William Randolph Hearst, Esq., New York . The King is very glad that through the .popular newspaper press of the United States, a full presentation of Queen \Tictoria' s character and personality, as revealed in her letters, should be made to the American people, between whon1 and her in her lifetime mutual feelings of sympathy and friendliness never failed.

To her, the great Wilhelm, Emperor of Prussia, and Nicholas, Czar of Russia, were Willie and Nicky, to be talked to effectively like naughty children when they threatened the peace of Europe. And so she did talk ·to them and so she kept the peace. Less than a dozen years after she died they had destroyed the peace of Europe and sent six million men to their death-a thing they never would have dared to do if Victoria had been alive. She lived through and controlled the diplomatic policies of five Prime Ministers and apparently was the mental equal of them all. In addition to which, as B.ill N ye put it, she managed to rear nine children. We are just beginning to learn how great a woman this Queen Mother was. The perspective of a quarter of a century was necessary.

These papers are now being published for the first time. ., . .. · , . 1r They begin next Sunday and wlll appear each week in the {'-" ., .
