London, Dec. 23.-William Hohen-
zollern, has arranged for himself a
Christmas celebration after the ira
ditional German style. as far as cir
cumstances will permit, according
to a dispatch to the Daily Express
from Amsterdam today. The ar
rangements will include elaborate
religious ceremonies on Christmas
eve. The idea of using the village
chapel has been abandoned because
of the fear Of hostile demonstrations.
The services. accordingly, will be
held in the drawing room of Amer
ongen castle which will be convert
ed into a chapel.
The ex-emperor desired to have
the court chaplain, DIR. Ernest Won
Dryander, come from Berlin to
preach the sermon at the Christmas
eve ceremony. but the Berlin gov
eminent, says the dispatch, has re-
fused permission for the chaplain to
60 to Holland. The service conse-
quently will be conducted by Ger
man missionary, but Herr Hohen-
zollern himself will deliver the ser.

ices, the message adds. but have re-
