Gus In her demands, the kaiser had
great hopes that war with France
might thus be precipitated and he was
confident that England would keep out
Of It.
England would be afraid to war

When the kaiser's ambitious project
to dominate the world is considered,
his consistent opposition to the univer-
nal disarmament proposals is easily
understood. Without a superior army
and navy, his whole plan would have
to be abandoned and his dream Of
worldwide dominion would be shat.
tered. IS
On one occasion when we were dis
cussing the Carnegie peace efforts,
the kaiser disclosed very positively
just where he stood on the proposition.
"Look at the history Of the nations
Of the world" he declared. 1.-THE only
nations which have progressed and be-
come great have been warning nations.
Those which have not been ambitious
and gone to a have amounted TO
nothingl"
Shortly after Wilson had pointed the
way to peace In Europe In one Of his
notes to all the belligerent powers tho
kaiser called to see me professionally
and we discussed that latest phase Of
the situation.
'The way to peace now seems per.
fectly clear" I ventured. "Only your
majesty's ever%-increasing army and
navy stands in the way. II Germany
will give up her armament, It seems,
We would soon have peace"
''That is out Of the question for Ger
many" replied the kaiser, decisively.
I'VE have no mountains like the Pyre-
nees to protect us. We have the open
plains Of Russia with their vast
hordes endangering Us. No; we shall
remain armed to the teeth foreverr'

CHAPTER ~

The kaiser's Plan for World Dominion
The history Of modern Germany Il
perhaps, In itself sufficient indication
d, the underlying plan OF the Teutoz
war hlrons to control the whole o.
Europe and, eventually, the world. Thu
program has been slowly unfolding 1t
sef since the time of Frederick thu
Great and the present generation l,
now witnessing what was intended Il
be the climax
There can be no doubt that II Ger
many had succeeded In her efforts II
gain control Of the major part Of Du
rope she would have soon looked
toward the western hemisphere and
the east
This program Is fairiy Indicated b,
the course Of events as history layl
them bare, but I have the actual word
Of the kaiser 10 substanuate It.
At one Of his visits to me shortl,
after. the beginning Of the war we were
discussing highlands participation IN
It.
"What hypocrites the English arei'
the kaiser exclaimed.
'.They had always treated me OK
well when / visited them I never, be
neved they would have come into this
They always acted as II they
liked me. MY mother was Nnglish
you know. / always thought the
world was big enough for three Of vi
and we could keep it for ourselves
that Germany could control. the CONT
nent Of Europe, England, through he1
vast possessions and neet, could con
troll the Mediterranean and the fal
east, and America could dominate the
western hemisphere !"
How long it would have been before
Germany would have tried to wrest
dominion from England al readily be
imagined, and with the whole Of Eu.
rope and the far east under her thumb
America would undoubtedly have
proved too tempting a morsel for the
kaiser's or his descendants rapacioua
nav to have resisted. He said that
he believed that the world was "big
enough for three;" he didn't say II
was too big for one.
What was really in his mind, how.
ever, is indicated by a passage in an
address he made some twenty-five
years ago, in which, rs Rev. DR.. New
ell Dwight ELLIS has pointed out, he
used these words:
'From my childhood I have been I'M
der the influence Of five men-Alexan-
der, Julius Caesar, Theodore II, Ma
poleon and Frederick the Great. These
five mel dreamed their dream Of q
world empire: they failed. I am
dreaming my dream Of a world empire,
but I shall succeed"
The kaiser's plan to dominate Eu-
rope included the control Of Turkey,
and he made every effort to strengthen
that country so that she might be q
valuable ally in the war to come.
When Italy took Tripoli from Tur.

Mailed Fist of Kaiser Trying To
Break Down Strike In
Empire.
ULT|MATUM IS ENDED
Although Strikers Spirit Seems
Broken, Clashes With Troops
Are of Frequent Oc-
currence.

London, Feb. 5.-Whether tn,
mailed fist of the kaiser is able to
beat down the empire-wide strike will
settle whether Germany will again
face the world with a solid front.
Despite rigid censorship, reports
which have leaked through from Ber.
lin contain .unmistakable evidence
that Germany is like powder keg.
While under strong repressive mil.
itary measures the general strike ap-
pears to be diminishing In importance,
the strikers are still hitting back with
heroic fury. But the realization that
it is losing fight seems to have
punctured, If not broken, their spirit.
Terrific Tension Continues.
Nevertheless the whole empire con.
tinued in terrific tension, for clashes
between troops and strikers, accord
ing to fragmentary dispatches, were
numerous, and the government and
the bourgeois masses are haunted by
the fears that the soldiers will not go
on indefinitely charging into crowds
OF emaciated countrymen and coun.
trywomen clamoTing for peace and
bread
Today expires the ultimatum OF the
military command to the strikers 20
return to work or take the conse-
quences, which may be summed up
lin indiscriminate shooting to kill''
of anyone found among or near dem.
onstrating crowds.
Already, probably spurred by the
threats of the military authorities Of
drastic action against them, many
workmen are reported to have re.
turned to their duties. and even the
recalcitrant ones are expected. begin.
ming today, to start to work.
Order Terse and Sharp.
In Brandenburg the order OF the
military commander was terse and
| sharp and evidently was intended tc
convey to the strikers the intimation
that the government requires full ef
forts Of workers for further prosecu
! tion of the war.

martial, which is authorized to i'm
pose sentence of death, execution te
take place within "a hours of the time
the sentence is imposed"
Notwithstanding the fact that ship
yard workers in Hamburg In large
numbers returned to their duties, the
latest reports are to the effect tina,
dissatisfaction was SO great that they
again were to have been called out
The lack Of Information from German
sources, however, leaves impossible
of verification whether these mer
