CHAPTER XIII.

The Kaiser at Army Headquarters.
To What extent the kaiser is rsspon-
sible for the failures and entitled to
credit for the successes of his armies
in the present war, l am not in a pO-
Sition to say, but if he did not actually
direct the military policy, he at least
kept closely in touch with everything
that was going on. From the very be
ginning of hOstilitieS he lived the ma
jOr part of the time at the great army
headquarters and was in constant con-
sultatiOn with his military leaders.
L had several opportunities to see
the kaiser while he was at the various
great army headquarters.
In the spring of 1916 1 received a
IOng-distance telephone message from
the great army headquarters. which
was then in the palace of the Prince
Won Pless at Pless, to the effect that
the kaiser wanted me to go there.
During the course of my work one
of his private secretaries came in re
peatedly with kilograms and messages
for the kaiser, ant he would usually
excuse himself and read them. Some
times he would be summoned outside
to consult with important persons who

As Late as Civil War Days New York
Employed Bells to Warn Citizens
OF Danger.

Not longer ago than Civil war days
fire alarms were rung in the city on
great bells hung in towers erected for
the purpose about the town. The bells
indicated the district in which the fire
was and sometimes a good deal OF
ground was covered In looking for a
fire. The First district. for instance,
in Civil war days extended from Twen-
ty-SecOnd street north to Yorkville and
from the East river to the North
The bell ringers were constantly on
duty in the towers watching for signs
of fire. An inventory Of the contents
OF the old Marion street bell tower in
1865 shows the equipment then in use.

CHAPTER XII.
The Crown Prince-and Others.

The Crown Prince-and Others.
I first saw the crown prince profess
sionally in the spring of 1905, a few
months before his marriage. He was
then twenty-three years old. He was
in the uniform of German army Off
Ger but looked more like a CORPS stu
dent except for the fact that his face
was not marked with a scar from duel
ling, as is usually the case with most
members of the German fraternities.
He had a habit of placing his hands
on his hips and his coats were always
flared in at the waist which, with the
sporty angle at which he wore his cap,
gave him a swagger which was quite
foreign to the rest of the officers of the
army. He was of slender figure, which
was accentuated by his height. He
was nearly six feet tall.
He came into my office, I remember,
with copy of Life in his pocket He
took it out and opened it and showed
me a cartoon of himself which appar-
emily caused him considerable amuse-
ment and which, he said, he intended
showing his family.
There were TWO beautiful rings on
his left hand and he wore a wrist
watch, although at that time wrist
watches were used almost exclusively
by women. He seemed to be bright
and quick, but by no means brilliant.
Perhaps the quality exhibited by him
that impressed me most on that first
occasion was his excessive nervousness.
He trembIed all over. It was plain to
see he was dreadfully afraid of pain,
and he evidently realized that I had
noticed his condition.
ST suppose the crown prince and the
future ruler of Germany ought to
be brave at all times" he remarked,
but just hate to have to go to a
dentists"
He asked me If had seen any mem
Der of the court lately, and told him
that the kaiser's court chamberlain,
Count von Eulenburg, had been to see
me the previous day.
Pm not surprised he has to 90 to
the dentist; he eats too muchl" the
crown prince declared. "He can't ex
pect to have good teeth; he's always
eating. As for myself, eat very little
want to remain thin. hate fat peo
pie"
The crown prince and I did not gel
along very well at that time. Apart
| from the fact he was such a physical
| coward that it was almost impossible
to work on him satisfactorily, hs
seemed to have no idea of the meanins
of an appointment.
He would agree to be at my ofic:
at 80 and I would plan my day &C
to call me up to say he would be OF
hand at eleven, and ne would actual,
arrive about twelve. This happene,
several times, and I told him that
couldn't have my work broken up Il
that way.

