Wakeful consciousness. But he had
grown old. His charm, which he had
always overrated, lost its effective
ness. He could not keep up the role
of the young, impulsive kaiser. nor
make the transition to the old parts.
And without a part he could not get
along.
Invented Fatal Lie.
How the war, whose hardshiDs and
dangers he dreaded, was made appe-
tizing for him is another chapter.
Also how he ragged and trembIed
through the war between Illusions of
triumph and fear of the near ABYSS.
The kaiser is not the instigator of
war, but from the fear to secure him
self and his crown against danger.
he did invent the fatal lie that "War
was forced upon the German people
by the London surprise attack, after
a long conspiracy" an unforgivable
lie, which has driven even honest
men and gentle women to the belief
that In self-preservation against such
treachery everything was permits
sable, no law or custom binding, the
worst atrocity hardly atrocious
enough.
No Value in Trial.
This lie was Williams latest trick
cry, his desertion to Holland his last
stupidity. He had never learned
sense OF duty or awe. Whence should
realization have come to him that
treaties are to be respected as spir-
itual and arIisFlc monuments, to be
carefully preserved? The man who
ordered the break into Belgium,
Belgium, the sinking of the Lusitania,
the firing on the cathedral of Rheims,
was the same who hauled Bismarck
out of bed and scOlded him like tru-
ant schoOlboy and chased him out OF
the service like thieving lackey.
Should one place him before court
and punish him, make a martyr of
him? He is not the stature for a st.
Helena. The return from Elba was
only possible because the allies of
1914 took such harsh attitude
against the emperor's person, from
whom people angrily turned away, af-
ter Waterloo. Is not an idol no long
er surrounded by servants punished?
Williams shining role is played out,
If one suffers him as a rich man with
all his costumes, orders and actors
and laurels to condemn himself to
self-chosen exile
After the Verdun failure, when his
encourage wanted to persuade him to
appoint Ludendorff as generalissimo.
Hindenberg roaring at me when /
make my entry through Brandenburg
gate"
On the Brandenburg gate now pla-
the kaiser exclaimed: 81 can't have
dent Socialists. His majesty keeps
court at Amerongen, and the kaiser's
sailors only shrug their shoulders
when non-com. of his hireling army
says, Williams going to get it in the
neck"
The deserter is scorned. But pity
and national pride would be effect

WHILE EUROPE STARVES
so. AMERICA BURNS
CORN AS FUEL

BuenOS AireS-While Europe starves
or at best is poorly fed corn is being
burned here by the trainloads instead
of coal because it makes good fuel
and coal is scarce. Scarcely dozen
ships carried out corn in three months
because of the dock strike.
AS coal became scarce and cold for
$50 ton, as ships could not be found
to bring it from the United States,
those who needed fuel turned to corn
cobs and straw From burning the
stripped cob to shoveling the unshell-
ed maize into furnaces was short
step, especially since the dcarth of
ships and consequent difficulty of
shipping the maize away, helped to
keep prices down.
Despite the trouble in shipping the
maize in quantities that were export
ed before the war, when Germany and
Scandinavia we've the largest buyers,
the Argentine farmers have gone on
growing the corn, even increasing
the area devoted to it. Today the
price of maize, harvested by the farm
ers, is something like 40 cents hun
dred pounds. That is for the "corn
on the cob
To sell it roes not pay; far better
to sell it at $3.50 ton for fuel. There
are buyers for fuel.
For the last two seasons trainloads
of corn on the cob have been hauled
from the country to the city by loco
motives fired by maize and wood. In
the city maize is being burned to
raise steam to generate electricity.
You can tell who is burning the gold
en- grain by the yellowish-brOwn visit
which hangs over the chimney stacks.
At the gas works they are feeding
the retorts with maize, wood and pc
troleum to produce gas Of poor
quality and vicious odOr.
Over in Europe there are food RI
OTIS because grain is not obtainable
Argentine could send them all they
want, at prices they would be glad
to pay, but it is burned. Truly the
world is out of joint.

