William HOhenzOllern, the former
emperor of Germany, who began the
world war, and who abdicated when
he was convinced that Germany must
surrender to the victorious allies, has
arrived in Holland, and is now at the
town of Destieg, near Utretch. where
he hopes to escape further punish
ment at the hands of the nations he
has SO grievously wronged.
Desteeg is on the Guelders Ysscl, an
arm of the Rhine river, about forty
miles east of Utrecht and twelve miles
from the German border. The chateau
Middachten, to which the former en-
perOr is reported to be proceeding, be-
longs to Count William Frederick
Charles Henry Won Bentinck. He is a
member Of the Prussian guards, and
before the war was attached to the
German embassy in London and a
member of the English Turf and Royal
Automobile clubs. He is 3S years old.
He belongs to the famous Anglo-Dutch-
German house Of Bentinck, the con-
tinental branch of the family of the
Duke Of Portland.
Middachten castle dates back to the
year 1897.
The former German emperor's party,
which is believed to include Field Mar
shall Won Hindenburg, arrived at Eys-
den, on the Dutch frontier, at 1880
O'Clock Sunday morning, according to
Daily Mail advices.
Practically the whole German gen
eral staff accompanied the former EN-.
peror; and ten automobiles carried the
party. The automobiles were bristling
with rifles, and all the fugitives were
armed.
The ex-kaiser was in uniform. He
alighted at the Eysden station and
paced the platform, smoking Gig
arctic.
Eysden lies about midway between
Liege and Manstaict, on the Dutch
border.
Chatting with the members of the
staff. the former emperor, the CORE
spondent says, did not look in the
least distressed. A few minutes later
an imperial train, including restaur.
ant and sleeping cars, ran into the
station. Only servants were aboard.
A London dispatch announced that
members of the, battleship Kaiser. at

cred and two Of them, including the
commander, were wounded, according
to the Cologne Gazette.

AND HAIL
HAMPER TRAFFIC
Additional Engine Sent with West Riv-
er Train-Prospect for Resumption
of Mail Service Poor.

Hail and snow which have fallen to-
day to the depth of about four inches
may upset the plans for a resumption of
mail service by train Monday on the
West River railroad. For a large part
OF the forenoon fine hail fell, which is
much worse than snow in impeding rail
road traffic, as when it is moved bv the
fianges of the car wheels it immediately
rolls back III the way.
Reports from stations up the West
River line this morning at 10 o'clock
was that conditions were bad, so an
additional locomotive and the scraper
car were sent along with the passenger
coach. If the train gets through and
returns this afternoon the plan is to
send 1t back over the line tonight.
Snow has fallen continuously this aft
ernoon, driven by wind from the south,
and the prospect is not very encouraging
for any kind Of traffic Should the snow
turn to rain and then freeze there
would not be much prospect of opening
up the West River line much before
Easter.
All trains are delayed. and the street
railroad, which ran fairly close to
schedule this morning is finding it
difficult this afternoon to keep the cars
running.
