CAUSTIC COMMENT IN AMERICA
"SLUSHY SENTIMENTALISM."
Hew York, September 15. The New York "Evening Post" says: "The Kaiser's speech is in contrast with his earlier boastful 'utterances. The Kaiser lias become ' the world's most hated'figure. He is the symbol of everything loathsome; he has an extraordinary talent for inspiring disgust, and bis references to religion are repulsive. The hypocrisy of the Bpeech bliows that the German people's moral is breaking. The New York "Tribune," commenting on tho Kaiser's speech at Essen, snys: "With more self-pity and slushy seiitimentnlism than Werther over showed, tho 'all highest' of Potsdam has again exhibited to tho world his mental and morfj calibre."—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn. [Werther was the hero of a novel or an excessively sentimental type, "'The Sorrows of Werther," by Goethe.]
