"what will the German emperor do

so many startling things already, and
takes such an evident delight i'm making
mems tongues wag, hat nobody would be
much surprised IL he were to propose a
congress for universal disarmament.
Men have already become convinced that
he is sincerely religious, and hat he has
no ambition for bloodshed. A little time
ago, wishing TO realize the sensations of n
soldier on guard. he put himself on duty
for "A hours i'm an extemporized guard
room within his own garden nj Potsdam.
and stood sentry during four spells OF two
hours each during that time. He wore
the uniform of a private soldier, carried q
rife. and ate OF the soldiers fare.
But. unlike Peter the Great, who did
these things often enough in real earnest
mixing with the soldiers and lying down
beside them-William ii. took his little
diversion all alone. No officer came to
relieve him. and, i'm fact, only or two
persons Of his encourage were aware OF
what he was doing until he had done il.
When the whole thing was over he was
asked bow he had enjoyed standing sem
try nj night. and he answered: II was
thinking all the time how many millions
Of poor wretches have gone through the
drudgery OF military life while loathing
il. and have got killed i'm wars for the
causes of which they did not care a but
