(The publication of the third of
Bismarcks memoirs, in which he
predicted the ruin of the German
empire if william III remained
upon the throne, has stirred Ber-
lin, and the republican government
is being urged to make full use of
the volume in combating the
monarchist plot. The publication
of this volume was prevented by
the kaiser in his hey-day of glory
but it has come out now, and Bis
marck's own words are castigl-
ton of the man who willed the
war in 1914 but today is an exile
at Doorn.)
Berlin, Oct. left the govern
ment of this German republic does
not at once use the third volume
of Bismarck's memoirs, just now

delayed by the tricks of Kaiser
wilhelm, it must never complain OF
new dangers in its young life. !
have advised the government 70
select those parts of the BOOK
which indicate the character of
monarchy and of the last mqnarcA
in particular, and to circulate them
free, or if necessary, as paid sup
plements to the official papers.
They should be distributed to all
classes of Germans, even those
abroad.
Unfortunately this is not being
done-as yet. Fear of the nation
alist party furies, who, if they do
not use the whip, the dagger or
tar and feathers, nevertheless try
to terrorize the more timid of our
public officials and thus prevent
any strong agitation against the
old regime, of which only mem
ory of power and glory remains
after seven years of suffering.
In Bismarck's third volume we
read of how the young Prince
wilhelm, reproached by his father
for his immaturity, his presump-
ton and his vanity, becomes en-
peror and is about to rule great
people as he chooses, being pro-
tected from criticism by his inner
tied name and the old superstition
of special conservation known as
"the divine right of kings"
We see the young ruler dismiss
ing roughly the old pilot VINO
steered the ship of state prudentlY
through storm and fog, and ap-
pearing himself as the captain
"whose steering causes apprehen-
sion among the crew, but sits
lighting a cigarette on a powder
barrel"
These are Bismarck's words.
Moreover he describes the third
as vain and cruel, un-
truthful and flattery loving. Yet
Bismarck calls himself monar-
chist. Certainly he is a monarchist
of an unusual kind.
When Wilhelm I was made en-
peror of the German empire after
the first treaty of Versailles, that
frank and honest monarch was
angry with the iron chancellor
because Bismarck had been UNI
on the question of titles,
though he had saved the Prus-
sian throne and had made Wilhelm
the first German kaiser Bis
thereupon refused further
to speak to the emperor and ig-
nored him. Already after Prus-
sia's victory over Austria. Kaiser
wilhelm and his general staff had
displeased the ministers who had
been wanting to end the war af-
ter the battle of Koeniggratz and
not make Austrian annexations nor
triumphantly into Vienna.
Bismarck's long struggle against

only in the background for civil
ans at the German court, and
therefore, Bismarck wore a uni