and Kuche-children, church and
kitchen-and there is no question about
it that she seldom spoke on other sub
Jects when talking with me.
The kaiSerin came to me after the
war with America started, but appar-
emily she had felt some hesitation
about doing so, because the kaiser told
me shortly before her visit that she
intended coming. but pointed out that
she had decided to do so only upon his
recommendation.
In June, 1917, l received q letter
from the kaiserin's physician fnclos-
.ng one which he said had been writ
ten by the kaiserin, but which was
both unsigned and unaddressed. 1t
requested me to visit the royal palace
at HOmburg V. d. HOhe, which, in con-
junction with the adjoining town of
Kreuznach, was then the location of
the great army headquarters.
During the time / was there could
not help observing how extremely tim
Id the servants seemed to be of the
kalserin. One expected to find the
utmost servility among the kaiser's
underlingS, but I confess it came rath-
er as shock to me to see the maids
walking so timidly and talking so fear
fully when in the presence of their
wEite-haired royal mistress. I noted
particularly how very gently they
knocked at the door before entering
and how, after knocking, they immedi-
ately placed their heads against the
panel that they might catch the
kaiserin's low command to enter the
hrSt time, and so make it unneces-
sary for her to repeat it. Their de-
meanor was particularly noticeable be-
cause the kaiserin never seemed to
display the slightest impatience or ill
temper when dealing with her serv-
ants. Indeed, she seemed to me to act
no differently from the humbIest haus-
frau in the country.
Before left HOmburg, she asked me
whether l was comfortably situated and
If everything was all right for me.
1 fold her that everything was quite
satisfactory and mentioned particular
iy how nice it was to have food exactly
as we had had it before the war.
YES" she replied, I'VE have every
thing. 1 am very careful what 1 eat.
L watch my health very closely"
l remarked, too, how wonderful it
must be to have sixty palaces like the
HOmburg establishment, the beauties
of which had deeply impressed me,
adding: His majesty. I understand,
has sixty of them, has he not?'
mot quite sixty" she corrected. "Be-
tween fifty and sixty"
Between fifty and sixty pc.aces !

mark the kaiser once made to me when
talking Of the manner in which Amer
lean millionaires made their fortunes

When the time came for me to re
turn to Berlin, the kaiserin babe me
adieu, but uttered not a word of thanks
for my having given up my practice
for three days to work exclusively for
her.

He looked very SaSs and detected and
gave me the first intimatiOn that the
tragedy of SarajevO would almost in
eyitably lead to a general war.
In January, 1918, in speaking of the
part that America would take in the
war, he mentioned that his officers had
told him that 10000 Americans were
on the western front. I'VE don't be
heve it, however, he added "How
could they get there without our know
Ing 1t? Our U-bOats would certainly
have found it out. No, Davis, it's not
true"
Prince Joachim, the kaiser's young
est son, and one of the last of the
royal family to visit me. reminded me
very much of his eldest brother, the
crown prince. He was tall and slender
and would have been good-IOoking but
for retreating chin which was very
pronounced. He had as little respect
for public opinion as the crown prince,
and while the U-bOat Deutschland was
Jon its way to America principally to
bring back a cargo of rubber, the sup
ply OF which was exhausted in Ger
many, this sixth son of the kaiser was
driving around the country in q big
car and using up enormous rubber
tires, while rubber was worth it's
weight in gold and many cars for the
army were supplied with plain iron
wheels.
This prince was the only member of
the royal family to get near enough
to the firing line to get shot. The in
jury, which he received while at the
western front, was only a slight flesh
wound of the thigh, but it was enough
TO start him limping through history.
1t was such a superficial wound that
it couldn't have caused him one-half
as much pain as it gave the whole
royal family pleasure.
The fact that one of the kaiser's
own sons had actually been wounded
and shed his royal blood in active ser
vice was something that the inspired
press will never stop growing over,
Out Dy just WHAT acclu6nI the prince
happened to come within range of the
bullet has never been disclosed. New
ertheless he received the Iron Cross Of
the first class, or, as some one who
realized the significance of the Incl
dent, remarked. "a f1rSt-class iron cross
for a secOnd-clasS wound"

young prince-he is now only twenty
eight-remarked: See what one Of
your damned American bullets did to

Cattle lice are Injurious 10 all
classes OF cattle, but the greatest losses
occur in young stock and poorly nour-
ished old animals. Losses are caused
by irritation, digestive disturbances,
arrested growth, low vitality, and in
creased death rate.
Ordinarily lice on cattle are not OBJ
served until they become so numerous
that they cause unmistakable signs of
annoyance. Usually the animals whose
lousy condition first attract attention
are the poor, weak, unthrifty members
OF the herd, and frequently the owner
thinks they are lousy because they are
unthrifty, whereas the unthrifty condi-
ton may be caused by the lice.
Three kinds Of lice are commonly
found on cattle, and all three species
may be present at the same time, but
the same method Of treatment may be
used for any of them. When they
make their appearance on the cattle
during the fall or winter they usually
spread rapidly until every animal is
infested. When a herd is grossly in

animals with large areas OF skin part
