"People do not remember," states this apolo <nst for the Emperor Willi elm, "the In ternational Labour Conference of 1890. when the Emperor gave social demoo racy the free hand which enabled it to conquer a section of the Kaiser as tnc typical war lord is altogether erroneous, ne Ins had manv opportunities of giv in ff Germany a stronger foothold by means of war, but he has always refused.

He always shared Lord Sali? bury's dream of a federation and league of European Powers. During tin* Beer war Professor Delbrueck said that the Kaiser was the only friend England had in Europe.
