a0HENzo1LERN GAME IS PUz'
 FILING THE ENTIRE WORLD

These are questions that allied Europe is asking IS details of the former kaiser's moves filter thru trcm Holland and Germany Il has been stated, from several sources that the kaiser considers himself temporarily interned" in Holland.
 Doubtless he is; because sooner O. later the allies are expected to put him on trial. But is that what he understands by temporary internment?"
 Europe Is wondering whether he seriously abdlcated, Or whether his aDdication was just an easy way of awaiting events" - namely, a chance to attempt comeback.
 Not that there's 8 chance of that either. The allies think that before many months have passed the kais- CT Is likely to want a home almost anywhere gave in Germany.
 But at any rate the German reVo- lutionists, especially near the bor- der, where they hear of his doings, are said to be extremely nervous over what he may have Up his sleeve,
 They don't lkie the wey he struts about Holland, not only in civilian clothes such as & back-numbeT should wear, but also in full official l sSslia. Why does he parade in uniform if he considres himself plain "Citizen' HohenDollern?
 Holland dispatches say Wilhelm's attitude is that his future will "de- pend on events"
 Allied Europe doesn't like that spirit. Demands are being renewed for swifter action toward the for nation of a grand court Of the al- lies to decide his future" for him.
 The British section of the court is laready in existence-busy on in Yestigations ana assembling Of evil dence.
 It is possibel that the ex-kaiser may get his wish eff he wants to so back to Germany at the hands O. the grand court.
 One section of Allied opinion leans to the belief that he should be tried by the allies, that the ollies should make known to the world every step in his crimes, sen tence him and then turn him over to the Germany people for carrying out the pronounced sentence. Ad- yocates of such a plan say 1t would prevent any martyr busi- ness" and they think that Iby that time the Germans would pcoably csrrv out any sentence imposed with fervor.
 Detailed stories from Germany as to scenes at Spa when the armistice terms were received, may throw further light On the kaiser's de- cision to abdicate.
 He is said to have read the terms and raved. HindenDurg advised i'm mediate acceptance and the kaiser "Never!" Then he
 
 charged his mind, but abused Hin denurg for not telling him Of the seriousness of the situation.
 And it was after the decision to accept the armistice, according to the reports, that he decided On the trip to Holland to get temporarily interned." It may be recalled that he took no official leave of the army or the people. But the rapid ity Of the revolutionary movement at that time may have had some thing to do with the speed with which he got over the border
