KAISER'S PECULIAR
 HUMOR IS TOLD IN A
 GERMAN PUBLICATION
Incidents of How He Insulted an Admiral While Taking a Trip on His Royal
 Yacht.

/, LONDON, March 19.-The imper
 ial manners of former Kaiser Will
 helm, an example of his royal joke.
 and the stolid servility with whicf
 his officers endured them in prewal times was disclosed recently in al
 article by Johannes Fischart in the
 German publication Weltbuehne. In July, 1901, relates Fischart, the emperor was on board the cruiser | Nymphs to watch the yacht races l of the kiel regetta. In one of the intervals he went into the captain deck cabin to sign some state pa
 pers.
 Interrupting his work of append ing the signature to documents plac
 ed before him one after the other
 by Admiral Von Tirpitz, the Kaiser remarked to another Admiral stand ing near: ''Tirpitz is a bore with his documents, I should prefer a glass of champagne"
 At your service, Majesty replied the other Admiral, who rushed head
 long to bring glass of champagne which he handed to the monarch
 with a low bow
 Wilhelm drank half the glass then went out on the bridge, beneath where General von Hannke and the
 officers of his brilliant suit were quartered. ''Hannke," shouted the
 Emperor, you would like some
 champagne too," and as the General
 turned his face upwards to reply
 Wilhelm poured the remainder of
 his own glass over General Hannke
 Majesty is too gracious" was Gen
 eral Hannke's manly retort to the
 insult, while the remaining officers
 of the imperial suite roared with
 laughter at the imperial joke. Wilhelm returned in boisterously
 good humor to the deck cabin and demanded something to eat. The attentive Admiral rushed to fetch
 some caviar sandwiches. Taking one of these sandwiches, Wilhelm re moved the butter and the caviar with his forefinger, which he then licked clean and emerging once more upon the bridge shouted: "Hannke you would like some caviar sand wiches I am sure" As Genera Hannke looked up to murmer his thanks, Wilhelm threw the remnant
 of bread in his face Again General
 Hannke, with curtly bow replied Majesty is too gracious"
 This was a typical scene, says Herr Fischart

TO Be ELECTED
BY REPUBLICANS
Interest Centers in Candidate
to Fill Vacancy Of Ed
Beach; Meeting Opens
Tuesday.

Lincoln. June s-fSpeciaD.-
Much interest is being taken in the
meeting of the republican state COM
mittee which has been called for
2 o'clock, Tuesday afternoon, in this
city.
The main interest centers in the
election OF a state chairman to fill
the vacancy caused by the resigna-
ton of former Chairman Ed Beach
last January.
Mvron L. Learned, vice chairman
has been acting chairman but is I'M
ders.ood not to desire the place.
R. w. Devoe Mentioned.
R. w. Devoe, chairman of the last
republican state convention, has
also been mentioned, but it is under
stood that Mr.. Devoe is deluctant
to accept because of his large bust
ness activities along the line of his
profession which takes SO much of
his time.
Secretary Nels Hansen, has ais,
teen mentioned for the place, but
it is understood that he is not active
and much prefers to remain in his
present position where he has been
looking after headquarters since the
resignation of Mr.. Beach.
S.,ll others are boosting for Frank
P. Corrick who was once secretary
and later chairman for the progress
sive party committee, but is now

viewing the photoplay, refused to

their ruling on the grounds that to

time.

the fight its women are making tor

when it was attacked by the anarch

her example by refusing to register.
It is a thrilling, absorbing picture
with tremendous theme.
The production is unusually elab-
crate and beautiful, many of the
scenes taking place at court. In the
ballroom scenes, hundreds of eX-

tunes and military uniforms were
worn.

which resolve themselves into not
only complicated but uncompromis-

type, which while being absolutely
innocent appear on the surface to be
quite the reverse.

adding to his reputation as one of

Major Hughes, who will always
be grateful to Colonel Roosevelt for
the part he took in defending the
book, remarked not long ago, when
he saw the picture version in New
York. that it would always remain
one of his regrets that Colonel
Roosevelt had not lived to see the
power for good which had been
evolved from the storysand so strik-
ngly presented in the photoplay.
The Lyman H. Howe Travel Fes-
tival which started its four-day en-
gagement at the Brandeis theater

a tour of Japan; into the Canadian
Willis on a canoe fishing trip;
through Yellowstone National park;
into the Italian Alps, where the ski
warriors of democracy are trained;
in looping the loop warplanes over
the city of Washington; down the
mysterious Ocklawaha river i'll the
Florida glades; and upon thrilling
adventure in the South seas, where
huge sea elephants are captured
alive. Characteristic Howe ami
mated cartoons and film novelties

William Stowell, who appears in
the role of Eagle Ryan" in sup
port of Mildred Harris-Mrs. Char

Friday only, has added to his many
laurels as a musician by scoring a
distinct triumph as song writer.
B,l's ability as pianist-every-
body calls him Bill at the studios
is generally known among screen
folk on the Pacific coast, but it was
not until very recently that any
one knew he wrote songs.
Sessue Hayakawa, undoubtedly a
most interesting and virile dramatic
personality of the silent drama, has
never done stronger characterize
ton than Goro Moriyama, the role
he assumes in "His Debt" at the
Muse again today and Tuesday.
The highly emotional and thrill
ing situations in the play afford
this master actor many opportuni-
ties for the display of his superior
talents, and he succeeds in making
the character of the Japanese gamb-
Ter who relcntlessly pays His
Debt" almost uncanny in its vivid
realism.
The play emphasizes the racial
differences of the orient and occi-
dent, while in the development is
shown the wide gulf between the
two peoples which can never be
bridked 1t shows the relentless,
fatalistic Buddhist and the tolerant
western Christian.
