CHAPTER Ill.
The Kaiser's Dual Personality.


IfIhad come away from Germany IN
January, 1914, instead Of in January,
1913. and had written the impression
T had gained of the kaiser In the ten
years I had known him, what a false
picture I would have painted OF The
man as he really is!
II would have been a picture OF q
man who in general appearance ana
hearing was every inch az emperor ana
vet who could exhibit all the courtesy
affability and geEt!eness OF the most
democratic gentleman a man SOFT or
eye and kindly in expression, man O.
wide reading and MISUNDERSTANDING
the most versatile man IN the Worla, d
man who possessed most alert mina'
q remarkable memory and the keenest
observation; a man who was net gen.
erous in nature and yet was at times
considerate of others q man Oh Charm
ing personality and amiability. Il
would have shown a man Of unpar-
alleled egotism, g man who was I'M
patient of correction and who Would
brook no opposition. There might have
been In the picture suggestion OF the
dire lengths to which the man would
90 to have his way, but it would have
been only q suggestion.
AS far as it went, the picture would
have been accurate, but 1t would have
been sadly incomplete-wlth all the
lights worked In but lacking all the
shadows.
It took the war and it's attendant
horrors to reveal the kaiser In his
true colors. The war did not change
his character; it uncovered it.
Early in my practice I happened to
mention to the kaiser that l appre-
ciated the friendliness he showed me
in invariably waving his hand at me
as he passed my window when walking
along the Tiersarten.
"It's a good advertisement for you,
Davis" he said. "The people see me
waving t0 you and they know you must
be a good dentist or / wouldn't
come to you. 1t Will help your DUST
ness" In every act, he was conscious
of the public.
During that period Of my career In
Berlin, ne showed the utmost interest
in ny progress end frequently Inquired
how my practice Yves; developing.
The first bill l rendered him, as !
have mentioned, he doubled. On q
number OF subsequent occasions, he
paid me more than l-y bill called for.
These ovcrray:rents 2ever amounted

Leads in Equipment.

The American infantryman in the
EXpedltlcnary Forces carries 200
rounds Of ammunition in the pockets
of his light canvas webb belt and his
bandoleers. The German soldier has
only 120 rounds and 80 of these are in
his knapsack. To secure them at a
critical moment he must lose valua-
BILE time.
The American webb belts, accord
ing to to the war department, are far
superior to the German leather ban
doleers. They are not affected by
prolonged rains nor torrid weather.
The manufacture of these belts is
one of the most intricate of the oper-
atiOns in the textile field. U. S.
Army belts are made almost entirely
of cotton.
The exact weight of the 22O rounds
carried by the American soldier in
France is II pounds. With the
Springfield rife % aimed shots can be
fired each minute. Firing from the
hip 40 shots can be fired minute.
The new United States model 1917
modified Enfield) does even better.

getner. One tnIng rf1aL makes a szzzz0r-
ence with us is that practically all our
women are homemakers. Such wom-
en-, | believe, are far more ready to
see and to help work at the food
problem than are apartment jewellers
or those who live in hotels. We han
die the problem directly. It is taken
care of in each home, and that is why
we have high percentage Of food
cOnservers In Alaska.
1T would be an ex&ggeration to say
that we have almost as many types in
Alaska as we have people. Yet that
statement would at least indicate the
diversity of our population. One thing.
however. that has proved to me that
patriotism and hNmAnitarianism make
q universal appeal il that all these
different types have responded with
equal readiness to the demand Of food
conservation.
when navigation opens we expect
to carry our work far and wide, and
we hope that there will not be fam
lily in all our great territory that is
not doing something for the war. that
seems so far away, bat that is so close
to us because it vitality affects the
right of every man to carve out his
destiny, unhampered by the demands
Of despotism and militarism."

AEASKA'S SHARE IN

Mrs. Shattuck told most interest.

TOTAL ECLIPSE OF sun
Solar Event Saturday, June 8
Wont Occur Again For
$50 Long Years.

MADISON, Wis, June 1.-Prof.
George Comstock of the University
observatory said that the eclipse of
the sun on June 8, which will be a
total eclipse in some parts of the
country, will only be a partial eclipse
in Wisconsin. 1t will be visible to
Wisconsin people on the afternoon of
that date.
1t is only about once in every $50
years that Americans get chance to
stand in their own yards and see a
total eclipse of the sun. And June s
this year is. one of those rare occa-
sionS.
Of course, total eclipses are hap
pening somewhere in the world most
of the time; but get all over the
world only once in every three and a
half centuries. So it will be well
worth your while to watch for this
one.
This eclipse during which the moon
will swing in between the earth and
sun, blotting out daylight in many
parts of the United States and cast
ing world shadows on others, will be-
gin at sunrise, away over at the lit
tie island of Borodino, south of jap
an. 1t will pass quickly across the
Pacific, making the trip in about two
hours and quarter, striking the
American coast at the Columbia riv-
er about l:55 p. m. At this time it
will be travelling at the rate of nearly
two thousand miles an hour.
This great black shadow will cut a
diagonal swath across the United
States about sixty miles wide which
will run through parts of Washing
ton, Oregon, Idaho, Wyoming, Color
ado, Kansas, Oklahoma, Louisiana,
Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida.
This swath will be dark with the
darkness of total eclipse for about
ninety seconds. Folk on both sides
of the black path will get share OF
it. They will see, not a total eclipse,
but a partial one, on the afternoon of
June s. The farther away they are
from the path, the less will be their
gloom, but they'll have to be pretty
far away. Even as far down as south
ern California about three quarters
of the sun will be covered. Pretty
much all Of the United States will
get touch of the big event.
The big shadow will sweep across
the county at an almost unbelievable
rate Of speed. The fastest express
train, the speediest flying machine,
would seem merely to crawl in COM
parison with it. 1t will flash from
coast to coast in exactly forty
minutes. It should reach the Missis-
sippi valley about 4:37 p. m. central
time, jumping off the Florida coast at
5:42.
The coming of this eclipse has
turned astronomers topsy turvy,
They are rushing around planting
mammoth cameras in big Observable
ries to snap the phenomena They
are putting them all along the route
OF the big show, for fear a small cloud
may interfere with cameras here and
there.
