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

TARIS. March 14. (Sport a!.) A curious
disrovery has been made here In a pair
of slays. The wife of a sinner having
tliod in thHr housa in Paris, the widower

had been very ohligtnir. A few days since
the worthy woman, having need of a cor
net, rummapfd among those effects and
found one that wan nearly new, but, as
it did not quite fit her. she handed it
to a staymaker who is a friend of hers,
for alteration.
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.
