One OF the most extraord mary and at

tho German army IL Gen. Count Won
Hesoler, who commands In chief the
troops In Alsace- Lorraine, and than
whom no one stands higher In the es.
TEEN and regard Of his Emperor. Yet
there IL no man whom ono would i'm.
agine ut first sight less likely to excite
such sentiments on the part OF mon.
arch like Kaiser Wilhelm. The Gen.
eral has nothing OF the trim, we'll.
grOOmed and natty appearance OF the
German officer about him. There Is
no man that dresses worse; his uni.
forms, hanging about him like old
rags, are greasy and worn, and give
him an aspect OF an antiquated um.
brella. He disdains all the articles Of
the toilet, lives ON the cOarsest kind Of
food and seems to grudge every mo-
ment that he wastes either at the
table or In bed.
He drinks nothing but water, has q
heart that IL utterly insensible to the
charms OF the fair sex and Is all twisted
and warped in figure. This Is owing
to the face that he was dangerously
wounded In tho war OF 1870 at the bat
tie OF Saint Private, whore he lost two
ribs. He has been Obliged to wear
ever since sort OF silver brace, OF
corset. He has no ear for music. and
has been heard to make the remark
that it was only calculated to please
imbeciles-a remark which was natur.
ally at once conveyed to the Emperor
who had just been expressing the ut
most enthusiasm about Wagner. But
the Emperor puts up with everything
from Heseler, whom he regards as the
only man capable OF succeeding Moitke
and who In his maneuvers couple OF
years ago, when his majesty assumed
charge OF one Of the rival armies, haG
the temerity to surround and capture
his sovereign.
At the same time 1t Is not agreeable
to serve under the General as either
officer or soldier. 1t Is q frequen,
sight to see him stop q soldier In the
most crowded thorOughfare OF Met;
and to make him remove his boots ani
stock ings to sec II his feet are as i'm
maculate as demanded by military
regulations.
