Some people found it hard to realize why the Kaiser's ambassa
dors blundered all through the Great War; why they couldn't realize
American honesty and integrity; why they failed to see that their
submarine warfare aroused the enmity of civilized peoples; why
they themselves proved the worst diplomats that history lias ever
known—the Baroness von larisch explains it all by hciping us to
realize still more what kind or King William was and what kind of
man he Is: tactless, unreliable, erratic, inconsistent and unstatcs
manlike. It was neither "diplomatic" nor "statesmanlike" for Wil
liam to court a thrashing from a petty officer, was it?
But, 10l even a Majesty of the Right Divine lias relatives! The
Kaiser's mother-ln-luw found out William on the double quick ami
so did some of his cousins, sisters and aunts. Tlie Mother-in-law was
the one to mete out worst puiiislimrnt, as related hi these papers.
[Continued from Yesterday.]
It has been my privileges to meet
practically all the Diplomats of my
time. Spending my life at European
Courts, I have been thrown into
ftOUUSBTTRG TELEGRAPH
relations with statesmen from all
parts of the world. And after this
long intimacy with Kings and
Queens, with Princes and Ambassa
dors, I do not hestitate to say that
William seemed to have the least
kingly mind of them all. I wit
nessed his judgment of men and
events while I lived in his house and
listened to his opinions on world
affairs. I wondered at his admira
tion for the Sultan of Turkey: I
saw his difficulties with the Czar
of Russia; his dissentions with the
Emperor of Austria; and all those
erratic outbreaks which kept his
Chancellor busy explaining. But
even his Chancellor did not know
cnongli to study the psychology of
the greatest force on earth: Amer
ica.
Kaiser Aping Frederick
Before tho war, I presume, from
time to time you have seen para
graphs in the papers setting forth
the Kaiser's aspirations to emulate
Frederick the Great. Though ana
chronistic, there is nothing discredit
able in such an ambition; yet
members of the household, who like
myself, saw William grimacing for
lialfhours at a time before a mirror
hanging by the side of a life-size
portrait of Frederick, could not help
feeling apprehensive that behind
this there was more than vainglorl
ousness.
As a matter of fact, the monarch
of the end of the eighteenth century
and his successor of the beginning of
the—twentieth have as little in com
mon, outwardly and inwardly, as
the second Budwig of Bavaria and
the fourteenth Bouis of France had.
That William, ocular disproof not
withstanding, insisted upon imagin
ing himself Frederick's counterpart,
was hut a phase of his monomania
of grandeur equivalent to the hallu
cinations of which his late mad
cousin was possessed.
That a General can do everything
was one of the Kaiser's pet phrases
—because they, "receive their in
structions from me."
The court which is to adjudicate
the Kaiser's crimes should make a
note of this, for he has already com
menced the coward's game of shift
ing responsibility, of blaming his
tools and henchmen for executing
orders emanating from himself, and
which no one dared to dispute.
Berlin Gutters to Run With Blood
For Weeks
"William said he liked the Sultan
as the embodiment of absolutism, as
a ruler prepared to rule at the haz
ard of seeing one-half of Ids people
dead on the ground, that the other
half may learn to obey." If, "he
continued, my graiul-unclc, Freder
ick William IV had possessed but a
spark of the spirit that lives In the
so-called sick man, I should be
monarch in the true sense of the
word today, though Berlin gutters
might have run with blood for weeks
in succession during March, '4B'."
Yet William did not attempt to
improve on Frederick William.
When in November, Berlin "saw
red," he tamely sneaked off to Hol
land and hired an extra typist to
take down his "defence."
No doubt he meant what he said
at Frankfort, namely that he would
"rather see his forty-two millions of
Prussians dead on the battlefield
than give up one foot of ground
gained by the Franco-German war,"
—what are human lives to him?—
but as the forty-two millions and
some twenty-eight millions more de
cided differently, he found it con
venient to step from the heights of
the sublime to the depths of the
ridiculous.
Mnnlered Christians Don't Count
His hands red with the blood of
forty thousand murdered Christians,
the Sultan received a colored photo
graph representing the imperial
family In a loving group,—Kaiser
and Kaisertn apd all the children.
