Although I had a second interview with the Imperial Chancellor, I was never able to ascertain definitely the reason of the Kaiser's anger against me.
It offered a bribe to Italian socialists and found work for Italian anarchists, whose representatives were received in the palace of the Kaiser's Ambassador in Rome. And most difficult task of all it reconciled, at least for a time, the interests of Bulgaria with those of Greece and Roumania.
Prince of Hildburghausen a general of small merit, though he has risen in the Austrian service, and we have seen him with Seckendorf in old Turk times has, for his Kaiser's sake, taken the command; sensible perhaps that glory is not likely to be rife here; but willing to make himself useful.
No; the kaiser's agent was not a figure of romance or of adventure. He was a force as able, as ruthless, as cruel as the land he served. "Miss Falconer," he demanded briefly, "where are those papers? I am not to be played with, I assure you. If you think I am, just recall this morning, and your chauffeur. We didn't kill him for the pleasure of it; he had his chance as you have.
This fact had been proved more than once, when he had given commands to men apparently much higher in rank. Following the brilliant victory of the British fleet off Heligoland, in which a number of the Kaiser's most powerful sea fighters had been, sent to the bottom, the Sylph had returned to London for repairs.
Is it surprising then that he should urge the people to go on with the war and promise them to reform the government when the fighting was over? The Kaiser's proclamation itself shows that the Kaiser is not through fighting. "Never before have the German people proved to be so firm as in this war.
On the seventh morning, the Kaiser announced his determination to make a last trial. It was dawn, and a youth stood before the Kaiser's tent, praying an audience. Conducted into the presence of the Kaiser, the youth, they say, succeeded in arousing him from his depression, for, brave as he was, Kaiser Heinrich dreaded the issue.
One of the most important naval battles of the war took place on January 24 in the North Sea between a British battle cruiser squadron under Vice-Admiral Sir David Beatty, comprising the battle cruisers Tiger, Lion, Princess Royal, New Zealand and Indomitable, assisted by a few light cruisers and destroyers, on the one hand, and on the other a German squadron, consisting of the battle cruisers Derflinger, Seydlitz and Moltke, the armored cruiser Bluecher, one of the finest in the Kaiser's navy, and several light cruisers.
The goosestep would be a great thing for destroying grasshoppers or cutworms in a plague year in a Kansas wheatfield. At the Kaiser's palace we witnessed all these sights, but we did not run across any bathrooms or any bathtubs.
Friedrich Wilhelm looks down like a rhinoceros on all those cobwebberies. No sooner are the Kaiser's carriage-wheels heard within the court, than Friedrich Wilhelm rushes down, by what staircase is readiest; forward to the very carriage-door; and flings his arms about the Kaiser, embracing and embraced, like mere human friends glad to see one another.
