KAISER'SREPLY
10 THE PRINCE

Feeling the touching letter of the
| Crown Prince going the rounds of the
| press in the state called for 4 reply
from Papa Kaiser one of our exchang-
| es contributes the following:
Rotterdam Palace, Oct. !, 1918:
hardly know we're to address you dis
| ledder, as your last vas dated on der
| nun. Howefer, I am sure it will catch
| YOU somewhere between der Hindered-
berg 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
| well as der Rhine. l do not blame o
| in der least for not wanting to associate
nit dose Americans. l understood dey
| are now calling you der Clown Prince.
| Such rudeness-vat? Why should dey
| call you such Il names? Keep away
| from dem as far rs possible. Dey tell
! me dose Americans are insisting dey
| are coming to Berlin to pay der re-
| spects to me. If you get close enough
| to one Of dem Just tell him If der day
| efcr comes when an American gets to
| der palace dere will b. none of de Clown
| Heads on der reception committee. 1t
| may be dose Americans mean us harm.
Vat if dey should get to Berlin before
| we know it? But if der worse comes to
| der worse. my dear son, YOU should re-
member you should stand between your
lofing fadder and danger. Vat would
| der dear German people do if der di-
vine ruler should be killed?
IND don't you let dose rough Ameri-
| cans fool you about dat song de sing
| what you call 81 won't be back til Its
over, over dere." No stree, what dose
| deceivers means is dat dey won't go
! back till it's over over here. Anyhow
dat is just der way dey act. I am get
ting suspicious about de actions. Vat?
ind anoder ting, my dear son, dose
! Americans dey are so deceiving-you
can't believe a ting dey say to you.
Before dey got into dis war dey wanted
| peace. OF course dey did not say what
kind Of peace dey wanted, but l belief
what dey really wan is q piece of Ger
many. But be dat as it may; why did
dey get into dis war? Certainly We did
not wan EN- in. All We did vas sink
der Loosetania-and vas it our fault
dat a tousand or two peoples und der
childrens got drowned? Why didn't
dey swim to der shore wild der babies?
Und when we bowed up der ships nit
fod und odder things on 'em it vas not
because we did not love der Americans
we had to have something's to feed der
peoples we captured. Just so! Why
did dey get mad at such liddle tings as
dat? Vat? At dat time dey said dat dey
avnted piece. But dey half changed der
mind. Now we offer dem peace and
vat do dey say? Vat does president
Wilson say? He is der worst deceiyer
Of der whole american race. ] belief
he is der very one vich wants a piece
Of Germany.
Tell dose Americans we want notings
to do NIT 'em. When we started to go
through Belgium ind Wiped der women
und children so easy / never imagined
dose offel ignorant Americans would
force demselfs pom us und insist on
coming over to Germany-right into
our own beloved land. Had I taught
of such a tings i belief I never would
started. Und, oh, my son wouldn't it
be offel if dey would do to Germany
just vat we did to Belgium und France?
1t almos' kills me to tink about such
a tings. IND right now dey are on u
beloved soil. How "a dey be SO rude
when dey were nefer invited.to come
here? Dey say some of our men half
NETS der American ruffians near Metz
und what 0 tink dey said? 1t makes
der vet salt water tears come to mine
eyes to tink about it-dey said dey vas
coming on to Berlin. AS I told you be-
fore / do not a n to meet EN- ven dey
get here so I mus close Immediately as
/ will run just like 0 before / will half
anytinss TO do init dose nasty Ameri-
cans.
Your lofing faller in hastiness,
Villyum.
