The kaiser couldn't understand why
the United States did not seize both
Canada and Mexico. Apparently, from
the way he talked from time to time,
II he had been sitting in the White
House he would have grabbed the en-

That the kaiser followed American

the war broke out. was very natural.

the impression that in Hughes the
kaiser thought he saw a chance, per
haps. for more favorable attitude
toward Germany than this country
had displayed under Wilson. and that
his early intention was to throw
whatever influence he Possessed in
America into the scale in Hughes
favor.

after my arrival I received a tele-
phone message from the Reichskan-

Morganatic marriages were naturally
abhorrent to him. Nevertheless, be-
fore Archduke Franz Ferdinand, the
successor to the Austrian throne. was
murdered, the kaiser not only recog-
nized his morganatic wife, who was
only 4 countess. but went out Of his
way to show her Difference. He placed
tions which she attended. To bring
Austria and Germany closer together
We was willing to waive one Of his
deep-rooted prejudices.
The significance of the kaiser's
many visits to Italy, his presentation
Of a statue to Stockholm, his yachting
excursions in Scandinavian waters,
his f1irtations with Turkey from his
castle ON tho Island of Corfu, and SINH
lar acts Of ingratiation becomes quite
apparent in the face Of more recent
favor with America during all the
years Of peace which preceded the
war were so much more elaborate that
ton.
No more subtle piece Of propaganda
was ever conceived than the kaiser's
plan Of exchanging professors be-
tween the United States and Germany
through the establishment of the
Roosevelt and Harvard chairs at the
University Of Berlin and correspond
American universities. Ostensibly the
purpose of the project was to foster
good will between the two nations.
Actually it was intended to German
ize Americans to such an extent that
their cooperation might be relied
upon in the event OF war. for which
Germany was sedulously preparing.

Discussed With Kaiser.

What conclusion the reichskanzler
drew from the meager information
he ELECTED from me. don't know, but
do know that the subject Of our in
terview was discussed the next day
between him and the kaiser. The
Berlin papers mentioned that the
kaiser spent an hour and a half in
consultation with the reichskanzler.
The following day the kaiser came to
me, and one of the first things he
said, in a sarcastic tone. was: well.
Davis, you were nicely treated on
your return to America weren't
you?" referring to the severe exami-
nation to which the officials had sub
jected me at the dock, an incident
which 1 had spoken of to no one in
Germany but the reichskanzler.
The interview with the reichs-
kanzler and the fact that it was in
stigated by the kaiser indicated to
me that America occupied most I'M
portant place in the kaisers plans.
When. q few months later. we de-
clared war against Germany, how
ever. an the kaisers planning and
plotting of years collapsed. The edi-
flee he had been so confidently erect
ing came crashing to the ground be-
cause it was built upon a false
foundation. How elementary was his
expectation that his efforts to win
the friendship of the United States In
time of peace could avail him any
thing in the face of his barbarfc
methods of making war.
(To Be Continued-)

To Work Both Ways.

It was believed that the exchange Of
professors would accomplish the Ger
man purpose in two ways; not only
could the professors the kaiser sent
to America be depended upon to SOW
German seed in American soil, but
the American professors who were
sent to Berlin, 1t was hoped, could be
so inoculated with the German view
point that when they returned to
their native land they would dissemi-
nate 1t among their associates and
students.
The interest which the kaiser took
in this well laid plan is evidenced by
the fact that he attended the opening
lectures given by the American pro-
fessors every year. although he had
never paid such honor to q German
professor. Indeed. the drst visit the
kaiser ever paid IN his life to the
University of Berlin was to hear
Prof. Burgess, the first exchange pro-
fessor that Harvard sent across.
1t was because the kaiser's under
lying purpose was to some extent
frustrated when Harvard sent Prof
Muensterberg, a German. to Berlin.
to occupy the Harvard chair. that
that we'll known psychologist was so
badly received. 1t was noted by the
newspaper correspondents at the time
that the kaiser conversed fully half
an hour with Prof Smith of the Uni
versity of Virginia, who occupied the
Roosevelt chair. but that he devoted
only five minutes to Muensterberg.
What was the sense OF wasting time
and effort on a German? The object
was to Germanize Americans.
