It would be three o'clock before he

After the kaiser had had his sleep, l

He entered the room attired in a red

While walking down the corridor I

CHAPTER XIV.

The Kaiser and Things American.
Among the Germans generally there
lie surprising degree Of ignorance re-
garding conditions in America. The
untraveled German has but the vaguest
ideas concerning our people and our
institutions. I have had patients of
intelligence and education ask me how
We are abe to cope with the Indians.
In view of the extent of German emf.
grafton to America and the vast VOL
ume Of commercial transactions be-
tween the two countries, it is almost
unbelievable that such erroneous no
lions should prevail in these enlight.
ened days. but they do. -
This fact partially serves to explain
how easy it was for the kaiser and his
inspired press to pull the wool over
the peoples eyes regarding the unim-
portance of Americas entry into the
war. 1t doesn't explain at all, how
ever, how completely the kaiser him.
self underestimated us and our power,
for doubt whether there is any for
eigner living, who has never visited
America who knows more about our
country than the German emperor. In
deed, he was more familiar with many
of our problems than many of our
countrymen, ind he frequently reveal
ed to me in the course Of our CONVEX.
sations how thoroughly posted he was
on American conditions.
Long before the subject of forest
conservation was taken up seriously in
this country. the kaiser pointed out to
me what great mistake we were
making in not devoting more atten-
ton to 1t.
Gan you tell me, Davis, why you
have so many forest fires in your coun-
try7' he asked, after a particularly
destructive coniagration in the West
had destroyed many acres Of timber.
"How does it happen?"
I explained to him that most of the
forest fires came from sparks from
locomotives. Careless lumbermen al
lowed the branches which they Topped
off the trees to remain on the ground
and when they were ignited by sparks
the IRE sometimes spread to the uncut
timber. As the, facilities for extin-
gushing fire In these appropriated re-
yions were practically nil and the eli
mate made the timber particularly in
dammable, these fires usually attained
serious dimensions.
"That points out again the inefh-
cheney Of your form Of government" he
commented. you have laws requiring
the railways to use appliances to ar
rest the sparks from their engines,
haven't you? Why don't you enforce
them? Your people don't seem to
realize that it takes years to grow a
tree. Because you have more than you
need today, you make no preparation
for tomorrow. For every tree cut
down another should be planted. II
you don't adopt some such measure the
time will surely come when America

''They say these coming towers are

never get close enough to your enemy
to use such small guns. Again. If one
of those masts were hit It would send
q shower of steel about the heads of
the men on board, and would not only
put many of them out Of action. but
Y Juld be in the way. Suppose, too,
the mast were struck down and hung
over the side? 1t would drag through
the water, and would not only serious
IL impede the vessel, but it would
cause the ship to list and expose a
larger area on one side than would be

NJ I have said, might answer first-rate
for serving tea, but I don't think much
Of them for active service"
But If the kaiser saw much in
American ways and customs to con-
denim, he likewise saw much to COM
mend, and, before the war, he was
liberal in his praise of many Of our
qualities and achievements.
He was very much interested, for
instance, in the experiments and dis
cOveries of Luther Burbank. TO make
Germany seif-suppOrting as far as
food resources were concerned was enc
of his dearest ambitions. He realized
that in the event of world war his
.ople would probably suffer more
from lack of food than they would
from hostile bullets. and he was hnping
that he would be able to G5yi:te that
