The Kaiser as
I Knew Him
For Fourteen
Years
ARTHUR N. DAVIS. D. D. S.
(Copyright, 1918. ly the McClurc Newspa
per Syndli'uto.)
A day or two lifter Zeppelin's death,
In 1017, u patient of m'.ue, u lady, hap
pened to remark that It wns too had
that tho count luid not lived to see the
triumph of ids Invention, and when I
saw tho kaiser shortly afterwards 1
repeated her remark to neu what hi
would say.
"I am convinced Hint, tho count lived
long enough to sec nil that tho Hep
pellns were capable of ucconipllshlng,"
was Ids only comment. It recalled the
in:nvor h hsr! given me some yeitr.
heloiv when both Zeppelins mill air
planes wore In their Infancy nnd I had
asked him which held the greater
promise. "Wo do not know. Time
alone will tell," was his reply.
The lust time I conversed with the
kaiser was on November i!(J, 1017. Up
to that time we had sent over ICD.OOO
troops, according to the figures which
have since been revealed by Secretary
Raker. According to the kaiser's In
formation, however, we had only !10,
000 men in France at that time and
ho was of tho opinion that we would
never have many more.
"America Is having a line time try
ing to raise an ' army," lie declared
satirically! "I hear that 1,000 mutinied
the other day In New York und re
fused to got on it transport, and u
town In the Northwest composed prin
cipally of citizens of Swedish blood
refused to reg'ster nt till ! We are get
ting excellent information about all
conditions In. America."
Shortly before this hud come the rev
elations from Washington of (he in
trigue of Count von I.usbiirg, the Gor
man minister to Argentina, and I knew
where the kaiser was getting the in
formation he referred to. In nearly
every case, it appeared, the kaiser's In
formants were mhilcudlug him.
Roth before und after we entered
tho war the kaiser was thoroughly con
vinced tint wo could play o.ily a nom
inal pm i It so fur us mini power
was cor: i.-d und his assurance on
that point iiiidotihtcdly accounted for
his decision to cuiry through his sub
marine progrtm oven tin, ugh it, re
sulted In bringing us Into the win-.
"Do you realize how many tons of
Hhippliu; It takes i-i sdilp it slngU rol
dlor?" l.e uskod me on one occasion.
1 confessed my Ignorance on that
polnr.-
"Well, It taken r.lx tons to the maul
To send over an army of noo.i.iK) men,
theref rt your country would require
o.OOO.tiuO t:m of shipping In addition
to the to.iniigo required for regular
traffic. Wliiii.) Is ll coming from, with
my submarines slr.k'ng Iho allied ve1
sols faster than they can ovr l.e re
placed V My IMiuatK uti'. doing won
derful wuil; nnd we are prepared to
take care of nil the tr-ups America
t.iny try to html in Kraiiei'."
"llnw f.lolii.ll f)f Ain.Tlrji to havo
come Into t'te war," he went on. "If
she. "could "succeed in landing n real
army in France, what good would It
do? America can see how easy it was
for me to break through and to cap
ture :i00,000 of the Italians, and they
must realize that I can break through
on the western front nnd do the same
thing there,, If America hud kept out
of tho war Mio would have gone on
making untold profits and when peace
was Anally declared she would hnvo
been in a most enviable position
among the nations of the world. As It
Is, Wilson will never have a scat at
tho peace table if I can help It, nnd
now America shall have to pay nil tho
costs of the war 1" Kvldently he Imag
ined that his triumph would he so
complete that thoro would be no peace
table, hut that (he warring nntlons
would be compelled to accept tho
terms ho offered them, In which event,
knowing tho magnanimity of the Ger
man make-up, I should say tho world
nt largo would hnvo to be content with
very Httlo.
