FRIENDLESS KAISER.

DISCLOSURES BY A GERMAN I

ADMIRAL. jTlw, .ftx-KaiSe-r lsltfrmed "Germany's most dangerous enemy" in a brochure' entitled 'lKevelatioiis Regarding the Collapse;" -whieh the 'GermanUear-Admiral Foss has just published. . ' Admiral Foss, who attracted attention during Hie war by his Chauvinist writings, accuses Admiral von Scheer of tactical mistakes in the Battle of Jutland, and says he lacked energy. vt Admiral von Holtzendorff, he says that, although incapable, he was promoted Chief oWhe Admiralty Staff owing to his kinship with the Naval Cabinet Chief, von ■Muller, and to his relations with Herr Ballin. <

William II is loaded with accusation's by Admiral Fobs. Discussing tKe expansion of the German Khv*t-; for instance, he writes: did everything in a superficial, playful- dilettantist way. He let. a'thing drop which he had at first taken up with ardour, as after a shprt'time it lost interest for him, or lie no longer troubled himself about it if he came upon hindrances which could not straightway be surmounted. His conviction that he understood everything went so far that he even took part in a competition for drafting a plan for the construction of an armored cruiser initiated by the Imperial Marine Department," The admiral explains that the outbreak of war was caused,, firstly, by the character of the German people; secondly, by the character of the Kaiser; and thirdly, by the Constitution, which placed too great powers in the hands of the Kaiser. He further says that he had since 1902 regarded the Kaiser as the most dangerous enemy of Germany, and claims that he always professed this view by tongue and pen. It is remarked here that the fact that Admiral Fosb made known his antipathy to William II before now, is hoard -for the first time.
