The Secret d,he ~HohnnBd)emC
AND CROWN PRINCE AS


On entering I found him seated at
his table, his uniform tunic unbut-
toned, his hair slightly rufied, by which
l knew that he had been writing hard.
"Von Heltzendorff," he said, as I
stood beside his table, you were wit
ness of the insults placed upon me this
afternoon. Does anyone except our
selves know what occurred in your
cabin?"
II have not told a soul, your ma
jesty," was my reply.
but the officer who has raised his
hand against the sovereign to whom
he swore allegiance may have done |"
he said. "There is but one way In
which he may atone for his offense
against majesty. Hand this to him."
And he gave me- a letter addressed
in his own hand-addressed with all
Won Lantzsch's titles and distinctions.
1t was sealed with the emperor's we'll
known black wax.
Ten minutes later I handed the cap
tain the emperor's letter.
He tore it open, read it's contents,
and then gave a queer, nervous laugh,
it seemed to me.
"Thanks, Heltzendorff. 1t was my
turn tonight to be on duty with his
majesty, but I did not feel equal to it.
Goodnight"
Early next morning one Of the i'm
perial stewards entered and, awaken
ing me, asked M to go to Captain Won
Lantzsch's cabin.
On entering I found him lying dead
on his berth with blood oozing from a
pistol wound in the temple.
Upon the little shelf Of the folding
washstand was a note addressed to
me.
On opening it I found these words
scrubbed in pencil:
"Dear H~eltzendorff: 1 have taken
my life at the order of his majesty.
Am I not a loyal subject after all?@
Rudolph"
By moor the body of the kaiser's
victim had been landed at Bodo, where
1t now reposes In the little cemetery
beneath those high snow-clad crags
which rise against the gray, turbulent
sea.
Many fantastic reports have been
whispered concerning the incident, but,
being one of the actors in the drama,
l am able here for the first time to
reveal the actual truth.

EDITORIAL NOTE. - william Lee
Queux, who here chronicles for his
Friend, Count Ernst Won He1tzendOrh,
the ~latter's revelations of the inner
life of the imperial German court, has
long been recognized throughout Eu-
rope as the possessor of its fnnermOst
secrets.
The English "Who's Who" says of
him; "He has intimate knowledge of
the secret service of Continental cOun-
tries and is considered by the govern
ment (of Great Brittany an authority on
such matters" Another authority saysi
flew people have been more closely as
sociated with or know more of the
~toundin inner machinery of Ger
many than he"
LeQueux probably has more sources
Of secret information at his command
than any contemporary in civil life, and
for the last six years the British Gov
nme has made valuable use of his
vast store of secret Information through
q specially organized department with
which LeQueux works as a voluntary
Assistant
Count Won Heltzendorff became an In
Innate of LeQueux several years prior
90 the outbreak of the war; he has been
living In retirement in France since
August, 1914, and 1t was there that Lee
Queux received from the crown princes
late personal %adjutant permission to
make public these revelations of the
inner life of the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
the democracies of the world might
rome to know the real, but heretofore
hidden, personalities of the two domf-
pant members of the autOcracy 1t Is
now arrayed against.

self up, clicked his heels together and
saluted without a word.
The kaiser, his face white as paper,
turned and left the cabin.
I stood aghast.

though he be emperor! |" and he strobe
out, leaving me speeches. with sur
prise.
A few minutes later I assembled to
the deck in order to refresh my mud
died senses. 1 was walking up the
deck when suddenly l saw before me
several of the personal suite, who sa-
luted as the kaiser, naughty and erect,
passed with quick, angry step.
AS he approached l saw a figure
emerge and stand in his path. 1t was
that of Won Lantzsch.
The kaiser lifted his hand, and, with
some imperious words, struck the man
who stood in his path.
In a second Won Lantzsch, in a fury
Of passion, raised his fist, planting a
direct blow at the emperor's jaw and
sending him spinning against some
deck chairs.
Wild shouts arose from the officers
who had been chatting near, two of
whom rushed towards the emperor,
but the latter had instantly recovered
himself, and with a grim smile con-
tinued his walk and went below.
Naturally, we all expected the hus-
sar captain to be put under arrest,
But he was not. He entered my cabin

the only man who had dared to give
back blow for blow to the emperor.
A Midnight Command.
Among the encourage there was, of
course, much gossiping. The cause
of the fracas was to them a complete
mystery. What had occurred previ-
ously in my cabin was unknown to
them, and as asloyal servant of his
majesty at that time it was not my
place to reveal anything whatsoever
of a private nature. Therefore the
amount of whispering that went ON on
board that evening may be readily
imagined.
Just before midnight, as / was about
to turn in, l received a command to
go to the emperor's cabin wherein he
worked.

