CHAPTER iI.-contlnued.


"And them" the kaiser went on,
"when their great offensive was within
a week of being launched we broke
through their lines on slope 5000
feet high, covered with snow, where
they couldn't bring up their reserves
or new guns, and we surrounded
them!
1--WE took practically everything they
possessed--food enough to feed our
entire army without calling upon our
own supplies at all. Never before had
our armies seen such an accumulation
of ammunition. / must certainly go
down to see II.
1--WE cut Off their northern retreat
and. rs they swung their army to the
south. we captured 10000 Of them up
to their knees In the rice fields. One
of the great mistakes they made was
in carrying their civilian refugees with
housekeeping their narrow roads and
impeding the retreat Of their soldiers.
We had taken possession Of their most
productive regions. and their retreat
was through territory which yielded
them nothing. Just think OF that re-
treating army thrown upon the already
impoverished inhabitants of that sec
ton. Why. they'll starve to death
Everywhere we went we found
their big guns abandoned. In one
small village we came upon n gun dec
grated with flowers and surmounted
with n portrait OF Emperor Franz Jo-
SET. II had been put there by the Ital-
ian inhabitants Of the village to show
their happiness ut being released at
last from the yoke of the intolerable
italian lawyer government How ter

defeat. This was real help from God
Now, we've got the allies,w and he
struck his left hand with his right with
great force to emphasize his apparent
conviction thai the turning point ia
the war had been reached with Italy's
collapse.
That the kaiser now regarded him
self and his armies rs invincible ] felt,
and feared that the success In ltnly
would be followed at the first favora'
BILE opportunity by gigantic offensive
on the western front.
Indeed. on subsequent occasion
when he called mt my Office for further
treatment. and again referred to the
Italian triumph, he remarked: "If our
armies could capture 100000 Italians
and those 100000 might Just as well be
dead as fur as Italy is Commemorative
can do the same thing against our
enemies on the west"
This was one OF the interviews was

hagen eleven days and during the
greater part of that time was being
interviewed by one or another Of the
representatives OF our intelligence de-

on March 81. the western offensive
broke out as had feared.
I called at Potsdam day or two Ia
ter to attend the kaiser again. and
found him still In the same triumphant
mood, and so anxious was he to get
down TO Italy that he called ut my Of
fee three times that week to enable
me TO complete my work on his affect
ed tooth.
On November 20 the kaiser called at
my office for what proved to be his
last sitting. ] had received word on
the Goth that my pass for America had
been granted and that / could leave
on the 3Oth. and accordingly told the
kaiser that II was my intention to leave
for Copenhagen on that day.

run down-and I certainly looked 1t
and that 1t was necessary for me to
get to Copenhagen anyway, SO that
could get In touch with America re-
garding porcelain tooth patent which
had been granted to me In July. 1915,
but which large dental company was
seeking to wrest from me. The patent
authorities had delayed action because
of the fact that resided In an enemy
country.
On the 2Sth received letter from
the court chamberlain stating that the
president OF police had made 1t known
TO the kaiser that had applied for a
pass to America and demanding an ex-
PLANTATION as to why l had told the kali
ser that had planned to go to Copen-
hagen and had c mentioned Amer

Nevertheless. the Both came around
and the pass didn't, and the boat which
sailed from Copenhagen on December

without me.
Again the weary weeks followed
