His feet on Ills desk, his window open to thw breezes of the morning, he heard the call. For an hour he sat amid the conflicting sounds of a great city hurrying about Its work. But his thoughts were miles away. His eyes were dreamy.. The spell of the wild was upon him. He wandered in fertile fields awaking to renewed life. He beheld lush with grass. He sat beside wide flowing rivers and tiny brooks whose waters rushed In foamy splendor from hilly heights above. He wandered to wooded slopes, with trees and wild flowers peeping from beneath dead leaves. A peace was his which seldom came la his workaday-existencIn the land of pavement and beehive dwellings.

No belligerent has shown more re sourcefulness than the Italians In demising novel means of offense and defense, says a writer In Wide World Magazine. The Italian army was the only one to enter the war with a trend helmet and a steel chest protector, and it Is now provided with a more effident b d.v shield than Is possessed by any -- other of the warring nations. Early in the war It was discovered by the Italians that many lives rould -- be saved in skirmishing at close quarters If the soldiers carril or pushed bags of sand In front of them, and the present body shield has been an outgrowth of that idea. and They are made in the n type. The former are worn by infantry advancing in the open, attached to the shoulders by a pair of light steel arms, and are long enough to protect the head and vital organs of a mem standing erect.

Mjr second reason for wanting to get out of Germany as soon as possible was the fact that food, conditions in Germany were becoming more precarious every day. Sly wife and I feared that . ortr child, who was two years old, might suffer from iack of proper nourishment If we remained and I determined that no matter how long It might be necessary for roe to remain In Berlin, my wife and child ttt any rate should leave at the earliest possible moment My third reason, however, was by ' far the most Insistent of all. I had become convinced that what I knew of the kaiser and bis plans, now (hat we were at war, ought to be communicated to America without delay and that the only way to do that adequately would be to get home as soon as I possibly could, no matter what personal sacrifice might be involved in abandoning my European practice and Interests. t It Is true that In the early years of my relationship with the kaiser our conversations naturally embraced only the most general but In Inter years, when he came to know me better, he cast aside all reserve and talked to me on whatever was uppermost in his mind at the time. After the war started that, of course, formed the principal subject of our discussions and the part that America was playing in the conflict was frequently brought up because of the fact that I was an American. One jnemorable interview I had had with him Influenced me perhaps more than any other Rfngie factor to hasten the settlement of my European affairs and return home. It was in the fall of 1916. The kaiser had come to me for professional attention, and after my work was completed he remained to discuss some of the aspects of the war. Perhaps the fact that I had just returned from a visit to America made him more than usually eager for a chat with me. We had discussed various phases of the war, when the kaiser changed the subject, abruptly with the question : "Darla, whats the matter with your country? "In what respect, your majesty?" I asked. "Why Is it that your country is so This somewhat unsatisfactory Inter-tewith Von Sturm might have wor- unfair to Germany?

"That, doctor, will depend entirely upon how America treats our subjects," he replied, somewhat more coldly than I had expected of hint. "If America interns Germans, of course, we shall undoubtedly treat Americans the same way, and you could hardly expect any special consideration, although, If you will Write a letter to the court chamberlain, who Is a personal friend of mine, I shall see that he gets It." "But, excellency, n I replied, "there Is a treaty between Germany and America, I understand, which gives the subjects or citizens of one country who happen to be sojourning in the other when war Is declared nine months within which to close up their affairs and leave. Would not that protect me? "Of course, doctor, he answered, Germany will respect the treaty If America does, and then there will be no trouble. It seems to me you must await developments and. In the meantime you have no cause for worry." "Suppose some of your subjects in America should act up and start blowing up bridges or munition fats tories and should be lynched, which they probably would be," I suggested, "what would Germanys course be?
