from his minister at Belgrade that
Serbia was about to mobilize, ordered
the German feet to prepare to return

This dispatch from the German
minister at Belgradel described the
events at Belgrade since the presenta-

kaiser summed up his feelings upon
getting this dispatch in jotting down
these words:
"If your exccuency shares my
view" the kaiser added, Il suggest
that Austria be told that Serbia has
been compelled to withdraw and we
offer our congratulations on this re-
suit We should further say. of course,
that a state of war no longer exists,
but at the same time a guarantee is

that the kaiser ia personally RESPONSE

He may not have thought that it
would involve the world when he
urged Austria to take revenge upon
Serbia. But he could easily have fore.
seen and probably did foresee that IL
would involve other nations than SIM
ply Austria and Serbia.
OF course. ne knew Russia's attitude
towards any impending conflict be-

be done with the man that has precipi-
tated the greatest and most cruel war
in history?
Since his abdication. this Moloch has
rested in comparative comfort, peace
and security.
His was the baneful influence which
has cost the world such untold sacri.
