A man is known by the friends lie gathers around him! [Continued from Yesterday.] It was a motly array of weaklings I found in the Imperial household. The Kaiser shunned strong char acters—they annoyed him while, in the presence of weaklings, he al ways felt the strong man himself. I think the man whom I despised most from the day I entered the palace was Major von Liebenau, the court marshal, who for many years exercised a strange influence over the Kaiser. I had seen royalty born, and had helped to distribute its garter on the wedding eve; I had stood at its death bed, and in royal company had enjoyed the good things of this world—in fact the greater part of my life had been spent at court; but where formerly 1 was welcomed as a friend and companion, I was now—such are the vicissitudes of life —merely one of a few hundred attendants. Was, then, Madame de Cornuel's adage, that no great man is perfect in his valet's eyes, to be brought home to me with terrible force right at the beginning? "These people," I argued to my self, "are like sponges, absorbing the atmosphere of their environ ment, being at the same time too careful of their own interests to as sume an attitude out of countenance with that of their betters. Court-Marshal's Advice: "Be a I/iar and Hypocrite" The voice of Cpurt-Marshal von Liebenau, now my superior, woke me from the reverie into which I had dropped. "My dear Baroness," said the courtier, rising from his arm-chair, "take a bit of friendly advice be fore you select your suite of rooms among the apartments set aside for Her Majesty's ladies. If you -wont to .succeed at our court, leave all thoughts of independence, all In born notions of truthfulness and common, evory-dny honesty, outside the palace gate, divest yourself of personality all individualism save that oi our masters' is odious—ho an automaton pure and simple, smile upon Her Majesty's wlilms. do not 1h- milled by a superior's insnlt, and if at any time you must fly into a rage, retaliate upon those under you." I was about to speak, to protest, but tlio Court-Marshal anticipated me. "I know what you want to say," he cried: "you think It mean and contemptible to let the Innocent suf fer for their betters' wrongs, and I agree with you. But we all do It, must do it; it is a sort of lightning rod for one's ill-temper. An revoir. • Once more—be an automaton." William's Double Liebenau was a man after Wil liam's own heart, lits double In more than one respect. A lieuten ant in the First Guards, he attract ed the then Prince William's atten tion by the same characteristics that drew him to the younger Bis marck. When William was Crown Prince studying statecraft in the foreign of fice under Count Herbert's tutelage, Liebenau got his real foothold in the princely menage established in the Marble Palace, which he ruled with a high band. At the same time the heir to the crown was revelling in the charms of divers queens of tragedy, comedy and the ballet, at tached to the royal play and opera houses, taking his cue about "the only use woman's fit for" from Count Herbert who never spoke of the other sex except in the coarsest of terms. William's yonng wife saw herself reduced to the position of a "Hol stein," good enough to fill a succes sion of royal cribs, ranging in size like the pipes of an organ. She was rigidly excluded from her husband's world of ideas and ambitions, which, perhaps, she did not comprehend, but, for all that, endorsed with touching sincerity. These were In deed unhappy days for the royal Atigusta Victoria. How often she has poured the story of her mortification and, dis appointment into mine and the Countess Brockdorff's ears! Poor Princess! She had been brought up to the sober truth thai royal women must get used to dividing their hus and with others and bowed her blonde head under the historic bane not with the worst of grace. What rent her heart was William's cyni cal way of regarding woman's su preme duty and highest honor motherhood. Kalsorln Laments ner Destiny. '•I don't want to IK- looked upon as n means for propagating the royal race exclusively," she cried once. "But under Count Bismarck's teach ings, the Prince seems to liavc for gotten pint I possess any womanly qualities besides that or chlld-hcar lug." Fearful lest Her Royal Highness' hatred of Count Herbert might lend her to rasli remarks in the presence of the old Emperor and her hus band with both of whom young Bis marck was persona grata, I tried to intervene by suggesting that he was not altogether a 'bad man, having fought with distinction in the French war. "Yes, yes, I heard plenty about that," interrupted Augusta Victoria, impatiently; "he is said to have re ceived three bullets, and since then has made three of our sex extreme ly miserable —tliat person in Bonn, who caused the duel: the poor Prin cess Carolath, and myself." The fall of the Bismarcks is a matter of history, but that the pres ent Empress played a decisive part in it, few, if any, writers have a notion of. It is true, Augusta Vic toria dreaded her husband's parting with tlie Prince, but feared even more the constant intimate relations between William and Herbert Bis-1 Dives, Pomeroy& Stewart Introducing the New Tiny Low Crowned Sailors and Demure Watteau Hats Boys .

