Z LONDON, Dec. S1.-The Kaisers name may be applauded In Germany says a Times correspondent, but the applause is for the old system. but not for him. Even among the up per classes there are expressions of contempt for his hiding in Holland. They think he should come out like a man and face the music. They say those near him always knew he had a yellow streak" The gen. eral prediction is that he will re- main where he is unless dragged out by main force.

cRErANs FOR BoDYeuARD
Strange Garb Of Escort Of Premier
Venizelos,

Paris, March 2.-Kings, presidents
and premiers have ceased to be a
novelty at the Peace Conference. but
the bodyguard of Premier Venizelos
OF Greece, never fails to attract great
crowds. At the hotel where the
American delegation is housed and
at the Foreign office, VeniZelos APP
proach is always heralded by the ar
rival of one of his Cretan soldiers ar
rayed more brilliantly than a comic
opera bandit.
The Cretans who escort the Greek
statesman are all more than six feet
tall and apparently have been chosen
from various organizations as to diff
ferent man appears daily, and the
same uniform is never seen twice.
The swarthy Cretans all have small
waxed ,mustaches twisted into up
turned points and stand rigidly at at
tention for hours while awaiting NJ
Venizelos at the entrance to the hotel
or the Foreign office. The jibes OF
small boys and the jokes of various
allied soldiers who gather in wonder
ment never seem to disturb the i'm
pereurbable Cretans.
Perhaps the most startling uniform
worn by one of the guards consisted
of white tights bound by tasselled
black silk cords at the knees, a red
velvet blouse and sash, red fax sur
mounted by black silk tassel SO
long that it fell below the waist and
black sandals with upturned toes
topped by great black silk pom poms
This costume was completed by an
ivory.handled knife two feet long
thrust carelessly into the sash.
The knives and swords worn by
the Cretans are the chief feature OF
the uniforms and make collectors o.
antique weapons very envious. They
are OF all sizes and shapes and have
sheaths of great splendor, jewellet
and carved in a marvellous manner
Some OF the guards are bare.kneet
and have costumes not unlike tn,
Scotch in style but much gaudier il
color Others wear marvellousl,
decorated leggings reaching far abov
the knees. Capes of oriental hue
are frequently worn by the Cretan
and add to the brilliancy of the Gree
uniforms which make the fancy dres
uniforms of the French and Englis
look sombre.
