Kaiser Has Narrow Escape
From Being Killed at Verdun
When Auto Is DESTROYED

London, April 12. A dispatch
from Rome to the Daily Telegraph
says:
Reports from Berlin received by
way of Switzerland state that the
Kaiser is now at Potsdam, where he
receives no one but members of his
family and a few official personages.
When before Verdun the Kaiser had
narrow escape from being killed by
French bomb, which exploded near
him, killing several officers and de-
stroying the imperial motor car.
A German communique announced
that the emperor was unhurt. His
unexpected departure for Potsdam,
however. and tho mystery with which
he surrounds himself leads tc .he sup
position that the Kaiser was struck
by a fragment of shell or that the
explosion has dangerously affected his
nervous system.
