 arrival of Germans and by the sight of Prussian officers clad in their uni forms openly walking about the streets as though they had taken pos session of them. A number of off cers came from The Hague and mad" their headquarters at the village ho- tel, and the telegraph wire was sell dom out of use.
 During these days the ex-Kaiser was occupied in holding long con- ferences with the officers after which in company with one or two of the more favored he would walk about the grounds. There was a serious eX- pression on his face and, when along with these officers, it was mo- ticeable that the eX-war Lord became in his actions and conduct generally more like his own self. He threw aside civilian clothing, and, donning his Generals uniform strutted about the grounds with head erect. To me it was evident that these officers who had come from Germany were the bearers of good news, which had served to revive the eNiled Kaiser's hope and aspirations
 During one of these walks, hap pened to be passing through the grounds when Wilhelm, catching sight of me, beckOned to me to ap- prOach him. The War Lord was in the best of spirits, and, with Q cheery remark, presented me to Major IIirschleid and another officer with whom he was parading. The Major. with whom I was on the best of terms, Iaughingly remarked. Al though we have had many most de- HghtfuI conversations, it is left to His Majesty to formally introduce us"
 Perhaps, then, I have served some good purpose" laughed the eX-Kaiser who went on to ask Major Hirsch- 7eid-'.FIas he told you of his ad- ventures in England ?"
 Kaiser and Zeppelin Raids.
 The Major replied that I had not mentioned my visits, whereupon the Kaiser said, You should hear him tell of his adventures on one of the raid nights
 And forthwith Wilhelm proceeded to relate to the Major story which I had told him of an experience had one evening when visiting Lon don in 1917, when German aeroplanes night after night came over the city dropping bombs. On the particular night of which the Kaiser was telling 1 happened to be sheItering in the cellar of a house upon which a bomb fell and l narrowly escaped death.
 In the telling, Wilhelm greatly em- belIished the story giving rein to his love of romance, and relating sup posed incidents which made my es- cape from death little short of the miraculous The story led to gen. eral discussion on the policy of raids by aircraft upon open towns, and Wilhelm took opportunity to once a gain express his views upon the usb- ject. Several times during prfvate conversations that I had with him. he said he was doubtful of the general policy but this time he went much further.
 How far this opinion was a genuine and honest one is not for me to say. Possibly his outspoken words may have been influenced by the fact that a this time it was pretty well known that the Allies would, if possible, bring to trial those responsible for the policy
 T certainly am of the opinion now, after due reflection, that the policy of raiding London was a mistaken one" he declared, and then warming to his subject he said-"When my people were being starved by the blockade which the British navy had enforced, there appeared to be some justification for raiding London, and We had to leave nothing undone that was likely to affect the morare oI the enemy. One can see now thai this end was by no means achieved still, if our innocent women and chil- dren were suffering, why should no, '*he innocent ones in enemy countries be made suffer also? That, you vii agree, is logical? However, realize blU05pT which
 With this he dismissed the subject and continued his walk rather abrupt ly. He and the other two were soor IrnTn ersed deeply in conversation, anG were later joined by General von IFS dOrf and Count MoItke. Luncheon was served to the whole party in the ex-Kaiser's private dining room, and as I passed the door of the dining room, which was standing open, could not resist the temptation tt glance inside.
 The ex-Kaiser, who was wearin! the full service uniform of a Prus sian Field-M Marshal, and had on hi f7lnic the famous Iron Cross with oth CT decOra tiOnS, was seated at the heat of the table, while the other member of the entourage were standing rig idly at attention. General von Esdor
