PREFACE

For IA years the kaiser was
my patient. All / know of him
and all that he told me came to
me while the relation of patient
and dentist existed between us.
For that reason i felt at first
that, no matter how vital to the
allied cause might be the infor-
nation could give as to the kali
9 ser's viewpoint. ambitions and
plans, the requirements OF pro-
fessional ethics must seal my
lips and compel me to withhold
1t from Oe world at large.
When. however. l considered
the grave crisis that cOnfronts
the world and In which my own
country is playing so important
u part. and realized that what l
knew Of the kaiser might prove
of some value to civilization, I
concluded that my patriotic duty
was paramount and rose SUI
perior to any Of the ordinary de-
mands of professional ethics.
In this conclusion was
strengthened by the urgent solicit
tation of the leaders of my pro-
fession who were most emphatic
In their contention that my
ethical quaims were entirely un-
warranted In view OF all the cir
eumstances.
