nearly all other portraits of William and

or. in the case of the emperor frequently.
and sometimes even in the case of the en-
press, in the uniform of some military
ganiza ton.
A loyal German subject who saw these
photographs day or two ago and remarked
the civilian dress of the emperor drew spe-
cial attention to the fact that they were
taken in London.
The emperor never appears in public in
plain citizens clothing at home said the
German, unless he does not wish to be
recognized, and the reason for this ought
to be obvious. There he is the personal EN-
bodment of the German system of govern
ment, and there, under no ordinary crcum-
stances, would it be advisable for him to
step from the high level Of distinction. even
in what you might consider compare
lively uninlportant a matter as dress. For
similar reason he very properly prefers
his military uniform to court dress when he
is to appear in pUoic He is not only the
personal embodiment of the government
and its power. but he is the living PERSONA
ton of the military idea-the idea to which
the German empire, il is, owes its very
existence.
hen lie appears In Public.
You may very naturally ask why he
would more readily appear in civilian dress
abroad than at home. and to this 7 answer
that he wouldn't. save in a so-called Anglo
Saxon country, like England or the United
States, supposing he We're to do such an
unlikely thing as to visit America. There
are the most important reasons why he
should not publicly appear in plain clothes
anywhere in Europe. Every European
country is military country, land of the
soldier. In Russia. France, Austria, Bel
gum. Holland, even in the comparatively
unmilitary Scandinavian countries. the sol
dier's uniform is the ever-preSent index of
the powers that be. and in none OF these
countries could William l. the war lord of
Germany. the most military of all coun-
tries. think of being seen by the masses
without displaying the sartorial insignia of
the military idea. though to this as 10
most general rules. there is an exception.
Hunting dress is perfectly proper for a
public appearance of the emperor in ap-
propriate circumstances, and photographs
Of his highness in that garb are very popu-
lar in Germany.
1T might he explained that the English

without imperial or military dress will I'M
doubtedly be sold in Germany. 1t will be
rather fiattering to the Germans who
though very respectful with regard to the
British navy, think little of the British
army, to reflect that their emperor con-
sidered civilians dress good enough for
public appearance in England, whereas he
probably wouldn't think of such thing
anywhere in continental Europe
As Human Documents.
Considered as human documents, these
portraits Of the heads of official military
and social life in Germany, unreinforced
by the opera bouffe-like tinsel and glitter
Of official dress. are unusually Illuminating
Clad in the simple morning dress of the
English gentleman, the Emperor William
looks more like hard-headed, progressive
banker or high-class business man than
anything else, and the clean-cut lines of
his face, the resolute poise of his head,
show more real dignity than is apparent In
any of his official portraits. The impress
sion produced by the empress portrait is
equally novel. 1t has often been stated
that she is simple German ''hausfrau' at
heart, despite her imperial position. This
trait of her character never shows in the
ordinary portrait, but in this one the "haus-
frau" dressed for public appearance, is
clearly dominant.
To the American eye both emperor and
empress appear far more human and real
in these portraits than In any previously
given to the public.
