GERMAN EMPEROR
NOT IMPRESSIVE IN
CIVILIANS CLOTHES
Published Description of
Him by English Writer
Stirs Wrath.

BERLIN, June 1S.-Very seldom does
The Kaiser appear in ordinary citizens
clothes outside OF his narrow family
circle, but chances are that the occa-
sions on which he lays aside military
uniform in the future will be further
more restricted, for he has just read
and felt considerably annoyed at the
description given him In a book b. a
gifted young Englishwoman, entitled
Daphne in Her Own Country
The authoress, whose name Is un-
known to the general public, but quite
well known to the Kaiser, spent some
months at the diminutive court of
German prince and princess, and tells
In these words of the unexpected arrival
of the Kaiser at the little castle:
I'VE knew that the Kaiser was motor
ing in the neighborhood, but had no
idea that he intended to call. when we
were startled one morning by the news
that we might expect him in less than
half an hour. Twenty minutes later
we heard the tones of his automobile
horn, the only one of its kind in the
q gruff 'honk-honk,' and the car entered
the palace yard.
MY eyes sought our illustrous guest
and my disappointment was indescrio-
able. Hitherto, had seen the Kaiser
In the glittering uniform Of the guard
and admired him as the perfect type or
a modern warrior, but today he looked
anything but imposing, dressed in an
ordinary gray suit, tan shoes, and Pan
ANA hat. His mustache was dropping
instead of bristling fiercely upward, and
It was evident that his sallow COM
plexion needed the colors of a gay uni
FORM to be overlooked He was in a
splendid humor. however, and when !
recovered from my first shock I found
him one of the greatest charmers I
ever met"
The Kaiser has been possibly fully
aware that he needs uniform to set
him off and make people who get only
a short glimpse of him forget his pale
and tired look, but It has annoyed him
immensely to see this observation In
public print, and so in the future he will
be seen by profane eyes only. in the
full glory of one Of his many uniforms.
