Excerpt from The Trial of the Kaiser And Satan answered The Lord: I have heard of the Kaiser's oath, which he took when he was crowned Emperor, but since then and up to the present time, he (the Kaiser) has been guilty of the crime of 'blasphemy, ' in that he (the Kaiser) has used thy name IN vain. And the Lord said to Satan: Where dost thou get thy proof? To which Satan gave answer: The whole cosmos complains against him - that is to say, he (the Kaiser) is destroying the whole world, which thou hast created in order that thy people may keep the commandments thou hast given to thy servant, Moses, on Sinai.

His branches shall spread and his beauty shall be as the olive tree, and his smell as Lebanon.

Book Description
Excerpt from An Incident of War Order of the Kaiser There is no such thing as international law, as that term is frequently used. That may seem a hard saying, but it is a fact which becomes apparent to belligerents and neutrals when war is in progress. Nothing contributes more powerfully to the recognition of that truth than the varying claims and objections which are raised whenever a blockade is declared. The late Lord Salisbury, in a speech on the proposal to establish an International Court of Arbitration, he being at the time Prime Minister of England, remarked that international law has no existence in the sense in which the term 'law is usually understood. It depends generally upon the, prejudices of writers of textbooks. It can be enforced by no tribunal, and, therefore, to apply to it the phrase 'law, ' is to some extent misleading. Objections have also been raised to the word international. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from Impressions of the Kaiser The fifth year Of the Great War reveals the enor mity, but it does not yet disclose the dénouement, of this crime; which has filled with grief and smit ten with poverty tens Of millions of homes, swept from the earth in the Vigor of youth the flower of the manhood of several great nations, and leaves vast spaces scorched and blasted by the fires of devastation to be again rendered habitable by the labors Of Old men, cripples, and half-famished chil dren. With such a scene spread out before the eyes of the civilized world, vituperation and invective are only signs Of impotence. We cannot repair this calamity by denunciation. We cannot prevent its recurrence without suppressing its cause. The first necessity is to perceive wherein is to be found the root Of this evil.

Book Description
In the immediate aftermath of the armistice that ended the First World War, the Allied nations of Britain, France, and Italy agreed to put the fallen German Emperor Kaiser Wilhelm II on trial, in what would be the first ever international criminal tribunal. In Britain, Lloyd George campaigned for re-election on the slogan 'hang the Kaiser', but the Italians had only lukewarm support for a trial, and there was outright resistance from the United States. During the Peace Conference, international lawyers gathered for the first time to debate international criminal justice. They recommended trial of the Kaiser by an international tribunal for war crimes, and the Americans relented, agreeing to a trial for a 'supreme offence against international morality'. However, the Kaiser had fled to the Netherlands where he obtained asylum, and though the Allies threatened a range of measures if the former Emperor was not surrendered, the Dutch refused and the demands were dropped in March 1920. This book, from renowned legal scholar William A. Schabas, sheds light on perhaps the most important international trial that never was. Schabas draws on numerous primary sources hitherto unexamined in published work, including transcripts which vividly illuminate this period of international law making. As such, he has written a book which constitutes a history of the very beginnings of international criminal justice, a history which has never before been fully told.

Excerpt from The Schemes of the Kaiser More fortunate than the majority of the prophets who cannot speak smooth things, Madame Adam has lived to find honour in her own country: La grande Frangaise has come into her own. God willing, she' should live to see that revanche for which, through good and evil report, she has laboured unceasingly these forty-five years, to see the arrogant Prussian humbled to the dust and alsace-lorraine restored to France. 1917, she firmly believes will revenge and reverse the tragedy of 1871. More fortunate than the great British soldier who spent his veteran days in warning his countrymen of the ordeal to come, Madame Adam, now in her eightyzfirst year, may yet hope to see the banners of the Allies crowned with vic tory, the black wreaths on the statue of Strasburg in the Place de la Concorde changed to garlands of rejoicing.

Book Description
Excerpt from He Conquered the Kaiser It was, moreover, his knowledge Of the motives of men and of monarchs that left him quite undismayed when the launch with its dead had rushed past him up-stream. He saw at once that the man who handled the tiller was an emissary of the Prince of Sylvania, and that he would not dare to disclose his plight to the police. He knew very well that it would be better for him to return and ask the aid of the man whose life he had sought than to have any dealings with the slow and exacting Officials of Scotland Yard. It was this that made Mr Jones SO confident when he said to Strong: He will come back. The accident of Strong's introduction to the incident was, of course, annoying; but Mr Jones felt quite sure of his silence, and saw no need for disclosing the cherished secret of his identity. Here, however, he made a miscalculation, for Mr Montgomery Jones' secret was quite well known to Strong. It was this knowledge, indeed, which to some extent had made the flirtation with Miss Diana Montgomery Jones so inexpressibly sweet. It is not every day that one can dally with a princess in disguise. For this strange young man possessed a certain element of romance, which, if it is present in men of action, produces great results. And romance is after all only imagination, which John Oliver Hobbes said she had found more keenly developed in men of affairs than in poets. And Strong, though at that time no one ever dreamed it, was essentially a man of affairs. He was for the time a dreamer-a lazy troubadour waiting to be stung into action by necessity; and when the sting that produces action comes to the man of imagination the world is apt to know of it.
