THE KAISER DIFFICULT TO GUARD
Berlin, May 18. That the police of Berlin may be the better able to attend to the Kaiser's personal safety, it has now been arranged that they are to know fully an hour before the Kaiser drives out the exact time when the horses are ordered. Then every available man is on the streets through which it is likely that His Majesty will pass. But it often happens that the Kaiser, after ordering his carriage, keeps it waiting for an honr, and perhaps at the last moment gives orders to drive through streets in which the police least expect him. He has given orders that the police along his route are never to salute him or look at him. They are to face the direction from which his carriage is coming, but they are to watch the crowds, not the Kaiser. Further instructions have been given to place a greater number of policemen in plain clothes along the Kaiser’s route. These are to mix with the crowd and listen to conversation, casual remarks, etc. On railway journeys the precautions are to be redoubled. The public are to be rigorously excluded from railway stations during the passage of the imperial train. The guards in the Schloss have been doubled. The Kaiser looks anything but well.
