CHAPTER ONE WHEN Louis XIVs architects designed ths lovely palac* at Versailles they succeeded in producing a building which has remained a marvel to all j discerning men. Frederick of Prussia. viewing the chiteau of Versailles, found it good and decided that only architecture of its style was fit to flatter his own magnificence. Th* result was that he built himself a number of palaces in the Versailles style, but. of course, they had to be bigger and better palaces. Where a Frenchman would have shuddered to add another six feet to the building lest it destroy the ex -uisite proportions, the Prussian king and his merry builder* added silty yards. The result: kolottall In all justice to Frederick's memory it must be stated that he was generous with his building* and built not for himself alone. To this misguided generosity we owe that terrific — that k>loi>al — building within a stone's throw of the great cathedral st Kbnigsberg in East Prussia which was designed to be the headquarters of his own beloved White Hussars. Time has mellowed this tremendous edifice, and, in any case, when one has travelled across Germany a* far as East Prussia, one is so prepared for it, the shock is less than it otherwise might have been Today much of the original splendor of this regimental headquarters is gone, for the White Hussars, essentially an aristocratic regiment, has long since been disbanded; the building which once housed all their hard won banners now flaunts nothing more distinguished than the swastika flag, since the place is now given over to a branch of Hitler’s "Strength Through Joy” movement. But once upon a time ... On a certain bitterly eold night, shortly after Christmas, 1900, while the old eity of Kbnigsberg lay beneath its mantle of snow, the vast dining hall, which was the officer's mess of the White Hussars, was warm and ablate with light Judged by its six*—it was almost two hundred feet long — th* mess room was impressive. Four great stone fireplaces biased, in each of which an ox could hav* been roast *d. Th* hug* painted ceiling was asprawl with naked ladies of ampl* proportions, all blue-eyed and fairhaired In the strictest Nordic tradition. This ceiling was supported at intervals by tremendous white stone pillars, their rounded sides engraved here and there with joined “F”s in imitation of th* interlaced "L"' of Louis. The great stone eowte of the ehim-ney-piece* flaunted huge oak shields on which were emblaxened the arms of Prussia, of Frederick, of th* regiment and... newest of them a1)... of Wilhelm 11, Kaiser and Emperor of ail Germany. Above th* immensely long table hung four crystal chandeliers, so large that had anyone of them fallen, it might hav* deprived the regiment of half its officer*. The wails w*r* covered with hug* tapestries depicting the Siegfried Saga and other heroic German legends. The First Royal Prussian Whit* Hussars was a most aristocratic regiment. No member of the mess but eould write a “von" or “tu" before his name, the great majority bor* th* title of "Graf," and th* solitary Baron among them was tolerated only because of his exceptional swordsmanship. The regiment had been raised In 1741 by Frederick th* Great himself. They were the First Royal regiment. This was a source of irritation to Wilhelm II but, all-power-ful as he was aad All-Highest a* he waa tailed, be had not dared suggest that th* regiment should ehang* it* title. Founded within a year of Frederick’s accession to th* throne, th* White Hussar* of Prussia had remained, “th* King's" regiment Indeed, th* first toast drunk on m*s* night* was not Dee Kaiser but Der Komg, th* King . . . Frederick! That was something els* Wilhelm waa said not to like. Th* officer* were invariably drawn from th* great landed house* of East Prussia; the regiment was aa exclusive aa waa one* the Brigade of Guards In England. On the night sf Dssanbw 2#,

thought survived In this part of Germany that the head mesaservant thought himself almost a von Greicher! Schweiber stepped back from the table to take one last quick survey of the whole thing. Suddenly his flesh crawled with absolute horror! Schweiber'* underlings had forgotten something. “Gott to Himm«/r* he exclaimed, th* sweat starting on his forehead, as he r**lised the enormity of the oversight on the part of other mess-servant*. Hastily making sure hia powdered wig waa on straight—he and hia fellows were dressed in th* white-and-blue uniforms of Frederick'* day—Undcr-Oflicer Schweiber walked with military pace* through th* door into the kitchen* and roared “Attention!" Th* mess-servant* straightened i Instantly, staring to their front, i “Swine-hounds!" roared Schweiber. "Must I, personally, put each thing In It* place?

urea. “At onc*l” bawled Schweiber. i "Jump to it you, and you and you! MOVE!" In two minute* the oversight had 1 been corrected. Beneath each hug* oak chair at the table there now stood a silver bucket bearing th* White Hussars’ coat-of-arm*. Over the lip of each bucket lay a larg* table napkin. Upon night* of high revelry they were in demand; th* officer who had wined too deeply had only to reach back with his heel* to bring the bucket forward; he could be sick in a manner befitting an officer and a gentleman. There was an old regimental saying wbieh ran, "A Whit* J/kssoc never stoop*." With a last glanee round to see

that the mess-aerva.ita were standing In their allotted places, UnderOfficer Sehweiber nodded to the three drummers who stood near the great double doors at one end of the room. InstanUy they beat a roll on the deep old-fashioned drums. The great doors were thrown open and the brilliant gathering of White Hussar officers waa seen in the ante-room. Big blond fellows, they seemed more than life siso in their splendid wbite-aad-gold uniforms. their high jackboots adding inches to their tremendous stature. Indeed, the shortest was 0-fost-lj the rest averaged anything between that and the tremendous length of Lieutenant Prins Mas of Wallenfels, who stood fl-feet-fl tn his boots! Under-Officer Sehweiber, staring rigidly to his front, managed to view (apparently through his earl) the officers sorting themselves out, for the order of precedence was da ripaur. Though they were both , lieutenants with no seniority bo--1 tween them, and though they were lifelong friends, the young Lieotenant Graf von Ritaon would have died rather than walk into the mesa ahead of Lieutenant. His Highness Prins Mas von Wallenfels. Ths same careful precedence waa observed by the captains and lastly by the majors, though Under-Officer Sehweiber eyed two of the latter nervously. It was an open secret that, in thia matter of precedences there was bad blood between two of the gentlemen owing to the fact that, while one undoubtedly could trace his ancestry further back than the other, hie title was that of a mere Graf to the other’s Prins, Very awkward, this, and calculated to lead some time to a dual, (To be continued) omasum to Menu Caere; eusnail w km lame fsewam M.
