The former Ger man Emperor William while at the German great headquarters in Charleville, France, in the world war. surrounded himself with an army of lackeys, changed his uni form several times a day and had a strong objection to any but silk socks, according to a description of his conduct there by the editor of the Charleville Journal.. The editor, M. Domelier, has just publish ed an account of the former emi>er- or’s conduct at Charleville. He says "Everything he wore was intend ed to attain the greatest effect. Ac cording to the example of Napoleon he slept in a simple field bed, which, however, did not stand under a tent but in a wonderful villa which had every Imaginable protection against airplanes. "His fear of fliers was so great that he constantly changed his steep ing place and created a regular steel safe in which to sleep. Tn April, 1915, five bombs fell in the neighborhood of the imperial villa, and at another time the court train was attacked. the kaiser’s chief engineer, a cook and several court officials were kill ed. In the garden of the kaiser's villa there was an electrically light ed dugout with a capacity of 30 men. "Unlike his sons the kaiser's meals were simple. His lunch consisted of some roast or cold meat, and a de sert. Only on his birthday was there a 'better meal, such as caviar and late de foil. gras, roast, rice, fruits, omelette, and choice wine. Ho us ually drank beer or a light Moselle wine. “By tearing down some of the walls of the villa, the kaiser had a wonderful bathroom constructed. Three of the big trees in the neigh borhood he chopped down himself and distributed the wood to the poor families of Charleville. The inhab itants showed no appreciation for his kindness. They asserted that he was trying to gain their sympathies without paying a pfennig. The wom en «»xpelled from Lille for compul- scry work he permitted to do agri cultural work.”
