Tho great military machine which 'the kaiser had built up during tho first ,2(1 years of his reign "for the purpose 'of maintaining pence" was constantly .Itching for war. There was a feeling among Uie mllltnilst.s that 'while It I was all right for the kaiser to assume the role of tho "Prince of lVaco" dur jing the period of preparation, It was possible to oveiplny fhe part. He so frequently referred to tho fact that his sole purpose In nuili ntnlng u large iiiini, aim mivy was 10 niainiaiu peine that the war lords of (Jermany began ,to fear that perhaps he '"lit mean It The murder of the Archduke I-'ran7 Fcrdlmiiid, fie successor to the Aus trian thror.e, nnd 1 is wife by a Ser bian on .lime 'JO, UM. gnve Germany he excuse for v.lnii she lrtd been iwr.ltlug vo o.' to sfnrt u K'n-epeiin conflagtatl'n and found Aiislrla m 'nnxlous for war ns her ally.

After mobllbatlon was ordered,! however, the kaiser decided to recede from his position somewhat, and from , the balcony of the palace In Herlln, In I front of which an enormous crowd had gathered, ho declared significant-, ly: "I rccoguISM no parties. We arej now nil Germans." If anyone Imagines, however, that bis kowtowing to the socialists In this Instance was evidence of a permanent change of heart, he little appreciates how deeply rooted is tho kaiser's ab horrence of socialism nnd democracy. Indeed, ono of the principal things tho kaiser hoped to aconipllsh by prose cuting the war to a triumphant con clusion was the bio1" It would deal toj socialistic progress. Ho felt that! ictnry would nuiuc tils army t no linn of the people and that their monarch would shine la the reflected glory of their martial uclihveiiients. A suc cessful war, he believed, would set so cialism back n hundred years. Certain It Is the war brought no change In the kaiser's porsonal habits, 1-2 von to curry fa, -or with tho socialis tic element ho never unbent to tho slightest ilecreo In bis outward dis play of kingly uttrlbiiles. In all his, career the German jjeoplo had noyci seen their kaiser other than In bis royal uniform, and nt all military pa rades or reviews be always rodo n white horse, that he might be most conspicuous, and bore the royal mace which his aiice.slors had tarried centu ries before him.

"The downfall of the I.tissbm em pire was brought nbout by l-2ngbinil because she fen red that the crar wn about to make a separate peace," the kaiser commented to me. "As n mat ter of fact, however, neither tho cxai nor his government ever upproaehcd us on Hint suhjeei. mid when Knglati'1 overthrew the Uussltiu ninitiirehy slit defeated her ery purpose.

When, a few m..n'lis later, the abdi cation of the (,. r was followed by tlu abdication of Kin-: Constant ne of Greece, the kaNer sustained another blow which hurt bi.n more than the defeat of one or his armies would have done.

The fact thai Greece had a treet. with Serbia which n quln d her to taki up arms if Serbia were attacked and that she bed failed to meet her obli gations In thai repect was naturally of no significance to the kulser, to whom treaties were but .scraps of pa per. The keynote of the kaiser's mllttnn program lay In the fact that he real ized that it was necessary for him ti win In order to hold his throne.

To displace him In favor of a repub lican form of government, to substi tute a ruler elected by the people for a inoniircii designated by God was in his opinion the basest sort of bucrllege, nnd the unfortunnte part of It all was that the majority of his people co incided with him. They preferred to bo ruled by a hand of Iron rather than to rule themselves. Swine day they may be awakened to tho blessings or self-government, but up to the present time they have not shown the slightest iwli-vtlnn that th ; would prefer to rule than be nihil, and because they submit so willingly to the kaiser's tloin bunion he has become obsessed with the Idea that the rest of tho world should follow suit.
