The Kaiser and the Moon in Iowa Commentary
Iowa editors mock Kaiser Wilhelm by likening his moonphase prayers to biblical Joshua. The piece ridicules his claim to command nature for wartime timing, contrasts him with Joshua, and notes Swiss hosting of Nicholas of Russia as an imposed policy. It ends with a skeptical take on marriage by force under a 20 year olds law.