How tho kaiser feels now that tho
failure of tho U-boats to intercept
American troop ships must bo pain
fully apparent to him, and America
has so overwhelmingly ovorconiu the
shortage of chipping, I don't know, but
It Is more than probable that for some
tltno to come the real situation will, at
By
liny rnte, he nticccsafully concealed
from the German people. I know that
tho failure of tho U-hont campaign wns
unknown to tho Germans up to the
time I left Rprlin In January, 11)18.
While 'tho knlHcr nnd tl.o Germans
generally f It confident that wo would
never ho nhlo to Fend i mny men
ucroKH, they professed to feci little
concern even If wo did.
According to some of the German of
ficers with whom I spoke, even If wc
landed 12,000,000 men hi Franco it
would not ho enough to break the
deadlock, n.s the Germans were Piking
n Klmllur number of trained troops
from the Russian front. Tho onl
menace of American participation In
the war lay In the possibility that wc
might ndd considerably to the allied
nir strength. Man power nlniie, thej
contended, would neve. he .suMlclont tc
help the iilllcs much, hut overwhclmlnp
superiority In the air might ocensloe
the Germans Rome annoyance.
The kaiser himself had hut a pool
opinion of the fighting qualities of the
American soldier so far as modern wai
requirements nro concerned.
"The American soldier would pos
slbly give n good nccount of htmsell
In open lighting," he declared, "hut he
Ib not built for the kind of warfare he
will encounter In France. He lacki
the Molldlty to endure life In tin
trenches. He Is too high-strung nnd
couldn't stand the inactive life whlcl
Is such an Important part of modcrt
warfare. Resides, he lucks discipline
und trained ofllccrs."
CHAPTER IX.
The Kaiser's Plan for World Dominion
The history of modern Germany Is
perhaps, In Itself sufficient Indlcatlor
of the underlying plan of the Tutor
war barons to control the whole o
Ktiropo and, eventually, the world. Tin
program has been slowly unfolding it
nelf since tho time of Frederick tin
Great n.id the present generation it
now witnessing what was Intended t
lie the cliiunx.
There can he no doubt that If Ger
many hud succeeded in her elTorts t
gain control of lh- major part of 15u
rope i.ho would havo soon lookec
toward tho western hemisphere nnc
tlTo cast. '
This program Is fairly Indicated bj
the course of events as history layi
them hare, but I have the actual wore
of the kaiser to substantiate It.
At one of ids visits to me shortl:'
after the beginning of the war we wen
discussing kngland'ri participation lc
it. v
"What hypociites the English urol'
the kaiser exclaimed.
"Tltey had always treated mo 8
well when l visited fhein I never bo
Moved they would have come Into t lilt
war. They always lifted as if thej
liked me. My Mother was English
you know. I ulways thought tin
"world was big enough for three of in
and we could keep It for ourselves
that Germany could control the cent I
uent of Europe, England, through hei
vast possessions and licet, citld con
trnl tho Mediterranean and (hf fin
east, and America could dominate tin
western hemisphere1 1"
How long ( wliuhl have been before
Germany would have tried to wrest
dominion from Etiglaiid'cau readily Ik
iuitigln -1, and wltli the whole of Eu
rope and the far east under her thtimt
America would undoubtedly hav
proved too u-i..ptlti: a morsel for (hi
kaiser's or !. : :J,sc ndants' rnpnchm
maw to haw fislstcd. He said that
he bellevtd t'nt the world was "hi;
enough fur l'::o;" ho didn't say It
was too 1 1,; for .u
What as really in Ids mind, how
ever, is indicated by it passage In ur
address he made some twenty-live
years u -.., In wbL-li, as Row Ur. New
ell iKvlht JIllliK Ituii pointed out, he
used (hi-.si- words:
"Fr.un my clilldu.-nU I hnvo been un
der the t'tlltlf .n- of live Iien AU";an
der, .Tullt.s- I'nes r. Tie 'jih.rlc II, Nil
pohon and Fredrhk the G.'i-at. These
live men ilrctmeTI their div.,m of o
world empire: tl;y failed. I ate
dreaming in;, ilrenni of a wot Id i tnplro
but I hull succeed !"
