BERLIN SEES ONLY
LITTLE OF KAISER
German War Lord Lives Up
to His Name, Which Is
Travelling Kaiser"

Especial Cable from the International
News Service)
Berlin, May 29.-The Kaiser this
year seems more determined than
ever to live up to his nickname Der
REESE Kaiser" (the travelling kaiser).
Berlin sees very little of him and is
not to see him much for some time to
come. Loaded down with relics from
excayated Greek temples and deter
mined to add a building of this kind to
the other attractions of our gay and
noisy city, the Kaiser returned from
his vacation at Corfu like a giant re-
freshed, but before we had had time to
realize he was here, he had gone again
to hold reviews at Metz and Strass
burg and TO visit the famous Hohkoen-
igsburg Castle recently rebuilt and re-
furnished in it's original medieval
glory.
Without a moments rest, he went
on to Wiesbaded where he acted as
amateur stage manager of his Royal
opera house. Then he had a week OF
rest and boredom at London and great
ly relieved at having fulfilled tedious
duty to the memory of his grand
mother. Queen Victoria he rushed back
to his own empire where at Cologne he
opened the magnificent new bridge
across the Rhine. After reviewing his
troops here and at Potsdam, cavalry
inspections follow, a couple of days
shooting. and flying visit to Danzig,
D,in fol- q
command, the Kaiser's next engage
ment being the Kiel yachting week
of fourteen days, where, besides rae
ing himself, he will entertain four
battleships of the American North At
lantic Squadron, sent, according to
the German papers as an amends for
Captain Sims unfortunate speech at
the Guildhall in London last year.
Almost the whole of August will be
given to the annual northern cruise
along the Norwegian coasts. when the
Kaiser always takes with him a Sc
lect company of captains of industry,
/ literati. savants, painters and old mill
tary chums. On the whole strenu-
Gus life but not wanting in delights.
The police have discovered an in
stitute for thieves. Nothing was want
| ing in the establishment, where the
professors joined theory with practice.
The rooms were not very comfortable;
the thieves contenting themselves
with cellar. But the director was
highly qualified for his job. He had
been sentenced for thieving several
times. For the lessons he gave he
expected his pupils to pay fixed
sum for board and lodging. In addi-
ton they had to give him part of their
booty obtained as result of his in
struction. When the students finish
ed their course of study, he provided
them with false characters.
When somebody does good thing
in Berlin thousands of limitations
spring up. Herr Max Reinhardt no
sooner caught the public fancy with
his daring and spectacular produc-
ton of Sophocles "Adipus" in a circus,
that imitators began to crop up from
week to week. We have just sur.
yived Herr Ferdinand Bonn's assault
on Shakespeare in a sawdust version
of Richard Ill.," and now We are to
be privileged to pass judgment OF AS
schylus's "Orestos," in the Circus
Busch. Imitation in this case is some
thing more than mere flatters, for the
announcement of the forthcoming per.
Torrance of "Orestes" followed with
in "a hours the statement that Herr
Reinhardt was himself planning to
produce it next October.
The version of Aschylus's drama
will be presented on May 81, and June
