of his speeches long before as well
as after the beginning OF the, war.
OF these, perhaps, none more clearly
defined his claim that his notorious
divine righth" speech delivered at
Erandenburg in 1890, in which he said
he regarded the German people as "A
responsibility" conferred upon him
by God and that it was my, duty to
increase this heritage for which one

account. Those who try to interfere
with my task | shall crush"

Joseph b. Coghlan of the United
States Navy when, returning from
the war with Spain and telling of the
clash with the commander of the Ger
man squadron at Manila Bay, the
captain recited the famous poem,
"Hoch Der Kaiser" In this the con
cluding refrain was. in the supposi-
tious words of the Emperor:
"Gott pulls nit me-and l NIT him
MEINSELF-Und Gott."
Few statesmen realized then that

military system, cementing the Cen
trail Empires and Turkey, and foster
ing the preaching of the supremacy
that one day would make war upon
all civilization.
World Had Deed Warned
Yet the world was warned by some
far-signted men that the Emperor
would one day bring catastrophe upon
the nations. These men saw in him
then and see him now as mad in
ventor given in his youth the most
dangerous of all toys - his army and
navy. They were his playthings. He
developed them throughout the years
to the point where he had to put them
to test. Like a craZed inventor,
he feared the end of his reign would
find his inventions untried; 80 grasp
ed the first opportunity to wage a
world war
Meantime the German war party
grew with William as It's head, and
the scheme of world dominion await

Austrian Archduke, Francis Ferdin-

leaving the Moline station at 9.45
