EATS UITH HIS Men
Kaiser Depends on @GouIash
Cannons" for Meals.
Intimate Picture Of the Soldier-EnPer-
or in the Fieid--No Special Prep
ara&ions of Amy Kind Are
Made fer Him.

New York.-An intimate picture OF
the kaiser in the field, the soldier
emperor whose sharing of the life OF
the common soldier has united the
humblest and the highest in Germany
in love, affection and veneration, is
given in the following dispatch to the
New York Staats-zeitung.
The kaiser, to whom the "goulasn
cannons," the great travelling kettles
OF hot food, owe their existence, is
very favorably inclined toward this
important new contrivance on the
field. Many tales are told in evidence
of this, of which the following is one:
4 country road in France-soldlers
arrive, carefully carrying dishes. The
dust-covered field grays who are en-
loving their repast suddenly become
attentive. On the road there appear
four riders-officers. One separates
from the group and gallops over to the
'gouiash cannon"
Have you a bit left for u.s."
CAT your service, captain"
Almost Immediately the other three
riders galiop up. The kaiser! IN de-
lighted surprise all shout "Hurran!"
md tie highest commander thanks
them with a smile.
How does it taste?" he asks. DO
not let me disturb yea; l only want
., bite to eat, too; am hungry"
Then he rides over to the "gouiash
canncn," where the captain already
has G. dish Glled for him.
He takes it good naturally and eats
IN the midst OF his soldiers.
excellent, excellent he says now
and then and asks for a second por-
ton. Il am taking away your share,
put will prove my gratitude"
TIE soldiers are enthusiastic and
aroud that the kaiser took his food like
Zach of them from the same "Goulash
2upca" and "diled" in their midst.
:. real soldier kaiser! A rousing hur-
.ah accompanies him when he takes
cave Of his men with vigorous Good
4ay!"
In the evening several geese and
chickens were sent as "indemnifcation
or the noon meal" and were eaten
with great joy for supper.
This little incident is characteristic
Of the attitude and lie Of the kaiser
It the front, for be lets no oDportun-
~ pass to take his food from the
'gouIash cannon" when he is visiting
is troops along the battle line. For
his reason no arrangements are ever
made for the kaisers meals on these
| rips.
I'VE Will meet 'soulash cannon,
re always says when asked as to what
ne wishes to order for his dinner.
This IS also a proof Of the excellence
# the food which the troops receive
rom the field kitchens, for the kaiser
never announces his arrival before
hand. No special preparations are
made for him.
