Of ourse I was In no position to

four American newspaper correapond

effort to run down these report*. They
left no rumor unlnveatlgated, no mat

they had lint found a single case to
justify the charge the kaiser had made
against th« Belgian» and which, of
course, the Inspired German pres» con
ttaued to report from day to day.
The object of the«» lies was to Jus

Some of the arguments the kulser
; rabti-d In his discussions with me re
garding the war were so weak and
j untenable that one might well doubt
j hls sincerity In urging them, but
j «hall give them for what they are
worth.
''They refer to us as the Huns!" the
kaiser observed bitterly. "If your
people could see what the Russians
have done In the Bukowina and east
ern Prussia they would know then
who are the real Hunt 1 They de
stroyed everything they could lay
their hands on.

"lustcad of treating their soldiers
us prisoners of war we should huve

one of them !"
Several prominent Poles, who were
patients of mine and whose fine es
tates In Poland were haded aud de
tnollshed, told me positively that the
destruction and depredations were
committed entirely by German troops.
The Russians had occupied the houses

what extent the kaiser was
dlris-tly responglhle for that dastardly
crime, but from whut he said regard
ing the capture of another British cap
tain, the commander of the Harulong,
It was quite evident that he was lu
entire sympathy with acts of that
character.
A German U-boat had sunk a Brit
ish vessel upon which were Rome of
the relatives of the crew of the Barn
long. The crew of this U-boat was
subsequently captured by the Barn

appreciates getting something for
nothing,
"Roumanla wanted our gold for food
products," he told me. "They deiuuad

prices on their wares ; but we needed
what they had to sell and we were
ready to pay even the outrageous

spoke to Illndenburg about the con

\ citing campaign.* It was. We got all
we wanted and didn't have to pay a

The kaiser beamed all over as be

I couldn't help thinking of the
whole nations" which had been ub
solutely crushed under the kaiser's
heel of Belgium, 8ervla and Poland,
The kaiser never admitted thut the
destruction of the Lusitania was a re
auit of special Instructions from him
to the U-boat commander, but in dis
cussing the general subject of suhma
rlne warfare he asked :
"What right have Americans to take
passage on these vessels, anyway? If
they came onto the battlefield they
would not expect us to stop firing,
would they? Why should they expect
any greater protection when they en

I have previously referred to the
kaiser's defense of the use of Zeppe

nonrnllltary cities. He claimed that
was proper to make war on clvîTîans,

CHAPTER VI.
Democracy's Worst Enemy.
The great military machine which
the kaiser had built up during the first
20 years of hls reign "fur the purpose
of maintaining peuce" was constantly
Itching for war. There was a feeling
among the militarists that while It
was all right for the kaiser to assume
the role of the "Prince of Peace" dur
ing the period of preparation, It was
possible to overplay the part. He so
frequently referred to the fact that
hls sole purpose la maintaining a large
army und navy was to maintain peace
thut the war lords of Germany began
to fear that perhups he might mean It.
The murder of the Archduke Franz
Ferdinand, the successor to the Aus
trian throne, and hls wife by a Ser
bian on June 29, 1914, gave Germany
the excuse for which she had been
waiting so long to start a European
eonfiugniUon and found Austria as
anxious for war as her ally.
But even had Emperor Franz Joseph
shown reluctance to plunge hls nution
Into war and had Austria refused to
chastise Serbia for th« murder of the
Archduke I doubt very much whether
the kaiser would have allowed that
event to have gone unavenged.
It touched hltu la oue of his most
vulnerable spots. The sanctity of roy
alty Is one of hls most cherished Ideas.
He felt sponsor for the monarchies
of the world, as we feel sponsor for
the democracies. A thrust at a throne
was * stab at the kaiser's heart, and
with or
dthout the co-operation of
Austria I firmly believe he would have
gone to any lengths to bave avenged
the crime of Sarajevo.
It Is true that the kaiser sent a
message to the czar of Russia ln
pointed out that Austria