The kaiser's plan to dominate Eu
rope Included the control of Turkey
and he made eveiy effort to strengthen
that country ?o that she might be n
vtduablt nllv in thuwur to come.
Whin Jtalj look Tripoli l-iuu Tur
Iy In fore the Ralknii war I'uien-tin-led
to the kaiser how opportunely
Italy had acted, but the kaiser dis
missed my remark with an exclama
tion of displeasure, realizing, ol
course, that Tin key's loss was In ti
sense his own since he hud planned tc
make Turkey his vassal.
To that end he hud sent German of
ficers to train the Turkish tinny and
had supplied them with guns nnd mu
nitions. With an eye to the future,
too, he had constructed the grent Rug
dud railway.
When the Rulknn war broke out In
30V- the kaiser hud great confidence
that the German-tntlned Turkish nrm
would acquit Itself creditably and
that In the outcome of that conlllct his
European program would make consid
erable progress. Ho told me thnt he
had a. map of the wnr area placed In
his motor nnd that with' pegs he fol
lowed tho fortunes of the fighting
ft miles while ho wns traveling.
The Turkish defents were naturally
n great disappointment to him.
"These Montenegrins, Serbians and
Riilgurhins nro wonderful fighters," he
confessed to me, shortly after tho wnr
began. . "They'ro out-of-door people
and they hnvo tho strength and stum
Inn whlcdi fighters require. If they
keep on tho way they'ro going they'll
ho In Constantinople in n week 1 Con
found thoo Turks I Wo furnished
Hum guns nnd ummunKlrth anil
trained their ofllccrs, but If (itey won't
fight wo onn't make them. We've dono
our bcstl"
t IMin tflnfrtrtl- t9 4ln Fl1t1o Innttnnntl
their vnluo to tho kaiser ns nn ally
and he Immediately put into effect a
measure for Increasing tho Germnn
fitnndlng army from 050,000 to 000,000
to restore tho linlniico of power, they
snid. For this purpose n "Wehrbel
ting," or Increased armament tax, was
levied on capital and, Incidentally, I
wns Informed that I would have to
pay my share. The Idea of paying n
tax to upbuild the German army,
which wns already so powerful that
It menaced the pence of the world,
did not appeal to me at nil nnd I
spoke to Ambassador Gerard about It.
Ho advised me to pity It under protest,
agreeing with mo Hint there wos no
reason why nn American should be
required to contrihute'to the German
wnr budget. Howcvcrj I linrt to pny It.
The German efforts tit colonization,
which were more or less of n failure
because the Germans refused to In
habit the Germnn possessions, and the
measures adopted to conquer the com
mercial markets of tho world were nn
Important part of the program of world
domination which Germany planned
for herself, nnd It Is not unlikely that
If she had confined her efforts along
those lines she might huve progressed
further along hor chosen path than she
has ndvnnced by bathing the world In
blood.
"I have nearly 70,000,000 people,"
the kaiser said to me on one occasion,
"and we shall have to find room for
them somewhere. When we became
on empire England had her hands nn
nonrly everything. Now we must
fight to got ours. Thnt Is why I am
developing our world markets, Just as
your country secured Hawaii und the
Philippines ns stepping stones to the
markets of the far east, ns I under
.tiind It That's why I developed the
wonderful city of Kluo-Clinu."
Ills plans In this connection were
changed sotnowhnt apparently by the
developments of the present wnr, for
he told me Hint when It was over the
Germans would not emigrate to the
United States any more.
"No more American emigration for
us after the war." he said. "My
people will set Ue in the Rnlkitns nnd
develop nnd control that wonderful
country I have been down there and
I know It Is a marvelous land for our
purposes."
The kaiser's vision of the part he
Would take In the 'reconstruction of
stricken Europe was Indicated by n
remark he made to me In 11)1(1 when
1 was- visiting him at the army head
quarters at Pless.
