In the main, one voted exclusively peeches in wnd a half discovers in these utterances two dominant thoughts: ‘onfidence in ultimate victory under the protection of “our old God'", and grief over the devastation caused by r “ruthless foe.” The first was usu- ally accompanied, as recorded by The Times correspondent in 1916, with “a martial gesture which brought fierce smlles from the soldiers who heard him.” The second often had 8s an acoompaniment, in the words of the Berlin Lokal-Anzeizer, “tears brimming from his eloquent eyes.” %0 Sorry For Peor France.

At the same time “the grief that lies on my heart” swelled ever up and up until, in September, 1918, in his letter to the Mayvors of the Rhine cities, he broke into a veritable crescendo of crocodile tears as he lamented ‘‘the | despolling of the fair flelds of Irance which she has wantonly forced us to visit upon har.” That picture of France wantonly forcing Germany to despoil her is one | of the masterpieces of the collection. It may be seriously doubted if any French master of the art ironic and satiric—Anatole France himself— could surpass that. Take Paris or Die. On Aug. 30, 1914, he addr troops in Belgiur was his ultimatum. Early in 1915 he addressed his troops in Lorralne, saying: “We will be grateful to (vod that we have thus! far the honor of being the instru- ments in the divine judgment which has come upon our enemies. Let the decision fall as it will. The hewing will proceed further until our adver- saries have had enough.” Later that same Summer he spoke in Alsace, as reported in the Cologne Gazette, concluding with, “the old God of Battles directed. We were hig instruments and were proud of it.” A year later he was even more boagtfsl. On Oct. 25, 1916, he said “The world’'s history knows no parallel to the greatness of your deeds.

Those has inspired you with strength and courage.” Yet, only a week later, on Octo- ber 31, he addressed his then Chan- cellor, Bethmann Hollweg, saying: “My dear Bethmann: I have since been turning our conversation over 1t is clear that the peoples in the enemy coun- tries who are kept in hard endur- ance of the war by lies and frauds deluded by fighting and hatred s no men who are able or who > the moral courage to speak the word which will bring relief—to pro- “What is wanted is a moral deed to free the world, including neutrals, from the pressure which weighs upon us all. For such a ded it is necessary to find a ruler who has the conscience, who feels that he is responsible to God, who has a heart for his own people and for those who are his ene- mies, who is indifferent to any possi- ble wilful misinterpretation of his act, and possesses the will to free the world from its sufferings. I Have the Courage. “I have the courage. Trusting In «God I shall daro to take this step. Please draft notes on these lines and submit them to me, and make all nec- essary arrangements, without delay.” His Conscience is Clear. On Aug. 1, 1915, he said in a man- ifesto from Grand Headquarter “One year has elapsed since 1 was obliged to call to arms the German An unprecedented time of bloodshed has befallen Europe and the world. Before God and history my consclence is clear. I did not will the war. * * * Full of gratitude | we oan say today that God was with us. The enemy armies who boasted that they could enter Berlin within a few months are driven far back east and west.” It was not long before he resumed weeping (publicly) for France. On Oct. 12, 1815, he said to a Soclalist member of the Reichstag: ‘“France has been the greatest disappointment of my life and I am sincerely sorry for her because she is destined to ruln. is one of a terrifying nature, brutal and inhuman, the details of which will only he known after the war.,"” This Deputy said that the Emperor cried when he declared that France was condemned to death. On April 22, 1916, the Kaiser ceived a deputation of Socialists and assurred them that he sympathized with their aims. The “People’s Kingdom.” “Germany is the leading Socialist State,”” he sald to them. “France has had Sociallst Ministers who did noth- ing to advance soclalistic legislation while official Germany quietly nation- alized the railways, passed all Insur- ance schemes and factory laws and interfered on behalt of the interests of the working class. It has now practically nationalized industry. Nothing remains to be settled be- tween the Government and the So- cialsts except the queston of pos- session of power, and if the Socialists had a majority 'in the Reichstag or could create one with the aid of other partles nobody could prevent them from getting a measure of adminis- trative power. There is a note of prophecy in this utterance of thirty months ago! On April 7, 1917, the Kaiser coined his delectable phrase, *the people's kingdom of the Hohenzollerns,” though he saild “a far-reaching change of the Constitution must be postponed in the highest interests of the Fatherland until the time of the lome-coming of our armies and when are able to join in and the voting on the 18, 1917, he was again as- sertive. “So M. Painleve wants Al- sace-Lorraine, does he? Good, but he must come and take it!" The following day a federation of German unions: “The Fatherland is proud of its voung and old warriors. They will stand agalnst all hostile attacks and oriminal at- tempts to introduce disunion into the ranks of the German people in arms, indissolubly bound to their ancestrsl purpose,” Beglns to Chouge Tune. Begloning with the present year, the tome of assurance noticeably dropped. On March 10, 1918, he ad- dressed the Prussian upper house, saying: “Even if the road of a gen- | the great peace. re- | he telegraphed | The French method of warfare | eral peace is a long one, a good be- ginning has been made, and I con- fidently trust that our victorious sword and steadfast unity in this seri- ous work will soon bring us within sight of the goal, which will give us God grant 1t!” On March 29, after the great Ger- man drive in France had begun, he wired Hindenburg: “The army will not relax until, with God’s help, it has won for the homeland the good victory which it needs as the founda- tion for a future based upon a strong German peace.” Again Grieves For France. A few days later he said to a Ger- “The German sword regain us the respect of the world. Tn France the detestable word Things sword man author: will ‘boche’ is getting ever rarer. will bacome different. The makes us respected.” On May 15, 1918, he addressed the Town Council of Aix-la-Chapelle, and Lere again his “grief” for France be- came vocal. “I inspected half a devastated France,” he sald. “There, gentle- men, one obtains the right impression of the awful state that has been spared the Fatherland. ‘Whoever should grow faint-hearted ought to come to the front and see the devasta- tion. Then he would cease to lament his fate and be satisfied with his lot and bear patiently the hardships and privations of war's horrors. * * * “Our opponents have had a bad time. They deserved nothing else. Our task in the west will be accom- plished, but we must be patient. We cannot settle in a day armies of mil- | lions.” A little before that, in a speech to the Second Army, the boastfulness came out waen he said: “The most gigantic feat ever accomplished by an army, and one without parallel in his- tory, has been accomplished by the German Army. I do not beast. It is a fact and nothing else. Nothing can in any way place in the shade or sur- pass what you have accomplished, | however great and overwhelming it may be. * * * We do not know what is stjll in store for us, but you have seen how, in the four years of war, God’s hand bas visibly prevailed, punished treachery and rewarded he- rolc persistence.” In a telegram to the Sultan on Nov. | better for bronchitis, CARNIVAL of BARGAINS Men’s tan Elkskin heavy shoes with double soles that give extra good Spodi $2.60 Special Boys’ Gun Metal lace shees, all solid, all sizes.

At the same time he addressed the German Army and Navy, on Aug| 1, 1918, with this not overconfident message: “The fourth year of the war has brought us peace in the east. In the west the enemy has been heav- ily hit by the force of your assault.

The desperate efforts of the enemy will, as hitherto, be foiled by yourm blfn.ver!'. Of that I am certain, and, with me, the entire Fatherland.” Ten weeks later there was a deep note of desperation in his speech when he addressed his soldiers in Al- sace, saying: ‘“Neither the French nor the Americans will break through our front in Alsace-Lorraine. We shall defend with the last drop of our blood these provinces which belong to us, and which the Alncighty has intrusted us to administer as His stewards. Wae are under divine protection.” That was on Oct. 8. Within thirty days the Kaiser had abdicated.
