The former President says that he ordered the battle fleet assembled and that this action forced Germany to back down. The letter refers to the "Venezuelan incident" of 1902, when Germany, England and Italy threatened to eize Venezuelan territory in reprisal for damage done to the subjects in revolution.

In part, the letter reads: "I became convinced that Germany was the leader and the real formidable party in the transaction; and that England was merely following Germany's lead in a rather half-hearted fashion. I finally decided that no useful purpose would be served by further delay, and I took action accordingly. I assembled our battle fleet, under Admiral what he was going to 4e when he met him.

However, the captain of the ship, believing Lewis' storj't took pity on him and brought the entire outfit to the United States in pawn. WThen they arrived the St. Louis people paid the pawii money, released them from captivity and brought them on to the fair grounds. Among the heroes that Lewis1 succeeded in bringing over here for this show purpose was General Cronje, who was unquestionably the great hero of the Boer War. Also he brought General Viljoen, who is at present figuring in the troubles in Mexico, and who, in fact, was one of the mainstays of the late President Madero.

Another was Capt. Jack Hendon, who had been charged by Lord with dynamiting English hospital trains. There were at least 200 Boers and 200 Englishmen in the outfit, but beyond Captain Lewis and -Major Danby the historical celebrities were all furnished by the Dutch.

"I bow my head," he went on, "before the heroism with which women and men, without distinction of rank or class, bear their sacrifices, united in an ardent love for the fatherland." The Chancellor declared the German people again had an opportunity to show their appreciation of the heroism of the army by subscribing to the new war loan. He asserted "During the last week you have make matters worse, there was constant danger of a row between the Boers and the English. They had to keep the two ex-enemies apart. Any night there was apt to be a real war and ten or fifteen killed.

In three months of agonized exertion, with a loss of half a milhr.n men, the Entente has now regained three-tenths of 1 per cent of the lost territory. It is a simple matter of calculation that at the same rate of progress the Allies will reach the German frontier in eighty-four years; that is to say, the year 2000, provided they are willing to sacrifice 150,000.000 of men, which.
