FORMER GERMAN KAISER
 WAS AN IMPERIAL TOP

The kaiser changed his clothes oftener and wore more different uni forms than any monarch in Europe, but there was one garment he did not wear, and that was dressing gown, an exchange says. There was not such a thing in his whole ward robe. Once when the royal tailor, thinking to please him, sent him a richly embroidered dressing gown of costly fabric the kaiser sent it back with the message, written in his owh hand, "The Hohenzollerns do not wear dressing gowns"
 no With three hundred uniforms in his wardrobe and usage requiring that he should change his attire to receive an admiral a general, diplomat, review a regiment, receive a civil deputation, ride. dine or preside at court of social function, the kaiser'S habits and routine would leave little time for lolling in a dressing gown. His wordrobe was valued at $1500,000 and required the attention of IF val cts besides a corps of tailors. Some 35 uniforms were required to take him through the ordinary routine of military, court and civil functions. The others were retuired only on state occasions or when he visited foreign courts.

 The Appeal
 By Lieut.. Col.

 The Promise
 By c. B. Galbreath In Flanders fields the cannon boom And fitful flashes light the gloom, While up above, like eagles, fly The fierce destroyers of the sky; With stains the earth wherein you

Walter r. Blue. one of the six sons
of Mrs. Ida May Blue, sixty-four years
old, of the Warrington Apartments.
Eighteenth and Wyoming avenue
northwest in the United States serv-
ice. is reported in today's casualty
list as having died in an airplane ac-
cident.
Mrs. Blue believes her son may not
be dead. for she received a telegram
from the War Department that Wal
ter r. Blue had died of disease on
October 10. and she had received a
very cheerful letter from him dated
on October s, at which time he said
he was mot feeling very well, but he
would feel better after a nights
sleep" She gains some comfort also
from the fact that the telegram and
manner of his death.
''I suppose that-the best thing is to
wait until / can hear something def
mite about him." she said this morn
ing. 81 am trying not to worry, but /
would be very glad il l could have
one of my sons with me now. I am
all alone in the house, and that makes
the suspense much harder to bear"
Besides Walter, another son, Nor
man r Blue, is lighting in France.
Walter was attached to the 311th
machine gun battalion, and Norman
is with the Medical Corps.
The other four sons are: Ralph D.
who is with the Shipping Board at
Philadelphia: Edward s., Frank l.
and William F. Blue.
In talking OF the report OF the
death OF her son Mrs. Blue said:
walter should never have been
called. He was under a doctors
treatment at the time he was called
to camp. He has been subject to
attacks of pneumonia every winter
and am the only one who knows
how to take care of him. Ny great
fear when he left was that he might
have a spell at a time when could
not be with him. "h-"-
