THE KAISER’S LETTERS
SYMPATHY FOR THE CZAR.
(Australian and N.Z. Cable Assn.) Received January 15, 9.40 p.m. LONDON, January 13
The Kaiser writes a voluminous letter in November, 1905, inspired by the terrible tidings of the assassination of the Grand Duke Sergius. He expresses the belief that the deed cannot lie the act of Nicky’s subjects, but the crime of foreigners from Geneva. The Kaiser thinks the Czar, in his solitude at Tsarko Selo, will be interested in hearing what the civilised world is thinking about the Russian situation. He points out that the whole European press is flooded with opinions. I shall therefore draw a little sketch for yon, first asking your pardon, and craving your forbearance if, as a loyal and devoted friend, I record opinions which seem harsh and ungenerous and hurt your feelings.’’