How firmly the kaiser was wedded
to the dynastic idea and how deeply
he abhorred the spirit of democracy
was revealed throughout the whole
course, of his life, and in his conversa
tions with me he frequently gave ex
pression to views which disclosed how
thoroughly he believed in the "divine
right of kings."
I saw him shortly after Wilson's
election In 1912.
"What will America ever accomplish
with a professor at Its head?" he
asked, sneerlngly. "Davis, your coun
try will never be truly great until It
becomes a monarchy !"
On another occasion he sneered at
conditions in England.
"Look at England today," he re
marked. "She- Is ruled by Lloyd
George, a socialist! Why, England Is
virtually a republic, as bad as France!
what's become of the king of Eng
land? One never hears of him any
more! Why doesn't he assert him
«elf?" The tone of disgust with which
j,e gave vent to these sentiments was
more significant, perhaps, than the
words used might Imply.
"Your president is trying to over
throw me and my family from the
throne of Germany by his notes," he
commented bitterly, when I saw him
shortly after the publication of the
president's reply to the pope, "but he
uttle understands how loyal are my
peop | e an( j now futile his efforts will
prove. They held meetings recently
ail ov «r the empire, In every city and
village, and showed their allegiance
to me In no uncertain way, and your
president received the answer from
my people that he deserved!" I won
dered whether the kaiser was unaware
,,f the f ac t that all these meetings
j ia( j j )( ,en inspired by the government
ab d their useful agent, the press, or
whether he was once again making
US) , a f his histrionic ability.
Although Germany is regarded as
the cradle of socialism, to the kaiser
, vaK tt <. a ncer which was slowly eat
| nß uway t j ie foundations of his ein
plre an ,i h e viewed Its progress with
the direst misgivings.
Before the war he steadfastly re
f„ MPd to receive a deputation of so
clnllsts and never once gave an audl
once to t h e leaders of the socialist
mrty ln t | le relchstag, although the
the other
political parties wero at times re
Cl> , ved ln conference.
While the relchstag was little more
than a childrens debating society, the
growth and increasing power of the
socialistic party, which was constantly
clamoring for the reform vote, could
not be lBrl0 red. and no doubt had a
Kreat <leal *° do wlth the mllltnrlsts '
nnxlety not to postpone the war too
i on ,„
luu «
After mobilization was ordered,
however, the kaiser decided to recede
from h ls position somewhat, and from
the balcony of the palace in Berlin, In
front of which an enormous crowd
„„„red. h. declared
'■ We "•
now „[[ Germans."
If nnvnnp h . wpvpr , hnf
anyone imagines, however, tnnt
h , s kowtowlng t0 tlae socialists ln this
Instance was evidence of a permanent
change of heart, he little appreciates
how deeply rooted Is the kaiser's ab
horren<-o of socialism and democracy.
Indeed, one of the principal things the
kaiser hoped to accomplish by prose
cuting the war to a triumphant con
clusion was the blow It would deal to
socialistic progress. He felt that
victory would make hls army the Idol
of the people aud that their monarch
would shine in the reflected glory of
their martial achievements. A suc
cessful war. he believed, wou'd set so
cialism back a hundred years.
Certain it is the war brought no
change In the kaiser's personal hnblts.
Even to curry favor with the socialis
tic element he never unbent to the
slightest degree in his outward dis
play of kingly attributes. In all his
career the German people had never
seen their kaiser other than In his
royal uniform, and at all military pa
rades or reviews he always rode a
white horse, that ha might be most
conspicuous, and bore the rbyal mace
which his ancestors had carried centu
ries before him. With the death
struggle between medieval monarchy
nnd democracy ragiug about him the
kaiser was determined to yield not a
tittle of hls prerogatives. His auto
mobile still made its coming known by
Its distinctive "tnde-tndn-ta-ta" nnd
the royal palaces were maintained in
all their accustomed pomp. „
But while the kaiser's armies were
triumphant In the field, the principle
which he was combating was every
where gaining ground. On March 15,
1917, the exar abdicated and Russia,
whose autocratic form of government
had long been the envy of the German
aristocracy, became a republic !
"The downfall of the Russian em
pire was brought about by England
because she feared that the czar was
about to make a separate peace," the
kaiser commented to me. "As a mat
ter of fact, however, neither the czar
nor hls government ever apprr ached
us on that subject, ami when Eigland
overthrew the Russian monarchy she
defeated her very purpose. With the
czar on the throne Russia would prob
ably have gone on fighting us."
Although the kaiser bore no particu
lar love for the czar, whom he was
fighting, he had no desire to convert
the empire Into a democracy, and bis
bitterness toward England for what
he thought was her part ln the estab
lishment of the Russian republic was
very pronounced.
When, a few months later, the abdi
cation of the czar was followed by the
abdication of King Constantine of
Greece, the kaiser sustained another
Mow which hurt him more than the
defeat of one of his arimes would
have done.
"They are trying to force their rot
ten form of democratic government on
Greece," he declared fiercely. "The
way they have treated my poor sister,
the queen of Greece, Is a shame and a
disgrace. They talk about our inva
sion of Belgium, but their actions In
Greece are Infinitely worse. I have
studied the English people for twenty
five years, and they always try to
cover their acts with religion and the
talk of benefits to civilization and hu
manity, but, hypocrites that they are,
they continue to grab ail they can get
their hands on just the same!"
The fact that Greece had a treaty
with Serbia which required her to take
up arms If Serbia were attacked and
that she had failed to meet her obli
gations in that respect was naturally
of no significance to the kaiser, to
whom treaties were but scraps of pa
per.
The keynote of the kaiser's military
program lay In the fact that he real
lzed that It was necessary for him to
win In order to hold his throne. I feel
quite sure that If the allies were wll
ling to concede to Germany all the ter
rltory 6he has conquered—Belgium,
Serbia, Poland, Itoumunla, .Russia and
part of France, and restore all her col
onies, upon condition that the kaiser
step down from the throne, he would
reject the proposition without a mo
ment's hesitation.
"Your country would like to make a
republic out of Germany," he corn
mented, "a republic like France, per
haps, going down and down all the
time—a country ruled by lawyers!"
And he mentioned half a dozen of the
great French statesmen who were
members of the legal profession. "It's
a sad thing for a country when It gets
Into the hands of the lawyers. France
and Italy are already controlled by
them, and America and England are
rapidly following their example!"
The kaiser regarded the German
people us his own property to do with
ns he liked. When I referred to the
"German people" in conversation he
would delicately correct me by fefer
ring ln his reply to "my people."
When, for instance, I said on one oc
cas i 0 n. "I understand, your majesty,
that the German people are anxious
f or peace," he answered, "Yes, Davis,
my peo ple are strongly ln favor of
pea ce, a peace
no allied peace!'*
He belleved that Just as the universe
ls rul( , d by God S() sbo uld the Partb
b e dominated by an earthly ruler and
that God ha d selected him for the task.
To dIsp i ace h im In favor of a repub
llcan form ot government, to substi
tute „ ruler elected by th e peopIe for
a monarch designated by God was in
his opinion the basest sort of sacrilege,
, *' „ . . . . B
and the unfortunate part of it all was
that the majority of his people co
lncided with him. They preferred to
be ruIed 5y a band of iron rather tha n

