me state this much in justice to

When I made known these views
OF mine to the kaiser, as usual, he
pooh -poohed. saying that the Ger
man masses would recognise the
first Monarchist element seiEing
Berlin and that some Hohensoilern
had a better chance to be declared
the new emperor than anyone Of
the weak-spined southern princes.
LITTLE wILLIE'S SHOW.
Besides these there 10 still an
other Monarchist element which is
plotting on behalf Of the crown
prince.
At times the kaiser betrays fear
that the super r-conspirators behind
the reaction are in reality secretly
supporting the crown princes
aspirations to win the German
throne.
Yet, in spite Of the fact that he
heartily disapproves Of his son,
Macmillan Harden's tearing up Of
the crown princes book caused the
kaiser many an outburst Of
temper.
Harden proved to the German
people that the crown prince never
hesitated to lie in his book when
ever lying seemed to his ad
vantage.
Harden showed that the princes
attempt to represent himself as
the actual and responsible head Of
the army division which bore his
name was completely false. that
the crown prince in his book de-
liberately suppressed vital docu.
ments and included numerous fic.
titious ones.
The kaiser was especially furi-
GUS when he received a German
newspaper in which there was a
quotation of an article con-
tributed to another Berlin news
The Washington times., 1922-09-10

paper in which Macmillan Harden
had attempted to prove from docu-
ments in the Berlin archives that
both Kaiser William and the crown
prince had hereditary insanity.

Especially the following item

furiated the kaiser:
"On many occasions Kaiser
Frederick had declared that his
son was virtually insane and even
after his examination by a board
OF insanity experts headed by the
rector of the Berlin University,
whose doubtful verdict was that
he was capable Of taking care of
his own affairs, Kaiser Frederick
still maintained that the boy was
not fit to rule an empire.
In the archives there are a
number Of unpublished reports
suggesting the advisability Of de-
claring the kaiser, the then crown
prince, insane; but the German
people. always the sheep. or the
Hun, never had the courage.

as late as the year 1908, the ques-

terviews the kaiser always pre-
tended to me that his interest In
the monarchist movements was
the revival of the monarchy Of
Germany and that personally he
was not concerned whether or not
he ever returned to the throne.
While I felt during my stay at
Doom that the political machina-
tions of the Monarchists were men,
acing to the welfare Of the Father
land and that within a short time
some explosion would occur with
consequent bloodshed. there was
one redeeming feature, one hope
for failure Of the conspiracy, and
that was the diversified Monarch.

While the Prussian Militarlsts
ostensibly labored with the Bava-
rian Monarchists, and the two were
financed by the landed barons all
over Germany and Austria. the
three elements had at heart distinct
motives of their own. and I always
felt that sooner or later these
three powerful elements making
up the Monarchist conspirators
would have to fight each other in
the open.

TWO TYPES OF WOMEN.
There are two types Of women
in this strange world: every
woman that ever breathed Is only
a variation Of one type or the
other. One type gives. The other
types takes.
Did you ever realize that when
we define a woman as q snob, we
always mean that she won't give
US something? She won't give us
her society. or her friendship. or
the good things OF her life any
more. and we resent It. Ten
years ago when we met accident

arm in ours confidentially and
said something like this:
