MINISTER DISCOUNTS
ABDICATION STORY
Democracy Making Gains. Though.
Saws Won Reppard.

Chevalier w. L. F. c. Won Rappard,
Netherlands minister to this country,
does not believe the reports of the
Kaiser's abdication are based on fact.
No advices had been received at the
legation at a late hour to confirm
dispatches from Holland to the effect
that Kaiser wilhelm had abdicated
in favor of his son, Prince Joachim.
Minister Won Rappard stated that
from his knowledge of conditions in
Germany, he did not see how the re-
ported abdication could be true. He
added, however. that the sweep Of
democracy had been so great in the
last few months that ii was entirely
possible that the reports were true.
In commenting upon the embargo
imposed by the United States on ship
ment of supplies to neutral countries.
Minister Won Rappard declared he did
not anticipate any friction with this
government. He stated that to date
the most friendly relations had existed
between himself and those handling
shipments abroad, and that he did
not anticipate that the embargo would
be enforced to such an extent as to
embarrass Holland. While shipments
of grain were declared to be vital to
Holland. the minister said he did not
believe the United States had in view
the enforcement of any measure to-
the extent OF starving any neutral
country.
Minister Won Rappard stated that
all negotiations for foodstuffs between
his government and the United States
would be conducted through the lega-
tion, unless there should be some
change in the present plans Of the
country.

BUY KAISER'S HOUSE
IN SEARCH OF GOLD
Italians to Raise Palace Corner
Stone for Hidden Treasure.
By CAMILLo CIANFARRA.
International News Service stan
Correspondent.

SoAAeSPohuche
Rome. July IA resolution en-
powering Prince Colona, Mayor Of
Rome, to purchase back from Ger
many the Caffarelli Palace, has been
passed by the Municipal Council The
resolution was inspired by a desire to
clear the Capitoline Hill, on which
the palace stands, from every trace
of foreign interests. and, incidentally,
digout large quantity of Roman
gold still buried under the northwest
ern corner of the building.
The Caffarelli Palace is the last but
one of the historical palaces of the
Eternal City. still owned by a for
eign power. and was for many years
the home of the German Embassy.
The movement for the purchase by
the city of the Caffarelli Palace was
launched several months ago after a
leading German paper had practically
defied the Italian Government either
to seize II or confiscate ii. In plead
ing for the purchase of the palace,
Senator Lanciani, the archaeologist,
said that 1t was time to restore the
Capitolne Hill to its pristine state
and eliminate, as the Romans had
done, private dwellings from the
ground. The Cafrarelli Palace was
built on the ruins of the Temple of
Jupiter Optimus Maximus, the high
est deity of ancient Rome. Under the
northern corner of the palace is a
vast quantity of gold that was buried
by the Romans with the corner stone
OF the temple. Tacitus, in his Annals
of Rome. describes the laying of the
corner stone when, after a big fire,
Emperor Domitian decided to rebuild
the temple. A large crowd of patric-
ians. knights and many foreign per-
sonages then residing in Rome at
tended the function. Just before the
huge block of travertine was lowered
to its place the Roman matrons
threw into the excavation their jew
els. the patricians their gold coins
and bracelets and the knights their
gold spurs.

Kaiser stiII on Throne.

Thousands OF kroners. francs, shill-
ings and perhaps dollars were turned
over on the world stock markets on
the strength of this report But to-
night the Kaiser still sat firmly upon
his throne. though his surroundings
were considerably changed and are
still changing in the great Kaleidoscope
of democracy's grapple with junker-
ism.
There was every indication tonight
that the monarch by his alert handling
OF the situation bowling to his people S
will before 1t had ripened into menac-
ing moves, rendered his position NOR
ally even stronger than 1t was a week
ago. But from his erstwhile devoted
supporters, the junkers, comes a
threatening growI which may find
ominous echo in the army unless the
new regime is promptly consolidated
and the military high command is left
unimpaired in its authority.
There was little news from Vienna
today. The internal situation in the
Hapsburg dual monarchy is known to
be far more grave than that in Ger
many but II has not yet developed into
a national crisis. Now that the re-
form movement is sweeping ahead in
the kaisers realm, the agitation of
Emperor Charles and his foreign sec
retary, Count Czernin, is likely to turn
out a boomerang. Once the Austrian
and Hungarian parties have unloosed
their long suppressed belligerency
there is no end OF internal trouble in
sight, observers here believe, especial
ly now that the Galician capital is
once more seriously menaced.
