KAISER KEEPS MOVES
SECRET FROM SCR|BES
Continued from Page One.

at point few miles back from
the fighting line but still within
sound of the guns.
Correspondent on Hand.
The correspondents were on hand
before the appointed time-and had
a chance to see some manoeuvering
that would have done credit to first
line troops in peacetime. On the dot
of nine the companies drew up in
parade formation on a broad level
ground that was formerly a back
yard of an ancient chateau. They
formed three sides of a square, at
one end of which was a military
band, and in the center the officers.
Half an hour after the appointed
time the kaiser arrived in lean,
gray automobile. He sprang from
the car with the vigor of a young
man. He wore the helmet of a gen
eral of infantry, but the tall boots
coming in front high above the knee,
of a cuirrasier. He cast from his
shoulders the long gray cape with a
fur collar in which heels shown in
his favorite pictures, and with a
stride of long steps, lifting each foot
walked toward the end of the for
nation where the band stood. His
standard bearers, who always walk
behind with his flag, had their work
cut out for them as he strobe ahead
At first he paused just moment
greeted the general in commend
bowed and saluted to other officers
and then truned down the line. He
walked as one attempting to go
through dewy pasture and still
keep ones feet reasonably dry, with
great high steps.
Had Chat With Officers.
After making the rounds of three
sides of the square, the emperor
turned AMI strobe to the center to
chat with the various high officers
gathered there, and then began tc
pin orders and medals on the
breasts of the chosen few. 1t was
only at the conclusion of this cere-
mony that correspondents standing
at little distance had chance to
see His Majesty 1T close range, and
get good look at his scanned and
lined, but strong, healthy, vigorous
face.
After the decorating the kaiser
walked to the roadway that leads
by the chateau, then faced about
and prepared to review the troops
Most of them were new troops, prob
ably few had ever marched before
their emperor before, and it was
possible to detect some nervousness
But they paraded in the ose-step
as bravely and as stiffly as ever did
la like set of men on the Tempel-
hofer field
Made an Address.
The commander made the custom
airy address in which he pledged
loyalty to His Majesty and a firm
determination to fight on His voice
rose and fell with emotion, and what
he said obviously affected the en-
peror. The kaiser answered, in a
voice that from distance was hard
to understand, though it was silver
lclear and more highly pitched than
that of his general. The soldiers,
however, could hear it, and their
faces glowed as their emperor
thanked them. The parade ended as
abruptly as it began The emperor
hastily donning his fur collared cape,
sprang into his gray limousine and
was off.
