KAISER FEARS ASSASSIN.
In Serious Condition of Health,
Says Reports in Paris.

London. oct A.-A Paris correspondent
of the Standard says that rumors from
various sources keep coming in to affirm
that the Kaiser is in a very serious con-
dition of health.
''It also is affirmed" the correspondent
continues. that the imperial relations
with most Of the leading generals Of
the headquarters stan are distinctly
strained. Had the Kaiser's orders been
Obeyed, the retreat from Marne would
have ended in total disaster for the Ger
mans. The Kaiser does not think so,
however, and severely upbraided his lead
ers for not carrying out his views.
"On meeting one OF his best men, who
had been obliged to fall back, the Kaiser
greeted him with:
- You fell back, and yet you are still
alive
The Kaiser's great fear now is said
to be assassination"

IT. HERE is no story that grips the imagination
more than the mere recital of some Incl
dent associated In some way or other with
the Sutan's Harem in Turkey. The Harem is
mysterious mysterious because it has been
jealousy guarded through all the centuries, and
mysterious because few truthful stories ever have
penetrated its silent, forbiddng walls. The Harem
has been haven of happiness and charnel house
of horror. 1t has been everything and all things In
the Oriental mind from paradise to inferno, yet the
Oriental father and mother gladly let their fairest
daughter go from them, never to see or hear from
her again. And that fair daughter is willing to CO.
yes, eager to go. Why? But one man has ever
learned the truth-Dr Dongan, the Sultan's own
doctor, who is now In this country.
n R. DONGIAN is an Armenian and all Arme-
mans are bitterly hated by the Turks. Yet
Dr. Dongian achieved the highest honor in
the gift of the Turkish Empire. He was appointed
by Sultan Abdul Hamd to serve as special physician
to His Majestys own Harem. And most wonderful
of all, DR.. Dongian held this high post for eighteen
years. He overcame all prejudice and jealousy, and
was given access to parts of the palace that never
before were visited by ful-blooded men not of the
Royal Household. He was called upon to treat the
Sultan favorite wives, and as we'll to choose the
Circassan girls who were adopted into the palace
family. He alone knows their secrets and their
habits of life. Hehas written remarkable book en-
titled The Secrets of the Sultan's Harem, which
tells for the first time the real truth about this mys-
ferrous place.
