The Herald published last in
its issue last week some tele-
grams that were exchanged be-
tween the Kaiser and the Czar
in the years 1904-07. They had
been discovered* in the Czar’s
secret archives, after his abdica-
tion. Herman Bernstein, who
sent them to the Herald from
Stockholm, specified the Russian
agents from which he had re-
ceived them. They were of so
extraordinary a nature that
doubts regarding their authenti-
city^ were but natural. All such
doubts are now removed, how-
ever, by a semi-official statement
from the Berlin government, that
ally, was to be kept in ignorance
of until the last moment, when
she was to he compelled to ac-
quiesce in it, and which was to

Some such treaty was drawn up
pnd appears to actually have been
signed by the two monarchs. At
any rate in one telegram the Kai-
ser said: “We joined hands and
signed before God who heard our
vows.” It would appear that
the vacillating Czar shrank back
at the end. The German official

logue, and an unpardonable par-

of the majestic plans which the j
Kaiser cherished, and endeavored
to- work out, for an “invincible
alliance” with Russia and all of
it against England.
The details are simply amazing
It was not simply that the Kaiser
showed a disposition to meddle
everywhere and with everybody.
Nor is it merely the weakness of
the Czar, and his readiness to be-
tray France, which astounds. The
truly appaling thing is to find
autocrats plotting in secret to
dispose of vast national and inter-
national interests, very much in
the spirit of two sovereigns ar-
ranging to give each other uni
form in the army or navy, or to
which compelled her, so it was
said, to seize the sword. But
now-, there stands confessed the
attempt by the Kaiser to “encir-
cle” England and all Anglo-
Saxondom in a still more threat-
ening way. It was Germany that
began the Einkreisung; and on
her own principles the English
Government was justified in meet-
ing and defeating her with her
own diplomatic weapons. It can
not be maintained that the wick-
edness of King Edward VII con-
sisted in doing successfully what
William II sought to do in vain.
The disclosures now made are
certain to shatter the myth of the
Kaiser’s reputation. By them he

of foreign relations behind the
back of the ministers. What
would have been said or done if
these sensational telegrams had
been known 1 In a plainly apol-
ogetic tone the recent Govern-
ment communique in Germany
says that “probably the publi-
cation of this correspondence at
the present moment will produce
an appearance of autocratic ac-
tion, to support President Wil-
son’s message to the Pope.” But
the defense is that at the time
the Czar “held an autocratic po-
sition, and the Kaiser would
have been guilty of grave dere-
liction of duty if he had not exer-
cised his personal influence with
him.” That is not even a clever
way of trying to conceal the fact
that a couple of autocrats set
about determining the rate of
the world in private. It was sec-
ret diplomacy at its worst.
The telegrams between Kaiser
and Czar had their origin in the
Russo-Japanese War.Wilhelm was
abundant in advice, warning and
cajolery. Nor did he omit to dis-
play a keen eye for business.
The Imperial Bagman, as he has
been called, appeared in one tel-
egram to the Czar. “You ought
not to forget to order new ships
. . Our private firms wall
be most glad to receive con-
tracts.” But the great thing at
which he labored -was a secret
treaty between Russia and Ger-
many, which France, as Russia’s
confer a new order upon each I Wl11be Sreatly injured m his own
other. Nowhere appeared an inti- landabroad’ they will make it .ru-
ination that there was a govern-1 pos,slble, to p hlra back 01? tbp
ment to be consulted. The en- P?destal where some had placed
tire affair was kept from the full I h'm- Prof- K™° p rancke- for
knowledge of Chancellors and alii* *™0’ contended a year ago
Foreign Ministers. When in 1908'™’ whatever the world had
the Kaiser’s indiscreet message tboueht of thf s po lt‘°3’
to Lord Tweedmouth was made!*, muf concede tbat he had d,8‘
publie, Germany was convulsed; pla-vpd frpat queries as a ruler,
and Prince Buelow was finally ^ wlllbe lard to make men be-
able to assure the Reichstag that Ileve hla lon&or‘. In these tel-
the Kaiser would never again eSraras of the Kaiser to the Czar
seek to interfere in the conduct we have revealed the real Kaiser,
a meddlesome, restless, con-
ceited, unscrupiVons man with
only little grasp of the tremend-
ous force with which he was then
playing. He seems an embodi-
ment of the recipe how to bring
great empires low by small and
shallow minds. And what will
especially rankle in German and
American hearts today is that
this autocrat was secretly urging
the Russian autocrat to consult
the Duma which, “would be the
voice of the Russian people.
The question w'hieh Germans will
ask bitterly is why the Kaiser did
not, at the time when he was
trying to make an alliance
against England, as also when
the issue of war arose, consult
the representatives of the Ger-
man people. Was the Duma more
to be respected than the Reich-
stag?—New York Evening Post

After a
roundings. Yours is the duty of
investigation, comparision and ul
timate decision.
Your boy or girl is the hope of
your life. In him or her is cen-
tered your most cherished ambi-
tions. Ilis or her worth to you
cannot be measured by dollars
aud cents, but his value of her
value must be measured by the
training which he received in
home and in school. If the local
school were an ideal place for
your boy or girl, you wouldn’t
think of sliding him away from
home. Under present conditions,
they doubtless need more self-re-
liance because they lack the pow-
er of initiative, are wanting in
breadth the scope of vision, have
not learned how to study, canit
make for themselves, and are ig
norant of the fine art of a bus-
ness career. If so, their educa-
tion shoul he continued in a bus-
iness training school where disci-
pline really means something,
where personal supervision by
the faculty is constant, where our
service is rendered above every-
thing else, and where manly and
\vomanly~~eharacter and conduct
are held paramount to all other
considerations.
Our school offers many advan-
tages that no other school can af-
ford. Its location, excellency of
environments, its student body is
made up from the best homes of
the country, the faculty is second
to none, its discipline is the out-
growth of long experience, temp-
ered to conserve individual needs,
just, sane and firm. One or two
hundred dollars spent on your
boy or girl now may mean an un-
bounded success for their future
life. There is a time in every
young- person’s life for them to
consider education, and if that
time goes by unheeded by the
parents, and they fail in the fu-
ture, you are, in a measure, re-
sponsible for their future. On
the other hand, if you encourage
the seed thought of any educa-
tion when your son or daughter
is interested, it may mean the
turning point in their lives, and
will cause you much joy and hap-
piness in the future. One or two
hundred dollars spent on them is
one of the best business invest-
ments you ever made. It will
pay greater dividends in their
future than anything else you
could bestow upon them.
Our 228 page catalogue will
tell you as to the financial and
training standing of our institu-
tion. It will tell you of the en-
dorsements by the best business
men, ministers, lawyers and the
bankers, it will give you the ex-
perience of young people who
came to us with limited means anj,
in a short time in our school,
what their success and future
has meant to them. We know
you are bound to be interested,
so ask us to furnish you the big
proof of success. Our yarge,
beautifully illustrated catalogue

to keep the maximum of sailors
and soldiers insurance up to $10,-
000 when by a large vote motions
to cut it down t 0 $7,600 were all
voted down. Early passage of
the bill in administration form
now seems assured.