"My master," our Ambassador,
was ordered to say In his presenta
tion speech, "hopes that this sim
ple souvenir may be acceptable to
Your Majesty as a token of the
Kaiser's affection and eternal friend
ship," massacres or no massacres.
Twice the German envoy had tele
graphed Prince Hohenlohe for fur
ther advices on this piece of dip
lomatic business; his first telegram
seemed to Indicate that he looked
upon the picture as a belated valen
tine gift, or something of the sort.
On being reassured of its up-to
dateness, ho wired he would rather
[resign than carry out so degrading
ou net after what had liappcned
hi Constantinople | but Hohenlohe,
afraid of the scandal aura to ensue,
persuaded Baron Baurma to with
draw his threat, and so the presenta
tion took place with due ceremony
to both Majesties' profoundeat sat
isfaction.
Subsequently there was talk that
the Kaiser was well paid for his
pood ofllces to tho Buitan. Five
million francs were said to have
come from the Tschoragan Serai, to
the Schloss, and our courtmarshnls,
hoping to profit by this sudden
windfall, woro in a happy mood In
consoqucnoo; but their prevailing
penury was not relloved, and tho
customary offering of tho Padishah
arrived as In former years, only
moro promptly. Abdul sent Wllllnm
long-maned ponlos from Barbary,
and our lord ropald his autocratic
colleague with some of the choice
product of Trakohnen stud.
Women Don't Understand about
Mordering Subjects
"Women do not understand about
tlieso thtngss," was the Emperor's
rejoinder when Her Majesty object
ed to having her likeness and that of
the children sent to the "wholesale
murderer of Christians." "What do
women know about being consequen
tial? These Armenians were rebels,
and my friend, the Sultan, treated
them as I would treat a mob oppos
ing my authority, any day."
"But," pleaded Her Majesty, "Mar
schall tells me it was primarily a
religious riot, the Mussulmans fall
ing on the Giaurs and killing them
off like so many sheep."
The Kaiser shrugged his shoulders.
"I am shepherd of the Lutheran
Christians in Prussia," he said, "those
in foreign lands must take care of
themselves."
And later he sent Frince Heinrich
on "the new crusade, to uphold the
Cross and punish the slayers of
Christians in China."
But, then, William had never dined
with the Son of Heaven, and that
worthy's Viceroy, Li Hung Chang,
when he visited Germany, utterly
failed to live up to William's expecta
tions.
Kaiser's T/oose Tongue
The craze to "show oil" is egoism
on its hind logs,—a very different
brrfnd from the harmless nmusement
William found in pronouncing toasts
to his grandmother in the words: "I
drink to the health of the Queen of
Great Britain and Ireland, Empress
of India, Chief of my First Guard
| Dragoons," or even from the speech
the Kaiser made in deposing Count
Waldersee as Chief of the General
Staff, when he insinuated that, by
burying him in the province "where
Her Majesty, the Empress, first, saw
the light," royal honors (instead of a
slight) were conferred.
Some of our courtiers excused all
the Kaiser did on the plea of impul
siveness, a condition which they take
to be an attribute of genius. Wheth
er his egotistical brutality broke
up a banquet, as it did when he drove
to the Casino of the Guard Dra
goons merely to say that as Counts
Herbert and Wilhclm Bismarck
were in attendance, ho, the Kai
ser, preferred to eat at home, or
whether ho spoiled a family reunion
by revising the guests' list,—whether
he imperiled future politics by ac
cusing a Crown Princo to his father
or by making ill-natured remarks
about another heir's bride-elect, —
these complaisant clawbacks said the
sovereign must neither be blamed
nor criticized.
But woo to others assuming like
privileges! There was Nicholas,
C'zar-to-bo of all the Russias, but
merely a gay young gentleman when
a visitor at our Court.
Insulted by the Czar
No wonder a week of state ban
quets and parades, and parades and
state banquets, made him long for
less formal amusements.
On the evening when the Kaiser
and Kaiserin and the rest of the
nation's great were expecting His
Imperial Highness at the palace of
the Russian Ambassador, he sent his
regrets, adding that he was enjoying
himself so hugely, it would be a
shame to break up his party.
