GUS in her demands, the kaiser had
great hopes that war with France
might thus be precipitated and he was
confident that England would keep out
of it.
England would be afraid to war
with us, he told me at the time, for
fear of losing Egypt, India and Ireland.
Any nation would think twice before
fighting my armies, but England par
ticularly because she would not dare
o risk the loss of her overseas colo
MES"
When the kaiser's ambitious project
TO dominate the world Is considered,
his consistent opposition to the univer-
sal disarmament proposals is easily
understood. Without superior army
and navy, his whole plan would have
to be abandoned and his dream of
worldwide dominion would be shat
tered.
On one occasion when we were dis
cussng the Carnegie peace efforts,
the kaiser disclosed very positively
just where he stood on the proposition.
Look at the history Of the nations
of the world" he declared. 1.-THE only
nations which have progressed and be-
come great have been warning nations.
Those which have not been ambitious
and gone to war have amounted to
Shortly after Wilson had pointed the
way to peace in Europe in one Of his
notes to al the belligerent powers the
kaiser called to see me professionally
and we discussed that latest phase Of
the situation.
1.-THE way to peace now seems per-
fectly clear" ventured. "Only your
najesty's ever-increasing army and
navy stands in the way. If Germany
will give up her armament, 1t seems,
we would soon have peace"
"That is out of the question for Ger

she could succeed In landing a real
army In France, what good would II
do? America can see how easy it was
for me to break through and to cap
ture 100000 Of the Italians, and they
must realize that / can break through
on the western front and do the same
thing there. If America had kept out
of the war she would have gone on
making untold profits and when peace
was finally declared she would have
been in a most enviable position
among the nations of the world. AS 1t
is, Wilson will never have seat at
the peace table If can help 1t, and
now America shall have to pay all the
costs of the warl" Evidently he imag-
ined that his triumph would be so
complete that there would be no peace
table. but that the warning nations
would be compelled to accept the
terms he offered them, in which event,
knowing the magnanimity of the Ger
man makeup, l should say the world
at large would have to be content with
very little.
How the kaiser feels now that the
failure of the U-boats to intercept
American troop ships must be pain
fully apparent to him, and America
has so overwhelmingly overcome the
shortage of shipping, don't know, but
II is more than probable that for some
time to come the real situation will, at
any rate, be successfully concealed
from the German people. I know that
the failure of the U-boat campaign was
unknown to the Germans up to the
time left Berlin-in January, 1918.
While the kaiser and the Germans
generally felt confident that we would
never be able to send many men
across, they professed to feel little
concern even If we did.
According to some of the German Of
fcers with whom / spoke, even If we
landed 100000 men In France 1t
would not be enough to break the
deadlock, as the Germans were taking
similar number of trained troops
from the Russian front. The only
menace Of American participation in
the war lay in the possibility that we
might add considerably to the allied
air strength. Man power alone, they
coatended. would never be sufficient to
help the allies much. but overwhelming
superiority In the air might occasion
the Germans some annoyance.
The kaiser himself had but poor
opinion of the fighting qualities of the
American soldier so far as modern war
requirements are concerned.
"The American soldier would pos
sibly give good account of himself
In open fighting" he declared, but he
is not built for the kind of warfare he
win encounter in France. He lacks
the stolidity to endure life in the
trenches He is too high-strung and
couldn't stand the inactive life which
is such an important part Of modern
warfare. Besides, he lacks discipline
and trained officers"

CHAPTER TX.

