WIERINGEN CHILDREN
 TUTORED GROWN PRINCE
Tots of Dutch Fishermen Were the Chief Companions and Friends
 of William of Germany.

Wieringen, Holland. Jan. 11.---Chil- dren of the fishermen of the island of Wieringrn were the chief comp nions of ex-crown Prince William. of Ger many. during his stay here after the revolution. When the former prince was not making ,orscshoes. one of his faVorite forms of exercise or read ing, he was strolling about the fields or along the wrahfs with his pals, the youngsters. It was from the children. chiefly. that William learned to speak Dutch fluently.
 My best helpers in picking up the language were the children Of the fishermen" the ex-prince said just be- fore his departure to join his family at his castle at Oels. Silesia. The children were. not shy like the old folks, some of whom often were awed by my presence. and just as natural as could be I played with the boys and girls, held the little ones some times On my knee, drew for them pictures of animals. and houses and trees and even sSetchcd some of the most pie turesque children themselves and gave them the results of my drawings.
 By association with the children. learned the language better and easier than if l had devoted all my time to studying books and papers. The brain of a normal youngster is the most curious thing fin the world. The best system for an adult to learn another language is to talk regularly with children about nature and about books and pictures, Children just naturally are interested in everything

BODYGUARD OF KINGS
 SEEKS JOB IN HOQUIAM
Personal Attendant to Emperor Will liam of Germany for Eight Years
 Out of Employment.

Hoauiam. Washington. Jan. it, man who acted as personal body guard to former Emperor William for eight years, according to his ereden- tials, is at present in Hoquiam look ing for a job. His name is William Huwe, and he says that five of his brothers were on the German firing line during the war, two being killed. But William Huwe's wartime duties took him no nearer than 25 miles from the front. he said, the emperor having viewed the hostilities from that es.
 Huwe was educated in the best mill itary schools of Germany and is mas ter of most European languages. He is reticent concerning his experiences while in the kaiser's employ except for a statement that 'the kaiser was a military ruler and his assassination was the desire of all the radicals of Germany as well as of other countries he visited"
 Polling the plots of such persons Was a part of Huwe's duties as Will helms bodyguard. He became body guard to the kaiser in 1910. and from that time until the abdicated ruler fled across the Netherlands border he was his constant attendant. He stood in the receiving line at state func- tions, accompanied the kaiser on state progresses and excursions was with the imperial master aboard the royal yachts on visits to European ports, and was his companion on his hunts through the German forests.

Rubbish AbOunds as the
 Street Cleaners Loaf

Berlin. Jan. 11.--Time was when the streets of Berlin were kept spot lessly clean. that was before the war when the municipality maintained a street cleaning force of 2.400 men. Now this group of street cleaners numbers under 800, and the result is visible on all sides. Litter and rub bish abound.
 During the war. when most of the able-bodied men were at the front, civic pride continued among the citi- zens and several of the principal streets were kept clean by volunteers, many of them women. But under present circumstances, with the mark jumping about and housewives com pelled to stand in line every day for hours for the mere necessities of the table, civic pride has disappeared There have been no volunteers for street cleaning for many months even trough thousands of men loaf about Berlin.
