Kaiser May Be
Raving Maniac
ANY TIME
%
WASHINGTON, May 31 — It would not surprise our
State Department to learn that Kaiser \\ ilhelm is a raving
maniac, confined in an asylum, it has been known in in
side circles for some time that the German ruler was sut
fering from all symptoms of incipient insanity, and the
strain under which he has been laboring during the war
has aggravated his trouble. I
This insanity stuff is not brought forward as a joke.
It is a fact that alienists and other medical men in this
country are just beginning to get authentic wind of.
Reports have been received lately that the Kaiser has
become obsessed with the notion that he has a ‘‘divine
mission to save humanity."
His religious mania has been much accentuated.
Years ago when the writer was in Berlin tiie Kaiser s
condition was the subject of common gossip which for dip
lomatic reasons could not be written about in the news
papers.
Things happened on the occasion of Roosevelts visit!
to the kaiser v hich could he explained only as evidence of
a mind so erratic as to he bordering on insanity.
Those who have had opportunity to study the kaiser’s
case regard it as hereditary. His monomania lor all
things military, touched with a religious mania, has made
him tremendously elfective as an instrument of the milita
rist cult. • i
The kaiser all ids life has thought only in terms of war.
His great uncle. Frederick the Great, is his idea of what a
man and ruler should be. And every activity.of his mind
— which is normally a rather good student mind, experts
say — has been devoted to the purpose of building up
Prussian war-making power.
Science, learning, industry, the arts, the resources of
the country, beliefs, the pleasures and even the church,
the people's religious hearing of children and their train
ing in schools have been warped to the one purpose.

Before war days it was the daily and hourly task of
the Gdrman foreign office to keep a check on the kaiser
and see that his little insanities did not lead to diplomatic
consequences. He was constantly under espionage and in
tutelage.
When he talked too much and too indiscreetly he was
reminded to desist.
When he did or said foolish things to foreign diplo
mats apologies and explanations followed from the for-!
