He replied smiling humorously;
Il do not believe in excluding all Ger

There are two reasons for this: First, be-
cause it is good music; and second, be
cause the Germans who wrote it are dead

Bach, Beethoven, Mozart. Schubert,
Schumann and Brahms have nothing to do
with the hellishness of the Hohenzoilern,

I'VE have more right to the heritage of
their beauty than has war mad Germany
OF to-day. We are more their followers
in our ideals and aspirations than the Ger
mans are, and why should We deny our
selves the privilege of listening TO them
simply because the unhappy land from
which they came has since run amuck--
temporarily we hope-from the poisonS of
Nietzsche and Bernhardi?"
"Do YOU consider that modern Germany
has produced any great musc'"
Il do not said Lieut.. Spalding. Mod
ern Germany has produced many clever
musicians, many efficient musicians. but IN
my opinion their lasting value is nil.
"a nation whose avowed purpose is the
triumph of materialism cannot produce
spiritual results worthy of the name and

library at Louvain and pointed the guns

Venice, has for forty years been mailing

"A Germany that would repudate her

"What place do you think America ~

Great Awakening in America.
Most certainly. replied Lieut.. Spad-
ing. Even before the war there was an
awakening throughout America TO the
great need for artistic expression by the
artist himself and artistic experience by the
layman And now more than ever with the
sacrifices and trials and with the puritica-
ton that comes by fire, American men and
women will turn to music for consolation
and for the expression of their thoughts
and ideals. And why should We doubt
that nation that has already produced
great writer's, great painters and great
architects should be able also 10 produce
great musicians?'
''If You will permit personal question,
Mr.. Spalding, will you tell us your own

life and turn to military duties. You say
that you hardly ever touch the violin now.

PREFACE

For IA years the kaiser was
my patient. All l 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 ! felt at first
that, no matter how vital to the
allied cause might be the infor-
nation could give as to the kali
ser's viewpoint. ambitions and
plans, the requirements Of pro-
fessional ethics must seal my
lips and compel me to withhold
1t from the world at large.
When. however, l considered
the grave crisis that cOnfronts
the world and in which my own
country Is playing so important
part. and realized that what l
knew Of the kaiser might prove
Of some value to civilization,
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 qualms were entirely un-
warranted in view of all the cir
cumstanceS.

Getting out OF Germany proved to be
q far more difficult proposition than
had imagined.
Realizing that 1t would probably be
several months before ! could finally
settle up my affairs, and that my child,
who was anemic. ought to be taken
out Of Germany with as little delay as
possible because food conditions were
fast going from bad to worse, APP
piled to the kommandantur for leave to
have my wife and child go to Mon
treux, on Lake Geneva, Switzerland.
where l hoped to join them at the
earliest possible moment and accom-
pany them home. did not relish the
idea of their going across the ocean
without me.
That was in May, 1917. Weeks
passed while our application was going
from one official to another. lying. per
haps for days at time under pile Of
other applications of similar char
acter or awaiting the investigation Of
our personal histories, and it was not
until the end of June that we received
any word regarding 1t. Then we
learned that 1t had been denied.

food of the kind I had eaten In some
time and practically no one In Ger
many outside the royal family and the
junkers was any better OF than I in
that respect.
While was breakfasting, the kaiser
was dressing. His valet entered sew

Giles Of clothing from the massive
wardrobes which lined the room. had
just completed my meal when re-
ceived word that my patient was ready
to receive me.
AS l entered the kaiser's bedroom
he was standing In the center of the
room, fully attired in an army gray
uniform, but without his sword. He
looked more haggard than l had ever
seen him. except once In 1915. Lack
Of sleep and physical pain were two
things with which he had had very
little experience, and they certainly
showed their effects very plainly.

the Germans captured, they claimed,
no less than 100000 prisoners and sew
eral thousand big guns. besides vast
stores of munitions and supplies.
The exultation of the Germans over
the triumph of their armies In Italy
knew no bounds. While 1t was at it's
height had an interview with the kali
ser which will ever remain one OF the
most vivid in my memory.
1t was about three-thirty one Sunday
morning when was aroused by maid
who, in a.. awe-stricken tone Of voice,
announced that the Neue Palais, the
kaiser's palace at Potsdam, was on the
phone. / went to the telephone and
was informed that the kaiser was suf-

send his auto for me within an hour or

big gray Mercedes limousine, arrived.
/ Besides the chauffeur there was an
outrider carrying the bugle whose dis
tinctive notes only the kaiser may use.
While the Shell room and other state
rooms were accessible to visitors be-
fore the war. no one was ever permit
ted to visit the private apartments OF
the kaiser upstairs.
On this occasion, however, l was
guided right through the Shell room,
through door opening on the left and
up a wide staircase to the kaiser's
garderobe, or dressing room.
There / found breakfast ready for
me. 1t consisted Of real coffee. real
