CHAPTER III-Continued.

Ol course, was 10 IOFeSldll lHe SlOrIl LII condemnation which the Germans knew would follow their use of the bombs on London-a ruse which they had invariably employed whenever they contemplated some fresh violation Of the rules of international law and the dictates of humanity.
 It happened that one of my patients who resided in Baden-Baden called to see me the day after the bombs had been dropped on her town. and she told me all about 1t.
 "The airplanes which dropped the bombs had been flying over the city all the morning." she declared. we thought they were our own machines out for practice and paid no particular attention to them. Then they dropped the bombs and they landed in the woods, and we knew we had been at tackled. What dreadful thing for them to do !"
 What foolish thing for allied air planes to do-to spend a whole morn Ing studying the layout of the town and then to drop those deadly bombs on clump of woods where they could not possibly hurt anyone, and how careless of the Germans not to mOlest them while they were engaged in their devilish work
 But the point I wanted to bring out was this: these gas bombs were never used on London!
 Just as everything was in readiness for the raid" the officer told me re- gretfully, i've received orders direct from the kaiser to hold off saw his signature to the order. Of course there was nothing for us to do but comply, but if we had had the kaiser there, I believe we would have strung him up by the neck We still have those bombs, however, and you may be sure they will yet be used"
 For some unknown reason the kaiser bombs for the time being. Why didn't he move to save the women and chill dren on the Lusitania?
 When I went back to Berlin in the fall of 1915, after visit to the United States, the kaiser was very anxious to ascertain from me just how America felt towards the war.
 I told him that before the sinking of the Lusitania American opinion had been divided. There had been many who were strongly pro-ally, there had been others who were openly pro- German and there had been still oth- CTS who maintained an absolutely neu- tral attitude. After the Lusitania tragedy, however, there had been a distinct change in public feeling, told him, practically the whole country having become decidedly anti-German.
 Perhaps if the U-boat commander had known so many women and chil- dren were on board" was the kaiser's only comment, "he might not have sent forth the torpedo which sent the vessel to the bottom, but what he was think Ing of most, of course, was the 5000 tons of ammunition on board which were destined to slaughter my peo- plel''
 Of course the kaiser knew that if the U-Ooat commanders orders were to sink the Lusitania, disobedience upon his part would have left but one course open for him: suicide. If. on the other hand, the kaiser meant to intimate that the U-boat commander sank the Lusitania on his own initia- tive or without special Instructions from his superiors, the fact still re- mains that the kaiser could undoubt- edly have prevented the tragedy and didn't.
 But if there can be any doubt as to the kaiser's direct responsibility for the sinking of the Lusitania, certain it Is that he fully approved, openly de- tended and even exulted in the murder of women and children by Zeppelin raids on London, Manchester, Liver pool and other non-military cities and towns.
 England expects to starve my women and children to death," he de- clared to me early in the war-long before we in Germany had begun to feel the slightest effect of the dimin- ishing food supply. but our Zeppelins will give their women and children a taste of war, too. Confound them They sit on their island and try to starve us; we will give them a taste of what war Is p
 This was the man whose various acts of consideration towards me. whose talents aud personal charms, had made such favorable impression upon me! How trivial and inconse- quential they all seemed now! Clear ly, they were all part of the role he had been playing for years. While he vas outwardly displaying all the. ear
