Washington, May 29.—Long

Bismarck himself was convinced I
that Wilhelm was crazy.
T he Iron Chancellor knew uie
kaiser from his childhood, and
knew the secret family history and!
family maladies of the HjohenzoHern
Some time before his death Bis- |
m*rck confided to his friend, Felix
flahn, distinguished German histo
iu:' and' lawyer, that the kaiser was
« lunatic. He Intimated that he
might have to be locked up. "If
the worst comes to the worst," said
Bismarck, "and it should become
nccessary to put him under restraint
my successor will have a more dif
ficult task than would have fallen
to my lot. For I feel sure th9 Ger
man people would have trusted me."

Another German chancellor, the
Prince Hohenlohe. said:
"Far from being the sincerely re
1 Rio us man which human stupidity
li*s credited him with being, he is
the coolest rationalist, the greatest
egotist, and the most ungrateful
person i ever came across."
Another German chancellor, Von
Buelor. w.ho had so much trouble
with the kaiser because of his habit
of "butting in" on, diplomatic sit
uations with personal telegrams
li^e the famous Kruger dispatch—
a dispatch which almost brought
Britain and Germany to blows inj t!a
nineties—gave a hint in the Reich
stag that he was irresponsible.
When Buelow was being attacked
for allowing the kaiser to commit
so many dangerous indiscretions,
ho said: "If you only knew what I
prevent."
Pope Leo XIll was one of the
I grea: world figures who came into
contact with the kaiser when, he1
was a young man. Th« Holy Fath
er's estimate of him Is perhaps the
j most interesting of all. Kere It Is:
"This young man Is obstinate and
, vain, and it is to be feared that his
; reign will terminate in disaster."
