Thompson Feature .Service, 1319, Copyright [Continued from Yesterday.] Wilhelm Brands Himself a Mar However, one of the Kaiser's adju tants told me at least a week be fore the scandal became public that His Majesty had promised himself and them a great hullabaloo "pre vious to his brother's sailing." Of course, that exonerates Prince Henry; he evidently "performed his damned duty," as they say in Prus sia. But, granted the Kaiser created this opportunity for insulting the Iteic-hstag in a moment of anger, that would not explain the several pal pable inconsistencies of iiis mes sage,—particularly, the nonsense of the assumption that an appropria tion made in January or February would permit the placing in service of a battleship, one or two months luter; and, the obvious untruth that a better ship was not available. Returning to Prince Henry, Jimmy Gerard is the only personage, offi cial or otherwise, who ever gave him a clean bill of health, forgetting that not so many years ago the Kaiser sent his younger brother to Amer ica to debauch not only America's patriotic manhood! His secret in-1 struetions read: "Get next to as many rich American women as you ••an: make love to them; entangle tlicm in intrigues: 110 anything and everything short of creating a pub- How Fat Folks May Become Thin If you are suddenly becoming stout, or if you have been putting on flesh for years, the cause Is generally the same—lack of oxygen carrying power of the blood.

And may it please Your 11 toy til Highness to keep the minutest records of all your meetings and of all the women's sayings and doings for the benefit of our Foreign Of fice, Section American Finance." So that if, at any future time, American Financiers show reluc tance in meeting the Fatherland's demands or needs, the Foreign Of" fiee would have means, vulgai-ly 1 speaking, for holding them up. Such was the Kaiser's highntinded intention. Tllo scheme miscarried because American women are cn ; downed with self respect as well ns . with beauty. | Sponging 011 His Army Officers Strange, that at the outbreak of ! the German revolution the far ' | fumed Prussian Army Officer did 1 not rush to his Kaiser's support, , said many, who believed the insid ious propaganda, about unconquer ! able German loyalty. For one tiling the Kaiser> had | Played false to a great number of j army officers individually, besides j the four hundred mentioned, and was , rated a pompous martinet and brutal 1 muster rather than a general of the .Napoleon or Grant style, who were ! beloved and honored by their men. I Who has not read of William's | thundering philippics against lux ! ury in the officers' corps of the ! army ? "The Prussian lieutenant, captain, , and colonel must find supreme satis faction hi a frugal life. To live ' a note ones income is the .source of all social evil, only the command ing generals have 'duties of repre ! scntation" to fulfil, and their Ex [ cellcneies shall not spend more for j the purpose than the state appro priation permits," these arc stock J phrases of his. And as a variation 1 of the stories 011 patched Holien -1 zollcrn trousers, the official tele ! graph bureau never failed to add the i interesting information that the | chief war-lord suffered the red fan-j j ings of his uniform lo lie renewed ; several times before he throws : away a coat, i In order to see whether his com j mamls were strictly obeyed, the Kaiser invited himself to breakfast j at the casino of some regiment every j 1 little while, announcing that he | I would pay ten marks for his and | liis suite's entertainment, not a penny ' more. How 11c Imposed on His Army Now, the managers of these insti tutions knew that His Majesty had his preferences as to wines and vic tuals, and the imperial Court-mar shal was only too ready to enumer ate them to the anxious. So French champagne of the high est grade, costly Rhine wines and ; Burgundy, imported cordials and ! cognacs, were bought, also game and | fresh sea-food, which latter is a i luxury with us. Furthermore, the exterior and in : terior of the club building were dec orated, and often partly renovated, "and when, after all thefje prepara tions, the lavish outlay made, the imperial master departs with his | corporal's guard of attendants" | (when he had to pay for them ho i never brought more than half a j dozen gentlemen), "and. on taking j leave, remarked with sclf-satisfled J emphasis: 'You see, my dear colonel, j ten marks is finite enough for any body to spend 011 his stomach: I have had a very good breakfast' ! (or dinner), 'indeed, for that amount at your house,' you 1 should study the faces of the sub- I altera officers," saitl the Kaiser's ad j Jutants. "Count Eulenburg," they argued to I themselves, "will send the govern ing board sixty or seventy marks I within tlie next three months to pay for the exact number of seats oc cupied by the imperial party, while we poor devils will have to pay for the Piper, or Koedoror, and the other delicacies, out of our monthly pit tance next week." As a matter of fact, it used to cost a regimental mess from five hundred to tifteen hundred marks every time the war-lord tried its ten marks' menu, and Ihe officers had Ito make up the difference. There have been times when the [ pleasure of feasting the sovereign j eost the lieutenants of the Potsdam garrison one-tenth of their pay for several months in succession, and when the uniformed batmen of tlie.se pretty young fellows hail to go without their more than modest wage in consequence. But that is not all. The Kaiser's | adjutants report from time to time : stories of wrecked lives—lives of ! army men who were lured upon the I patii that kllleth, in consequence of William's casino visitations. Prussian Ciuards in Debt It is a mistake to think that the j majority of officers serving in the ; Prussian Guards were wealthy men; 1 a good many arc sons of high offi ! cials, endowed With mighty titles ! joined to a diminutive salary, who can give their boys but very scant I assistance. Of course, these handicapped chaps wanted to shine with the rest, ! and working, as it were, under the , eyes of the imperial chief, endeav ! ored to attract his attention. Now, 1 there was only one way for a sub l altera officer to secure this boon [under William, viz.: to dress smart | ly, for the Emperor was known to pick the best-accoutred man out of a