Ho is fighting for the Germans, j but has his own viewe. These he has expreed in a manner which has got j him into trouble. He wrote: We have fought France, taken i back AJae and Lorraine, as we formerly took Sfhleswig. Unfortu-natelv Unfortu-natelv we forgot Jutland and the island's. This time it is the whole of Denmark that we bhall take. Jt wiil be equally agreeable to take Sweden, ihe has the good port at Kar'.skrona. which can be useful to u?. We shall naturally absorb Holland as we have already p it Belgium in our pocket. It is evident that small countries like this must vanish like gmoke. After this campaign we shall be macnificent and splendid. We shall then take, as a matter of course, Austria, Spain, England, Russia and Turkey. We shall occupy oc-cupy Asia and annex Africa. - As for" America, it will become our colony. Don't Want HelL In the world nothing that is worth taking will be left. The planet is evidently too small. We shall go with Von Mohke to the moon, and extraordinary things will take place there. We shall fortify tho two poles with Jbat-t Jbat-t cries." Next we shall bombard the sun and equip an expedition to heaven. The kaiser and his Angus An-gus ta will pay a visit to heaven. We shall then annex heaven and, faith. Wilhelm will be God. We would also occupy hell, but there we have already Bismarck as the devil. The Dane's phantasy -was discovered, and he was taken before a Prussian court-martial and sentenced to four months' imprisonment. A German ofiicer, who had been for some months in Ghent, where he lodged with a merchant, had remarked that hig host, though cold, was ecrupulous-lv ecrupulous-lv polite toward him. B-ecently the , German officer said to the merchant: You have nothing to fear from the Germans, even if Belgium has to be annexed. Our emperor is eo generous that if Brussels became a German city he would nominate King Albert burgomaster of the capital. To this the merchant replied: It is possible. But our king is more generous still. I am certain that he would not hesitate a moment mo-ment to nominate your emperor lock-keeper at Nieuport. Your kaiser would then be able to cross the Yser when he liked. . . i |
