CHAPTER w.
America Disappoints Kaiser.


The kaiser assembled the throne In
1888. For twenty-six years his reign
was unmarried by a single war, al
though twice during that period, once
in 1905 and again in 1911, he nearly
succeeded in precipitating conflict.
Subsequent developments have
brought out clearly enough that during
all these years of peace, the kaiser
was only awaiting the opportune mo-
ment to bring on war.
Germany's preparation consisted not
merely in building up her army and
navy and developing military spirit
In her people, but in trying to estab-
fish friendships abroad where they
would do the most good in the event
of q world war.
The German military preparation
was more or less obvious. The kaiser
was always it's warmest advocate and
frankly admitted that 1t was his inten-
ton to remain armed to the teeth, al
though he protested to me many times
that his sole object was to maintain
the peace of the world.
In 1913, for instance, / was In The
Hague when Carnegie delivered a
palace, in the course of which he de-
clared that the kaiser was a STUN
bling-bloek in the way of world peace.
When / got back to Berlin / mention
ed the fact to the kaiser, hoping to
draw him out.
eyes, know exactly what Carnegie
said at The Hague" he replied rather
testify, "and I don't like the way he
spoke at all. He referred to me as the
war lord and said I was standing in
the way of world peace. Let him look
at my record Of twenty-five peaceful
years on the throne! No, the surest
means to maintain the peace of the
world is my big army and navy, Other
nations will think twice before going
to war with us!" The fact that he had
previously accepted 5,0OO,OOO marks
from Carnegie for the furtherance of
universal peace didn't seem to occur
to him.
And the world at large learned more
or less of German intrigue and propa-
ganda since the war, but it is not gen.
orally known that the same sort of
thing was going on even more actively
In time of peace. Countless measures.
of the most subtle and insidious char
acter, were taken TO lulI into a sense of
false security the nations she intended
eventually to attack and to inspire fear
in or command the respect of nations
which she hoped would remain neutral
or might even be induced to throw in
war.
In this phase Of Germany's prepara-
ton for war, the kaiser took leading
part.
1t is a fact, for instance, that prac-

This was the man whose various
acts of consideration towards me,
whose talents aud personal charms,
had made such a favorable impression
upon me! How trivial and incense
quential they all seemed now! Clear
ly, they were all a part Of the role he
had been playing for years. While he
was outwardly displaying all the ear
marks of gentle character, he was
inwardly plotting to dominate the
world. For twenty-five years he main

Quently boosted. He maintained peace
just long enough to complete his final
preparations for the wickedest war
that was ever waged!
And yet strangely enough, even after
the war had revealed the kaiser to me
In his true colors and had shown him
to be capable of deeds which l should
have thought were foreign to his ma
ture, his presence always had a most
remarkable effect upon me.
have a vivid mental impression of
him now as I write. He is standing in
the center Of my room, drawn up to his
full height, his shoulders thrown back,
his left hand upon the hilt of his
sword and his right emphasizing his
remarks, protesting in the most earn
est manner that 1t was not he who was
responsible for the war and all its
horrors, but that it had come upon
the world despite all he had done to
prevent it. His ready, well-chosen
words entrance me, l feel that this
man must be telling me the truth and
l am ready to believe that before me
stands the most unjustly judged man
In the world.
And then he shakes my hand in fare
well and is driven away, and as gaze
at the spot where he stood, there comes
before my eyes the desolation of Bel
GUM, the tragedy of the Lusitania, the
despoliation of France and Poland, the
destruction of women and children In
London and Paris and a thousand and
one other atrocious deeds which belle
the kaiser's fair words, and I realize
that have been talking to the worlds
most finished actor and have simply
been bewitched by the power OF bis
personal magnetism.

Mr.. McWhorter of the Tampa Tri-
bune is brilliant and forceful writer.
AS writer. he is much on the style
Of Pericles as speaker. 1t was said
Of Pericles that he could argue so
reasonably and seductively that he
could make people disbelieve the evil
denec of their own eyes. What Peri
cles could do with his voice, Mac can
do with his typewriter, except to
some cranky old Diogenes like our
self. However, we admire Mac, even
when we don't agree with him, and
we want him to write an article on
'The Advantages of Nepotism, or
Why Governor Should Appoint his
Relatives to Office" Reading it would
be literary feast.

The feat of saving $500 soldiers
from a sinking ship, as was done by
British and American sailors when a
transport loaded with American
troops was torpedoed off the coast Of
Ireland the other day, has never
been equaled in nautical annals, and
a year ago even seamen would have
thought it impossible. To those who
have friends and relatives going to
France, we can truthfully say they
may be sure that our government
and those of the Allies regard the
lives of their soldiers as exceedingly
precious and will throw away almost
anything to save a man.

One of Ocala's prettiest young la
dies, smart business girl and So
ciety belle, gets up every morning at
6 o'clock and saws wood. She also
says nothing, it taking all her breath
at the time to push and pull the saw.
Her purpose in this severe labor is
first to obtain needed exercise; sec
ond, to save that much work that an
able-bodied man could do. We do not
know any way in which a pretty girl
can more completely prove her pat
riotism than by saving wood. 1t is
some work.

The action of Gov. Cats in ap-
pointing his son-in-law tax collector

piece of nepotism ever perpetrated in

place; it is an imposition on the en-
