On a number of aubaennent o/voalnnu abnclc. "That's good I" he commented. "The Germans are too fut, anyway. The majority of the people eat too much." Long after automohlllng became more or less general, the kaiser still employed a horse and carriage for ordinary travel, relying upon his free use of the railways for longer distances. When, however, the relchstag passed a law compelling royalty to pay for their railroad travel, the kaiser took to automobiles. They charged him 11,000 nairks, he told me, for the Use of a train on one of his shooting trips, and that apparently wus more 9* than he could stand. ^ "Autos are expensive," he declared, "but they don't cost me that much!" The kaiser speaks English with but the slightest trace of a foreign accent. ^ His diction is perfect. He speaks Frenoli, too, very fluently, and, I believe, Italian. Ho is widely read on almost all subjects and knows the literature of England, France and America as well as that of Germany. Mark Twain was one of his favorite American nuthors and Longfellow his choice of Anirtlrtin poets. He prides himself on his acquaintance with history and has little respect for the political opinions of others whose knowledge of history Is less complete. Shortly after Carnegie hnd donated five million marks to Germany to further world-peace* I Impugned to bo uniting 10 me Kaiser or American mil- ' lloualros and the ateelmnster wait, mentioned. "Of c<iurse, CilWegle is n nice old i man and menus well," remarked the kaiser, condescendingly, "but he Is totally ignorant of world history. He's J? just advanced us five million for & . world-peace. We accepted it naturally, .t> but, of course, we Intend to continue our policy of maintaining our army and , navy in fuli strength." ? Indeed, there is liurdly any subject " y vJto which the kaiser has devoted uny VL ^considerable attention In which he doesn't regard hluiself as the flnul au Sk thorlty.

These overpayments never amounted to very much, hut they Impressed mo because they were so out of keeping / with the stinginess the kaiser displayed In other directions. From time to time the kaiser sent , or brought tne autographed pictures of himself or others. At the time of the one hundredth anniversary of Frederick the (Jrent, he gave me a picture of that monarch. On another occasion, he presented nie with a group picture L . of h!ms< .f sui rounded hy Ills 'family y and dogs.

It showed the kalserln and himself In a sort of clodd floating ahove a blrdseye view of Berlin, with the ' palace and the cathedral dimly seen below. IT "I don't know Jnst what this master^ piece was meant to signify, but I had It framed and placed It In my office.
