Of this 1 was very glad, because It
gave me an uppurtuulty to draw the
kaiser oat on many of the interesting
questions which the war suggested

to discuss. Perhaps the tact (kat I

greater lengths In bis JustlScaUoa se
German war methods and measured,
than he might otherwise have Megabit
netewry.
The Snit time 1 saw the kaiser after
the war started was about Angint 10,
19111 Between 'elev.n- and twelve
o'clock the night before, d bad Raub
&Milled by telepheae that 'the kaiser
would like me to attend hire at the
Berlin palace the following morutsj
at nine o'clock. He was about to make
him ant visit to the frout and wanted
his teeth examined before M went.
The work I had 10 do ler him was
nothing of a serious character and did
not occupy more than twenty minutes.
One of his valets stood by to give me
any assistance I might need, but loft
the room when 1 was through.
"Have you been reading In the pa-
pers, Davis," the kaiser asked when we
were alone, "bow our soldiers have
been treated by the Belglanar
I said I had not had a chance to
read the papers that morning."
"Well, you must certainly read them.
They've been gouging out the eyes et
our wounded and mutilating my men
horribly I They call It modern, civi-
lised warfare. That's savagery l I
hope your president is taking notice
of these atrocities."
(If course 1 was la no position to
contradict the kslser's assertions, u
I was not In possession of any of the
facts, but 1 learned afterward that
four American newspaper correspond-
ents had scoured Germany from one
end of the country to the other In all
effort to run down these reports. They
left 00 rumor unluveettgated, no mat-
ter how far they had to travel to ver-
ify it.. When they had finally exhaust-
ed every clue •nd followed every lead
they bad not found • stngle case to
Justify the charge the kaiser had made
against the Belgians and which, of
course, the Inspired German press con-
tinued to report from day to day.
The object of these lies was to jus-
tify the outrages which the Germans
were committing in their plan to ter-
rorize the Inhabitants of the countries
they were overrunning. According to
reports the activities of frane-tireurs
In the occupied territories were met
by the Germans with the most bar-
barle punishments, eroclSxlon and
similar atrocities being very common.
Undoubtedly the taller was aware of
what his soldiers were thing. and to
defend their conduct be lent a ready
ear to the unfounded charges made
against the Belgians.
"I have already framed a menage
which I Intend sending to you' presi-
dent regarding the nee of dumdum
bullets by the Belgians:end French,"
the kaiser went on. "We have ample
proof to establish this charge not only
to the character of the wounds suffered
by my moldier' but In the shape of un -
need cartridges which we found In the
captured forts."
Strangely enough, the kaiser sent
off his protest to President Wilson
•bout the same day that President
Polncare forwarded a similar protest
based upon the use of dumdum bullets
by the Germano.
Regarding the violation of Belgium's
neutrality, the kaiser was able to of-
er no reasonable argument. The fact
at he was willing to pay Belgium for
lesion to allow his armies to go

sufil of justification In his eyes for

At • subsequent lttiervtew we re-
ferred to Belgium again. and the kai-
ser alleged that Japan had violated
the neutrality of China when she sent
troops through Chimes* territory to
seize Klao-Chau.
"It Is all right for the ■lhhfi to de
these things," he commented earns -
tinily. "but when Germady does them

more positive proof strainer them. The
Belgians were simply England's tools!"
Some of the arguments the kaiser
ranted In his discussions with me re-
garding the war were to weak and
untenable that one might well doubt
his sincerity in urging them, but 1
?thrill give them for what they are
worth.
"They refer to us as the Huns!" the
kalser observed bitterly. "If your
