George, that 1 talk 10 YOU because

the emperor's views during the last
three years, from 1911 to 1914. In
1910 the Emperor William could still

1912. a different note is already
sounded Not inconsiderately must

six months after the Morocco con-

The person addressed by the
emperor 1.-THE king of the Belgiansl
had thought up till then, as did all
the world, that William IL, whose
personal influence had been exerted
on many critical occasions in sup
port OF peace, was still in the same
state of mind. He found him this
time completely changed. The Ger
man emperor is no longer in his
eyes the champion of peace against
the warlike tendencies of certain
parties in Germany. William IL has
come TO think that war with France
is inevitable, and that it must come
sooner or later. Naturally he be-
lieves in the crushing superiority of
the German army and in its certain
success.
Gen. Won Moltke spoke exactly
in the same strain as his sovereign.
He, too, declared war TO be neces-
sary and inevitable, but he showed
himself still more assured of sue
cess. For he said to the king LAl-
bert Of Belgiuml, this time the mat
ter must be settled and your ma
jesty can have no conception of the
irresistible enthusiasm with which
the whole German people will be
carried away when that day
