KAISER LOVES UNIFORMS.
Requires Small Army of TaiIors to
Take Care Of Clothes.

Among the many peculiar distnc-
tions which might be claimed by the
German Emperor. even among kings. is
the possession OF the largest number
Of uniforms any one being has ever
worn.
In variety and splendor the KI iser's
wardrobe Of ceremony far eclipses that
Of even King George, who holds the
right TO wear more than 100 mill
tary and naval uniforms. In the En-
peror's suite Of rooms lined with cup
boards and stacked with tin cases. are
nearly 200 complete uniforms. A large
proportion of these consist of resmon-
tails Of the German army, but the res;
are made up of British, Italian, span
ish, Greek, Dutch. Swedish Russian
and Turkish trappings. Indeed the
only European army of which the En-
peror is not a colonel is THAI of
France, but the reason for this omis-
sion is not that his imperial majesty
is unable TO appear in republican gold
lace, for he frequently wears the
neat uniform of the Swiss guards and
still retains his Portuguese regimen

has to be kept absolutely up to date in
respect TO the constant changes which
are made TO cut and arrangements Of
details. Ii some foreign war Office de-
cides that a button must be added, or
two must go. these much debated al
terations will be found on a coat should
the Emperor have occasion TO wear it,.
AS may be imagined. the task OF
kecping this immense outfit in spotess
condition and ever ready trim is a
source of constant worry and ceaseless
labor. The invasion of a single moth
into the imperial wardrobe rooms is
as much dreaded by the custodians Of
the Kaiser's uniforms as the discovery
of a bomb in the imperial palace by
his majoSty's bodyguard. a small ar

continually at work. ironing, brushing

Washington, Feb. 2s.--No legislation

to say about the reduction in the cav.
airy force:, .fs.2 s.ts~.,..
AT the present time a reduction OK
the army, especially of the cavalry,
would seem serious mistake. Like
the rest OF the army, a good force of
cavalry is to us an insurance against
war. The proportions OF the different
arms have been fixed as a result OF
much consideration, the cavalry hav-
ing i'm the regular army a larger pro-
portionate strength than i'm any other
armies on account of the peculiar
conditions existing In this country It
seems to me that the present time is
no tlIne TO reduce aTmaments.
Man for man.. our cavalry is equal
or superior To the same number OF in
fantry fighting on foot They use the
same rife. they have the same train
ing, they have four times the mobility
on the march, enabling them to strike
at distant points. and they go into &C.
ton fresh and without fatigue Their
mobility is so great that they can
reach in few hours, points unattan-
able by infantry. attacking the enemy
where weakest. Thus cavalry will be
used in great bodies, great mounted
reserves, ready to throw into action
AT will. Battle fronts are today enor-
mously long--for instance, at Monk
den. eighty miles. Frontal attacks are
seldom successful. Flank attacks are
necessary For such purposes a quick
moving force is necessary. In zeal AMI
desire TO excel our cavalry regiments
are the very best-=the very elite of the
army. The five regiments which were
organized in 1901 are among the best
regiments. It is proposed to wipe out
these splendid organizations-this on
the score of economy.

Garden Cities Of England.

The garden communities Of Letchworth.

have demonstrated that clean. whole

for everybody and at the very low rent
of from s. a month upward. They have
demonstrated. too, that life IL heightened.
the death and infant mortality rate is
reduced and labor is more efficient in
these open-air communities than In the
cities, and that working people gladly
follow their employers to these more
attractive surroundings.
In the building Of garden villages three
things are recognized s fundamental:
first, the purchase of a large area OF
low-priced agricultural land in advance

well as Of streets. open spaces and
building regulations, by the corporation
or the city. and third, the reservation

building of the community creates. The

and house owner. II operates through
private corporation which owns the land.
pledged by it's charter to limit its dfvi-
dends to 5 per cent on the capital actu-
ally invested, and to use the speculative
increase. Of land values for the COM
munity.
These are the physical foundations of
the garden city. To these are added,
where necessary. the adjustment OF
transit to nearby cities SO that rapid
communication will be possible. as well
as the ownership or close working ar
rangement with the water, gas and cleo
tricity supply. These form the plumbing
of the city. They are essential to the
life. comfort and convenience OF the peo-
pie and the promotion Of industry.
The main difference between the ordi-
nary city and the garden city 10 this:
the former is left to the unrestrained
license of spectators. builders and own
ers to a constant conflict of public and
private interests: the latter treats the

rior to those Of any of it's Individual men,
