Time, that irresistible force which chronicles He events
of the world with the relentless revolutions Of its cycles,
brought on the greatest tragedy and crime which human
kind had known since the day upon which the Son Of Man
was murdered upon infamy's tree-the crime which was
wrought when Kaiser Wilhelm, of Imperial Germany, hurled
the Chrsianized world into the vortex of a war on Humanity
