KAISER WATCHED AND CRITICISED

the United States had elected as its
chief executive and his surprise was
more or less natural in those circum-
stances.
When Wilson sent 5000 men to
Vera Cruz the kaiser felt that he had
exceeded his rights.
What right has Wilson to mix In
the internal affairs of Mexico?" he
asked: why doesn't he allow. them
to night 1t out among themselves. II
Is their affair. not his" Germany had
many financial interests in Mexico
and looked with disfavor upon any
move we made in that direction.
when, however, the war in Europe
started the kaiser made every ef-
fort to have America mix in interna-
tionai affairs provided we fought on
her side.
When I saw him Just after the wal
started he said we ought to seize the
opportunity to annex Canada and
Mexico.

he asked. with our feet on one side
and Americas on the other we could

Americas great opportunity to domi-
nate the western hemisphere. and
your President must see his chance
to take Canada and Mexico!"
As the war progressed and reports
reached the kaiser of our increased
shipments of munitions to the allies
the kaiser's fmpatience with Wilson
became more difficult to repress, and
there was hardly an interview I had
with him In which he did not give
vent to his feelings In that connection

OF Wilson was shortly after we en-
tered the war. 1 had been summoned
to the great army headquarters to
see him. and when he entered the
room he appeared to be in a tower
ing rage. Indeed, his condition was
so apparent that the kaiserin, who
was also present, sought to excuse
him with the explanation that he had
been very much upset and had been
sleeping very poorly, and she asked
me to treat him gently and tried to
soothe him at the same time, but he
told her to leave the room and re-
sented her showing me that she pet

We said little while was at work
but when I was through and was
preparing to leave the kaiser stepped
toward me and said:

CHAPTER ".
The Kaiser's Appraisal of. Public
Men.

No one ever speaks to the kaiser
until addressed. AS that monarch's
opinions on most subjects are firmly
any erroneous idea he may entertain
is very apt to remain with him. HIS
advisers were apt to leave him In
error rather than arouse his ire by
attempting to set him right. But for
the fact that he was very fond OF
asking innumerable questions. his
store of information might have been
extremely scanty.
In the course Of my. conversations
with him he frequently expressed his
views of men who were in the public
eye. Upon what basis they were
founded he did not always enlighten
me, but even when 1 knew them to be
erroneous I realized it was useless to
try to change them and did not often
take issue with him. When I did his
eyes would flash fire. but I had ex-
pected that and I continued just the
same.
Before the war, even when his criti-
cisms of public men were adverse. he
usually clothed them in temperate Ian
guage. After the war. however. he
sometimes became vituperative and
abusive and made little effort to re-
strain himself.
There was no question of the
kaiser's familiarity with current af-
fairs and his broad knowledge of indi-
viduals who occupied important places
the world over. I asked him once
what papers he read that he was kept
so well posted upon what was going
on in the world and he told me that
one of his secretaries clipped most of
the important newspapers and maga-
zines and laid everything of interest
before him.
