Upon him and the tremendous military en­ gine of destruction of which he was the embodiment, the exponent and the leader, rests the responsibility of de­ liberately planning and bringing about the.greatest conflict the world lias ever seen. Sought World Dominion. He signed the order for the German mobilization. He stood sponsor for the terrorism and brigandage wjhich, under the guise of warfare, ravished Belgium, laid waste the cities of France, depopulated and outraged Ser­ bia and sent the' Lusitania with her freight of women and children to a grave in the Atlantic. Against these his cry "I did not will the war" availed as nothing. .Before the bar of humanity William was ad-1 judged guilty of the greatest crime since the crucifixion. In him human­ ity saw the last of the autocrats, the final Caesar. Assertions that he was at heart peaceful, so persistently circulated for years as to give them the stamp of German propoganda, became branded as false. He who had long proclaimed himself the prince of peace stood re­ vealed as humanity's scourge. Claims Almighty Aas His Ally. ' Many doubt whether William was Entirely sane. He said repeatedly that he possessed a divfne mandate tq rule, that the Almighty was his "uncondt-r tional and avowed ally." It Is,not en­ tirely clear whether such outgivings were the product of a disordered brain or were due to unbounded egotism and an effort to impress his subjects with the idea of reverent and unquestioning submission. His speches to hi**armieS In which he asserted he and they were "instru­ ments of divine judgment upon Ger­ many's enemies" were regarded by many outside of Germany as pieces of rhetoric, intended only (to deceive his own people. - i Few statesmen realized that the em­ peror in his "shining armor," maneu­ vering his arini^p and fleets, building up the German military system, ce­ menting the centra' empires and Tur­ key, and fostering the preaching of the supremacy of autocracy, was erecting a machine that one day would make war upon, all civilization. Yet the world was warned by some far-sighted men that the emperor would one day bring catastrophe upon the nations. These men saw in him then and see him JIOW as a mad inven­ tor, given in his youth the most dan­ gerous of all toys--his army and navy. They were his playthings. He de­ veloped them throughout the years to tlie point where he had to put them to a test Like a crazed inventor, he feared the end of his reigp would find his Inventions untried, so grasped the first opportunity to wage a world war. Seizes Pretense to Open War. Meantime the German war party grew, with William at- its head, and the scheme of world dominion awaited the hour to begiu its attainment. It came with the assassination of the Austrian Archduke Francis Ferdinand and his wife at Sarajevo. Recalled from a yachting trip, Wil­ liam presided at a conference'at Pots­ dam of representatives of the German and Austrian armies, navies and com­ mercial interests. There, according to the best Information obtainable, the decision was reached to make the as­ sassination of the archduke a pretense tfor the world war for wl^ch Germany had long prepared. In the diplomatic exchanges between Germany and Austria on one side and Great Britain, France and Russia on the other William posed as one wishing for peace but driven to war. He signed the order for the mobiliza­ tion of the German army, and from tbat moment war was Inevitable. Publication of, the "Willy-Nicky" correspondence In 1917 placed the Ger- BELIEVES "MUTINY" IS TRICK Chlcagoan Believes German Rulers Are Behind Reported 8eizure of Bat- tleshipa by the Men.

