Lois Syberkrop, of Creston, Iowa,
wrote the following satire on Kaiser
Wilhelm. People in every state in
the Union and in Canada have asked
for copies:
Ottumwa, Iowa,
The Infernal Region, 1917.
To Wilhelm von Hohenzollern,
, King of Prussia, Emporer of all
Germany and Envoy Extraordin
ary of the Almighty God:
My Dear Wilhelm;
I can call you by that familiar name
for 1 have always been very close to
you, much closer than you could ever
know.
From the time that you were an un
developed being I have shaped your
destiny for my own purpose.
In the days of Rome I created a
roughneck known in history as Nero,
he was a vulgar character and suited
my purpose at that particular time.
In these modern days a classic de
mon and efficient super-criminal was
needed and as I knew the Hohenzol
lern blood 1 picked you as my special
instrument to place on earth an an
nex of hell.
I gave you abnormal ambition, like
wise an oversupply of egotism, that
you might not discover your own fail
ings; I twisted your mind to that of
a madman with certain normal ten
dencies to carry you by, a most dan
gerous character placed in power; I
g ive you the power of a hypnotist and
a certain magnetic force that you
might sway your people. 1 am res
ponsible for the deformed arm that
hangs helpless on your left, for your
crippled condition embitters your life
and destroys all noble impulse that
might otherwise cause me anxiety,
but your strong sword arm is driven
by your ambition that squelches all
sentiment and pity.
1 placed in your soul a deep hat
red for all things English, for land
most; where England plants here
flag. Of all nations on earth I hate
England. She brings order out ol
chaos and the hated cross follow?
the Union Jaek. Under her rule wild
tribes become tillers ot soil and in due
time practical citizens; she Is the
great civilizer of the globe and
HATE HER. 1 planted In your soul s
j cruel hatred lor your mother because
j SHE was English and left by goof
i friend Bismark to fan the flame I had
I kindled, decent history proves how
■well our work was ■done. It brokt
your royal mother's heart. I gained
tny purposa.
The inherited diseajsa of the Hoh
enzollerns killed your father, just a?
it will kill you, and you became tht
, ruler of Germany and a tool of mine
, sooner than I expected.
To assist you and further hastei
my work 1 sent you three evil spirits
•Neitsche, Treitschke and later Bern
hardi, whose teachings inflamed tht
youths of Germany, who in good Unit
would be willing and loyal subpect?
and eager to spill their blood and pull
your chestnuts, yours and mine; the
spell has been perfect—you cast youi
ambitious eyes toward the Mediter
ranean, Egypt, India and the Darda
nelles and you began your great rail
way to Bagdad, but the ambition?
archduke and his more ambitious wife
stood in your way.
It was then that 1 sowed the seed
in your heart that blossomed into
the assassination of the duke and hi?
wife, and all hell smiled when it saw
how cleverly you saddled the crime
on to Servia. I saw you set sail for
the fjords of Norway and I knew you
would prove an alibi. How cleverly
done; so much like your noble grand
father, who also secured an assassin
to remove old King Frederick of Den
mark, and latter robbed that country
of two provinces to become a naval
power. Murder is dirty work but it
takes a Hohenzollern to make u way
and get by.
Your opportunity was at hand, you
set the world on fire and bells of
hell were ringing. Your rape on Bel
gium caused much joy. it was the be
ginning, the foundation of a perfect
hell on earth, the destruction of noble
cathedrals and other infinite works
of art was hailed with joy in the in
fernal regions. You made war on
friend and foe alike and the murder'
of civilians showed my teachings had j
bome fruit.
Your treachery toward neutral na-J
tlons hastened a universal upheavel,
the thing I most desired. Your under
sea warfare is a master stroke, from
ihe smallest mackeral pot to the great
Lusitana you showed no favorite, as
' a war lord you stand supreme, forj
you have no mercy, you have no con
j sideratlon for the baby clinging to its
| mother’s breast as they both go down
i into the deep together, only to be torn
apart and leisurely, devoured by
sharks down among the corals.
I have strolled over the battle
fields of Belgium and France. I have
seen your hand of destruction every
where; it's all your worts, superfined
that I made you. I have seen the
fields of Poland, now a wilderness fit
for prowling beasts only; no merry
children in Poland now; they suc
cumbed to frost and starvation. I
drifted down into Galcicia, where
formerly Jews and Gentiles lived hap
pily together. I found but ruins and
ashes. I felt a curious' pride in my
pupil, for it was all above my ex
pectation.
I was in Belgium when you drove
the peaceful population before you
like cattle into slavery; you separ
ated man and wife and forced them
to hard labor in trenches. I have
; seen the most fiendish rape commit
ted on young women and those who
were forced into maternity were curs
ing the father of their offspring and
I began to doubt if my own inferno
was really up to date.
You have lived fat on the land you
usurped and sent the real owners
away to starvation. You have stray
ed away from all legalized war meth
ods and introduced a code of your
own. Yo-ft have killed and robbed the
people of friendly nations and destroy
ed their property.
i uu art; a imr, a uypiicriw; ami a
bluffer of the highest magnitude.
You are a part of mine and yet you
pose as a personal friend of God. Ah.
; William you are a wonder. You wan
tonly destroy all things in your path
and leave nothing >or coming gener
ation*.
I was amazed when I saw you form
a partnership with the impossible
Turks, the chronic killer of Christ
ians. and you a devoted worshipper
of the Lutheran church, i confess,
William, you are a wonder at times,
i A Mohammedan army, commanded by
German officers, assisting one anoth
er in massacreing Christians is a new
line of warfare. When a Prussian
officer can witness a nude women be
ing disembowled by a swarthy Turk
committing a double murder with one
cut of his saber, and calmly stand by
i and see a house full of innocent Ar
menians locked up, the house saturat
- ed with oil and fired, then my teach
ings did not stop with you, but have
i been extender! to the whole German
nation. 1 confess my Satanic soul
grew sick and then and there I knew
the pupil had become the master.
I am a back number, and my dear
Wilhelm, 1 abdicate in your favor.
The great key of hell will be turned
over to you. The gavel that has
struck the doom of damned souls
since time began is yours. I am Sat
; isfied with what 1 have done—that
my abdication in your favor is for
the best interest of hell. In the fu
ture 1 am at your majesty’s service.
Affectionately and sincerely,
LUCIFER H. SATAN.
