the procession was a most impressive one
As he appeared the soldiers all faced di-
rect and looked toward him. There was a
great cheering from the crowd, and this
continued until his majesty had entered
the mosque
But, general, it was not at this time
that your interview with the sultan took
place.
No replied General Miles, my audi
ence was shortly after this. The sultan
received me in his palace, and / had some
conversation with him apout military and
other matters. The conversation was car
ried on through an interpreter
How did his majesty impress you?"
He seemed to me a man of considerable
ability, said General Miles. He is
shrewd. cunning and adroit man. and he
has one of the most Influential positions
among the rulers of the world. He is, you
know, not only the head of the Moham-
Mohammedans on earth. There are some
thing like one hundred and sixty million
Mohammedans, 1 believe, who look upon
him as their spiritual head. He has been
on the throne for twenty-six years, and 1t
would seem to me that he must be pretty
much of a man to be able to maintain him.

he is by the great powers of Europe, who
are ready to take advantage of any mis-
take he may make
Did you hear anything of his brother,
whom he succeeded, during your stay in
Constantir11le?'
"Only gcs sip," replied General Niles.
The sultan's brother you know, was de-
posed on the ground CT insanity. He was
taken from the throne and imprisoned. He
is now believed to be in one of the palaces
on the Bosphorus, and there is a military
guard of about four thousand soldiers
about this palace. 1t is supposed to con-
tain tie ex-sultan, but the world does not
know whether he is there or not whether
he IS alive or dead, whether he is insane
or sane"
Il have heard it said that the present
sultan IS afraid of his life and that he is
Il nervous wreck on this account Did you
see anything that might confirm this opin-
ion?"
NO. replied General Miles. "As TO his

there is monarch in Europe who mas

er that was not high rate for Uncle Sam

replied:
THAT story was made out Of whole cloth.
1t was lie from beginning to end, but it
has seemed to me too silly to need contra
diction. The truth is, when I was ordered
to go to Europe 1 engaged ordinary
frst-class state room. When I stepped on
beard the ship / found my room occupied.
By some mistake it had been assigned to
a lady. Her baggage was il the room,
and l could not insist upon her leaving 1t.
One Cf the managers of the steamship
company happened to ne On board. and he
very generously gave me another room
which happened to be vacant, without any
additional charge"
Then your state room Gid not cost sIJO?"
No; it did not was the emphatic reply.
did il cost you $500
NO" replied General Miles. eft did not
and nothing like it. The actual rate charged
was that of the ordinary first-clasS pass
age. and no more
How about your trouble with Admiral
Miller, general? 1t is said that you crowd
ed him out of the buckingham Palace

There is not word of truth in that"
replied General Miles Il cant think how
the story originated. but / see that it has
gone the rounds of the press. The ad
rniral and myself were both guests of the

had nothing to do with making the ar
rangements. and our names were placed
over the doors of cur rooms before We
went there The other guests had their
ROOMS assigned in the same way. Over one
room was posted the name of the Crown
Prince of Siam, another bore that of the
Duke of Wurtemburs. a third that of the
Grand Duke of Russia, and so 1t was with
all the guests. The rooms to which was
assigned were a small parlor at the front

ing windows opening out upon a court
Admiral Miller's name was over the door
of his rooms and mine was over my rooms
i never saw the adn7irars rooms, and
don't think he ever saw mine. The story
was a misstatement fro'1 beginning to

The Sultan and His Army
The conversation here drlfted to General
Miles experiences during his tour. He
visited nearly every great army of Europe
and saw more than 100000 soldiers in the
n;aneuvers and in the camps Of the differ
ent countries. He inspected the military
factories and investigated the newest things

Near the palace grounds there / saw a

invaded Russia. According to the Russians
Napoleon came into the country with 6O0.-

him. They destroyed all Of the provisions

Germany Va. France.
The conversation next turned to Ger
many. and General Miles described for me
the discipline of the German army. He
says that Germany Is one great military
camp, and that the soldiers seem to be Of
more importance there than any other
country. He chatted for some time about
the young kaiser, of whom he saw much
during his stay.
He next talked of the French soldiers
and could see that he considers the
French fully the equals of the Germans
and that he evidently believes that a war
Will some time again break out between the
French and the Germans The Germans

French ever since the close of the Franco

Dislike Military Atmosphere.
'. D. HOwells in the New York Tribuna

The people of southern Germany are
charming. and the scenery all through the
country is delightful But must confess
that the summer climate of Germany is ter
rible. I think I could stand the most severe
winter better than / could a German sum-
mer. with it's never-ending rain and dis
agreeableness. Then, again. there is some
thing oppressive in the military atmosphere
of personal restraint which pervades Ger
many, and it was relief for me to get into
freer country, Holland.
Here we remained three weeks I think
all Americans feel at home in Holland. The
people are more like%Americans in all their
ways of doing. Then, of course. when we
reached Paris, the comforts of a republic
were still more pronounced. While the lam
guage is different, there is a freedom and
lack of restraint and naturalness on all
sides that is most satisfying to thorough
going American.
