MEETING 0FTHE
ROYAL COUPLE
Believed Kaiser Will Stay in
Holland. Wants Kaiser
Held Responsible
SON RETAINS HIS RIGHTS
SON RETAINS HIS RIGHTS

London, Dec. 2.-The meeting OF
former Emperor and Empress al
Amerongen is thus described by a
Dutch correspondent of The Daily
Express:
"The gates were thrown open, the
drawbridge was lowered with a
noise of chains and iron bars that
sounded very medieval, and in the
courtyard before the castle an elder
ly man in a gray military cloak was
seen at a distance, walking slowly
and leaning on his tick. It was the
ex-Kaiser. The ex-Kaiser's car was
driven into the courtyard, the ex-
Kaiser threw down his stick and, be-
bore the valet was able to do so, op-
ened the door and handed out his
wife.
"They shook hands and then
threw themselves into each others
arms, the ex-Kaiserin falling upon
her husbands shoulder and crying
like a child. The closing Of the gates
shut out a further view."
Amerongen, Dec. at is under
stood here that William Hohenzol-
lern had been awaiting the arrival Of
his wife before going elsewhere.
Germans in his suite believe that he
will return to Germany and are op-
timistic enough to think that he will
resume the throne.
A member of Count von Bent
inck's household said that the form
er Emperor was greatly moved when
his wife arrived and seemed particu-
larly delighted. One of Herr Ho-
henzollern's servants is reported to
have said that his master was
much brighter" and to have add
ed:
"Things are looking better for
u.s."
The former Empress was accom-
panied to Holland by Countess Won
Keller, a lady Of honor; Prince Won
Solms, former Chief Court Chamber
lain; Count Rantzau, a Court physi-
clan; three maids and valet.
Amsterdam, Dec. 2.-The arrival
of the ex-Kaiser in HEolland has
given added interest to the Kaiser
question. The impression prevails
in most quarters that, as William II
has been joined by his consort, some
form of assurance has been receiv-
ed by him that he will be able to
stay in this country. Opinion in
Germany would appear to be in
creasingly against his remaining
here and, in Holland there is some
speculation as to whether the ex-

question as to who was responsible

The proposal is contained in q
note sent to Switzerland for trans
mission to France, Great Britain
Italy, and the United States. 1t asks
that all the belligerents place their
secret documents at the disposal OF
the commission.
DR.. Alfred Zimmerman. former
Secretary of Foreign Affairs, reply
ing to the charge of Kurt Eisner, the
Bavarian Premier, that the govern
ment at Berlin was responsible for
the war, says in the Detusche Zei-
tung:
I'VE did, in fact, consider that,
with the crime of Serejevo, Austria
Hungary's hour Of destiny had
struck. We did not prompt Austria
Hungar yto her action, but expressly
advised her against it. The Vienna
ultimatum, which we considered too
severe, was communicated to us too
late for an endeavor to mitigate It,"
Amsterdam, Nov. 3O.-The Tage-
blatt of Berlin says 1t has been Of
ficially informed that the Soldiers
and Workmen's Council has ordered
the seizue of all documents relating
to foreign affairs, and the old gov
ernmental system Of Germany. 1t

Internment Of Mackensen's Army
Copenhagen, Nov. 80. (Reuter. y
The Hungarian government has de-
cided to intern the whole Of Field
Marshal Won Mackensen's army of
10000 men, in accordance with the
demand of the French government,
it is reported from Budapest by way
of Berlin.
Nackensen has declared that
he will yiel dto the decision.
Won Mackensen has required a
large army to keep Rumania in sub
lection since his conquest of that
country in October and November Of
1916. When it became apparent that
the surrender of Germany was immi-
nent, Won Mackensen hastily removed
portable booty into Germany, includ-
ing 69,000,OO0 marks in gold and
stocks of provisions, but when he
sought to withdraw his army he was
blocked by tre Hungarians, who had
yielded to Italy before the armistice
with Germany was signed. The arm
istice with Italy provided that Aus
tro-Hungarian territory should not
be used for the movement Of Ger
man military forces.
Since that time, Won Mackensen
and German officials have sought to
make arrangements to bring the
German army of occupation in Ru-
mania through to Germany without
the armament. It was reported that
several thousand of his troops had
been disarmed in Hungary and al
lowed to go to Germany, before the
demand for the internment Of his
troops in Hungary was made.
Won Mackensen ranked next to Lu-
dendorff and Won Hindenburg in mil
itary fame in Germany. He is in his
sixty-ninth year. He has the repu-
tation of being one Of the most ruth
less and merciless Of German gene
erals in the discipline of his own men
as we'll as in the treatment of enc
mics. Americans who interviewed
him before this country entered the
war reported that his hatred Of the

Rheumatism is caused by poison

generated in the bowels and absorbed
into the blood 1t is the function of
the kidneys to filter this acid from the
blood and cast it out in the urine.
The pores of the skin are also a means
of freeing the blood of this i'm purity.
In damp and chilly, cold weather the
skin pores are closed, thus forcing the
kidneys to do double work, they be-