Ivniser Slighted. He Couldn't Believe
It Possible!
As we sat down without the guest
of honor, William's face was a study:
wrath, tempered by surprise, was
pictured in every line of it. He
showed his annoyance, yet seemed to
be incredulous of the slight offered.
As Her Majesty expressed it, he
thought for a time it was all a joke;
that any one in his sober senses
should dare to affront him, he re
fused to believe.
However, even before Roman
Pupch was served, everybody in the
To Absorb Freckles
And Other Blemishes
Every spring numerous inquiries
are made by girls seeking some re
liable recipe for removing freckles.
Very favorable reports have been
received from many who have used
mercolized wax during the freckling
season. The wax seems to possess
unusual properties which completely
absorb the freckles, with no harm
ful effect whatever. The complex
ion Improves wonderfully, becoming
as saft as a rose petal, and as deli
cately tinted. Get an ounce of or
dinary mercolized wax. at any drug
gist's, spread a thin layer of it over
the entire face every night for a
while, washing this off In the morn
ing. For rough, spotty skin, sallow

cutaneous blemishes, this treatment
is superior to any other.
HIS LIFE'S OUTLOOK
HAS BRIGHTER HUE
Arthur Miller, of Drexel Hill, a
suburb of Philadelphia, says he Is
a real optimist now, and that his
outlook on life is brighter than
ever. "I suffered from stomach
trouble. The gas would accumulate
around my liver and heart. Occa
sionally I would have sharp twinges
of rheumatism In the joints and
muscles of my legs and shoulders.
There was considerable belching of
gas and a water-brash. A sour,
acid stomach manifested Itself in an
ugly, dark-brown taste, like bile. I
bought Tanlao because I heard about
tho good It did others. Tanlao help
ed me from the start."

festive chambers knew that the
Czarovltch was at Duke Gunther'e
brother of the Kaleorln In the Palais
Pourtales, whither he had gone at
one o'clock, and where a motley ar
ray of rakee, marquises, and danc
lng-glrls used to convene.
They had a great time, those two
royal bachelors and their friends,
and when. Anally, His Tmperial High
ness'e adjutant reminded him that It
was necessary to prepare for supper
nt the Embassy Nicholas avowed
that ho preforrod an hour with his
Mlgnon to an eternity with all the
German Emperors and Empresses
that ever lived.
At the concert, I heard Count
Schouvalow whisper to his wife:
"The Kaiser Insists upon reporting
this business to the Csar, with all do
tails, the Empress Frederick's protest
and my own notwithstanding. As for
Duke Gunther, he told Her Majesty
that he will kick him out of the
army."
The Duke of Schleswlg, according
ly. got his walking-papers and Czar
Alexander a furious letter, complain
ing of his son's disregard for the de
cencies of life and denouncing his
proclivities for vice. But twenty
one months later they carried Alex
ander to the Peter-Paul Cathedral
a dead man, and Nicholas, the slur
red and despised, mounted the throne
of the Northern Empire.
As a flash of genius, too, those
amiable pick-thanks praised the
Kaiser's feat at Darmstadt, when
standing on the castle balcony with
the Czar, he suddenly placed his arm
about Nicholas's shoulders, thereby
giving the imperial camera man, on
watch, a chance for a sensa
tional snapshot. The Kaiser prompt
ly turned the negative over to a Ber
lin speculator, and soon the show
windows offered occular proof "that
the relations between Berlin and
St. Petersburg were of the most cor
dial character."
But when the pictures reached
Muscovite dealers, ten davs later, a
decree of confiscation went forth; the
photographs were prohounced apo
cryphal, and the Russian official tele
graph and news companies received
orders to "feature this piece of in
telligence and give wide publicity to
the fact that a fraud had been prac
ticed upon the public."
A great storm was raised when the
Czar and Czaritza, then staying in
Darmstadt, refused to see the Grand
Duke and Duchess of Badeu on the
pica that their time was all taken up.
"Nicholas must make time for the
daughter of the venerable William
I." cried our papers. Whereat their
Russian Majesties were exceedingly
amused.
"That the Czar must do a thing,
despite his disinclination," said Nich
olas, "is an argument worthy of the
'nation of thinkers.* However, I val-
