His Written Confession 117HEN the Kaiser, on August 10, 1914, in the presence of Ambassador " Gerard, reached for a pad of telegraph blanks and wrote out in his own hand and in English his refusal of President Wilson's offer of medi ation, he unwittingly composed a confession of the greatest crime in the history of the world. His attempt at denial; his effort to hide behind a web of circumstantial details which expose what he sought to conceal; his inadvertent truthfulness when he crossed out "knowledge" and wrote above it "news," and his hypocritical regrets at the "neces sity" which forced him to slaughter millions, make up the most amazing document ever written. This letter reveals the real Kaiser. It measures the intelligence of the man who claims divine authority to rule the world. It is the crowning folly of the race of kings. Reproduced Just As the Kaiser Wrote It It was printed, misspelled words, crossings-out, underscoring and all, for the first time as part of the opening installment of former Ambassador Gerard's book in last Sunday's Philadelphia Public Ledger. So tremendous was the demand that it will be printed again in the ROTO GRAVURE SECTION of the Public Ledger for Next Sunday, August 12 Order immediately from your newsdealer, or mail the coupon for the complete series, including issues that have already appeared.
