THE KAISER.

MORE AMAZING LETTERS.

HIS DIPLOMACY REVEALED, fWnmG THE WORLD'S DESTINY. Wf t*lt«r»ph.~Pres3 Assn.—Copyright. Received Jan. 3, 2.55 p.m. London, Jan. 1. "Chauvanistic, Republican France, and intriguing, ridiculouß England," afford subjects for an Imperial homily in to- J day's series of the Kaiser's letters. | The sixth latter, dated September, i 1895, referring to the Far East, speaks I of the urgent necessity of uniting to resist Buddhism, heathenism, and barbarism for the defence of the Cross." The letter adds that "the united resistance of all European Powers is equally necessary agabut the common internal foes—Anarchism, Republicanism, and' Nihilism." The Kaiser proceeds to refer to reforms, in the French Army, involving a proposal to form a "new Continental army. My western frontier project has fallen like a thunderbolt, and created deep alarm in Germany, particularly as the French papers are telling us that th« army is meant to rush to our borderland in a revanche war." The Kaiser continues: "Events that are happening at the moment your officers are being decorated and Lebanon" feted by France, have given affairs an* ugly look, as if Russia would like France to take the offensive against Germany. God knows I have done all in my power to pifciw; peace, but if France goes on, tpealy or secretly, encouraged like this to violate all the rules of international tportesy and peace in peace times, one fine day, my dearest Nicky, you will find Vourself suddenly embroiled in the most horrible war Europe ever, saw, which, by the masses and history, perhaps, will be fixed upon you as the cause."

DANGERS TO MONARCHIES. Received Jan. 4, 5.5 p.m. London, Jan. 1. The Kaiser, to the seventh letter, diseonei tke dangers to monarchies:— Hi •ays it is not the fact of the friendship of Russia and France,that makes on nncaay. Every Sovereign is the sole matter of his country's interests, and shapes his policy accordingly, but it is the danger which is brought to our principle of monorchism through the lifting of a Republic to a pedestal by the form tnder which that friendship is shown. The constant appearance of Princes, Grand Dukes, statesmen, and generals in fall rigs at reviews, burials, dinners, and races, with the head of a Republic, makes the Republicans believe that they are quite honest and excellent people, with whom Princes can consort. Jaures ass on the throne of the King and Queen ia Prance by the grace of God, whose h*ads the Republicans cut off. "Nicky, take my word on it, the curse *f God has stricken that people forever," the letter proceeds. "We Christian Kings and Emperors have one holy ittty imposed by Heaven—to uphold the principle of Monarchism by the grace of <JW- We can have good relations with tile Republicans of France, but never imitate her."

NOT HELP BRITAIN. D«»ling with England, the Kaiser says that LobanofPs news during a visit to Berlin that he had reason to suspect that Slgland was after the Dardanelles, stupefled him. He adds: "The quaint way the Fleet iulkg round the Dardanelles indicated > hat it means something there." "Sir Louis Malet (British Ambassador to Turkey, 1913-14), during a farewell visit to the Foreign Office, used blusterbig words about Germany behaving badly t» England {n Africa, siding, 'after buying off France by concessions in Egypt, England will be at liberty to look after U.' He was eren so undiplomatic as to ase the word *war.' 1 answered that the British were making themselves ridiculous. If they got into trouble with anyone I would not move a Pomeranian Qrenadier to help them. I suppose that would cool them."

ECHO OF SOUTH AFRICA. The eighth letter, written in January, 1966, deals with, the Jameson raid, and? •ays that the- Transvaal Republic had twin attacked in a most foul way, and apparently not without England"'* knowledge. The Jetter continues: **l used vers severe language in London, and also opened communication with Paris for the common defence of our endangered interests. I hops all will come right, but I will never allow the British to stamp out i tie Transvaal." I 9w next two letters show the Kaiaefl touchy mood over the order of preoedence at the Moscow Coronation, it being reported that the hereditary German Grand Dukes were to have precedence over Prince Henry, the Kaiser's representative.

"Eke Kaiser reminds "Nicky" that his House, as the reigning one in Germany, is first. He next draws attention to the British "fanfarronades against us, which make them supremely ridiculous, and soaks no impression on me. The worse they are hampered in Africa, the better iot as in Asia."

A SECRET TREATY. Tfcen -that "unruly man Bismarck" raffled the Kaiser by inspiring Nachrichten to announce a secret fnfty between .Russia aiid Germany, to lie. valid until 1890, declaring that if Cither was attacked by a third Power, the «rth*r would observe a benevolent neutrafity.

W«e Kaiser wrote to "Nicky" express - Jug sorrow for the awful Bismarckian befcatkar, which, "though it is a coup aimed Against me personally, nevertheless it tajreaeats a breach of loyalty to your Garornment, and casts a slur on the memories p£ my grandfather, and I have ■lieady instructed my Chancellor how to irjaak in Parliament, and I hope you will tt satisfied by the manner in which the (■lufleV treasonable affair is treated. that Bismsrck'a shameless tmaiilWiU nf me in his press is trying to •naje pwgh believe that I am still under Xngßth influence.
