Special interest attaches to the kais-

after Emperor William, it is he who will
be responsible for Germany's military
policy, should one Of the several war

the significant thing about his appoint
ment is the fresh evidence It conveys
Of Emperor Williams determination to
surround himself with young blood.
Gen. Karl Won Einem- Rothmaler is
the first man in the history OF the Ger
man army to reach the war ministry
portfolio at years Of age. All his pred
ecessors have 5esn veteran soldiers,
and the vast Teutonic army war ma
chine has been run on gray-haired lines.
During the last few years the kaiser has
shown a decided tendency TO rejuvenate

Gen. Won Rothmaler, a well-known in
fantry commander, who died in 1880.
The new war minister's career has been
distinguished by series Of unparal-
leled, rapid promotion from one post
tion to another. He made uncommon
progress in the cadet academies OF both
Bernsberg and Berlin-such notable
progress, in fact, that, though lot quail
fled by age to be an officer when the
war with France broke out in 1870, he

In his first campaign his gallantry
gained him the iron cross, and since
then he has gone steadily up.the ladder
He married at 25-much earlier in life
than German officer generally enters

Gen. Won Einem attracted Emperor
Williams most earnest attention during
last years stormy reichstag session,
when, as the spokesman of the war min
lister. Gen. Won Gossler, he was called
on to defend the government against the
constant and vitriolic attacks by the So

greater bitterness. The government

are received. The latter has TO submit

checks every item most minutely. At
his suggestion bookkeeping by double

At ten O'Clock the king is generally
visited by his lifelong friend, Col Mar

his schoolmate and his comrade in war.
Since the colonel retired from the

been almost constantly with Peter Kara

After this visit the king receives his
ministers and other persons who have
requested an audience. or he reads the
newspapers-nearly all Of those pub

German and French journals.

Before dinner his majesty sometimes
takes another drive around the city. Din
