"Kiel Week "Just Before Outbreak of
 the War


 KieI. situated on the Baltic, on the eastern side of the peninsula, of Jut- land near the Baltic entrance of the Kiel canal, is the principal naval center of Germany.
 When the Germans decided to build up a great fleet the emperor used every means to encoufage a love of yachting and of the sea, and endeavored to make the Kiel Week a rival of the week at Cowes, the English yachting center.
 With this end in view, the rich Ger mans were encouraged and almost commanded to build and race yachts, and Americans and others who visited Kiel in their yachts were entertained by the emperor in an intimacy impossl- ble if they had merely come to Berlin as tourists, residing in a hotel
 We went to Kiel, in June, 1914, as guests of Allison Armour, of Chicago, on his yacht, the Utowana. I was de- tained by business in Berlin and Mrs. Gerard preceded to Kiel. I arrived there on Saturday, the twenty -sventh of June, and that night went with Ar mour to dine with the emperor on board the emperor's yacht Hohen- zollern.
 In the harbor were a fair number of German yachts, mostly sailing yachts, taking part in the races, the fine old yacht of Lord Brassey, the Sunbeam, and the yacht of the Prince of Monaco, in which he conducts his

museum which he has established at Monaco.
 On Tuesday Armour and I boarded the emperors sailing yacht, the new Meteor. The race was a beautiful run from Kiel to Eckernfjord and was won by the Meteor. As the emperor was not on board. I did not get one of the souvenir scarfpins always given to guests who sail with him on a win ming race Among our crew was Grand Admiral von Roster subse- quentlv an advocate of the ruthless submarine war.
 Eckernfjord is a little fishing and bathing town. Nearby is the country residence of Prince Henry, a rather modest house built in brick in English Elizabethan style. The wife of Prince Henry was a princess of Hesse- Darm- stadt. and is the sister of the Czarina of Russia. We had tea with Prince and Princess Henry. their family, the Duke of Sonderburg- -Glucksburg and several others of his family The bil- Hard room of the house is decorated with the large original caricatures made by McCutcheon of the princes stay in America. Prince and Princess Henry came out to dine on the Uto- waaa, and Armour and the prince vert ashore to attend another Biera- bend, but I dodged the smoke and beer and remained on board. Before he left the yacht, l had talk with Prince
 Henry. He seemed most exercised
Arizona republican., 1917-09-02

over the dislike of the Germans by all other peoples and asked me why l thought that it existed. I politely told him that I thought it existed because Of the success which the Germans had had in all fields of endeavor, particu- larly in manufacturing and commerce. He said with great truth that he be- lieved a great deal of it came from the bad manners of the travelling Germans. Prince Henry is an able and reasonable man with most delightful maner He speaks English with a perfect English accent, and I think would be far hap pier as an English country gentleman than as the Grand Admiral of the Ger man Baltic fleet. He has been devoted to automobiling and has greatly en- couraged that industry in Germany. The Automobile club of Berlin is his particular pet.
 On returning to Kiel next day we spent several days longer there lunched on board his battleship with next to him at the table. He struck me then as an amiable sea dog, com- bining much political and worldly wis., dom with his knowledge of the sea-
 From Kiel we motored one night to dine with a count and countess in their country house. This house had been built perhaps two hundred years and was on one side of square. the other three sides being formed by the great stone barns in which the produce of
Arizona republican., 1917-09-02

he estate was stored. Although the irst door of the house was elevated about eight feet above the ground, the family, on account of the dampness of hat part of the world, lived in the second story, and the dining room vas on this story. An ancestor of the count had, at a time when this part of the country was part of Denmark and about the year 1700, lent all his available money to the then Fin Denmark A crude painting in the hall showed him sitting in the hall of this particular house smoking a long pipe and surrounded by three or four sis ters who were all spinning.
 Our hostess told rs that this picture represented the lending ancestor being supported by his sisters while waiting the return of the loan which he had made to the Danish king, an early ex- mple of the situation disclosed by the popular song which runs, Everybody works but father" Of course, no one ever expected a Prussian nobleman to do any work except in the line of war or governing the inferior classes of the country.

of the London Daily Mail, ranged up alongside in a small launch and in formed us that the Archduke Franz Ferdinand the heir to the Austrian throne, and his wife had been assas- sinated at Sarajevo There was much rushing to and fro in fasl benches the emperor himself being summoned from the race which was in progress. That night we dined on board the yacht of the Prince of Monaco. All the diplomats and notables whom 1 met during the afternoon and evening seemed to think that there was no chance that the tragedy at Sarajevo would lead to war. The next morning the emperor left early for Berlin, but expressly directed that the festivities and races at Kiel should be carried out as arranged.
 Monday afternoon there was a
 "Bierabend" in the large hall of the yacht club at Kiel The emperor was to have presided at this dinner, but his place was taken by his brother, Prince Henry, who, it will be remembered. visited the United States not so many years ago. Sir Edward Goschen, the British ambassador, who was living on one of the British battleships, sat on his right and l sat on his left. Dur ing the evening d curious incident hap pened. The prince and were talking of after dinner speaking and what dangerous sport it was. In the midst of our conversation some one Whis- pered to the prince and he rose to his feet, proposed the health of the visit ing British admiral and fleet and made little speech. As he concluded, he said, addressing the officers of the British fleet, We are sorry you are going and we are sorry you came" It is remarkable as showing the dsci- pline of the German nation and their respect for authority that thereafter no German ever referred to this curi-

A great English fleet, comprising some of their most powerful dreadnoughts, had also ar rived, sent as an earnest of the good will and kindly feeling then snnDosed to exist between Great Britain and Germany. The redoubtable von Tir- pitz was present on German battle ship, and the Hamburg American line had an old transatlantic steamer, the Deutschland. rechristened the Victoria Luise, filled with guests, most of whom were invited on a hint from the emt peror
 At dinner on the Hohenzollern a number of English people were pres ent. The kaiser had on one side of him the wife of the British admiral Lady Maud Warrander, and on the other side the Countess of March. whose husband is heir to the Duke of Rich mond. I sat between Princess Nuns ter and the Countess of March, and af- ter dinner the emperor drew me over to the rail of the ship and talked to me for some time. l wish that diplomatic etiquette would permit me to reveal what he said, but even in wartime I do not think I ought to violate the confidence that hospitality seals. How ever important and interesting, espe- cially to the tame socialists of Ger many, l do not give this conversation with the emperor nor the conversation with him and Colonel House at the "Schrippen Fest" because I was his guest. Conversations with the en- peror which I had on later occasions were at official audiences and to these the same rule does not apply He also invited me to sail with him in his yacht the Meteor, in the races from Kiel to Eckernfjord on the coming Tuesday.
 Sunday afternoon Prince Henry and his wife, who reside in the castle at Kiel, were to give an afternoon re- ception and garden party, but on ar irving at the gates we were told that the party would not take place. After going on board the Utowana, Frederick w. Vile, the celebrated correspondent

 The night was rather mild and after dinner we walked about the gardens of the yacht club. I had a long and interesting conversation with the Prince of Monaco. That prince, who receives such a large income from the company which carries on the gamb- ling rooms at Monte Carlo, is a man of the world intensely interested in scientific research; there is practically no corner of the seven seas into which his yacht has not poked her nose in the search for material for the sea
