PREFACE

For IL years the kaiser was
my pntient. 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 mt first
that. no matter how vital to the
allied cause might be the infor-
nation l could give us to the kai-
ser's viewpoint. ambitions and
plans. the requirements Of pro-
fessIonnl ethics must seal my
lips and compel me to withhold
1t from the world nj lnrge.
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
knew OF the kaiser might prove
of some value to civilization, I
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
tatlon 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 nll the cir
cumstances.

"The Fathers of this Republic, men