The kaIsers Plan for World Dominion.
The history Of modern Germany Is,
perhaps, in itself sufficient indication
of the underlying plan Of the Teuton
war barons to control the whole OF
Europe and, eventually, the world. The
program has been slowly unfolding It,
self since tho time Of Frederick the
Great and the present generation Is
now witnessing what was intended to
be the climax
There can be no doubt that II Ger
many had succeeded in her efforts to
gain control of the major part of Eu-
rope she would have soon looked
toward the western hemisphere and
the east.
This program is fairly indicated by
the course Of events as history lays
them bare, but / have the actual word
of the kaiser to substantiate 1t.
At one of his visits to me shortly
after the beginning Of the war we were
discussing Englands participation In
1t.
"what hypocrites the English arel"
the kaiser exclaimed.
'1They had always treated me so
well when / visited them l never be-
neved they would have come into this
war. They always acted as If they
liked me- My mother was English.
you know. l always thought the
world was big enough for three Of US
and we could keep 1t for ourselves
that Germany could control the CONT
nent of Europe, England, through her
vast possessions and feet, could con-
troll the Mediterranean and the far
east, and America could dominat the
western hemisphere"
How long it would have been before
Germany would have tried to wrest
dominion from England can readily be
Imagined, and with the whole of Eu-
rope and the far east under her thumb
America would undoubtedly have
proved too tempting morsel for the
kaiser's or his descendants rapacious
nav to have resisted. He said that
he believed that the world was big
enough for three" he didn't say 1t
was too big for one.
What was really In his mind, how
ever, is indicated by passage In an
address he made some twenty-five
years ago, in which, as Rev. DR.. New
ell Dwight Hills has pointed out. he
used these words:
sFrom my childhood have been I'M
der the influence of five men-Aiexan-
der. Julius Caesar, Theodore II, Ma
poleon and Frederick the Great. These
five men dreamed their dream OF a
world empire: they failed. I am
dreaming my dream Of world empire,
hut shall succeed y
The kaiser's plan to dominate Eu-
nope included the control of Turkey,
I md he made every effort to strengthen
that country so that she might be q
valuable ally in the war to come.
When Italy took Tripoli from Tur-
key before the Balkan war men
ti0ned to the kaiser how OPPORTUNITY
Italy had acted, but the Kaiser dis
aased my remark with an exclama-

Four points of "Great tactical inn

Further proof Of the perfdy of
Vienna in announcing recently that

British right flank but because it

ABOUT 100000
Death and Destruction
at Norfolk, By Incen-
diaries, Is Belief
THREE DISTINCT EXPLOS-
IONS IN DIFFERENT BLDGS.
Five Men Arrested And Many Sus-
poets Under Surveillance Of
Officers.

Norfolk, Va, Jan. 2.-Nearly
two blocks in the heart of Norfolk's
business district, including the Mon
ticello Hotel, were destroyed, three
men were killed an da score more
injured in a series of explosions and
fires yesterday which both the police
and naval authorities believe were
incendiary. The fire had been check
ed last night, but still was burning
fiercely in the ruins. The loss is
roughly estimated at more than
S2,OOO,OOO.
Three district explosions in as
many buildings, one after the fire
once virtually had been brought un-
der control, led to the general be-
lief that enemy agents Wee at work
Mayor Mayo placed the city under
martial law and some $500 marines
and bluejackets from nearby naval
stations assisted the police and
home guards in maintaining order
and preventing looting.
Naval patrols rounded up suspi-
cious persons throughout the after
noon, while five men were arrested
as suspects. Two of these, Hugo
Schmidt and H.. X. Lessing, said to
be Germans, were turned over to
department of justice agents. To-
night there were reports that two
Germans had been shot by sailors
during the day, but neither the po-
lice nor naval authorities would
confirm them.
The fire started before dawn in
the Old Cranky Theatre, on CRANKY
street, and gained rapid headway,
Is the firemen were handicapped
by frozen fire hydrants, low water
pressure and near zero tempera-
turc 1t quickly spread to the Moa-
ticello Hotel and other nearby
buildings in the block. 1t was
brought under control late in the
day, but broke out anew early to-
night, leaocd across CRANKY street
and leveled nalf Of the block there
before being checked.
Falling floors and walls took toll
Of fremen and naval guards. One
fireman, Chas. Mccoy, was killed
and seven others hurt in the col
lapse Of an upper floor of the Mon
ticello Hotel in the day and, tonight
two OF the fremen and several sail
ors were caught in a falling wall of
the LenoX Building. Three were
brought out badly burned but two
others were left in the debris.
Firemen of Norfolk, Portsmouth
and Suffolk, with organized sailor
fire brigades, fought heroically amid
ice and binding smoke and blue
jackets led the rescue work when
the fighters were trapped. Several
of the fremen caught in the hotel
were brought ou talive through the
daring of a score of the jacket tars.