hundred any time. ; Hut if one aspired to he the Beau i Brummel of the ballroom, the hunt ing-field, the club, the drill and HARJUSBURG TELEGRAPH parade grounds, credit with the regimental wardrobe-master was soon exhausted. Tailors demanding enormous profits us an offset against the risks involved had to be em ployed, and from them to the usurer was but one step. According to this recipe, Count von R , a dashing captain of the Body Hussars, was ruined, and Herr von L , of the First Guards, kept him company, with hundreds of others. Herr von L 's mother, widow of a privy councillor, who made licr son a yearly allowance, besides keeping a family of several unmar ried daughters out of a pension of forty-five hundred marks, came to me, requesting an audience of Her Majesty. When, according to in structions, I inquired after the nature of her business, she confess ed, to my utter consternation, that she intended to petition the Empress to use her influence toward keeping the Kaiser away front the military casinos. Of course, to let Madame von L come near Auguste Victoria was entirely out of the question un der the cireumstances: but while, as a lady of the Court, I did my best to dissuade her from her purpose, as a woman, I could not close my ears to that poor mother's argu ments. "My son's pay." she said, "amount ed. as you probably know, to one hundred and seventy-five marks ($.13.r>0) per month, of which all hut forty marks ($10) were de ducted for wardrobe account, repre sentation and benefit funds, board and lodging, etc. Out of these forty marks and half as much again— my own modest contribution—-Wal ter liad to pay for Ills suppers, his tobacco, his car-fare, his amuse ments and incidentals, and. though it was hard work, he managed to keep within his income until His Majesty began to invite himself to the casino. j "After the Kaiser's first visit," the I worried mother told me, "my hoy I had to contribute fifteen marks to ] ward the cost of the entertainment, and, to reimburse himself, borrowed u double gold crown from a com rade. In the course of the next month, llis Majesty repeated his costly visit, and my boy was bled a second time. Then, after imynig his comrade, lie retained just live marks out of liis pay. while a month of hunger and humiliation was staring i liiin in the face! Soon afterward, I Walter found himself struggling in the clutches of the usurer, and with in six months (they have not much patience with us penniless bureau crats) his disgrace was gazetted. "And believe me," added the broken-hearted mother, "my son's case is not an exceptional one; other promising young lives have been wrecked in the same way, and the ! ruin of hundreds of oliicers who j judge the commanding chief by his i deeds rather than by his words is ! threatening. "For their sake, for the sake of j their mothers and sisters," concluded | Madame von L , earnestly, "1 am seeking audience with the Empress. | I want to throw myself at Her | Majesty's feet, picturing to her the j |ierlls to which our sons arc exposed by coining into personal contact with the Kaiser. 1 will say to her: 'llis Majesty is certainly actuated by the highest motives, but the splendor of his presence, the gorgeousness of the entertainments provided for him, are apt to befool ambitious young men by deceiving them as to their own insignificance, and by lightening their sense of the respon sibilities they owe to themselves, their family, and their country.'" In this connection, an observation by General von Kcssei, then com mander of the First Guards, de servos mention. "If His Majesty wants to see his officers well dressed, he should stop eating them out of pocket-money at their casinos. They cannot afford to play the host anil pay their tailors at the same time," said the dashing adjutant. Her von Kessel referred to His Majesty's criticism of the dress of certain officers of the Hreslau Cuirassiers, a body of troopers from whom William demanded hospitality on all occasions. When 1/ondoii Rejoiced In foggy London even the gloom iest days of the war lost some of their sombre hue with people "in the-know'" when it was telegraphed from the front that the Kaiser in tended to lie a real war lord and take command of an ensuing battle. "Good for our boys," "the most decent thing bo ever contemplated," said those English who remembered the stories of the mimic battle man euvers. which William loved to prepare in times of peace, and which General von llaeseler characterized as magnificent, each ending like that between tlie fabulous lions whose tails alone remained on the field. Hut as to the burial of the dead (sup posing the Kaiser's theories were fol lowed), 1 cannot for the life of i me, conceive who would attend to it. Lot us assume, for argument's sake, that the nations of the Triple Alliance march into the field under the chief war-lord's guidance, Germans and Austrians side by side, Italians covering the rear. •Then let two or three battles be fought, such as we experienced in Bavaria: vast masses of foot launched on top of each other, tambour battant, horse and artillery swallowing hailstorms of bullets with gusto, as if they were soup! Why, unless our Peninsular friends turned gravediggors, one and all, pestilence would drive them back. in bis book, "The Riot Upon the Brain," William W. Ireland, M. D„ Edinburgh, says: "The power drunk are easily beaten in the field by generals who prefer what is es sential to what is superflous." As to the "superfluous," when returning from a review, the war lord seldom spoke of the success or non-success of the exercises: that he caught Lieutenant von X. Y, wearing an overcoat an inch shorter than the regulations stipulate, or a sub-officer attired in pantaloons of his own. instead of those fur nished by the regiment, was of far greater importance in the Kaiser's eyes. For liis eyes reflected the mere outer film of tilings correctly enough, but did not penetrate below the sur faef because the mind directing tliem worked tin) rapidly lo weigh the relative importance of tilings. Once, at that greatest of military spectacles, the annual spring par ade on the Tempelhofer Feld, which in all sorts of weather attracts Rer liners by the hundred thousand, be sides tens of thousands of visitors, (To Be Continued To-morrow) Ex-Prince Joachim to Visit America After Peace Is Signed. i By Associated Press, Geneva.