"Here I am nearly sixty years ol
age," he soliloquized, "and must re
build the whole of Europe I"
Although the kaiser so freely admit
ted Ills designs on the world at large
he wns Impatient of any expansion
on the part of other nations. Tie often
spoke of England's "grabbing" vprn
tiensity and viewed with suspicion oni
fVhnoxntion of Hawaii und the Philip
fl lies and our development of Culm
after the Spnnlsli-Aniorlcnn wnr. He
professed to see In our new policy c
strlviii'-' after world power which was
inconsistent with the principles upoi
which our government was founded.
He obJiV-tcd to our interference It
Mexican affairs, although, ns was ells
closed bj the Zimmerman note to Voi
Eekhiirdt, lie wits making every effort
to have Mexico interfere with ours.
"What right has President Wllsm
to'nttempt to dictate Hie Internal poll
clos- of Mexico?" he asked. "Why not
lot them fight their battle's out alone?'
Alluding to America's throat to en
tor the present war, lie asked: "What
right has America to Insist upon the
Montoc doctrine of America and thei
mix in European affairs? Li-t her rc.
ogi'ize also a Miuirne doctrine of Eu
i-op. nnd keep her hands out of tills
onnfilel !"
There Is no doubt that the Italsei
iiiingiiif-d Hi it the great army and nav
he had built up would cmdde him te
carry out his ambitious program with
nut 'oftcetlu' resistance.
Tin one power Lo lyosl fe'iucd bit'
for which he profes-ed the utmost con
tentr.t v.ns England lie had nn Ide.'
that England would never dnie, ti

tSwit he could provoke a war whpn. Hie

iVi- " d"Uieuisiratr il.nl she n vil
otis III her demands, the kaiser line"
great hopes that war with France
might thus be precipitated and ho win
confident Hint England would keep out
of It.
"England would bo afraid to wni
with us,' hi told me nt the time, " foi
fear of losing Egypt, India and Ireland
Any nation would think twice before
fighting my nrmics, but England par
ticularly becauso she would not elnre
;o rhlt tho loss of her overseas colo
nies." When tho kaiser's ninbltlous project
to domlunto the world Is considered
his consistent opposition to tho univer
sal disarmament proposals Is enslij
understood. Without a superior armj
and navy, his whole plnn would have
to be abandoned and his drenm ol
world-wldo dominion' would be shat
tered. On ono occasion when wo wero dis
cussing tho Cavneglo penco efforts,
the kaiser disclosed very positively
Just whoro he stood on the proposition,
"Look nt tho history of tho nations
of the world," he declared. "Tho only
nations which have progressed nnd be
come great havo been warring nntlons.
Those which have not been ambitious
and Rnno to wnr hnvo amounted to
nothing I"
Shortly after-WJlsem had pointed the
way to pence In Europe In one of his
notes to all the belligerent powers the
knlscr called to see me professionally
and we eliscussed that latest phnso of
the situation.
"The way to pence now seems per
fectly eltMi," I ventured. "Only your
mnjesty's evefinct easing army nnd
navy gtin ,is in tho way. If Germany
will give tip hor firmament, It scorns,
v:o would r.oon have peace."
"That Is out of the question for Ger
many," replied the kaiser, decisively.
"We huve no mountains like the Pyre
nees to protect us. Wo have Hie open
plains" of Russia with their vast
hordes endangering us. No; we sltnll
remain armed to tho teeth forever I"
CHAPTER X.
The Kaiser's Appraisal of Public Men.
No one ever speaks to the kaiser un
til addresied. As that mnnurch's opin
ions on most subjects nre firmly fixed
nii?fhev will stand no opposition, any
erroneous Idea he may cntertnln (s
very apt to reninln with him. His ad
visers wero npt to leave him in orro
rather than arouse his Ire by attempt
ing to set him right. Rut for the fact
that he was very fond of nsklng innu
merable questions, his store of Infor
mation might have been extremely
sennty.
