THE KAISER AS I KNEW
HIM FOR FOURTEEN YEARS

BY ARTHUR N. DAVIS D. d.
Copyright 1915 by the Mcclure Newspaper syndicate)
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1918-09-05

The Princess Hatfield, 1 may man.
ton, was an extremely intelligent
and beautiful young woman, and be-
cause of her intimacy with the
Crown Princess, l took a keen inter-
est in the views she expressed from
time to time. Her mother was an
American.
When she called on me on one oc-
casion after the war had started, l
repeated to her the gist of conver-
sation l had had a few days before
with her father, EXcellenz Won
Stumm. He informed me that he
had been trying to convince all
Germans of influence that it would
be a serious mistake to annex Bel
gium.
From morning to night 1 have
been trying, to teach our people
some sense" he had declared. with
the history of Poland and Alsace-
Lorraine in mind, why should we
take more responsibilities on our
shoulders by retaining Belgium? :?
The Lord only knows we have our
hands full as it is. 1 don't see and
never have seen how Germany can
possibly win this war!"
Your father seemed to be very
pessimistic regarding the outlook," 3"
l told her.
The sad thing about it," she re-
piled, lis that father is always right!
l never knew him to make a mis-
take in judgment"
When the Crown Prince called 20
see me again l was surprised to find
a considerable change in his general
appearance. Although, of course, he
was ten years older, he had aged
more than I would have expected.
There were lines on his face which
made him look older than his thirty
three years.
In the outer world he was gener-
ally expected to be one of the lead
ing spirits of the military party in
Germany, but among his own people
he was not credited with sufficient
ability or influence to be much of d
factor. Indeed, within the past yea-
he had been criticised rather Sc
verely in army circles for his indif-
ference to the crisis in which his
country was involved and for not
taking the war seriously enough, and
from all I was able to observe of
him during the visits he paid me
after the resumption of our relations
these criticisms were well founded.
The newspapers, however, which
were naturally inspired. always
brought his name to the front when
ever the army he was accredited to
made any successful showing, just
as they did in the case of the Kaiser.
noted that the Crown Prince
seemed to be vitality interested in his
personal appearance and in other
trivial things which one would have
thought he might very well have ig-
nored in those serious times. He
was still as fond of jewelry appar-
emily as he had ever been, two new
rings which he wore affording him
much satisfaction He showed me
new wristwatch attached to an
elastic linked bracelet, of which he
seemed to be very proud, and asked
me what / thought of 1t. 1t was
more on the order of the wrist
watches worn by ladies than of the
military style which is favored by
army men.
He talked about new two-seated
roadster which he was driving and
was very much elated over a new
raincoat he was wearing. In fact,
before he left that day, Princess Au-

gust Wilhelm, her sister, Princess
Carolina, of Schleswig Holstein, and
several ladies-in-waiting had assem-
bled in my salon to wait for him, and
when l was through with him, he
put on his new raincoat and walk
ing into the salon, strutted up and
down in frolt of the ladies, inquir-
ing how thcv liked the cut of his
new coat. The war seemed to be
about the last thing on his mind.
During his various visits to me I
tried to draw him out little on diff
ferent aspects of the international
situation, but the ideas he expressed
were not of much moment.
The Allies think we will run
short of man-power," he said on one
occasion, but we've got two million
youths growing up and We'll soon be
able to put themsin the war. There's
no danger of our running short of
men, but. really, l wish it, were all
over. This war is a lot of damned
nonsense, you know!" He talked as
if the two million growing-up youths
of Germany were created for the
HohenZollerns to use as they pleased.
Another remark he made whi.h
indicated how sadly he misconstrued
the epoch-making significance of the
great war in which the whole world
was involved was quite character
istic.

I The Crown Prince was a reckless
| driver at best. On one occasion he
was going so fast through a city
street that his car climbed the side
walk and crashed into a lamppost
His car was smashed but he escaped
injury.
| saw him on several occasions
stop his motor or pull up his horse
for the purpose of giving a coin to a
child or a seedy-looking passerby on
the street, & form of ostentatiouS
charity which appealed very strongly
to him. Among other qualities
which he inherited from his father
was love for posing in public. He
never allowed an opportunity to pass
to make a favorable impression with
the people, and one read almost
daily of his various activities. Either
the representatives of the German
press must have been omnipresent
or the imperial press agent was I'M
, usually efficient. On one OCCASION
when still quite young, the Crown
Prince rode his horse up the hun
dred steps of the Palace at Sans
Souci, not a particularly difficult
feat, but the newspapers and maga-
zines made all they could out of it.
Although I did not see the Crown
Prince again professionally until
1915, the Crown Princess came to
me in 1918, and from that time on
paid me more or less regular visits
She was a woman of great charm
and intelligence, and although she
was more Russian than German in
her ideas, ,and for some time after
criticised on that account, she soon
became extremely popular and to-
day is very much admired by the
German people.
In her youth much of her time
had been spent on the French Ri
Veira and she had found French as
sociations and customs more to her
liking than German. When pre-
pairing Tor her nuptials she spent
more time in Paris than she did in
Berlin, most of her shopping oeing
done in the French capital. The
complaint was freely made that a
French trousseau was hardly appro-
pirate for the wife-to-be of a Ger
man Crown Prince.
These adverse criticisms were soon
lived down, however, and the Crown
Princess became a great favorite in
German Court circles, to which she
brought a youthful animation and
esprit which had been notably alb
sent before her advent.
She was one of the most demo-
cratic and informal Of my royal pa
tients. 1 remember one day when
1 was working on Princess HATFIELD
we heard a loud "Hoo-Hoo" from
the anteroom. The Crown Princess
had heard that the Princess Hatz-
field, who was a great chum of hers
was in my office and had followed
her into my place unannounced.
On another occasion, I had Just

writing a letter when dog ran into

who had let the animal in and found
! that the Crown Princess and Prln,
cess Hatfield had walked into my
| office. Desiring to make an ap.
pointment for the following week
and passing my place, they had
stepped in for that purpose in the
most informal way. The dog, whict
belonged to the Crown Princess, haG

brought home to me very poignant
ly the fact that 1 did not want to
live in a glittering big hotel a day
longer than l must.

he was giving dinner for some
officers and their wives that even

HAIR GRAY AT 21
 WITH SHOCK OF WAR

Private Howard Farley, son of Mir. and Mrs. Charles J. Farley, of 1864 State street, has reached America and is now confined to DebarkadOn Hospital, No. 8, at Greenhuts, New York, as the re- suit of a shrapnel wound received while in action with his regiment in France.
 The Bridgeport soldier has gone through some narrowing experi- ences, according to his mother, who has just returned from a visit to his bedside. Despite the fact that he is but 21 years of age his hair has turned gray.
 Farley received his initiation to the horrors of war before reach- ing the western hattie front. He is a survivor of the torpedOed transport Otranto, having been in the water many hours before he was finally rescued by a sailor.
 At Chateau Thierry he was a victim of mustard gas and for weeks lost his sight. He fought in the engagements at Cambrai previously to being gassed.
 He wears two gold stripes for wounds, shattered star as the result of his being on a wrecked ship and a blue ribbon denoting one years service.
 It will be some time before his wounds have healed sufficiently for him to be about.
