THE KAISER’S LETTERS.

LONDON, January 18. The Kaiser, replying to "Nicky” regarding anarchist outrages, deciares "that they know that the arrangements by the Russia nand German Governments to control the anarchists completely miscarried because they can live with absolute impunity in London and concoct their murderous designs. All the Continental Powers should ask the English Government for a joint international agreement to fight these beasts. The right place lor tnem is the scaffold or life imprisonment in a lunatic asylum. I think it would be possible by common consent of the Powers io impose capital punishment for the manufacture of chemicals for bombs or using bombs.” Referring to the Czar’s troubles in the Duma, the Kaiser mentions a recent visit to the “kind old Emperor Francis Joseph. He is still remarkably fresh, though age has bent him a little. He also is much irritated by the behaviour of his Parliament. The hours I spent with’ him were most agreeable, through his warm-hearted kindness and chivalry.” In a further letter, written in December, 1907, the Kaiser informs ’’Nicky” that, by his visit to England, he (the Kiser) thinks he has "removed many causes of misunderstanding and distrust, so that the pressure on ths safety valve has been relieved. As a piece of news, quite private and confidential, for you personally, I found the British very nervous about the Japanese, whom they begin to fear and mistrust. The sailing of the American Pacific fleet angered London highly. They tried everything in their power to hinder it London is afraid of au encounter between Japan and America, because they must take sides with one of them. It will be a question of race, not politics only—yellow versus white. The dropping of Japan would immediately entail the loss of India, which the Japanese are quietly undermining and revolutionising. The Japanese have foreseen this development, and are. preparing for it. Perhaps they will first attack India, and leave the Philippines alone. British naval and army officers spoke openly to me and my officers of their disgust at the yellow alliance with Japan, whom they hate.”

The Kaiser recounted that he had received word that twenty thousand Japanese reservists, with hidden arms, were working on planations in Southern Mexico, that they indulged in secret drill, and were intended for use as an army corps to seize the Panama Canal and cut off American communications.

The Kaiser adds: "This is my secret information for you. so that you may have time to arrange your plans. It is sure and good, information. Developments may be slow. It is important to observe how the Japanese prepare themselves for the emergency. They are going in for the whole of Xsia, carefully preparing ’heir blows, and against the white races in general. Remember, my picture is coming true! If France sides with England in this affair Saigon and Annam are gone.”
