LONDON, Jan. 9.--Socks, socks, socks! is what the soldier most needs, This is emphasized in almost every letter from the front.
 "May I be forgiven" writes an of- icer, for directing your charitable ef- fort and suggest that we cannot have too many consignments of socks, very large sizes preferred, made of thick wool. As you know the men in wet trenches are often for days together unable to take their boots off; the re- suit is sore feet, and, at times frost bite, which affects them severely dur ing the cold snap ten days ago. The government and private persons at home have been very generous in the matter of warm clothes, but foot-gear is always wearing out"

fought many political battles in Ger

Emperor. He has held Office since
1897 without interruption. On April

anniversary of his entrance into the
German naval service. The Kaiser
