CHAPTER VI The Kaiser Defends German War Methods The Kaiser was always very care ful about everything which might affect his health, and even after the war started, when his attention was naturally occupied by many press ing problems, he did not neglect his teeth, but came to be as regularly as he had always done. Of this I was very glad, because it gave me an opportunity to draw the Kaiser out on many of the in teresting questions which the war suggested and which I found him always ready to discuss. Perhaps the fact that I was! an American led the Kaiser to greater lengths in his justification of German war methods and measures than he might otherwise have thought nec essary. The first time I saw the Kaiser after the war started was about August 10, 1914. Between eleven and twelve o'clock the night before I had been notified by telephone that the Kaiser would like me to attend him at the Berlin palace the following morning at 9 o clock. It was the first time In my relations with the Kaiser that I had been asked to treat him outside of my office, hut from that time on I at tended him at a ni-mber of differ ent plates—whenever liie. demands cf the war happened to take him. On this particular occasion, he was about to make his first visit to the front and wanted his teeth exam ined before he went. Explicit instructions were given mo as \o the pai titular door and court of \he palace I should enter.- and evid -ntly tha sentries had been notified of my coming, for I was lapidly conducted into a room on the ground floor. I had been in the room but a few moment when the door opened and, without any previous an nouncement. the Kaiser entered un attended He was wearing the new field-gray German uniform, in which I then saw him for the first time in my life. He wore no sword. 'Good morning, Davis," "he said, "these are very serious times, aren't they?" He seemed more sober than 1 had ever before seen him. "Are the rooms here suitable for you?" he asked. "If there is any thing you wish, you have only to ring the bell." The room was rather dark, but I told him that it would answer the purpose very nicely. . , The work I had to do for him was nothing of a serious character and did not occupy more than twenty minutes. One of his valets stood by to give me any assistance I might need, but left the room when I was through. "Have you been reading in the papers. Davis." the Kaiser asked when we were alone, "how our sol diers have been treated by the Bel gians?" I said I had not had a chance to read the papers that morning. "Well, you must certainly read them. They've been gouging out the eyes of our wo,unded and muti lating my men horiHbly! They call it modern, civilized warfare. That's savagery! I hope your President is taking notce of these atrocities." Of course I was in no position to contradict the Kaiser's assertions, as I was not in possession of any of the facts, but I learned afterwards that four American newspaper cor respondents had scoured Germany from one end of the country to the other in an effort to run down these reports. They left no rumor unin vestigated, no matter how far they had to travel to verify it. When they had finally exhausted every clue and followed every lead, they had not found a single case to* justify the charge the Kaiser had made against the Belgians, and which, of course, the inspired German press continued to report from day to day. The object of these lies was to justify the outrages which the Ger mans were committing in their plan to terrorize the inhabitants of the countries they were overrunning. According to reports the activities of l'ranc-tireurs in the occupied territories were met by the Ger mans with the most barbaric pun ishments, crucifixion and similar atrocities being very common. Un doubtedly the Kaiser was aware of what his soldiers were doing, and to defend their conduct he lent a ready ear to the unfounded charges made against the Belgians. "I have already framed a message which I intend sending to your President regarding the use of dumdum bullets by the Belgians and French," the Kaiser went on. "We have ample proof to establish this charge not only in the character of the wounds suffered by my soldiers, but in the shape of unused cart ridges which we found in the cap tured forts." Strangely enough, the Kaiser sent off his protest to President Wilson about the same day that President Poincare forwarded a similar pro test based upon the use of dumdum i bullets by the Germans. Regarding the violation of Bel gium's neutrality, the Kaiser was able to offer no reasonable argu ment. The fact that he was willing to pay Belgium for permission to allow his armies to go through that country was apparently sufficient justification in his eyes for taking by force what Belgium refused to sell. "How foolish of Belgium to have resisted us!" he declared, in this connection. "Had they consented to let us walk through, we would have paid them for everything— everything! Not a hair of their heads would have been touched, and Belgium to-day would be in the same happy financial condition that Luxembourg is." At a subsequent interview, we re ferred to Belgium again, and the Kaiser alleged that Japan had vio lated the neutrality of China when she sent troops through Chinese territory to seize Kiao-Chau. "It is all right for the allies to do these things," he commented sarcastically, "but when Germany does them England rises up in righteous indignation. The hypo crites! Why we found papers in Brussels which showed conclusively that England and Belgium had a secret agreement by which in the event of war with Germany Eng land was to be permitted to occupy Belgium! We've got those papers in Berlin. We could have no more positive proof against them. The Belgians were simply England's tools!" Just what papers the Kaiser re ferred to, I don't know, but if. in deed, any such agreement were ac tually made and the Germans did, in fact, succeed in obtaining, them, las the Kaiser alleged, certain it is I that the Germans did not know of ; their existence when they entered j Belgium in violation of that nation's i neutrality, and as far as Japan's con , duct with respect to China is con- Icerned, the Kaiser well knew that the passage through Chinese terri tory was not made in the face of a solemn treaty to respect the neu trality of that nation. Some of the arguments the Kaiser raised in his discussions with me re garding the war were so weak and untenable that one might well doubt his sincerity in urging them, but I shall give them for what they are worth. "They refer to us as the Huns!" the Kaiser observed bitterly. "If your people could see what the Rus j siAns have done in the Bukowina and Eastern Prussia, they would J kn'ow then who are the real Huns! I They destroyed everything they could lay their hands on. In one of my shooting lodges which the Cossacks entered they even knocked the teeth out of the boar's heads which hung on the walls! With knives they cut out the covers of my chairs. They had special fire bombs which they threw on peaceful villages. These bombs had been constructed in peace times and were designed solely for pillage and de struction. "Instead of treating their soldiers as prisoners of war we should have strung them up by the neck—every one of them." Several prominent Poles, who J AUGUST 20, 1918. were patients of mine and whose fine estates in Poland were looted and demolished, told me positively that the destruction and degrada tions were committed entirely by German troops. The Russians had occupied the houses when they were in possession of that section of the country, but it was not until they were driven out by the Germans that the acts of vandalism were commit ted, and they had convincing evi dence that in every case the German soldiers, and not the Russians, were responsible.
