The Chronicler editorial lays the
square on the ex- kaiser's statement

the compass as follows:
Several statements of the muir

In the first place there is no body Of
Masons in the world known as the

dent Wilson is not NOW nor ever has
been a member of TIE Masonic fra

Wilson himself is authority for this
statement and his name cannot -
found in the records of any Masonic
lodge in the United States
Before the war the Masons of
France were not in fraternal relations
with the Masons Of England nor the
United States. This means that the
grand lodge of England and the diff
ferent grand lodges of the United
States and, in fact. the majority OF
the grand lodges of Masons through

hold any masonic intercourse with
