Schneider thinks as much of Rubens as I do so we did not spend much 
time there. We went by the chapel where the late kai serin is en- 
tombed. It is a shapely little Greek temple sort of structure, with 
a low dome for roof. Jrauliin 3 said that the entire chapel was 
covered with flowers when the kaiserin 1 s funeral took plaoe--rioh 
and poor, everyone sent offerings of flowers, jpraulein S seemed to 
think it quite touching, so I kept ray thoughts to myself— all this 
honor and devotion to a woman whose service to the nation had neen 
the production of 8 parasites for the German people to support. I 
asked Fraulein S if she thought the majority of the German people 
would like to have the kaiser hack. She said, no, not ;?ilhelm, den 
er hat fortgelauft (if I have spelled it right, ran away. ) But she 
said the Berliners had always had a ffettfft, coming to the city ay 
freouent intervals— they wanted a ?uerst. She did not mention any 
person they %7anted-~ I suppose they feel lost without someone to 
hurrah for. "e had lunch at the Millie restaurant. There is an old 
mill in the -round's, much the best looking building there— but aston 
ishing out of keeping with the wholething. The story is that Freder 
ick wanted to buy the mill and tear it down, to add the ground to hi 
rarden. The miller refused to sell. The king threatened to take it 
and the miller answered if he did he would take the case before the 
court in Berlin, even the king could not break the law and go free. 
So the mill stands as a monument to the majesty of the law— as a 
monument to the splendid courage of the miller, I'd say. The res- 
taurant is the private property of the kaiser— is £et , so Praulein 
3 said. Tuesday we went to the national Gallery and saw more Ku- 
bens, but some fine pictures, also, especially the modern ones. We 
visited the palace also, which is now open to the public. People a 
are conducted in small parties through the rooms, somewhat as they 
are at Mount Yemen . 1 could not understand all the guide said.
