STILL RETAINS HIS
 AUTOCRAT BEARING
Once German Emperor Still Re
 tains Imperial Airs at Doorn

Doorn, July 31. - William Hohen-
 zollern, once German emperor. today
 in Doorn maintains his imperial airs as of old, according to the recitals of
 those who from time to time come in contact with him.
 The latest story is contributed by a travelling company Of student-actors. Augmenting their slender incomes by acting medieval mystery plays in va rious German and Dutch cities, the actors were requested to give a per formance at the former emperors residence. Before doing so they were received by William, and they have since given their impressions of the reception.
 First they were instructed how to behave. Speak to his majesty just as the words come" said the marshal. Address him in accordance with his exalted position, and kindly make very, very low bow"
 After being admitted to the house, William and an officer appeared in the hall. One of the students de- scribes William as having naughty eyes are nervous and a hard, pale grey in color. He has striking grey eyebrows. Lines of age furrow his brow, and his mouth seems extraor- dinarily sensuous. His beard and moustache have turned grey, and his complexion is unhealthy
 William wore grey-green field cape and a green sporting hat. The student thought that civilian dress made him appear bourgeois. His manner of address was sharp and Prussian. , Williams foibls of omniscience ap. peared at once in his conversation, and he started right in. So you arc going to offer us mystery plays? They I are, of course, the plays that reached l such f1ourishing condition among the ancient Greeks"
 Then the former monarch proceed ed to give a history of these plays down to modern times. The marshal whispered delightedly to the student: The kaiser knows everything"
 In the evening the student actors played "The Dance of Death" and the lyrical Paradise Play" Princess Hermine, Williams wife, was greatly .aken by the plays and as she came on the stage to thank the players, she You must come again. Here one perishes intellectually. It is seldom that anything of value is of- cred to iis."

NEW BRITAIN BOYS
 AT NIANTIC CAMP
Mihtiamen Going Through Faces
 During Week of Training

Halt. Who's there?" Friend
 Advance, Friend, and be recognized.' ?
 This is the greeting a visitor receives
 these days upon approaching Camp
 Templeton at Mantle. where the out
 fits of the 169th regiment, c. N. G.,
 are holding their annual field maneu-
 vers. Among them are the boys from
 New Britain who make up Company
 H, and the following letter from one of the members who has found few q moments to let the folks home know
 what is going on. will give New Brit
 ainites an insight into camp life as
 the boys in khaki are seeing it today.
 The list of calls answered during the weekdays shows that the soldiers have little, time for anything besides work. They are as follows! 5:30 a.. m., first call for reveille; $40, march and reveille; 545. assembly; 6:lb, mess call, breakfast, mush, corn willie and iodine; 6:30, sick call, co pills; FOO, assembly; 10:45, stables; 11:5o, officers and first sergeants' calls: 12:00, mess call, dinner, slum gullion and rice pudding with onions; 12:6O D. m., first call for drill; 1900, as- sembly; 400, recall; 4:15, first call for guard mount; 4:25, assembly; 500, retreat: b:30. mess call, supper, beans and soup; s:S0, tattoo; lo:4e' call to quarters, and 11:0o, taps.
 The boys of Co. H are feeling inc and are drilling in tip top shape as If they were old-timers. During en- campment, they have been put through the paces so that when they come home they will be big help to their mothers They have learned to wash their own clothes and are scrub bing their own dishes every day.
 Saturday was busy day. We had inspection of quarters, machine guns. erecting up tents. Saturday after noon was wash day. Clothes were scrubbed, shoes were shined in pre- paration for the onrush of sweet hearts who spent the weekend at the camp. r
 Our informant says that on Sunday, the boys surely thought that they were home. They all went to church, just as they all do at home. For din- ner they had a royal feast, chicken, mashed potatoes, green peas, ~eake, ! pie, bread and butter, coffee and ice cream. The last must be an innova- lion in the army.
 Strangest of all, when the bugle | blows in the morning, the boys tumble put of bed just like they don't do at home and in short space of time they are ready to go out on drill. They are headed by Captain E. P. Dunne, and the famous band which s headed by Frank Coscino, Stanley zukowski and Frank Flis, the com pany marches out to the drill field 'inging "Yes, We Have No Bananas" Ind "Hail, Hail, the Gangs All Here."t

BARS RADIO IN DEATH HOUSE
State Superintendent of Prisons For
 hidS Installation

Ossining, July 31.-James L. Long. deputy superintendent of State Pris- ons who was at Sing Sing today, an- nounced that no radio is to be permit ted in the death house to entertain the nineteen murderers there.
 This is the first official statement definitely settling whether the radio presented by the Salvation Army for the condemned slayers would be in- stalled. Several Sing Sing attaches were strongly opposed to the idea, They pointed out that, with cold blooded murders like the shooting of Patrolmen Charles Reynolds and Frank Romanelli in Manhattan going on outside, the impression should not be given to the criminal class that life in the death house awaiting execution is enjoyable.

i Central High School and coached
for debates to be held on the Same
day with two teams from the Harris
burg Central High School, one local
team going to Harrisburg and one
remaining here to meet the foe on the
home ground.
The team sent to Harrisburg was
made up of the best debating mate
rial among the many clever girls of
the senior class. Margaret Somer-
Vile led it as captaiEably supported
Dorothy Enyon. But alas, they lost
to the Harrisburg girls.
However, when the Pennsylvania
girls selected for the team to como
to Washington met the Central jun
iors they met defeat. The Juniors
also won laurels for her reading OF
the role of Viola in the schools re-
cent production Of Shakespeare's

tyre.
The question was Resolved. That

be something in that old saying. "a

team to Harrisburg set a precedent
broadening effect on girls debates for
the future. and all Centralites afo
very proud Of their valiant though de-.
feated team.
