The Kaiser AS The Prince OF Peace
BY GEORGE L. MOORE, CAMP UPTON

Wilhelm, the Good, the Peaceful, was
the greatest of all our wonderful
heroes who ever attempted to carry
our great peaceful Kultur into the
uttermost parts of the earth. His fall
ure was tragic. He was trying with
all his might and an army OF several
million peace-loving boys. to keep
peace In the world. but wicked little
nation called Belgium invaded our fair
land and we were forced to raise our
arms I'm defense Of our helpless women
and children.
1t was hard for the peaceful Wilhelm
to do this because he always loved
peace and hated war and did all he
could to keep the rest of the wicked
world from striking at us with their
sharp swords and terrible guns. He
could never convince the rest of the
world that he loved peace.
Some of the crazy people in the
world then were foolish enough to
travel in boats on our oceans and they
even went near some Of our lovely
submarines that were out for a holiday,
and the submarines happened to be
letting some torpedOes off for fun and
the foolish vessels ran right into them.
But Wilhelm, The Good, would not
hurt anyone. The reason so many
men were killed in the war that Our
Great King had forced upon him was
that they would insist on stepping on
bombs that some of our dear soldiers
had been playing with. And the fool
ish pigs of women would lose their
heads and throw themselves at the
bayOnets our soldiers had to carry in
self defense. And, of course, they
would get hurt. And foolish men In
the uniforms of other nations would
hurl themselves In the paths of our
machine guns fire and commit suicide.
But Wilhelm was always for peace.
Five times during the war he tried
to make his kind Of peace. but the
poor, simple-minded countries that
made war against us didn't have sense
enough to accept his generous terms
and insisted on forcing their own kind
of peace. Wilhelm didn't want any
thing but the whole world, believing
that German Kultur should be every.
where to shed its light of peace and
good will. He already had Heaven
when the war was forced on us. He
would have gotten the whole earth.
but for the interference OF those who
forced democracy upon us.
