(Recd. May 2,2 p.m.) LONDON, May 5.
“Glimpsing of the Great' is the title of a book published to-day by Sylvester Vierick, who,' interviewed the wordd’s great men to see how they look at life. The following are extracts:—
G. B. Shaw: “I would prohibit poverty, putting to death everyone earning less than £6OO a year or asking for more.”
Vierick asked Shaw whether he would like to be rejuvenated. Shaw replied: “If anything, I want to be senilised, but ask me in thirty or forty years’ time.” Tho ex-Kaiser said: “I tried to rule my Empire for the greater glory of God, and for the greater glory of God I will try to make Doorn more beautiful. God wanted me to rule thirty years as Emperor, and then discarded me. He allowed me to be dethroned perhaps to try whether it would shake my faith. It is not shaken. His Will be done.”
