THE KalsER's DlABolIcAL PURPOSE.

Grinnell College put itself right
again as TO this war and before a Mar
shalltown office when President Main
introduced Professor Schoffield from
Harvard temporarily assigned to Grin
nell College, for a patriotic address.
Professor Schoffield recently ad-
dressed 10000 people in one audience
in st. Paul and made sixteen addresses
in the recent liberty loan campaign IN
St Paul and Minneapolis. He is con-
cedeGly too big celebrity 10 be
booked by the Marhalltown club for
private club dinner address had not
President Main arranged il and those
who know Grinnill College and Presi-
dent Main think that they can see
design in the arrangement to repair
DR.. tSeiners mistake on prev
.ous date.
At any rate the club listened to a
most inspiring address by a man who
had dined and conversed with the
German kaiser as TO his war policy
and purpose seven years before the
war was started by the German gov
eminent TO dominate the earth.
Professor schofie1d came home
from his assignment to Berlin Univer-
sity in 1907 convinced that the kaiser
was determined to start a war for
world dominion some day He told
Roosevelt what ne had heard from the
kaisers own lips and Roosevelt got
into this war from the very start be-
cause ne knew what the kaiser's pur-
pose was to be. President Taft had
the same information from Yale
sources. Harvard College got into the
war at the start, fifty eight Harvard
men having given up their lives in the
allied armies before President Wilson
ceased 70 De TOO proud to fight Seven
thousand Harvard men are now in the
army and navy.
During the professors stay In Berlin
he was Informed by the kaiser that 1t
was the deliberate purpose Of the Ger
man government to have an army and
navy SO strong that no nation would
dare oppose my WILL" He read from
the kaisers own address 70 his troops
that the kaiser considered himself ap-
pointed by God to rule the world for
the German people because the Ger
man people were the chosen people
and he was their emperor. Professor
Schoffield cited the information which
liberate purpose OF the German rulers
to terror!ze the world with their fright
fulness in order that the world might
be conquered by fear. Atrocities, he
said. were not the best!al excuses Of
German soldiers, but the deliberate
and long prearranged plans Of the
military command to terrorize their
enemies
The kaiser was pictured as a very
human kind Of a person, at once able
and high enough minded to have the
! exaitation OF Germany Tor his pur-
| pose but insane in his desire to DOM
| mate the world by force and cruel and
| fairly diabolical in his determination
to accomplish that purpose. Without
saying so boldly it was evident from
his address that Professor Schoff,eld
! is c.e college man who has little con-
| 1dence in President Wilson's grasp OF
| international affairs or his ability to
fight this war with efficiency. He
seems actually to fear the bolshevik
tendencies Of the socialist crowd that
surrounds the president in his admin

T, say that Roosevelt was the one mar
whom the German rulers feared mos
in Amerjca. because Roosevelt would
