i Then came the master crime. An unt
offending crime. An unoffending peoi
pie was ground into extinction beneath
an iron heel, a nation was destroyed,
r the crime against Belgium completed
i to its fullest; the Prussian stalked oni
ward with his twin comrades, Frightfullness
and Horror. A new blotch of
, infamy?the Lusitania?was added to
. the name of the beast. *
There was another man who lived in
, a White House. The chief and spokesman
of a great nation that believes all
i people were born free and equal with a
i right to peace and happiness.
, Then came the end. The dark curi
tain which, like a shroud, had envelr
oped the earth, cleared away, and,
when the echo of the last cannon had
i died upon the air, the silver-throated
bells of all the world rang forth the
f glad tidings: "William of Hohenzoi?
lem has fallen!"
Did you know that the Kaiser had a
? poison-filled abscess in his ear, and that
. if it burst he would be a raving maniac?
Did you know that the Kaiser's left
arm is six inches shorter than his right
> and that the hand is as puny as that of
child? And did you know how he carj
ried it in order to disguise the de(
formity?
I Did you know that the Kaiser has a

j bracelets and feminind rings, copied
^ from those he admires? That he has
360 full dress uniforms: that he was
twice kine. twice a crand duke. 18
