There would be no lack of volun- teers if war should break out, but in time of peace citizens generally devote themselves to making a living for themselves and families, and if the government. wants the time of some of then. to train them into soldiers it will have to present businesslike proposition.

It is said that the emperor never decides upon any foreign policy without consulting von TreutIer, and it has often been runored that the emperor proposed to make the baron his imperial chancellor. As official representative of the foreign office, Baron won Treutler has always ac- eonpanied the Kaiser on his journeys abroad When the Kaiser made his memorable trip to Tangier ten years ago von TreutIer was constantly at his elbow, and, it is said, stage-man- aged the affair. Von Treutler has aI- so made several trips to England with the War Lord.