or four men can carry as they run.
Its aim is most accurate 1t can, when
necessary, fire from 500 to 600 car
tridges per minute, sowing death on
every side with incredible speed. But
against a treach it is powerless, and
therefore 1t is pre-eminently the arm
of defense. When properly handled,
1t is so redoubtable that one alone has
been known to stop an entire regi-
ment. 1t is indisputably the most ter
rible instrument of war.
Yet a well-directed battery of "75''
cannon, sweeping a space of ground, is
more certain to leave nothing alive.
These, then, are the %primordial
means of defense, to which naturally
of the defenders of the trenches, those
trenches in which are invisible loop
holes where the enemy awaits our ap.
pearance.
Heavy Shells for Offense.
What are the adversary's means of
annihilating these hidden, powerful de-
lenses? Only heavy artillery; the large
shell, the huge torpedo, the heavy pro-
jectile of steel, inclosing a violent ex-
plosive, is capable of demOlishing a
netting, of demoralizing those occu-
pants of the trench whom it does not
kill and keeping the adversary's nerves
on edge by the menace of it's sudden
arrival several kilometers behind the
lines. Thus the means of offensive are
the heavy cannon, the large trench
mortars, the large caliber howitzers.
the formidable marine gun mounted on
rails, all that is longest, most difficult
and costly to manufacture, to trans
port, to set In motion. A machine gun
can be installed anywhere in two min
utes or less. A month Is required to
install the 1920" trench mortar. To
put a naval gun on rails in running
order necessitates months of work and
the installation of a railway. Even
guns that are easy to handle, such as
the 1885," are moved with difficulty;
at times it takes two OIL three days to
place them in a battery.
And this is not all. The heavy ar
tillery is naturally less accurate than
the field artillery. When n consid-
ers that heavy guns Don wear out, az
the big gun can fire only a more or less
limited number of shots, as it's caliber
Increases, n as it must constantly
be replaced, one understands why 1t is
30 much easier to take the defensive'
than the offensive, and why the situa-
lion on the western front, at all points
well defended, was stationary for so
long a time before the means of at
tack were sufficient to permit of an
offensive.

BY A FRENCH SOLDIER.
In the Chicago Daily News.)

Paris.-Months of furious assault on
the French lines at Verdun, which
have brought into play the most pow
erful known means of attack, have
barely succeeded in bending the adj
versary's lines. There is, it is true, a
diminution of forces IN both sides, and
n may look forward to the day when
the accumulation of material and the
superiority In numbers of men on the
side of the allies will enable the latter
to break more rapidly the adversary's
tenacious resistance.
But why is 1t, N asks, that despite
the accumulation of heavy cannon it
costs so much in men and money and
time to break the enemy's resistance?
1t is because this war is being fought
in q period of development of the art
of war, in which the means of defense
are vastly superior to the means of
offense in the facility with which they
featured at low cost, and above all in
their efficacy, arising both from the
difficulty which the adversary finds In
demolishing them, and from the abso-
lutte accuracy of their aim.
Means of Defense.
To understand this one has merely
to review the mean Of defense at the
disposal of the armies in the field.
First, besides the trenches, and the
barbed wire that prevents access to
them, which are the basis of the pres
ent system of defense, and of which
the shell hole wherein the soldier con
ceals himself from the enemy, is but a
variation, the two great arms of de-
tense are the machine gun and the
''75'' cannon the last resort of the
French army and one of the great de-
tenders Of Verdun.
In the factory there is nothing
easier or relatively cheaper to make
than the machine gun. And at the
front there is nothing simpler to trans
port than this light arm, which three
