Berlin, Oct. 21.-Mark Twain hu-
m~orously extolled the advantages OF a
republican form of government because
it permitted calling even the president
an ass if necessary. On the other
hand a monarchy has an advantage,
too. for only a monarch would BOAST
even after reinforcement of possessing
all goodness, courage and foresight.
Not only does he say so, but ne gets
his estimate printed throughout the
world and is paid higher for 1t than
the most popular movie star would De,
while the latter would become rldlcu-
lous if he attempted such self gloriti-
cation.
Wilhelm's book proves he was:
Chosen of God, anointed of heaven,
t~heologian, philosopher, p~edagogue, ms
torian, hygienist, statesman, soldier,
sailor sbipbuilder, economist, poet,
nainter. musician, architect, engineer,
preacher. costumer, archaeologist, race
psychologist, theater manager, hunter,
horseman, yachtsman, writer, photog,
rainier. cinematographer, and In ali
arts unsurpassed and unsurpassaole.
He foresaw further than RIcheleu,
Washington or Bismarck; killed more
game than Louis XVI; his speeches.
SURPASSED those of Cicero or the ser
mons of Bossueth. If blunders were
made II was because his advice was
| NOT h~earkened to and because the sub
lime omniscience of this man, who
! united the genius of Solomon. Herr
Giles Moses. Buddhah, Jesus, Alexan-
der, Caesar. Napoleon, Newton, Prex-
iteles. Shakespeare, Luther, Hume,
Kent Marcus Aurelius, Lincoln and
all other great men from Adam to Edi-
son. and V Mary Pickford was re.
! strained within the narrow limits OF
the imperial constitution.
You doubt it? He says so himself,
and the king, kaiser and war lord Dy
divine right can only speak the truth.
But his book, Americans exclalm, IS a
complete failure because 1t has NOM
ing really new in it. How wrong TINS
| verdict. / will only point out three
statements that are utterly new TO
everybody. The first:
Alliance Against Germany
The United States made an alliance
Is wears ago with England and (dont
laugh now with Japan against Ger
many. :,
The second, g~ood-natured modest old
| Nlinplm tub lhols II hNfNA 49,
either correct grammar or spelling,
was the greatest intellectual of his
time.
Third, the British warlike intentions
were proyed by the stocks of British
military uniforms in Belgium. And
isn't il equally new that the kaiser,
who calls himself Gods Representatives,
can sell his memoirs at maximum
prices to the newspapers of the people
represented by him as cunning econo-
mics and perjured robbers, and that
the all-highest war lord who fees IN
fear to a foreign country, can preach
from that safe refuge to cOmpatriots
whose ~courageous endurance in the
miseries Of the war is not denied by
their bitterest enemy.
Moreover, nobody can judge the
books Is chapters without knowing the
sixteenth, or decapo movement OF the
crowned virtuous. Here, ladies' and
gentlemen, is an extract theretrom
which may whet your appetites:
"King Edward, my beloved uncle, was
so swollen with envy and hatred
against me that he could not button the
bottom button of his waist coat. Car
Nichols was a weakling who never kept
his words. King Victor Emmanuel was
Jealous of my manly heroic figure and
my sympathy with the popular mood.
President Poincare was blinded with
the besiege of revenge and because of
my fame hated monarchy, while the
little states could not resist the orders
of the big ones, which in turn were
obliged to obey the dictates of the
grand orient of the Masonic lodge and
other jews. But Americans made their
greatest mistake. They would never
have been brought into the wal against
me by Northcliffe, Tardieu & Co.-if
they had known my plans.
Plan to Visit America.
''They will hate with shame and re-
greet when I tell them. Although
know the president of the United
States could not return my visit / in

peace to fly over the land PROSTATE in
the dust in a seaplane and remain four
weeks in the land of the stars and
