 Well, it speaks well for our rail- way system in wartime, doesn't It? Whc ever heard of train getting in ahead of time these days?'
 During the course of my work one of his private secretaries came in re- peatedly with telegrams and messages for the Kaiser, and he would usually excuse himself to read them. Some times he would be summoned outside to consult with important persons who were there to see him, but he was never gone more than ten minutes at a time

him that I was to go there to meet the Kaiser and he then informed me that some officers in two motors had been around looking for me half an hour before
 "They first went to the station to meet the 6:15 train, and when they found you were not on that they came here, but you weren't registered and didn't know you were in the place and sent them away. You can get in touch with them by calling up No. f5 on the telephone.
 followed his suggestion and quick ly secured connection with the Kali ser's Garderobe. His secretary said he would send right around for me.
 They came over in 8 big car. and after picking up my baggage at the station, drove me to the palace. Sen tries were posted at the palace gates, but there was no other sign of military activity that I could observe.
 As we drove through the beautiful park surrounding the palace, I kept on the lookout for marching troops and other evidences of bustling activity which I naturally expected to find at the Great Army headquarters of the largest army in the worlds history, but everything was strangely calm and peaceful and I concluded that they were purposely keeping me out of the busy section of headquarters.
 BEAUTIFUL LANDSCAPE
 When we arrived at the palace l was ushered through long marble halls, the walls of which were covered with antlers, to very large room on the ground floor. There was bright red carpet on the floor and the fur niture was in gold and white of an antiaue French design. It overlooked a terrace and one of the most beautiful garden landscapes I had ever seen. Lakes and flower beds arranged in the most artistic manner stretched as Tar as the eye could see. Long tailed golden pheasants were walking on the lawn some distance away and swans adorned the lakes Away in the Sis- tance I saw two officers on horseback cantering across the lawn, but they were the only soldiers in the scene. and there was absolutely nothing else to indicate that this picturesque es- tate in all it's peaceF'ilneS~ "~F was nevertheless the center about which the whols ss9s

After had treated the Kaiser in the morning I went 10 my room, as l knew it would be o'clock before he would be ready for me again. He never allowed anything to interfere with his after dinner nap
 l lay down on couch in my room and my eyes rested on most fascinating painting on one of the walls. 1t showed a rowboat with four men in it going over a waterfall. Apparently the fate of the occupants of that boat was sealed. Noth- ing could keep the boat from going over the edge and being dashed to pieces at the foot of the cataract
 The look of agony and despair on the faces of the three men in the bow of the boat showed how clearly they realized the helplessness of their position. The man in the stern of the boat was stand ing up with one foot on the side. He had grasped a frail twig which overhung the bank, but it was hardly stanch enough to stand the strain. Neverthe- less, the expression on his face disclos- ed that, combined with the sense of i'm pending disaster which possessed him., there was just a ray of hope that this little twig might be the means of averting the catastrophe
 The thought came to me that the Kaiser and his supporters were in identically the same position as the man in the stern of that ill-fated boat and that Tn their U-boat campaign, upon which they re- 1 lied so much, they were cIutching des-
 perately at frail twig which might l for moment delay but could not possibly i avert their doom
