LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

EDWARD THE PEACEMAKER :*WILHELM ■THE MURDERtR

' Sir—l am rather amazed that no sig- , uificanee has so iur been shown to the ■ fact that, the abdication of the arbitrary. ] ruler of t!ie mighty "Empire of-Germany, including Prussia." was signed by the dethrone.l iiml debased murderer A\il-|, helm on November 0 the date ot our ate ~ revered Kins -"Edward the J'eacemkerV birthday. The mills of time ■ eriud s!.<w but sure, and Wilhftlins Birthday Hook should remind him upon ( investigation Unit he was a day or two too soon or lute is his last official act as Kaiser.' To me the ■ hand, of God seems li stretch out to indicate to; the people of the »-pr.ld that the spirit of the Peacemaker King should control the day and data oi the mtirdercv Kings debacle. Incidentally, 1 rather wonder if the reputed reason of Wilhelm'H hatred of our late Kin" and his mother. Victoria, beloved of "all, has been before the public caze recently." J rememoer the incident as a boy, but it came back to my mind ■recently I* one of Wells'* books. It is The Kiiiser as a much-spoilt arid extremely objectionable boy was. paying a v "to hi- grandmother, our late Queen Victoria. While in the home, for I shall just call it so. he spilt .the contents ot an .inkstand on the carpet of his pandmother's dtawing-room. He was nalura - lv n-nroved for liH carelessness, bj his grandmother, and it must ha assumed that his'elderly cousin, gave him the usual prerogative advice ot aneldei boy vhb fieU' inclined, to lick "/"""Vit for wilful wrongdoing. At all events, it is said, with what; truth one cannot .tell, that from the date of Uilhelm e castiga-N fion he conceived a real, if silent, halretl towards our late beloved Queen Victoria and her son "the Peacemaker. . It seem? that God in His-infinite wisdom and mercy has solved the merits ot the riuarrel by naming the day for the ninrdfuv:- * signing of his abdication, and 'row Our Gracious Majesty George the Fifth reigns stronger than ever in the united.love and reverence,of us people and greater-and-mightier in the eyes ot the wh*ie wid-3 would. The tacts seem to have, an interest that merits the publicity of this short' letter.— l. am, etc., s. i J ■A • 1 •. ■ November U.
