KAISER'S FORMER DENTIST.

STORY OF GERMAN BOASTS

THREATS ArGAINST AMERICA

The Kaiser's American dentist, Dr

Davis, who remained, in Gor

man v. nine months after tiie Unit*- I States entered the war, delivered aspeech whi<h extracted £7(X).OCO in new subscriptions to the Liberty Loan horn a crowded horror-stricken audience at the 'Carnegie Hall, New York.

Before his release Dr. Davis went to the German headquarters to attend to the Imperial teeth, and as the dentist was a privileged person he availed, himself of the opportunity to say to the monarch:' "You are under-estimating the pow-er of the United. States, sire." The Kaiser curtly replied : "I under estimate nobody, sir." High officers'at Headquarters boasted to Dr. Davis that their chemists had discovered a new and terribly deadly gas' with which they expected, to kill a million people In the City of London. They said that this .'gas would, be dropped in bombs carried byi huie aeroplanes, each equipped with six motors, and would penetrate into the deepest cellars and underground railways.

"Dr.- Davis proceeded: "These same high official.? boasted, to 'me that the aeroplanes' of which they spoke would or capable of flying to New York and back. They bragged', too, of supersubmarines which could easily con;,* here and; us; and it was plain from the way they talked that they were trying to give me the impression that these air and underwater machines would menace the safety of New York."

Dr. Davis drew a gratify ins picture of the food and other hardships' 'the German's are and advised the United Stnt.ep Government to ship to Germany all the pro-Germans in that

onntry. After -three days in Germany-, lie said, they would be wanting l o reform and become patriotic Americans.

Since his return to the United States, Dr Davis- said, frequent inquiries had -fached him with regard' to the reason why he did not utilise his position as mperial dentist to give the quietus to the- universal assassin.' He replied that Uie German people/themselves would, vhen the time came, attend to this.
