been triumphantiy indicated, he refers
TO him as his "old friend" showers him
with honors and has had himself photo
qraphed with the general.
In doing this he is, of course, showing
GREAT discretion, for if he ever ventured
to interfere with general of Hinden-
burg's present standing-well, the gen.
eral would not be the one to be rebuffed
The personal vanity Of both the Kali.
ser and his eldest son knows no limits.
The Grown Prince spends long hours de-
sioning uniforms that will make him
seem more erect and that will tend to
hide his weak chin. BY the way, how
many profile photographs of the Crown
Prince have you seen? Not one, | will
,,ortrre m saw. He will not allow
nicture to be made of him unless it
shows him full face. He is not proud
of that chin.
The Kaiser owns several full dress
uniforms of every German regiment and
numerous foreign ones, and delights III
designing new styles Of military regalia.
Many of the hours that he is supposed TO
devote to affairs Of state are spent in
devising changes in the folds or cut OF
"the Kings coat" with a tailor in at
tendance to carry out his orders.
Every time the father or son makes a
change in the existing uniform Of regi.
ment the luckless officers of that regi.
ment have to drain their already depict
ed purses in order to follow the royal
whim. The Crown Prince once designed
some cuff buttons of enormous size.
These he actually patented and sod to
his officers-and the price was not low.
It is notorious, of course, that the kai-
ser considers himself no less competent
as an art critic, musician and author
than as a general. The Sieges Alice, in
Berlin, probably the most famous eXhi-
bition of bad taste in the world, is lined
from end to end with horrible statuary
that was erected by the Kaiser's own
orders. Inferior artists easily gain his
favor by heaping him with the baldest
fattery. His vanity accepts all tributes
as merely his due. He has himself ph)-
tographed several times week, and the
walls of his rooms are lined with his Own
portraits.
Once, when he was leading dashing
cavalry attack, he stopped the charge
halfway because he had learned that the
moving picture photographers had run
out of films. That was only sham ba.-
tie, however. In this war he leads no
cavalry attacks. His generals would not
let him.

This discussion of the real status OF
the German Kaiser and Groom Prince
as army commanders is By the dnony-
nous author of the other articles upon
the Pr1tSsiQn military system that hare
recently appeared in The Tribune Maya
zine. He is German born, the son OF
Prussian major, and himself attended a
German military academy for fue gears.
~ My last Thursday the morning
papers contained an amusing
dispatch from the French
front to the effect that the Kaiser is
expected on the Somme front to-mor-
row to brace up the morale Of the Ger
man troops" / say amusing" for
that is exactly what such dispatch is
to one who knows anything of the real
relations between the Hohenzollerns
and the German army.
If the truth were known, the goings
and comings of the Kaiser, and of the
Grown Prince, too, so far as that is con-
cerned. are a matter of complete indif-
ference to the General Staff, which is di-
recting the campaign. When the Kaiser
dashes back and forth between the East
ern and Western fronts he does so for
his own qualification. The men who are
really in command humor him by pre-
tending TO seek his advice and bow to his
authority. 1t does no harm-so long as
they do not take the advice-and pleases
the Kaiser and the German people, who
consider their Emperor great general.
It is an open secret, however, among
both German officers and privates that
the military genius of the Hohenzollerns
died with Frederick the Great. The Kal-
ser and the Crown Prince are both de-
cidedly below par as tacticians This, OF
course, would be no diScredit to them If
it were not for their absurd pretensions.
AS a commanding officer the Kaiser has
Numbered repeatedly. ! have seen him
order charges at army nanGuvres that
in actual warfare would have meant in
slant and utter humiliation of the
charging troops. Graf Haeseler once adj
dressed his staff after certain maneu-
vres as follows "My officers, you have

didly-only in real war time do the OPP

is. Some unfortunate anonymous gen
