SATAN WRITES TO THE KAISER
fearful ArraigTment OF the German
Emperor.

OF Prussia, Emperor of All Germany
and Envoy Extraordinary OF AL
mighty God
My Dear Wilhelm:
1 can call you by that familia,
name, for ! have always been very
close to you, much closer than Won
could know.
From the time that you were vet
an undeveloped being / have shaped
your destiny for my own purpose.
In the days of Rome 1 created a
| rough neck known in history as Nero
He was a vulgar character and suited
my purpose at that particular time.
| In these modern days a classic de-
mon and efficient per-criminal was
needed, and as l know the Hohenzol
lern blood ! picked you as my spe-
cial instrument to place on earth ar
annex Of hell. 1 gave you abnormal
ambition. likewise an Oversupply oc
egotism that you might not discover
your own failings. l twisted your
mind to that of a mailman with GER
tain normal tendencies to carry you
by. q most dangerous character plac-
ed in power. l gave you the power o.
hypnotist and a certain magnetic
force that you might sway your peo-
pie. l am responsible for the de
formed arm that hangs helpless on
your left, for your crippled condition
embitters your life and destroys al
noble impulses that might otherwise
cause me anxiety. but your strong
cword arm is driven by your ambi-
tions that sQuelch all sentiment an6
pity. l placed in your soul deer
hatred of all things English, for
all%nations on earth 1 hate EnglanC
most; wherever England plants he
flag she brings order out of chaos
and the hated Cross follows the Union
Jack; under her rule wild tribes be-
come tillers Of the soil and in due
time practical citizens; she is the
great civilizer of the globe, and I hate
her. I planted in your soul a crue'
hatred of your mother because she
was English, and left my good
friend Bismarck to fan the flame
had kindled. Recent history prove
how we'll our work was done. Il
broke your royal mothers heart, but
1 gained my purpose.
The inherited disease of the Hohen
zollerns killed your father, just as i;
will kill you. and you became thc
ruler of Germany and a tool of mine
sooner than / expected.
TO assist you and further haste
my work l sent you three evil spir-
its, Nietzsche, Tdeitschke, and late
Bernhardi, whose teachings inflameC
the youths of Germany. who in gooC
time would be willing to spill theil
blood and pull your chestnuts, your.
and mine. The spell has been per
iect. You cast your ambitious eyes
toward the Mediterranean, Egypt. In
dia and the Dardanelles, and YOU be.
gan your great railway to Bagdao
out the ambitious archduke and his
more ambitious wife stood in your
way. 1t was then that I sowed tn
seed in your heart that blossomed int
the assassination of the duke and hi.
wife, and all hell smiled when it saw
how cleverly you saddled the crime
onto Serbia. l saw you set sail fol
the fjords of Norway, and I knev
You would prove an alibi How clev
erly done; so much like your noblo
grandfather, who also secured an as
sasin to remove old King FredericN
~ Denmark, and later robbed thai
country Of two provinces that gave
Germany on opportunity to become
a naval power. Murder is dirty WORK
but it takes a Hohenzollern to maxi
a way and get by with it.
Your opportunity was at hand; you
set the world on fire and the bells Of
hell were ringing; your attack OIL
Belgium caused much joy: it was tn
beginning, the foundation of a per.
feet hell on earth; the destruction
noble cathedrals and other infinite
works Of art was hailed with joy H.
the internal regions. You made war
on friend and foe alike, and the mur-
der of civilians showed my teaching,
mad borne fruit. Your treachery to-
wards neutral nations hastened a uni
versal upheaval. the thing I most de
sired. Your undersea warfare is {;
master stroke from the smalles
niackerel boat to the Lusitania YO'
show no favorites; as war lord you
stand supreme. for you have no mer
