On the day of the funeral William
played his part like naughty actor,
bringing upon himself, as he passed,

came the celebrations and ceremonies
of his accession to the throne, amid
unprecedented pomp and display,
amid an orgy of proclamations to the
German people, the army and the
navy, amid declarations and speeches.

eign parsonage, but incapable of talk
ing on that subject five minutes with
out becoming absurd. he never was
the realization of any one complete
type. 1t may be objected that love of
parading had been instilled into him
from the cradle. Granted-but he
carried it to the point of madness.
Bismarck saw clearly when he said:
"He is a man who would like to
have a birthday every day, or solemn
professions, or receptions, or parades,
and, in his haughtiDess, the role of
the worlds arbiter would be to his
liking"
His thirst for domination has been
the most powerful motive force I'M
derlying Williams actions. The crav-
ing to be the only master made him
dismiss Bismarck shortly after his &C
cession to the throne; the desire to
be master of the world was to cause
him to unchain the most horrible of
wars.
Long before his accession to the
throne his ambitious and arbitrary
character had made itself clearly ap-
parent; his unworthy conduct with
relation to his father is but another
illustI alton of this.
On the occasion of his first journey
to San Reno, in November. 1887, he
certainly did not conceal his impa-
thence to reign. He behaved like an
4 heir expectantly watching the last
moments of his parent Among the
members of that family which had
about it so little of the Prussian he
never ceased extolling tn qualities of
/ pTJnRn q
peer. This lack of consideration was
habitual with William ii. He did not
leave San Reno until a consultation
had been held which left no doubt as
to the incurable nature of the Crown
| Princes ailment. In May he made a
second journey to San Reno, and he
returned to Berlin just in time to be
present when his grandfather breath

What he (the Kaiser) loved in the
army was the book of regulations, the
little things, the parading, the stiff
carriage. the horseback riding, the
glittering uniforms on the radiant
days when reviews were held. He
shows himself a stickler for extreme
punctuality to degree which led him
often into being ridiculous. On the
morning of his marriage he must

In addressing his troops he never

TO recall warlike virtues. Cultivate
the sentiment of absolute fidelity to-
ward the Supreme War Chief" he
said. "That is your first duty" Al
ways he identified the army with
himself, the nation with himself, all
Germany with himself. Always he
provided the spectacle of human be-
ing who. though lacking the privilege
of genius (Which, in any case, is no
excuse for megalomania), persisted in
trying to absorb into himself an en-
tire nation which had inherited a
great tradition. He said also: 1--WE
belong to each other; the army and
were born for each other; and we
shall remain bound to each other by
an indissoIubIe tie, no matter whether
the will of God gives US peace or
storms"
Obsessed With Divine Mission
The will of God! Not only did he
identify himself with the nation which
after all was made up of men like him
though he, in his greatness, held
them in contemplate he identified
himself even with Godl God was his
colleague. He invoked Him at all
hours, every day, in his palace, on
horseback, pen in hand, debasing the
idea of religion by coupling it with
low theatricalism. 1t has been said
of God that He created the world in
six days and rested on the seventh
That is untrue. On the seventh he
was preparing the divine clay from
which this extraordinary soul was
manufactured God even held Him
self at Williams disposal for inflfct
ing His punishments upon those who
might annoy His representatives on
earth. Assuredly, this was a form OF
madness William obsessed with his
divine mission
A champion of the Germanic race
he devoted himself heart and soul to
this mission He cordially welcomed
all willing to help him in accomplish
ing his task. but: al shall crush those
who seek to thWart me-" Never did
he pause to reflect that his mission

came the habit of thinking about his
own ego"
Absence of matured and presever-
ing will-power. lack of judgment and
real intelligence. overwhelming van
ity and immense pride-those are the
traits which have made of William
being essentially different from his
great ancestors. Yet he delighted in
saying:
"In me, as in my ancestore (the
Great Elector) there is an infIexible
will, and, despite all opposition,
shall keep unswerVingIy to the path
which have decided upon as the
right path"
But never did he have either that
"inflexible will'' or that persistent en-
ergy which. striving always toward
the same goal, made it possible for
Frederick II, William l and Bismarck
to carry out their plans.
He copied their attitude, to be sure,
but, at bottom, he was pitifully weak;
his was weakness which could not
do without support" as Rathenau re-
marks. As tickle in his desires as in
his admirations and antipathies. he
was correctly judged in childhood by
his grandfather, when the latter said:
"He is young man full of tricks,
and he will give plenty of work to
those who undertake to train him."
Alas-not only to them! The young
man full of tricks became the man
of theatrical coups, of brutal and
thoughtless decisions, of obstinacy
born of boundless pride; he became
the man who despises other men
who, to be sure, certainly repay him
in kind. And in all this he shows
signs of incurable weakness.
How His Father Guaged Him
His fantastic ways likewise be
trayed his lack of judgment When
it was proposed to initiate him, at the
age of 81, into affairs of State, his
father, Prince Frederick, who had cor
rectly estimated the intellectual ca
