The Real Kaiser PDF Download

Excerpt from The Real Kaiser The personality of the Kaiser is so many sided that his true psychology is very difficult to discover by the ordinary newspaper reader, who, for twenty years, has taken at face value every one of his numerous speeches without remembering the one that preceded it. Since the war broke out, extracts from these speeches have been presented to the public, with the effect of entirely bewildering the large class who have intelligence, but have no specialized knowledge of Germany and her ruler. To them, modern Germany, with her dreams of world-domination, as it is now made known, is an entire contradiction of all their preconceived views of the peaceful domestic nature of the German people, and the Kaiser is a dozen different men in one body. Yet the careful student of things and persons German for the past quarter of a century finds himself in no amazement about the war and its conduct by Germany, and to him the Kaiser as the Peace-bringer, the "shorter catechist," and the war lord, not to speak of the painter and the musician, show one strong personality and purpose underlying each exaggerated manifestation.
