 The next day German troops in vaded France.
 Today the man who was accused of plunging the world into battle sits on a knoll of his 50-acre estate here, absorbed in roses.
 once attended by generals anj ministers, today he is accompanied by a soft-eyed dachshund.
 Mustache Bristles No More
 Tie bristling mustache to which he gave his name is gray. It bris- ties no more but it's tips still point skyward. A gray beard covers his nce-arrogant chin His stern face has softened, grown more angular
 The world was at his throat when the abdicated monarch fled to Hol- land 19 years ago. He found shel- ter with friends and Holland pro- tected him. In 1920 he bought his 50-acre domain in Doorn.
 Seventeen years have drowned the hatred. Now, at 78, the ex-Kaiser seems handsome gentleman of the old school His personal sor- rows-the suicide of his youngest son, Prince Joachim, soon after the war, the death of the former Kais- erin in 1921-have been forgotten. He sits amid his roses courteous ly acknowledging respectful salutes from promenaders

His conSort the business-like Kaiserin Hermine whom he married in 1922, went t9 supervise her properties in Ger many None of the children of her former marriage were there when an Associated Press correspondent visited Doorn recently.
 At one side of the ex-Kaiser's rosarium is a slight eminence. AL though the garden is open to those of the public who get tickets of admission from the stern-visaged Dutch gendarme at the guard- house, the knoll is chained off and marked private.
 On a white seat at the top of the slope, in front of an evergreen hedge, the ex-monarch sits and ad- mires his roses, daschund by his side.

TWO OF A KIND,
 TWO MILES HIGH

Two pilots, at tine controls of two engines, during two hours directed one of the two Pacific Alaska Air ways Electras along route two miles high over two continents, and two nations, in two hemispheres on the flight taken Monday out of Nome by the special plane party of Federal and airline officials who yesterday arrived back at Juneau to complete a flying circuit of Alaska
 Howard J. Thompson, Juneau weather director. one of two wealth CT department officials aboard the plane, was the chronicler of the "twos." The big plane also roared over two Islands (the Big and Little Diomedes), over two oceans, in two zones temperate and frigid, over two capes (East Cape, Siberia, and Cape Prince of Wales) and through two days, going from August 9 to August 10 and back again as it twice crossed the International Date Line.
 Double e. nothing, it was a dou- bly, enjoyable flight, MT. Thompson declared here this morning, both a fine trip and perfect weather, that allowed us to see along both shores of the Boring Strait, and one that enabled the officials in the plane to see just what Alaska really needs to develop it's aviation. I am sure that real progress for AL aska will come from roots laid by the aerial journey, MT. Thompson stated.

t1cient to arouse our so-called civilized

still worse, unless it shall act as its

by its failure to do so, show itself unfit
