Despite his sometimes queer do-
ings Kaiser William is no faddist and
his most trivial moves in affairs of
state if followed to their source lead
to the fountain head of his policy—
the army first, last and always.
Since the day of Joan of Arc the
sight of a woman on horseback u
the full panoply of war has been
sufficient to arouse enthusiasm in
the most phlegmatic soldiery and
¿o stir the latent loyalty of peace­
ful citizenship. So it is not improb­
able that there is method in his ap­
pointment of women to military
posts. Whom the kaiser loves he
first makes colonel has become the
popular parody of an ancient saw.
and describes aptly enongh his pol-
Icy of dispensing royal favors among
women. Time was when a post of
honor in the imperial household or
a jeweled order was the feminine
badge of favor. To-day it is a com­
mission in the German army, with
its glittering accompaniment of full
uniform, says a London paper.
At the very head of the military
women stands the empress herself.
No more popular officer is there in
all the German army than Augusta
Victoria, and familiar as is her ap­
pearance at the head of the famous
Pasewak curaissiers, she never fails
t<» receive an ovation at the hands
of the loyal Berliners.
When she
leads her regiment in review before
her war lord, the kaiser, she wears
white with red facings, the scarf of
the Order of Hohenzollern and a
three-cornered hat, with large droop­
ing heron’s plumes. Until recently
Grand Duchess Victoria Milita of
Hesse shared military honors and
popularity with the einpress. Per­
haps the most enthusiastic of all the
lady colonels, she coni^janded by
title the noted One Hundred and Sev­
enteenth infantry regiment.
Nor
did she allow the acting colonel to
rob her of her duties and privileges.
She was seen almost daily on tre
parade ground w'ben her regiment
was at work, Then came her di-
vorce from her husband, when the
kaiser signified his disapproval of
her conduct by depriving her of her
regimentals and her monograms and
arms were removed from the regi­
ment’s epaulettes. But the with­
drawal of royal favor has not taken
• way her popularity. She is not only
a magnificent ridei. but an accom­
plished whip, and her appearance at
the Frankfort r«ces on Sunday aft­
ernoons invariably causes a demon­
stration.
Other women of royal blood who
have been honored thus by the kaiser
are the Empress Alexander, of Rusiia,

• Though there are innumerable lady
colonels only two women in the world
may wear the three-cornered chapeau
and the four stars and stripes of an
admiral. These are the Dowager Em­
press Dagmar, of Ruaaua. and Queen
Olga, of Greece, who owe their honors
to the late czar. The Empress Dagmar
is an admiral in the Russian navy,
while Queen Olga ia attached to the
Russian MetiterraDean squadron. The
latter, who is passionately fond of the
sea, use« her yacht as often as otter
ladies call for their carriages, and she
has also passed the necessary exam­
inations to secure a sailing master’s
certificate. She often commands the
royal Greek B'cht, the Amphitrite,
arwl she is certainly better equipped
for the rank of admiral than many of
her sister sovereigns are qualified fo^
their military duties.