Women Overthrow Iron Chancellor Whether Herbert Bismarck made such promises I cannot say; enough that my mistress believed he did, and persuaded Countess Waldersee (the former Miss Lee of New York) to believe it also. Her Excellency was a most pious woman, and Her bert necessarily figured in' her in ventory of proscribed persons with a big "H," as Baron von Mirbach put it. How the two august ladies worked for the downfall of the hated man; a few pin-thrusts here, an allusion to the old Chancellor's ambition to set up a throne beside the throne there. "Crown Prince Herbert," "Woman beater Herbert," "Son of his father," and what not? And in the end: "Down goes the mantle, and the I Prince must follow." Of tho old Cluuicellor, guilty of l two pardonable sins: that of pos sessing undoubted popularity, far exceeding the Emjieror's, and a liearty disinclination to accommodate himself, after years of supreme rule, to the part William intended for him—of this "obstreperous servant" tho Kaiser had been tired for a long time, and the separation enforced in March, 1890, was nothing if not premeditated. Indeed, the Kaiser's inviolable intention to dismiss the "old man," as he called him, was ex pressed as far back as October, 1889 to Czar Alexander of Russia. However, the Kai3er had no no tion whatever of getting rid of Count Herbert Bismarck too. Only the gross coercion used against the "old man" on the one hand, and on the other the fact that Bismarck, 'when making the historic appeal to the Empress Frederick —"his last stand" —learned that the petticoat camarilla had worked against his son as diligently as the Kaiser's in creasing querulousness and thirst for independence—this aggravating cir cumstance alone forced resignation upon the count. "And what will you do?" asked. William, the Secretary of State. "Follow my father," answered Herbert. • • • Liebenau, though more the Kai ser's alter ego than Herbert, was never on terms of intimacy with William, who selected him as Ma jor-domo when, after his marriage, his household was established, for the same reason that, in 1897, prompted his nomiuatton of a gen eral of cavalry for the position of Postmaster General, viz.: because he was a gpod driller, a disciplinar ian of the sort that does his mas ter's bidding without tho slightest thought for the feelings of others. An official reputed to carry out or ders unflinchingly and, if need be, unscrupulously, was always apt to attract a man of William's arbitrary temperament. I.lebenau's- Secret of Power There was another poiiy; speak ing in Llebenau's favor. At first William's income was 'a little over $50,000 per year, a mere bagatelle, considering the pretensions of both master and mistress; but the Court marshal, coming from a family in which the Prussian saying, "Golden collar—stomach hollow," has had practical demonstration through generations of uniformed, spurred, and sabred vaingloriousness and mis ery, promised to carry on the stew-, ardship that would have been mori bund in most other hands, to a nice ty—promised it, and kept his prom ise. He did more. During the first two or three years, at least, he man aged to set aside for the personal use of the Prince considerable funds. Later, debts were contract ed; they were not of Liebenau's making, though. But, while ingratiating himself with William, and, in fact, with the entire royal family—this "mounted beggar," as the old Empress Augus ta calle® him, showed his natural inclination for the noble art of browbeating. Loyalty itself (I doubt whether a more loquacious reciter of courtly phrases and of assurances of re spect and humility ever addressed a royal lady), nothing seemed to give this intriguer more satisfaction than to refuse, on the plea of expenditure, whatever the future Empress ex pressed a wish for in the way of food, or petty luxury, not on the daily list. / "Think of it," she said to me one morning, "this Liebenau refused me a glass of Madeira for'second break fast, claiming his budget would not permit such extravagance when we are alone, there being hardly enough to set the table as it ought to be set when the Prince himself is present. " 'My appropriation scarcely war rants (he purchase of expensive wines for Hid Royal Highness' own consumption,' he had the impudence to tell me. I nearly choked with anger." Attempts to Outroyal Royalty When William became Crown Prince, Liebenau retained his posi tion at .the. head of the largely aug mented household: but, on assum ing the throne, the Kaiser kept him ion the anxious bench many weeks, before granting him the rank und title of Chief Grand-marshal of the Court. Liebenau established a reign of terror at the palace, as William had done in some departments of gov ernment; but, while the Kaiser wait ed before promulgating his boust and threat: "There is but one master— none other will I tolerate." his Mur shal proceeded at once to demon strate that he was the real King's lieutenant, vested with absolute power from whose decisions no ap peal could be had. And that was no idle talk, for in domestic affairs the Kaiser listened to no one but him. Court a Tremble Tlius, with a master the very re verse of iHtiitc, accessible, or gen erous, and a siibmaster trying to outdo tlie other in arbitrariness and contemptuous treatment or all be neath liini in rank or soelul station, our Court was in a wretched plight, and the Empress' Indies especially suffered from this barraek regime. Our private apartments in the Scliloss at that time left much to wish for in a sanitary sense, as in deed they do now; but whenever Countess von Brockdorff, or any of us, ventured to suggest the slightest improvement to the Court-marshal, that functionary cut short our com plaints in the rudest manner pos sible. And not only that; even the Empress' orders were treated much in the same insolent fashion, so the whole Court was kept in a perpetual turmoil. Disgraceful Rows in Pnlnee The male dignitaries and officials! of the imperial household fared no] better than ourselves under the King's lieutenant, and disgraceful rows and minor disturbances were of almost daily occurrence, while tho servants, besides being subjected to the coarsest treatment, had to endure threats of corporal punishment.

Only Hope for Russia Lies in American Aid Philadelphia, March 11. —Madame Catharine Breshkovukayn, the "lit tle grandmother of the RusSidn rev olution," last night told members of the Contemporary Club that the only hope for Russia and (he only cure for Bolshevism lies in the aid given by the people of America. She Baid that help was needed badly and tliat only through such help could Russia struggle out of the chaos into which she is plunged. Aid not only in words but deeds is needed, Madame Breshkovukaya as serted. Aid in the shape of food and clothes and all the other necessities of life is the sort of help that will turn the tide against Bolshevism. Education is another fuctor that will play an important part, she said, but that, of course, can only come with time. Bolshevism, she declared, is an idea and not a government.
