Newspaper Page TextTHE SUNDAY OREGOSIAX, PORTLAND, MARCH 13, 190S, 5 KAISER WOULD BE AMERICAN GOLQNEL Or Else Honorary Admiral in American Navy Would Like Both. WANTS ANOTHER UNIFORM Has One Already of Must European Countries Imperial Wardrobe a Department of State Makes About Ten Changes Daily. - BERLIN, March 7. Emperor Wil liam's fondest ambition Is to be made at least a Colonel of a reeiment in th American Army or an honorary Admiral in the United States Navy or noin. He i a Field Marshal in the Aus trian and British armies, a Captain General in the army of Spain, the chief of three Russian regiments. Including the Imperial Bodyguard; a Colonel of a Portuguese regiment of cavalry, an honorary Admiral of the fleet in the British. RussiRn and Greek navies, and an honorary Admiral in the navies of Sweden, Norway and Denmark. More than once he has told the American military attaches here that he considers the American uniform the happiest combination of the pictur esque and the practical he knows of. And he knows all about it, for he has made the uniforms of all countries a study. Wardrobe Mostly Uniforms. No ' other Kuropean ruler, probably no other man on earth, has so exten sive a wardrobe as the German Km peror. and the great bulk of his clothes are military uniforms. He Is seldom seen In high hat and frock coat. Some of his intimate friends have never eeen him In civilian dress. In preference to all other uniforms be wears that of the First Regiment of Foot Guards, especially at solemn parades and his birthday festivities. Jn Summer he often wears the hand some uniform of the Boy Hussars and the Danzig Regiment, because of the light white trousers. Poring the army maneuvers and other field services, he dons the uni form of the Breslau Cuirassiers and the Posen Cavalry Jagers. .with their green coats and steel helmets, and on his frequent visits to Hanover the uni form of the Royal Uhlans. When he vtslts seaside towns or attends launch It of battleships he puts on a naval uniform. Changes Ten Times a Day. Few m 4i pay so much attention to their appearance as Emperor William. One would have thought that he is above the vanities of the fop, but as a matter of fact, he pays the strictest attention to every detail of his per sonal appearance, and 'his valets have a bnd time should anything go wrong with his clothes. His average number of changes a day is said to be 10. A moderate computation places the value of his uniforms for use in Ger many at InOO.OOO. The number of per sons looking after his clothes Is 12, and this inly includes the clerks of the Imperial clothes closets and the cleansers. The tailors number prob ably a score, and have a suite of rooms to themselves. Has Uniforms in Duplicate. It is practically a department of state. An the Emperor is constantly making alterations in the uniforms of his army and navy, a watchful eye must, be kept on his own uniforms to see that his desires are put Into force. Kvery uniform of importance must be supplied in duplicate, so that If any thing happens to one he has the other to fall back on. He Is the Colonel of 10 German regi ments: Prussian, Saxon. Bavarian ami Wurtemhurgian. and his uniforms of thepe regiments are complete. A spe cial department of his wardrobe is de voted to his foreign uniforms. But his people evidently best like to see him In Hie homely togs of "a hardy Fftllor. The most popular picture in Berlin today Is "Unser Steuermann" (our pilot) representing the Emper or in the heavy-weather suit of the mariner. He is standing in a defiant attitude at the wheel, on which is In scribed "Deutsches Reich" (the Ger man Empire). The sea is stormy, but the pilot's face shows that he is confi dent of bringing the ship safely to port. BANK NOTES IN CORSET .Money Secreted In Unusual Hiding Place by "singer. TARIS. March 14.

The wife of a sinner having tliod in thHr housa in Paris, the widower pave all hor clothes to the concterxe. who had been very ohligtnir.

As it was being unpicked, two bank notes, each of JOOo. were found in the lining. They were promptly returned to the concierge, and then by her to the widower. SZECHENYIS IN .
