EDITORIAL NOTE. - william Ise-
Queux, who here chronicles for his
friend, Count Ernst Won HeItxepdOrH,
h lntter's revelations of the inner
life of the imperial German court, has
long been recognized Eu-
rope ms the possessor of Its innermost
secrets.
The English "who's whov says of
hint ale Inns Intimate knowledge of
the secret service of Continental coun-
tries and Is considered by the govern
ment tof Great Brittany nm authority ON
such mntters.o Another authority snysi
aFew people have been more closely Ms
socfnted with or know more OF the
astounding inner machinery OF Ger
many than he.'
LeQueux probably Inns more sources
of secret Information mt his
than any contemporary I'm civil life, and
for the last six years the British Gov
ernment has made valuable use Of his
vast store of secret Information through
which LeQucux works ms n
assistant.
Count Won Heltzendorn becnme nm In
timate of LeQueux several years prior
to the outbreak of the war, he has been
living in retirement in France since
August, 1914, and II was there that Le-
Queux received from the crown princes
late personal adjutant permfssion to
make public these revelations of the
inner life of the HohenxOllerns-that
the democracies of the world might
come to know the real, but heretofore
hfdden personalities of the two domf-
uant members Of the autocracy they are
now .arIayed against.

time in the possession of the
late Freiherr Won Stumm, whom the
emperor often visited.
l think, however, that our host be-
came secretly irritated at the frequent
visits of his imperial guest, for certain
ly what with h establishment of the
special. telegraph to Berlin and a spe-
cial post Office, and the finding of ac-
commodation for the GROVE of person
al attendants, each visit must have
cost poor old Won Stumm a consider
able amount.
l had already been busy upstairs in
the room allotted to me, and had come
out to take u walk in the warm and
welcome sunshine, when suddenly l
saw the emperor in Il suit of brown
civilian clothes striding towards me.
He seemed to be in a humorous mood
and joked with me as 1 walked beside
him.
Suddenly he halted, as though re-
collecting something and asked:
"Heltzendorff, have you with you
some of u paper for important docu-
mentsT"
Certainly" was my reply.
"Ah! then please place some of 1t
with envelopes upon my table, and also
wire to Berlin to send here ten cou-
riers."
"Ten couriers?" 1 echoed In surprise.
: "Yes, ten. l may want even twelve
or more"
Just before eight O'Clock that night
l was informed that the couriers were
waiting below, and on descending
found six of the imperial messengers
and four from the ministry of foreign
affairs, ready to travel anywhere, even
to the uttermost ends of the earth.
A ~Stupendous Hoax.
On informing his majesty, the lat
ter handed to me about thirty of the
great blue envelopes containing "docu-
ments of the highest Importance" ad-
dressed in his own hand to various Of
ficers of state, princes, princesses, and
other prominent people in all parts of
the empire.
"These are to be taken at once, Helt-
%zendorff," the emperor said. 1.-THE mes
sengers are to bring us replies"
''In every case?" l asked.
ayes. In every case" he answered.
Then l carried the batch of corre-
spondence below, and much puzzled at
the nature of this latest activity in
private letter-writing, / handed them
to the couriers, who sorted them out
and distributed them among them
selves.
Half an hour later the documents
were being conveyed to various parts
of the empire.
When ! returned to the study i
found the kaiser laughing quietly to
himself, and wondered what could be
the reason. He signed some docu-
ments / read to him, but ever and anon
a broad smile would cross his usually
stern features.
Until a week afterwards I did not
learn the cause of the imperial merri-
ment, but when l did l burst into loud
laughter myself.
Those envelopes containing "docu-
ments of highest Importance" each con-
rained only a comic postcard, which
The emperor had purchased during q
visit to Saarbruck.
The kaiser had played a huge joke
upon those whom he despised, for the
delivery of these formidable imperial
dispatches created a great stir in the
households of their recipients. Old
princes were awakened in the middle
of the night to be handed q dispatch
from tho emperor; old princesses
jumped out of bed to receive an i'm
perial communication; officers tore
open the envelopes eagerly expecting

BEING DISCUSSED.

Kansas City, Aug. 2S.-Plans for the
part to be assumed by 662 millers in
the central west are being made by the
Hoover millers' board of this section,
which is meeting here today.
Under the food control plan the
millers have agreed to take maximum
profit Of rs cents a barrel with smaller
profit in many cases. The plan, as an
nounced, also eliminates unnecessary
haulage by shipping all wheat to the
nearest mill and the disposition of the
flour in the same territory.
No war flour" will be milled in the
United States, Andrew ]. Hunt, of Ar
kansas City. Kansas, chairman of the
board, asserted. Instructions from Mr..
Hoover, he declared, say that whole
wheat is not easily assimilated by the
human system and that experiments
with it in Belgium were disastrous to
the general health Other members of
the milling moard include George G.
