SAYS EX-KAISER BEARS TROUBLE LIKE CHRISTIAN.

Berlin, July 22.—An intimate view of the former German emperor is given by Frederick von Berg, who wa schief of the former emperor’s civil cabinet, writing in the Aufrechte. Herr von Berg was at Amerongen when the German national assembly accepted the peace treaty. “It was a terribly melancholy and moving meeting,” he wrote, “and yet it was a great joy to see the kaiser was not a broken man. It is true his features have become sharp •but he bears his lot like a real Christian, quietly and with dignity, the fatherland's fate weighing more heavily upon him than does his own. Hours of bitterness come also, but they are overcome in calm, quiet discussion and good feeling and ever the quiet cheerfulness of an earnest man constantly reappears. “Not one complaint was uttered when it became known the ignominous extradition clauses were accepted. There were only quiet words of comfort for the empress, that wonderful, unselfish woman, who also bears her suffering like a crown and whose shaken health threatens to collapse under this fresh blow.”
