KAISER ANSWERS
SONS LETTER

Feeling that the touching letter
of the Grown Prince printed in last
weeks Times-Record, calls for a re-
ply from Papa Kaiser, we will perpe-
trate the following upon the long
suffering public:
Rotterdam Palace, Oct. 1, 1918:
hardly know how to address you
! dis ledder, as your last vas dated on
der run. However, am sure it will
catch you somevere between der
Hinderedburg line und der Rhine.
Would advise you to hurry back to
der Rhine as soon as possible, as
dose rough Americans seems to be
after der whole bacon as we'll as der
Rhine. l do not blame you in der
least for not wanding to associate
NIT dose Americans. | understood
dey are now calling you der Clown
Prince. Such rudenes-dat Yhy
should dey call you such names?
Keep away from dem as far as pos
sible. Dey tell me dose Americans
are insisting dey are coming to Ber-
lin to pay der respects to me. If
you get close enough to one Of dem
just tell him if der day efer comes
when an American gets to der pal
ace dere will be none of de Clown
Heads on. der reception committee.
1t may be dose Americans means us
harm. What if dey should get to
Berlin before we know it? But if
der worst comes to the worst, my dear
son, you should remember you should
stand between your lofing ladder and
danger. Vat would der German people
do if der divine ruler should be killed?
Und don't you let does rough Amer
leans fool you about dat song dey
sing-what you call II won't be back
till it's over over dere" No stree,
what dose deceivers means is dat dey
won't go back till it's over over here.
Anyhow that is just der way dey act.
l am getting suspicious about de ac-
tions. Vat?
Und anoder ting, my dear son, dose
dey are so deceiving-you
can't believe ting dey say to you.
Before dey got into dis war dey want
ed peace. Of course dey did not say
what kind of peace dey wanted, but I
belief what dey really want is piece
Of Germany. But be dat as it may;
Why did dey get into dis war? Ger
tainly We did not want 'em in. All We
lid vas sink der Loosetania-undv vas
t our fault dat tousand or two peo-
oles und der childrens got drowned?
Why didn't dey swim to der shore wild
Ter babies? Und ven We blowed UP
Ter ships NIT food und odder things
IN 'em it vas not because We did not
owe der Americans-ve had to have
to feed der peoples we cap
ured. Just so! Why did dey get mad
It such fiddle tings as dat? Vat? At i
lat time dey said dat dey want
ID piece. But dey hat changed der
mind. Now we offer dem peace and
'ot do dey say? Vat does PRESIDENT
|ilson say? He is der worst dcceiver
f der whole American race. I be-
lef he is der very one vich vans
piece of Germany.
Tell does Americans We wants
otings to do NIT 'em. When We
tarted to go through Belgium und
tipped der womens und childrens so
asy | meier imagined does offel ignor-
mt Americans would force demselfs
pom us and insist on coming over to
'ermany-right into our own belofed
and. Had l taught of such tings l
elief l never would started. Und, oh,
~ son, wouldn't it be offel if day
ould do to Germany just vat we did
, Belgium and France? It almos'
ills me to tink about such tings.
ind right now dey are nour belofed
oil. How can dey be so rude ven
ey were nefer invited to come here?
icy say some Of our men hal NETS der
american rufians near Metz. Und
hat you tink dey said? It makes
er vet salt water tears come to mine
yes to tink about it-dey said dey vas
oming on to Berlin. AS I told you
efore / do not want to meet 'em ven
ey get here so l n1u' close immedi-
tely. as l will run just like you be-
ore will hat anytings to do nit dose
asty Americans.
Your lofing faddec in !,astiness,
V;1ivr7Y,
