EX-KAISER’S IDEA OF KINGSHIP BOOK ON HIS ANCESTORS (Australian and N.Z. Press Association) Reed. 10 a.m. BERLIN, Sunday. The ex-Kaiser’s secretary has published a book, “My Ancestors,” which the ex-Kaiser intended as a gift to his wife on his 70th birthday. The former emperor champions the Divine right of kings, describing his ancestors as plain administrators of God, always characterised by their piety and their responsibility toward the deity. Discussing the Electoi' George Williams’s attempt to save Brandenburg during the Thirty Years’ War, he says that diplomacy can only be effective if there is a nation in arms behind it ready to enforce its will. Only might creates a nation’s respect to another nation's interests. The ex-Kaiser concludes: — “Germany must remember my father’s motto, “ ’Fearless and Faithful.' Without these qualities a country is bound to perish.”
