THE EMPEROR OF GERMANY AND THE WAR.
According to a German weekly paper, whose representative had had an interview with a Court official, the Kaiser follows the course of the war with the closest attention. Every evening the Emperor receives a gathering of military chiefs, and the pros and cons of strategy and tactics are discussed at great length and with much energy, the positions being practically illustrated with elaborate wooden models representing the towns, entrenchments, and the nature of the country, so far as those are known. The Kaiser is stated to haye been surprised and disgusted at the reckless manner in which the earlier stages of the war were conducted upon our side. "The English forget," he said (according to this gossip), " that personal valour is now only an auxiliary in warfare. Modern battles are won by brains."
