position Of the Bolsheviki par
ty as first composed of innum-
cradle German paid agitators
and propagandists, whose sole
purpose is to reduce the cOun-

second class is composed Of

eXpatriated Russians whom po-

out sharing the motives of
their German leaders, they find
their doctrines quite congeniial.
The third and largest class is a

who have been taught by their
leaders that freedom is a de-
bauch Of idleness. This brief

rol, that he believed it was pos
sible to keep the United States
from entering the war on the
side Of the allies, and that he
was free to do as he chose with
Americans and American ship
ping He was satisfied that
when the time came for settle
ment he could, through his en-
issaries in this country, select
the man or men through whom
the settlement must be made
and who would be properly
sympathetic to the German
cause.
There may be some yet who
are unwilling to believe that
the kaiser had covetous eyes
on America. If there are any
such, the above quotation from
the speech of William II at the
war council in Potsdam in 1908
should be convincing evidence.
Had the kaiser been able to
win the war in France within
a year, as he fully expected to
do, it is altogether probable
that he might, in his own mind
at least, have continued to rule
supreme in the United States.
Unfortunately for him, the war
was prolonged too long and the
hlgh-handed methods with
which it was conducted served
to turn the attention of the en-
tire American-born population
toward the German atrocities
and to build up a sentiment in
this country so overwhelming
as to drown the 100000 Ger
man-made votes with which
the kaiser hoped to continue
his control.

public they are what their uni

Seeking the Spot Light.

1t is strange to what depths
Of triviality men of supposed
common sense will stoop to get
their names into the newspa-
pers and their fOibIes talked
about.
The thought is aptly illus
trated in the aid and comfort
afforded the Germans by a SEN
lie member of the senate from
North Carolina. The old man
has heard whisperings that of
ficers of the army are not tip
ping their hats to privates and
he wakes wroth-all for the
purpose of attracting to him
self some Of the glitter of the
spot light which has been more
or less monopolized by the
army or navy since the United
States got into the war.
What matters it to Overman
that he helps his German
friends to destroy discipline in
the army? Hasn't he and his
kind been privileged to enjoy
the calcium glare uncontested
and unshared these many
years? Why shouldn't he seek
to destroy this thing-the
army-that has come between
him and his precious privilege +?
Overman's resolution Of in
curry is utterly puerile. It bad
two purposes: first. to meddln.
and second. to get Overman s
name back into the public
prints. If he really desired IN
formation concerning the army
regulations. all that was necos-
sarv was for him to call his
clerk and instruct him to Sc

The Kaiser as Americas Ruler

church is responsible for the
finding, in the archieves of the
British government, a secret
report of speech made by the
kaiser at a war council in Pots

monarch declared himself the
ruler Of the United States Of
America. Here are William s
