GERMAN POLICE TOUR.
Berlin Police President Admires the
New York Force.

Count Won Bernsdorf, president OF
the Berlin police, who recently re-
turned to Germany from the United
States, has submitted to Emperor Will
liam written narrative OF his expert
ences and observations in America,
with appreciative notes on the New
York police.
The police president and his five
travelling companions, four young
guardsmen and junior attache of the
diplomat-service happened to be sent
this wise: The emperor was talking
to a group of subalterns at the Casino
of Potsdam early in December and
asked them where they were going for,
their holidays. One was going to
Paris and another intended to visit
Bohemia.
"Why don't you go where you can
learn something?" interrupted the en-
peror. 60 to America. You shall 60
as my guests, and tell me all about 1t
when you come home"
He thereupon selected a party, In
Guiding Count Won Bernsdorf. The
emperor paid NIL expenses. The party.
after reaching New York January Z
last, went through the West Indies
ana aIterWaru spent tnrec weeks III
New York. Count Won Bernsdorf, with
a detective sergeant detailed by Police
Commissioner Greene, studied the po-
lice system of New York.
The thing which most astonished
him was that he was not bothered in
the streets by dissolute women. The
count told newspaper correspondent
that he especially admired the size OF
the New York policemen, their smart
uniforms and their courtesy, and he
referred in his report to the large, well
ordered police stations of New York
and contrasted them with the rooms
occupied by the Berlin police. But"
the count added, using a recent addi-
tion to his vocabulary. "the Americans
have money to throw at the birds"
Since his return Count Won Berns-
dorf has timed the Berlin firemen in
responding to calls. He found that it
takes three or four minutes to start
an engine in Berlin and contrasted
this with New York's thirty seconds to
do the same thing.