In tho course of my conversations
with him ho frequently expressed his
views of men who were In the public
eye. Upon what basis they were
founded he did not always enlighten
me, but even when I knew them to be
erroneous I realized It was useless to
try to chtinge them and I did not often
take Issue with him. When I did his
eyes would Hush lire, but I hail ex
pected that and I continued Just the
snnie.
The kaiser always seemed to take
n particular Interest In Anieilcan af
fairs, nnd wliile ho professed to de
spise eiur form of government lie
watched very carefully tho careers of
entr public men. It N not unlikely that
ho Imagined, us I hnvo pointed out
elsewhere In these pages, that he could
Influence our t'lectlons- hy swinging
Hie Gorman-American vote in favor of
the candidate, he preferred, und ho
made n study of our public men in
order that ho might know which of
them would be more desirable In ollice
f i oni the German viewpoint.
When Mr. Wilson was nominated for
the presidency, the kaiser was quite
peisltlvo that he wouldn't be elected.
Perhaps the fact that Mr. Roosevelt,
for whom nt Hint time Hie kaiser had
the greatest admiration, wns one of
Mr. Wilson's rivals, blinded him to the
strength which e'lected Wilson, but tho
fact that the latter had had little cx
pcrione'c in International politics un
fitted him, In tho kuiser's estimation,
for the Important ollice for which he
was running.
I saw Hie kaiser shortly after Mr.
Wilson's election.
"I nin very much surprised nt the
result of your election," he declared.
"I didn't think your people would be
so foolish as to elect n college profes
sor as president. What does a profes
sor know about international politics
and diplomatic affairs?"
I haven't tho slightest doubt Hint
the kaiser plctureel our prcslelcnt ns
a counterpart of the typical German
professor n plodding, impractical, un
ambitious bookworm with no hope or
desire ef over earnlng more Hutu ?1,000
a year und no yearning for public ac
ilniin, a recluse, nhscut-n.ludcel and
self-centered, who spent the midnight
oil poring over muMy volumes nnd
paid little or no intention to what was
going on around hint! Such it man,
tho kaiser uudoiih.cilly bolli-ved, tho
I'nileil States had elected ns Us chief
executive nnd hi-. surprNe v.ns more
or li.s natural In tlmse eliviin.ntanees.
When Wilson sent .1.000 men lo Vein
Cruz the kaler felt that lie had ex
ceeded his rights.
"Whet right litis WiNon to mix In
the Internal nffalr.s of Mi lco?" hot
asked. "Why doesn't In- allow t'.iem to '
light It out nntnng theioseUcs. It Is
their affair, not ids!" Germany hnd
many finiu.clnl Interests in M"Xico and
looked with disfavor upon any move
wo umde in Hint direction.
When, however, Iho war In Europe
d:irt-'il the kaiser made every effort
to havo America mix In InternnHoiial
nffisi.-s pin-, Med wc foti;,ht on her side.
7! a I "wiv him Just after the war
;'. ' -d li-'sulil u oughl to seize Hie
if -: i-:ilt to nnmw Canada and
Mi v,i.
"i mi i voiti- president ee the won
derful opportunity now for combin
ing with us nnd crushing England?"
ho asked. "With our fleet on ono side
nnd America's on the other wo could
destroy England's sea power. This k
America's great opportunity to elotnl
nate tho western hemisphere, nnd your
president must see Ills chance to take
Canada and Mexico 1"
As Hie war progressed nnd reports
reached tho kaiser of our Increased
shipments of munitions to tho nllles,
Hie kniser's lmpnticnco with Wilson be
came more difficult tn repress, and
there was hardly un Interview I had
with him In which he did not glvo
vent to his feelings In that connec
tion. "My officers nro becoming so In
censed nt America's attitude," ho told
me, "it will bo Impossible for me to
restrain them much longer."
