M. Larnaude and M. de Is Pradelle produce a remarkable

document which proves that the Kaiser not only desired and approved but ordered the diabolical methods of warfare which have disgraced the German name. It is a letter written by the Kaiser to the late Emperor of Austria ;—

" My soul is torn, but everything must be put to fire and sword ; men, women, children, and old men must be slaughtered, and not a tree or house be left standing. With these method. of terrorism, which are alone capable of affecting a people as degenerate as the French, the war will be over in two months, whereas if I admit humanitarian considerations it will lost years:. In spite of my repugnance I have, therefore, been obliged 13 choose the former system."
