PREFACE

For IA years the kaiser was
my patient. All I 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
It from the world at large.
When, however, 1 considered
the grave crisis that confronts
the world and In which my own
country is playing so important
. part, and realized that what 1
knew of the kaiser might prove
Of some value to civilization, 1
concluded that my patriotic duty
Was paramount and rose su-
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.

CHAPTER II
The Kaiser at Pots,

Getting out Of Germany proveu u De

had imagined.
Realizing that It would probably be
several months before / could finally
settle up my affairs, and that my child,
who was anemic. ought to b taken
out Of Germany with a. little delay ~
possible because food conditions were
fast going from bad to worse, l APP

U. S.-Or pianos?
 B. J.-No.
 U. S.-Or books, whole libraries, and pictures?
 B. J.-Nor these things either.
 U. S.-This being thus, these necessaries and luxuries, which the Socialist Republic has in its fold for the people, not being of the nature of hail storms that drop down from the skies, it follows that to enjoy them they must come from some other source, en?
 B. J. (Puckering his brows) )- Certainly.
 U. S.-And what source do you imagine that must be?
 B. J.-What source?
 U. S.-Yes, what source?
 B J.-W-e-l-l-
 U. S.-Out with it!
 B. -Well,-Labor.
 U. S.-Yes, Labor. (CrossiEg his arms and beaming down upon B. J.) Now, if you are kindly disposed would you mind enlightening me how it is possible for people to en- joy all thesc neccssal ies and lux uries in the Socialist Republic, all these necessaries and luxuries that require Labor to produce them, and yet not need any activity for gett- ing them?
 B. J.-(Remains silent.)
 U. S.-I'm listening.
 B. J.-(Mumbles.)
 U. S.-Have you turned ventri- oquist? The sounds I hear seem to come from the region of your belly. No answer? Then, me gay sailor boy, let me tell you this: The pamphlet you were reading wasn't at all Socialist pamphlet. You can't stuff me. You have been reading some political parsons or professors slush, and, like an un- thinking booby, you swallowed it as you would a country sausage. Wealth cannot exist without Labor; to have wealth to enjoy Labor must have been exerted. The Soc ialist Republic is not a compend- ium of miracles. The stimulus to work will be there, infinitely more than today.
 B. J.-More?
 U. S.-Yes; I say more because the stimulus to work consists in the desire to enjoy wealth. Today it is the saod experience that wealth the product of Labor but the reward of idleness, seeing that the capitalist grabs it all. Now go and throw your wondrous pamphlet into the fire.

cqualizing one another in both cases, will have the same price.
 Gold is like everything else a commodity first; it is a medium of exchange afterwards. It pos sesses definite value like all other articles, and the value of this gold commodity depends upon the amount of labor uesd up in its pro- duction of gold pound for pound in relation to former years has di- unfinished greatly, recent discoveries in metallurgy, more numerous pro ductive gold fields, increased out put owing to improved machinery has reduced enormously the labor cost of gold and increased enorm- ously the amount produced in ex- actly the same ratio. The medium of exchange has diminished in value, and to express the exchange value of an article which has not similarly decreased it's labor cost of production, more monetary or gold units are necessary.
 The real standard of value or exchange of commodity is not gold, is not money. 1t is the amount of socially necessary labor power congealod in The production of the commodity, and as labor itself var les in value there cannot be any such thing as a constant unit, Scientists for example measure heat by thermal units That never varies, for it takes an invariable stcndard. A thermal unit, called an English thermal unit, is the aacunt of heat required to raise cubic foot of water at a definite atmospheric pressure one degree centigrade If we could have a standard value similar to this, an lnvari; .blc vs ue unit, ell this troub- le concerning the coats of living would be easily handled.
 Not only that, but in spite of the relative lessering of the labor costs of production of all commcd- tics due to labor saving devices, none of the other necessary commodities except in exceptional years and under exceptional co3ditioEs equal the relative amount of gold pro duction at a reduced cost of labor production. Furthermore under th.s benign system what invention procures on the one side of human ,ty, capitalism takes away in an other. For example labor saving ma chine , produces 90 mary more bushels of wheat for SO much less labor costs and at once the laId owner puts up his rent. The rcduc- ton in the cost of production re- sults net in the placing upon the market of a commodity at a re- duced cost for the consumer, but Il tho increasing the profits and the bank roll of tho owner.
 Weelth production today is great CT than ever before, but tho distri- button is less general than ever be- fore. Where labor savnig devices have actually lorsened the cost CT articles, by demanding their greater and grc;.ter share, the capitalist has added to hi3 profits immensely. This is for him tho golden 2ge, for tie real producer, the age or stone.

1 Republican, alrasr? B.. J.-No; this time it was a So- cisIist affair. U. S.--And silly?
 B. J.-Ycs. don't mean to scy that everything was silly No. it had good mary passages. But therc was q decidedly silly warp tnat run through the whole wool. Just think of Socialism in force! Why, the stimulus for work would be killed like a doornail, and lie flat like a pancake It is for that reason that I consider the Social ist pamphlet to be silly thing.
 U. S.-And you'd you mind ex- blaming why you think Socialism would have that effect upon stim- ulus.
 B. J.-Bccause if everything is provided for a man, he will not have 10 display any activity for getting it.
 U. S.-Correct. But you have not yet proved even this case. Iris true that if everything is provided for a man he need not bother about getting
 B. J. Just so-
 U. S.---But you must first prove that under Socialism everything is 50 provided for the people that they don't need to bother about getting it. Now go ahead and prove to me that Socialism will provide things without the peoples having to bother about them at all
 B. Well, will it not provide everything that people need?
 U. S.-NEED? Under the Soci- alist Republic the people will have rot what they NEED merely, but LUXURIES to boot.
 B. J.-exactly. That's what l thought is the idea, and it makes my case all the stronger. U. S.-Suppose you mention somcof those necessaries and lux uries.
 B. J. Among the necessaries- shoes, clothing, hats, food, housing medicine.
 U. S.-And among tho luxuries :?
 B .J.-EveTythil.g else: Pianos, concerts, operas, pictures, books, parks, librarc3 baths, gardens.
 U. S.-Any more of either
 B. J.-Isn't that enough?
 U. S.-Vcry well; we shall be satisfied with that. Now answer me catogorically; You have heacd of hail dropping down from the skies eh? B. J.-Ye5.
 U. S.-Did you ever hear of boots and shoes dropping down from the skies?
 B. J.-No.
 U. S.-Or hats?
 B. J.-No.
 U. S.-Or beefsteaks and loaves of bread?
 B. J.-No. U. S.-Or houses fully furnished?
 B. J.-No.
 U. S.-Or quinine pills and St. Jacobs Oil?
