The latter, his cheeks scarlet, reeled
and clutched at the table.
His first impulse was to hit back ;
but, with self-possession, he drew him
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.
SWELL" exclaimed Rudolph at last,
she shall pay for that blow, even
though he be emperor" and he strobe
out, leaving me speeches. with sur
prise.
A few minutes later l assembled to
the deck in order to refresh my mud
died senses. l was walking up the
deck when suddenly 1 saw before me
several of the personal suite, who sa-
Iuted 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 Lantzsca.
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-
a captain to be put under arrest,
But he was not. He entered my cabin
smiling and merry an hou afterwards
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 a'loyal 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 1 was about
to turn in, I received a command tc
go to the emperor's cabin wherein he
worked.

Indisputably the Most Terrible

While Necessary in Offensive Warfare

In Defensive Tactics.

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, il is true, a
diminution of forces on both sides, and
one 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 it, one asks, that despite
the accumulation of heavy cannon 1t
costs so much in men and money and
time to break the enemy's resistance?
1t is because this war is being fought
In a 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
can be brought into action and manu-
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 means of defense at the
disposal of the armies in the field.
First, besides the trenches, and the
barbed wire hat prevents access to
them, which r 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 q
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

Its aim is most accurate ; it can, when
necessary, fire from 500 to 600 car.
tridges per minute, sowing death CD
every side with incredible speed. But
against a trench it is powerless, and
therefore it is prominently the arm
of defense. When properly handled,
it is so redoubtable that one alone has
been known to stop an entire regi.
ment. 1t is indisputably the most ter
rfble instrument of a
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
are to be added the rifles
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 a~dversary'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 ei'
p~losive, is capable of demollshing u
netting, of demOralizing those occG
pants of the trench whom 1t does nU'
kill and keeping the adversary's nerves
on edge by the menac of its suddep
arrival several kilOmeters behind m'
lines. Thus the means of offensive an

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

By loon the body of the kaiser's

it now reposes in the little cemetery

which rise against the gray, turbulent
