doubtedly one of the most important
OF German generals. He Is held up
to the soldiers rs an example of the
true Spartan. lie drinks only milk.
A great fund of stories has been
built about Count Won Haeseler. The
most famous of the anecdotes told
about him is that OF the time "when
he fooled the kaiser" as one can hear
German %schoolboys tell.
1t was during the regular kaiser
m%aneuvers In May, some twenty years
ago. The emperor made a bet that he
would capture the count. lie was the
commander in chief of the reds"
while Count Won Haeseler. command
ant of the fortress of Metz. was the
leader of the "blues," defending the
the kaiser's forces.
Suddenly "EXcellenz Gottlieb" was
heard TO mutter between his teeth:
"Donnerwetterl What's the idea of
that foolhardy cavalry reconnaissance?
Those fellows seem to be after me-

count had spoken galloped with half a
column of cavalry after the recon
noitering party. The horse of the last
man stumbled and threw its rider.
The general staff officer had n talk
with him. then dashed back to his
commander.
Count o Haeseler thus learned the
object of the reconnaissance. After n
brief explanation his whole staff rode
forward. forming a semicircle around
the count, directly toward Fort Leip-
zig. Immediately In front of the adj
v~ancing enemy. There Count Won
Haeseler ~unobserved left the staff.
A few minutes later there rolled out OF
the fort a WACO In which were piled
straw and old sacks. 1t passed closely
by the kaiser and stopped n few steps
behind him.
Gentlemen" said the emperor at
this j%uncture, II believe we have now

And the kaiser's suit galloped away.
The count crawled from under the
sacks and climbed u of the wagon, to
the great amusement of the troops
camping around it
What are these troops doing?" he
asked the general in command. by
order Of his majesty put out of action
was the answer.
The count gave a hearty laugh.

sibility, attack the red army from the
rear. No contradiction. please. | am

Count Won Haeseler being of superior
rank, the officer of the opposing army
had only to obey.
A few minutes later the astonished
emperor heard the signal of retreat at
his back. At the same moment the
blue army moved forward. and the
emperor found himself in such a trap
that he had the bugle blow "Das game

When the kaiser heard of the old
generals trick, It is said. be laughed
until tears rolled down his cheeks.
