AS emphatically opposed to a second
West Point, Secretary of War Garrison
expressed himself at a hearing before
| the Senate Committee on Military Affairs
yesterday afternoon. In the opinion OF
| the Secretary. the colleges should be
, used in developing corps of reserve
officers. This could be accomplished he
argued. by standa rdizing and enlarging
the military departments of the colleges
The Secretary declared that no other
country attempted to produce officers by
the same system that is used at West
Point. He thought II would be too ex-
/, pensive to build up the necessary corps
of reserve officers by giving all of them
West Point training. AS on previous oc-
casions the Secretary expressed himself
as believing that West Point should be
maintained to set a standard of miltar ~
efficiency and to create a corps of highly
trained officers.
In response to questions the Secretary
expressed his belief that the buildings
at West Point were OF too expensive a
character. They are too large, he
thought, and too much money had been
spent on the plant at West Point. While
the cadets receive a meaEer allowance
and were living a simple life, the sur
roundings were not in harmony with the
spirit and life of the cadets. This is
money had been put into buildings which
should be expended upon the army it.
self he insisted.
After taking under consideration the
bill for increasing the number of mid
shipmen at the Naval Academy yester-
day 1t was decided to ask the Secretary
to appear before the committee on Thurs
day. There seemed to be no opposition
to reporting out the bill promptly, but
several of the members expressed the
belief that the Secretary should give the
committee a comprehensive statement of
the plans of the Navy Department in
increasing the number of midshipmen and
an estimate of its cost.
Chairman Padgetts bill provides for
an allowance of three midshipmen for

By JOHN u. BARRY.
The most interesting world figure just now is
Kaiser Wilhelm, all the more interesting because
he is the most battling There are those who be-
lievc he is second Napoleon. And there are
those who think he is not and say that he only
believes he is second Napoleon At any rate,
anything written about him now from sources OF
information either real or apparent is likely to find
a wide reading
book of this kind, with the somewhat pre-
tentious title, "The Real Kaiser and the more
pretentious subtitle, AN Illuminating Study" !
have been lately enjoying. Though it lights UP
certain aspects of the Kasers character it cannot
be accurately described Illuminating. 1t is cas-
ual and suggestive and entertaining, and occa-
sionally amusing.
For personal reasons the writer prefers to re-
main anonymous. He doubtless speaks the truth
when he intirnates that his is no great name but
he writes cleverly. His sympathes are English to
the last degree and his point of view and his spirit
and his use OF words all suggest possible American
affiliations.
| "Who is the Kaiser?" the writer asks in the
first chapter. He has several answers One is
that the Kaiser is not people often say, the En-
peror of Germany. He is the German Emperor.
Though he once jokingly remarked that he had
drained the last drop Of English blood out OF his
veins. he can't help remaining the of an Eng
lsh princess sister of the gentleman remem-
bered as King Edward the Seventh. 1t is motor
ous that after the death of his father, he and his
mother had painfully strained relations. He ap-
parently took pride in showing to the world that
he did not lean toward the English side of the
house and that he was German clear through. &
Some of us can remember pretty distinctly the
coming to the throne of the young Kaiser, a most
interesting and dramatic occasion. For years aft
erward he the great entertainer Of the world,
the most ridculed of sovereigns. He completely
overturned the popular idea OF the way ruler
ought to behave, greatly to the delight of those
who liked to see power at what they considered a
disadvantage and of those who enjoyed familiar
gossip about the great ones of the earth. He
travelled untiringly, almost furously He wrote
plays and verses and music. He drew architec-
tura plans He managed theaters and directed re-
hearsals He delivered speeches and sermons.
1t seemed absurd that monarch should do
these things at all and impossible that he should
do any of them well.
Meanwhile, William went attending to pub
lie affairs. Gradually it dawned upon the world
that he was something very much greater than a
buffoon. Perhaps the most wonderful proof of his
genius he gave when he overcamc and senced
ridicule the deadliest of foes and the rclent-
less.

On the whole the Kaiser is decidedly many
sided. He has made the most of his astonishing
opportunities. For twenty-five years he distin-
guished himself for his determined keeping of the
peace. And when he made war he had the distino-
ton of starting the greatest war in history. 1t is
plain enough that, whatever he undertakes, he
does large scale. Some modest Yankee
scribe is credited with saying "He is of the stuff
