they did In the case Of the kaiser.
During his various visits to me I
tried to draw him out a little on DIFF

were not Of much moment.
"The allies think we will run short
OF man-power." he said on one occa-
sion, "but we've got 100000 youths
growing up and we'll soon be able to
put them In the war. There's no dan
ger OF our running short Of men, but,
really, l wish 1t were sll over. This
war Is a lot Of damned nonsense, you
knoww He talked as II the two mil
lion growing-up youths Of Germany
were created for the Hohenxollerns to
use as they pleased.
Another remark he made which In
dicnted how sadly he mlsconstrued the
epoch-making significance Of the great
war In which the whole world was
involved was quite characteristic.
with so many men at the 'front.'"
he said. "the men at home ought to be
having fine time with the women,
eh, what? DO you see many good
looking girls In Berlin nowf"
In this connection I may mention
that many Of the more sober officers
told me that they were disgusted with
the manner In which the crown prince
was acting Mt his headquarters. at is
really disgrace" they complained,
for the crown prince to have so many
questionable women visiting him. It
certainly doesn't set much Of an ex-
