THE KAISER.
PICTURED AT THE JUDGMENT BAR. Israel Zaugwill pictures the Kaiser at the Judgment Bar. The Judge would—l imagine—wind up : “Your punishment, prisoner at the Bar, shall be to be born again, but of Belgian refugees in poverty, and a modem man ot genius instead of a medievial man of talent. Hence what you shall strive for shall be Brotherhood, not Empire, and in place of a world of flatterers and parasites to magnify each mediocre gift, there shall be round you a world of enemies and disbelievers to deprecate, flout and deny you. Instead ot the crown of sovereignty you shall wear the crown of thorns. You shall know no glory of triumph, but only the tragedy of labouring in the Darkness for a cause that shall seem hopeless, till at last, fainting and heart sick at the sight of cities desolated and homes death-stricken, and millions of men turned into manure heaps, you shall cry out, ‘My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me ?’ And in that moment perchance through the great blackness thou shalt see the glimmer ot light.”