the best viewpoint for a retrospect
upon his life. A cripple, his left arm
almost lifeless and quite unusable, he
cannot dress or undress alone He
must employ an instrument combin-
ing knife and fork to eat. Further.
from his youth bad ear ailment has
troubled him. This misfortune he
conceals as if it were disgrace. In
MS opinion prince, king or kaiser
must show no weakness. It would
shake the faith of the divine right of
rulership.
What strength of will this prince
mas ne uses up in concealing his phys
zeal defects. He cannot mount a
horse without help, and plays as a
master of Craftsmanship. He can
hardly hold rifle-must rest it on a
fork which lackey deity places be-
fore him-yet the court hunting reg
lister shows unheard of bags of game,
the victims of his gun. The best rid
er, hunter, tennis, golf, football play
er-all "theater"-all for show. This
habit of untruthfulness necessarily
resulted in inability to live in simple
truthfufness. He who pretends a
character which nature denied him,
before court or nation or the
earth, becomes either a comedian or
a tragedian. UntruthfUlness, theatri-
cality, insOlent greed for sensuous ex-
periences are,xthe only misfortunes
that could be harvested from such
seed.
Eager Tor Praise, Applause.
Perhaps the result would not have
been so terrible had Kaiser Friedrich
lived and bridled his son to modesty.
His death left dangerous gap
through which soon blew an evil
wind, a hasty breath of cagerness for
show, pomp, effect, applause. While
his father was on his deathbed the
Crown Prince William lets himself
be acclaimed on the streets as the
leader of the troops, and against all
the traditions of the Hohenzollern
house advertises himself, his speech
es padded thick with phrases even
about his children. This advertising
drove me to write my first article,
and into the career Of pUblicist.
The article entitled The Heir Of By
zantium, sharply attacked William,
whom | later was supposed to have
so grievously ''insulted" that / was
twice imprisoned in a Vistula fortress
six months each time.
Today, in Germany's darkest
spring, I am comforted over my many
all too human mistakes by the fact
that I never mistook the two men
whose names for all eternity will hor-
rify and shine at the beginning and
at the end of the world war, the shin
ing, ordering, saber-rattling war lord
and the simple peace bringer in a
black PROFESSIONAL coat; that despite
all abuse and threats, I was always
against William, always for Wilson.
Cheapens MOnarchy's FictiOns.
The kaiser not only wants . be
called world wonder, but really to
be one. He cheapens the hoary fic-
tons of monarchy by their daily use
on every insignificant piece of paper
He calls himself imperator and Rex,
and feels himself as such in every
hour too as poet, painter, sculptor,
composer, strategist, soldier, archi-
tect, pedagague, historian, ship con-

structOr, admiral, sailor, o-stor,
horseman, social welfare politician,
theologian, AssyriC.ogist and Saas-
krit discoverer. William is all in all
far ahead Of the most expert i'll every
field, carries all wisdom, science and
art locked in his breast, and always
wears the right costume for the part
and moment. If he had been insane,
the clinical picture must have chang
ed, but In thirty years he is unchang-
ed; he has remained the same
BY no means stupid, of quick per-
ception, and with an unassorted heap
OF knowledge and half knowledge and
as wise as vain, seeking after effect,
and with an Unsuitable appetite for
the parade than can be about him. he
tolerates only blind admirers, a swarm
of sweetishly sly darlings.
In the conversations and letters of
these half-men from morn till night
incense steams from their mouths for
him at once for deity, but he makes
the best of every real power which
does not soften under his pressure.
Wealth impresses him; many an Am
erican Croesus has received bags of
compliments from him.
MiSled His People.
With the power of the people, too,
this anxious compromiser would get
along, but this people never shows a
serious will to use its power. The ma
TONS wealth increases fabulously,
therefore one gives his majesty free
reign and lets itself be infected by
Williams worst qualities, his AFRO
gance, boastfulness, ostentatious pi-
ETY. without Christian humility. his
yearning for effect, Electrically, his
need of applause, until the thorough,
too patient German people resemble
from distance a horde of plunderers
of business, and grimacing movie ac-
tors; until the fragrance of a nation
of poets and thinkers-Kant, Goethe,
Bach and Mozart-has vanished and
given way to the vapOrs of a barbar-
ism of science and technology, and
the world condemns the people along
with the kaiser.
Williams policy was driven on by
double desire to be throned in eternal
splendor, without other gods beside
him, and to avoid all trouble, all in
terruption of comfortable enjoyment
of life. The motto of the court and
OF the highest officers of the empire
was His majesty needs SUM-
A Birthday Every Day.
His majesty wanted to hear nothing
unpleasant and punished every bring
er of bad tidings. He wanted to be
amused, homaged, distracted, fed on
flattery, show himself off, make
speeches and wear new uniforms.
Germany never saw him for an hour
in civilian clothes. He wanted to out
shine other monarchs in their own
capitals, wanted to indulge in trium-
plant entries, in the dwellings of
monuments, be seen at land and wa
ter sport meetings, at excavations of
antiques carefully buried beforehand
for him. He wanted his birthday ey-
cry day, and last, but not least, read
his name in the paper every morning
and evening.
Undeniably, he believed he was
serving his country, with whose inter-
ests his own were inseparably bound,
and did not bring about the war with