There J* Emperor secret agr. force the perfection of an lve alliance against Sngland. The treaty was discovered itfcd repudiated by a Russian minister. Falling in Ills attempt, the German emperor set upon himself the task of drawing England to his side against France and Russia. How well he thought he had suc­ ceeded in this may be gathered from a letter he wrote to President Wilson in 1914 in which he said King Gfeorge had promised Prince Henry otf Prussia, on. July 29, 1914, that England would remain neutral in a war involving the central pofeers with France and Rns>- sia. Lichnowsky Shows Up Intrigue. Perhaps the most direct and authori­ tative of the accusations against the German emperor and the pan-Germans are contained in the published secret ,memorandum of Prince Charles Max "Lichnowsky, who was German am­ bassador at London at the outbreak of hostilities. * 3 The prince unequivocally placed the blame for the war on Germany, and for his frankness was imprisoned In a ,Sileslan chateau, permanently expelled from the Prussian house of lords^ which action was sanctioned by the emperor, and finally was exiled to' Switzerland. Emperor William's domination over .German statesmen, diplomats and the high command of the- German army was (emphaslzed by Dr. Wilhelm Muehlon, a former director of the Krupp works, th'e great German muni­ tions factory, in his book on "The Devastation of Europe." In this he not only laid blame upon Germany for bad faith ftj»d criticized the German army for its- .lrutality but asserted that In the Gerrnun foreign office "only he who did tht? emperor's bidding was al­ lowed to remain." "They could not do better," he declared, "because of the character, the power, the vaseilla- tlon of and continued Interference by the kaiser." , 1 It was Doctor Muehlon who asserted the authenticity of. the statement that Emperor William stated at a meeting of German army officers that he had plenty of prijpners and that he hoped the officers *-Quld see that no more prisoners were taken. , Maximilian Harden, a German lib­ eral leader, declared the German ruler brought on the war because of his de­ sire "for something like world rule." "No Nonsense From Us." The emperor, despite his previous expressions of good will for America, gave vent to his anger against the United States when it became evident nof official action woulU be taken to stop the shipment of ^munitions and supplies to the entefate allies by de­ claring to the America!* ambassador, James W. Gerard, "I shall stand no nonsense from America after the war." William's designs to spread German dominion in Asia found expression in his- famous visits to Constantinople when he was proclaimed as protector of the Moslems. In this the world saw a cunning steja toward achievement of the German ambition of German do­ minion from Berlin to Bagdad. Friedrich Wilhelm Victor Albert was born January 27, 1859, and became Emperor William II on the death of his father, Frederick III, June 15, 1888. He came out. of the University of Bonn fully prepared to enter the school^ of statecraft. Set to work In the govern­ ment bureaus, he was early taught the routine of official business under the tutelage of the great Bismarck. ~ At the death of his. father, the Im­ perial throne devolved upon William II, who* was then but twenty-nine years of age. Bismarck continued as chancellor, but not for long. . In 1890 the disagreement of the two men reached a crisis, a rupture came and Bismarck went. The relations be­ tween the two men remained strained for several years, but before Bismarck died peace was made between them. Stickler for Military Etiquette. With the passing of Bismarck the emp«ror's real reign began. As a mili­ tary man hd was a stickler for effi­ ciency, discipline and the observance of etiquette to the last detail. And with the details of all these components of army life and training he was familiar to the smallest point. ^ In everything he was 4escr*bed as thorough and, withal, one of the hard­ est workers In the empire. Physically unimpressive--'he was short and inclined to stoutness--Wil­ liam was fond of being photographed while striking a military posture, though taking gopd chre to veil the deformity of his left arm, a disfigure­ ment with which he was born and of which he was extremely sensitive. He blamed his English mother for living a life of self-indulgence and cursed her repeatedly as being responsible for his deformity. ' * He married Augusta Victoria, oldest daughter of Grand Duke Frederick of Schleswlg - Holstein - Sonderburg - Au- gustenburg, on February 27, 1881. They Imd six sons and one daughter, of whom the Crown Prince Frederick Is the eldest. With the crown prince, his father clashed frequently, and on one occaslop virtually exiled young Frederick to Dantzig, but soon recalled him. German mothers who wrote to th* emperor of the deaths of their sons killed In battle elicited from him no word of sympathy. He regarded their deaths as "glorious." Yet his own six sons,, though holding high commands, were so protected that the Imperial family stood practically alone in all Germany in warding off *he clatcbM of death. : « reason to Relieve the allies* terms with Austria, by which the latter had to turn over many of its warships to the allies, have had their effect In Germany.