iD ^catlcm that the y would prefer to

au bmlt so willingly to the kaiser's dom
matlon he has become obsessed with
the idea that the rest of the world
should follow suit.
The kaiser and other German
leaders believed that their army
was invincible and that when
Der Tag—"the day"—arrived,
Germany would crush her en
emies and gain all her ends
within a few months. Even
after America entered the war,
the kaiser seemed supremely
confident of an overwhelming
victory. Doctor Davis relates
some of the kaiser's boasts In
the next installment of his nar
rative.

NOW CALLED NICKEL-SILVER
Well-Known Metal Has Been Relieved
From the Obliquity of Bearing
a German Name.
One of the' largest metal-handling
concerns In this country has recently
changed the name of the alloy here
tofore known as German silver, and Is
now marketing this commodity as
nickel-silver, und a publication devoted
that
the word silver be eliminated entirely,
as there Is no silver ln the combina
tion. This publication says : "If the
nickel is taken from an 18 per cent
German silver alloy only a 'two and
one' brass will remain. Why not then
call the compound 'nickel-brass,' or, If
commercial objections are too strong
to be overcome at once, why not call It
nickel alloy? .The various contents of
nickel may be designated by utilizing
the different percentages thut the al
loy contains. Thus, 4, 6, S, 10, 12, 15,
18 per cent, etc., nickel-alloy. It Is a |
fact thnt some manufacturers are al
ready designating the material now j
being sold as 'Sheffield plate,' *s 'sll- j

no reason why the same argument !
does not apply to the alloy being culled
