EMPI FOR
CHANGED
AMERONGEN, NETHERLANDS,
April 28— All who come into close
connection with the former German
Emperor these days are astonished at
the change which has come over his
behavior in relation to people wit.i
whom he is brought into contact. His
haughty manner has disappeared. Ho
no longer takes it for granted that Ko
is the supreme lord to whom alt mtnt
bow. Any service given to him, even
by the humblest of gardeners in the
employ of Count Bentinck, is rewarded
with apparently sincere thanks and
sometimes even with a genuine hand
shake- a tiling not looked for bv
the highest of his couriers when he
was still at the height of his power.
Virtually without exception, he pas
ses three hours every morning be
tween breakfast and lunch at his vol
untary task of sawing logs in the
grounds of the castle. The last ten
minutes of each hour is given up to a
spell of rest, during which the lumber
man, once so imperious, smokes n
light cigarette. In the course of this
interval heartily welcomed by his at
tendant who assists at the other end
of the double-handled saw now used.
William Hohenzoliern starts smoking,
for the attendants still retain enough
of their subjectivity not to dare to
take the lead. Then one of the attend
ants discreetly draws a cigarette ca.'C
from his pocket, on seeing which the
former Emperor often says, offering
his burning cigarette: “Here you are.
Take a light."
Soon all about him are smoking and
continue doing so until the ten minute
interval is over and work begins
again. Ofttimes in these short rests
the former Empress who, during the
work walks about in the castle
grounds when the weather is favorable
comes up to the place where the wood
sawing is done and a little general
chat ensues, both Herr Hohenzoliern
and his wife putting questions on all
sorts of subjects to those in atten
dance.
As a rule, the former Emperor h
extremely talkative. He dwells great
ly on happenings in Germany, both
past and present. Often he is in a
complaining mood, when he blames all
and sundry for what has occurred. It
does not seem to enter his mind that
any of the fault lies with him. At
these times he expresses sorrow for
the asperity of his utterances. On oth.
er occasionc- these are more rare —
he closes up like a clam and not a
word can be drawn from him.
He has everything he can possibly
require in the way of creature com
forts, but without actually being im
prisoned he is confined to a very small
area, for he has not dared since be
fore Christmas to put a foot outsid*
of the castle grounds, as he fears con
tact with the outside world.

EXPERTS TO COME NORTH
TO INVESTIGATE FISHING
Dr. Charles H. Gilbert, of Star.for 1
University, regarded as one of the
best authorities on salmon on the Pa
cific Coast and an authority frequent
ly consulted by both the American and
Canadian governments will leave for
Bristol Bay next month to begin a
systematic investigation of conditions
of the salmon industry in that part of
Alaska.
The Bristol Bay fisheries are the
most valuable in the north and the
government has asked Dr. Gilbert to
investigate future cultural possibili
ties. This involves a study of the run
and means that can be adopted to
keep up the supply.

reau of operations of the federal fish
eries bureau, who has just returned
to his headquarters in Seattle from a

were developed and supplied a large
part of the American market. It now
is an open question whether this mar
ket can be held for Alaska.
