom in London and ther develop their designs of death. Tn right place for such scoundrels is tn , scaffold and in some cases lunati | asylum. All the Continental Power ] should send a proposal to the Rritis Government, asking it to join the in ternational agreement for the figf , against these beasts. l think that wit
 mutual agreement and with a view
 defending life and culture, it woul , be possible to prohibit the -productio l of chemical products for the filling ( } bombs under threat of severe punish 1 ment.
 ."The Duma Is creating most dit f fieult situation for your goyernmeI 5 and is complieating affairs very muc f But we can hope that soon ways wi t be found for a reasonable modl 3 vivendi and that it will be possible do positive work for the good of u g country.
 : "As I had expected our choice fe on Izvolski, who, I am sure will giN g you satisfaction. and, being ciev' man, will be able to carry on boal e a peace policy corresponding to vol t desires He gave Schein very goo l advice on the Bagdad Railway que: g tion so that I hope that my govern
 ment will find it possible to work t,
 gether with him on the basis of mu 6 ual confidence based on common il S terests.
