Despite current belief, the Emperor is not a

are not of particularly good breed and not unus-

Ionoon to Be Defenceless

I south. Further west are the Bewley Hill and
Henley Grove forts; the former occupies a very
strong position which was built for heavy ar
tillery, and it is stated that at least thirty big
guns could be mounted for defense in case OF
emergency. The Henley Grove fort is built more
for the accommodation of infantry, and could
hold somewhere about three thousand men, who
could all fire at once from behind the shelter of
the walls. 1t will be readily what won
derfu line of defense they afforded against an
invading army.
Mr.. Brodie, NJ. p, who questioned Mr.. Haldane
Ia the House of Commons as to the cost OF these
forts, which were formerly intended to defend
London on the south, received reply in a
parliamentary paper stating that the cost on
land and works OF the forts, which form a half
circle round London, was about $4,000.
Mr.. Brodie, expressing his views on the sub
ject to a representative of this paper, said:
"The government has decided as you know,
that the defenses OF London are no use, in fact,
their maintenance is quite an unnecessary ex-
pense, as we now rely mostly on the navy. My
wish is that the forts and land should be re-
tanned, and not sold, as suggested, for the value
OF the land at the present time, is very little
and besides military plans and organization are
always changing and in years to come these torts
| might be required"

ed that they should also be demolished This
order also extends to the Notifications which
were especially erected to guard the Thames.
1t is further suggested that the land on which
these forts are built should be sold. Part of this
startling and drastic measure has already been
carried out, but much reticence over the matter
has been observed by officials.
These different lines of defense were erected
to guard London against invasion from all quar-
ters.
The line of forts along the Surrey hills have
not been built many years, and guard all the
southern approaches to the metropolis, The fort
on the top OF Boxhill is many hundred feet above
sea-level and could e6ectuay block the railway
line from Brighton to London.
This fort stands in such commanding posi-
tion that with powerful guns it could sweep the
country for miles around.
The other forts form the line of defense along
the Surrey hills, and occupy points OF great ad-
vantage.
These defenses would have afforded serious
check to an army marching on London from the

The Kasers own court is an extremely ex

The Emperor travels in the same splendor at
which he maintains his court Wherever he goes
he is accompanied by a large suite of officers and
gentlemen and of household and court officials
He takes with him his own carriages, his own
horses, his own coachman and grooms, his own
stablemen his saddlers his smiths and so forth
As he journeys his entire study is transported
from place to place.
HIS HEAVY EXPENSES
During his Mediterranean trip of two years ago
the Kaiser gave away eighty diamond rings, thir-
ty-three necklaces, thirty golden watches, a hun
dred golden cigarette cases and twenty other
tcles of jewery to various persons from whom
he received attentions in the course of the trip.
The whole Mediterranean journey is estimated to
have cost over sixty thousand pounds The cost
of his journey to Palestine seven years ago ex-
ceeded one hundred thousand pounds.
Apart from his expenditures for purposes of
royal display. the Kaiser devotes large sum
every year to the encouragement of art and of
the drama. He is continually ordering monu
ments to be erected at his own expense and buys
pictures for presentation to public galleries He
maintains the Royal Opera House, the Royal
Theatre in Berlin and the Royal Theatre at Wies
baden at his own expense, All three theatres are
conducted only partially as proft-making con-
Germs.
Therefore it is no wonder that the fierce lit
tie monarch Of the fierce mustaches, who swings
a big stick over Europe with even greater po
tency than his American competitor, finds it hard
to make both ends meet on his income, and has
been obliged the present year nears its close TO
borrow money from of hs wealthy subjects
The Kaiser has never borrowed money from Prus-
sian noblemen, but only from great commercial
magnates and millionaire manufacturers.

these monarchs receive additional allowances for
certain definite purposes, and both of them own
vast landed estates far superior in acreage to the
German Emperor's possessions.
The Sultan of Turkey receives an annual allow.

HARTMAN A CRITIC OF NAVY.
Insists That American Ships Should
Be Used for Carrying Coal.

New York, July 12.-Edward H.
Hartman, in an interview published
Thursday had something more to say
about the proposal to carry coal from
this seaboard to San Francisco in for
eign bottoms, which was advanced in
his behalf by J. w. Jungen, the rep
resentative at the inspection of the
Morgan liner Creole on Tuesday.
Il had no idea that the statement
would be spread SO far and wide as
it has," said Mr.. Hartman. How
ever, my point is this: Why should
l not send coal around Cape Horn in
foreign ships when the government
intends to do the same thing? Con-
slider the matter fairly. Here's the
United States government with
steamship line thoroughly American
meaning my available for coal
carrying, but instead of patronizing
this American line the government
goes ahead in opposition and engages
foreign bottoms.
Isn't that peculiar situation?
Why should | not make a test case
of the matter? l think that perhaps

white damp in an abandoned slope of

Two of the men were sent into

Then two more went in to assist

was inadequate, and the others were
ordered to help them. When the
men did not return after reasonable

ROOSEVELT MAKES HIS HAY FLY.
President Forks Loads as Easily as a
Scot Would Pitch Quoits.

New York, July IL. - President
Roosevelt Wednesday gathered his
hay crop on his Sycamore Hill farm.
Edward Maloney of East Norwich, l..
l., who worked at the task, told the
story Wednesday night in the vii
lage store in his home town. He
said: ta WEsN
About two o'clock the president
came out to the field. He was dress.
ed in a white suit and a white negli-
gee shirt and tie to match and with
a hearty greeting and handshake all
around began to pitch with three 9TH
ers, with one loading. Before the first
load was done you wouldn't have
given 80 cents for the white shirt.
and, talk about sweat drops like peas!
The president had them as big as
black walnuts dropping OF his face,
and he didn't stop to wipe them off
either, but kept right on pitching up
forkfuls so big that he had to get
under them and shove them up to
me.
Talk about hay pitchers, he's a
wonder. After we got two wagons
loaded I drove to the barn, with
Teddy in the lead, fork on shoulder,
and when we reached the new hay
barn the president climbed on my
load, and 50 up In the NOW,
where he took the hay from the fork
and moved it away with more big
drops falling from him in streams"
