Kaiser Owns United States PROPERTY. I

"s'ss' V""s VmlVu SsdlsS ItUpUIly.
Ten million dollars worth of
United States stock are owned
Nv the Kaiser and members of
his &Mly and may be confisca.
led by The United States Govern
ment in case of war.
Fact, just made public indi-
cate Wilhelm's concern ever re-
affirmation OF treaties guaran-
teeing Germans personal prop.
erty against seizure may have
been caused by personal rather
than national reasons.
The Kaiser is one of the great
est American property owners.
He had a fancy for railway secu.
rites. When the war begun he is
said to have possessed $4,000
600 in stocks and bonds of the
Santa Fe, Union and Southern
Pacific, and other Western lines.
These shares were held in the
name OF the dummies or German
brokerage houses in New York.
The Kaiserin herself holds half
a million in American securities.
Prince Henry while in this coun-
try is said to have made invest
ments for himself totaling sever.
al millions.
There is evidence that the a.
gents OF the Kaiser have made
s t ock market cleanups on
strength of advance information
from Berlin.
The Kaiser is said to have
large land holdings in America,
much more valuable now than
when bought twenty years ago.
He is part owner OF the North
Lloyd and Hamburg-American
Lines which have 500, 100000 in
ships tied up in American ports.
Without these ships re-establish.
ment OF German commerce after
the war would be hampered.
The Kaiseris tho majority own
er of a silk mill in Patterson, N.
j., which by the way, was shown
by the commission on indurtrial
relations to pay the lowest wa
ges, and compel the worst work
ing conditions in that district.
AS a stockholder in a Chicago
Packing Company the Kaiser is
reputed to have piled up wealth
at the expense of the Allies and
the American public.
1t is rumored the Federal Gov.
ernment Is investigating the ex-
tent of Wilhelm's holdings with
the idea that if the government
should not cOnfiscate property OF
individual German citizens, ex.
ception should be made in the kai
ser's case on the ground that his
autocratic relations to the gov
ernment make his holdings, in ef-
feet, the property Of the German
State.
This property, if confiscated,
would he converted into the Uni
ted lStates Federal Treasury
