The Kaiser's Little Kick

During his last visit to England Emperor William was much disappointed bocause the entire regiment of the Dragoon Guards, whose chief he is, was not brought over from Dublin to Aldershot to meet him. He went so f ar as to point out to his uncle, the prince of Wales, and afterward to the qucen herself, how on the continent it is the invariable practica to bring a regiment to greet its honorary color cl if he is a foreign royalty on a vinit to the court. When it was politely intimated to the Germán monarch that there would certainly have been an unpleasant discussion in the house of ccinmons upon the question of the enormous expense of removing the whole regiment from Ireland to Kngland merely for a few days and s-heer display, William II. remarked: "May be you are right," but he added that the noxt tima he would himself review the Dragoons at Dublin.
