A KAISER STORY
ONE FOR &ROOSEVELT.
ONE of the funniest stories of the Kaiser appears in a Glasgow contemporary. It gives a conversation which is said to have taken place a few weeks ago between His Imperial Majesty and the Crown Prince. 'Jrown Prince to Kaiser : "Father, who started the war? Was it the Emperor Joseph or King Peter of Serbia, or King George, or had .the King of Bulgaria' or the Sultan of Turkey a hand in it ?" " No, no, my son," said the Kaiser, " none of them had anything to do with it. .There was a man called Roosevelt came from America to see me. Tlet him see my great army, my great navy, my great guns, and my huge stores of munitions. He gave me a pat on the shoulder, and said, 'Bill, you can conquer the world,' and I, like a blooming fool, believed him."
