EMPEROR IS A

 X MENTAL WRECK :.

BERLIN, Dec. 10-iWhile the wal seems to have endowed the Kaiser with an almost superhuman energy and endurance, it has completely shattered the nerves of the ageG Emperor Francis Josph, whom no body in Vienna nor anywhere else as far as the general public is con- cerned, has seen for many months
 Though it has often been saiG in Vienna for the benefit of the foreign press that the emperor is at The Hofburg, the gigantic imper- ial palace there, in frequent confer ences with Count Tisza, the Hungar- ian premier, and Her Burian, for eign minister on diplomatic and military questions, the truth is that for almost year he has never left Schoenbruhn, where he lives the life of a hermit in total ignorance of everything that happens in the out side world.
 No word of the war is permitted to pass the gates of the imperial hermitage and so Francis Joseph hears absolutely nothing of the con flagration to which he gave the signal himself when he declared war. against Serbia.
 The old emperor apparently is in good health, but mentally he is an absolute wreck, and it is a ques- tion whether he has any idea what ever of the fact that his empire is struggling for it's existence. Very often it is said he gives way tt violent attacks of weeping, but ac- cording to Princess Windischgraetz the latest member of the Hapsbure family to enter into a mesalliance he is certainly not crying over his own sins.

OFFICER WITH BUT ONE LEG

Walter Brunk is probably the only one legged German officer at the front The captain was severely wounded during the early stages of the war and his left leg had to be amputat- ed above the knee.

His wish was denied, but last May he received an appointment as presi- dent of the military court of the district of Namur
 Since his return to France the captain has proved that he is per fectly capable to serve as an caro- plane pilot With the permission oi the commander of. the aviation corps he undertook number of long and successful flights and one of them carried him into the neighborhood of Paris.
 The captain has also learned tC ride a horse again. With his ont leg he sits as securely in tht saddle as any ordinary horseman and he takes part in many of tht hunts and races that are arranged by the German officers behind th' front.
