Godfrey of Bouillon, the great crusading
| King of Jerusalem, lives again in him
In undertaking this mission he Is carry
ing out an obligation recognized by sew
eral OF the German Emperors. in the
second place. the Emperor hopes before
| long TO add a great slice of Asia Minor,
including the Holy Land. to his domin-
ions, and TO COLOMBO IT with Germans.
IL is a source of great pain to him that
there is no place TO which his subjects
can emigrate and still remain Germans.
In the United States they become Ameri-
canized with great rapidity. The Ger
man possessions in Africa are unfit for
Europeans who have to do hard physical
work. The greater part of Asia Minor,
on the other hand, has fertile soil, a
mild climate and is eminently fitted for
German colonistS.
After spending five days visiting the
Sultan at Constantinople the Emperor.
accompanied by the Empress and a great
suite, viii embark on the yacht Hohen-
zollern for the Holy Land
The sixty officers and men composing
the crew of the imperial yacht have
been occupied for four months in prac-
ticing the one hymn and two psalms which
the Emperor desires they shall sing on the
voyage.
The .Emperor's suite will be Oriental
in magnificence and numbers 1t will in
clude the Foreign Minister, the Chancel-
Tor of the Order of St. John of Jerusalem,
bishop, military. marine and Oriental
painters, savants. photographers. secre-
taries, soldiers, writers, reporters, cooks
and couriers.
Among the artists accompanying the
imperial pilgrim will be Professor Knack-
fuss who worked up" the Emperor's
famous cartoon of 1.-The Yellow Terror"
and several other of His Majesty's arts
tic efforts. We may confidently expect
some pictures from the Emperor's hand
dealing allegorcally with the history of
the Holy Land and his own share in re-
storing its lost glories. The Oriental
painters, Max RABIES and Ismael Cent?.
and the marine artist, Professor Salzmann
will. also be attached to the, suite.
Accommodations, horses rations, and
so forth will be provided for fifty news
paper correspondents, who will have
everw facility for witnessing public
ceremonies, but will not be permitted 20
enter the enclosure reserved for the per-
sonal suite of the Emperor Only those
Exhibiting specially made bronze medals
will be allowed in the enclosure.
1t is a curiously prosaic detail that the
Cooks Tourist Agency has charge of the
travelling arrangements. 1t has already
requisitioned no fewer than fifteen hun
dred horses and mules for the use of the
Emperor and his suite.
The Emperor IS always effective in his
costumes. He tries to realize the medi-
aeval idea of a monarch He will carry
fifty magnificent costumes on his new
crusade. The one which he favors
chiefly is canarycolored The coat fits
loosely and has facings OF generals in
sigma The trousers are of the same ca
nary colored material. with a broad red
stripe down each leg. High boots match
the rest of the dress in color and the
sword sheath will be Of light brown
leather. The Emperor will wear white
sun helmet, surmounted by a golden
Prussian eagle
The Emperor will have body guard
OF one hundred picked men from the
Prusian army, not one Of which is less
than six feet three inches in height
Among them will be Leonard Ehmke. OF

weighs 296 pounds. and is said TO be the
tallest soldier in the German army. They
will wear uniforms which will be a modi-
feation OF his own.
Fifty servants will wait on the Emper-
or's personal needs. and a ike number
of grooms will take care of his horses.
The Emperor will make some of his
most effective entrances mounted on a
thoroughbred white Arab stallion-the
gift of the Sultan.
The imperial host will spend the
greater part Of its stay in Palestine I'M
der tents. These will not he rough field
tents. but luxurious dwelling places.
The Kaiser's own tent IS divided into
several spxcious rooms. among which are
his bed room. his dressing room and an
decorated dining room The
entrance is draped with heavy curtains
on which the imperial monogram Is en-
broidered in gold. A similar tent has
been provided for the Empress
The Emperor intends. as nearly as pos
s!hle 10 see everything that Is worth SET
ing in the Holy Land. This. ~ course
Is an enormous task The Fmperor's
itinerary for his whole journey has a.
