We'll. that's Win, ,bo 1So,sor is Koiser
| Wilhelm, the war lord of Europe. Seven
teen crack regiments of the German En-
| pire call him chief and look forward to
| his official visits to them from year TO
| year as a red letter day in the regiments
history.
| The Kaiser has SO residences and In some
he doesn't sleep from one years end to
another. but he never neglccts to drop in
on the boys" Of his own regiments al
! though, to prevent confusion, he leaves to
an official appointed for the purpose the
| task OF singing out the particular uniform
/ he must use on each occasion. II would,
Of course be an neXclusable error for tho
! Kaiser to call on one regiment wearing
| the uniform of another Hence the official

Should the Emperor be leading his SOL
diers at the front and find II necessary to
ride from one regiment to another ii
wouldn't be absolutely necessary for him
to climb out Of one uniform and into an
| other. Tho rules don't require this. and
even If they did. the Kaiser. who made
them, could-and doubtless wouid-change
! them. The kaiser's uniform as COM

throne of Prussia. The commander Of
this regiment is Colonel Won Frledenburg
AT Hanover Is stationed the Kings
uhlan regiment the 1Slst. which is com
manded by Colonies Won F'rankenburg

ularly proud of his membership in this
body Of soldiers.
American visitors to Berlin invariably
speak in glowing terms of the soldlery

complmenting another regiment Of which
the Kaiser is an honorary colonel-the
First Guard Field Artillery founded In
1916, and the finest artillery outfit Of
which the Kaiser can boast. Its COM
mander is Col-Iieut Won Rotsmann

at Giessen in the province Of Hesse and
