FORMER KAISER
MAY 60 To- HIS
VILLA IN CORFU
William Hohenzo|Iern Said to
Be DESTROYS Of Lying
Permanently on Medi-
terranean Isle.

London Nov. 13.-The deposed
German emperor probably will re-
main only short time at the castle
Of Amerongen, in Holland, accord-
ing to we'll informed Dutch circles.
The correspondent at Amsterdam
of the Daily Mail says it is believed
that if the necessary arrangements
can be made the former emperor
will reside permanently in the villa
of Achilleion, on the island of Corfu.
The villa Achilleoin on the island
of Corfu, which lies off the south
western coast of Albania, was ac-
quired by the former German en-
peror in 1907 after the death of En-
press Elizabeth of Austria, for
whom it was built in 1890 SO far
as known the villa of Achilleoin,
which has been the headquarters of
the Serbians, still is under occupa-
ton by the allies.
Explains His Flight.
A published statement, which the
former German emperor wishes to
be regarded as his reason for going
to Holland, says that the journey
was not a flight, according to an
Amsterdam dispatch to the Daily
Telegraph. His departure from Ger
many was, actuated by a desire to
facilitate the work of the new gov
ernment, by ridding them of any en-
barrassment his presence in Ger
many might cause, such as an at
tempt to make him the center of
royalist agitation.
4 dispatch to the Daily Mail from
Maarn, Holland, says that among
those who accompanied the former
German emperor to the castle of
Amerongen were Generals Won
Pleshen, Won Gontard, Won Franki-
berg, Won Lintoff md Won Grim
man.
After the arrival of the party, Gen
eral Omen, of the Dutch army,
asked all the members to give pa
role.
Takes Walk; Goes Motoring.
London, Nov. ia dispatch to
the Central News from Amsterdam
says William Hohenzollern, the for
mer German, emperor, took walk
this morning, accompanied BY Of
ficers. Later he went motoring, fol-
lowed by a. car containing Dutch
officials. .
The correspondent says the ex-
emperor appears to have resigned
himself to his new life.
Two enormous motor lorries ar
rived today with the Hohenzollern
baggage, which consisted of a large
number of trunks and cases.

DR.. SOLF'S PLEA
LIKELY TO Be
TURNED down
Preliminary Peace Negotia'
tions Regarded Unnecessary
at Washington; Wilson
= May Attend Meeting.

! Washington, Nov. 15.-President
Wilson was said today to have given
no indication how he regards the
suggestion from high sources in
Europe that he attend the great con-
ference which is to re-establish the
peace of a wartorn world.
Most of the presidents advisers,
however, are understood to consider
that acceptance of the invitations
would involve needless risk and
would serve no purpose that could
not be accomplished through the
delegates who will be appointed to
represent the American government
and who will be in constant COM
munication with Washington.
Should the president decide to
attend the conference-and some of
those usually we'll informed say he
has an open mind on the subject
that fact would not mean, in the
belief here, that Secretary Lansing
would not be a member of the Am
erican delegation. 1t was said that
upon Mr.. Lansing would fall much
of the weight of theh heavy tasks
connected with American participa-
tion in the conference, not only by
virtue of his high rank, buts also
because of his wide experience in
other international conferences and
arbitrations.
Solf's Purpose Detected. -.
The proposal of DR.. Solf, the Ger
man foreign secretary, for a pre-
iininary peace conference has. not
reached Washington in official form
tonight, but it is understood there
IS little probability of its acceptance.
