HOHENZOLLERN
ISOLATED FROM
OUTSIDE WORLD


Amerongen, Holland, Dec. is (by
the Associated Press.) )--The former
German emperor continues to lead the
life of a near-recmse. He is virtually
cut off from all communication with
the outside world Reports that he
was in constant communication with
his former advisers arc not true.
There is no truth in the rumors that
the former empress is seriously ILL.,
S'he has been troubled for years with
an affection of the Eeart and after
her arrival here desired to have her
former physician IN attendance. He
arrived at the castle yesterday and said
her situation showed no change.
Whenever there is a break in the
ineessant drizzle customary In Hol-
land, William Hohenzollern and wife
walk in the rainsoaked grounds with
one or two attendants. Sometimes
they taken trip in a closed motor
car
Tho correspondent inquired into the
rumor that the former emperor in
tended to move his quarters, and
learned that Herr Hohenzollern is not
interested in other houses in Holland
and is not likely to move anywhere
until he knows more regarding his fu-
ture.

spending many hours daily writing and
working in connection with the prep
aration for his defense, apparently full
ly realizing his critical position. He
appears to have overcome his congen-
ial impulse and uses the utmost eau
tion now to do or to say nothing
which may prejudice his case,
Through Count Carlos f3entinck, the
eldest son of Williams host, the cor
respondent attempted a personal inter-
view with the ex-kaiser, who sent to
me the following significant reply:
His majesty the kaiser greatly re-
grets ne cannot receive you now, but
hopes to make your acquaintance
later"
Sunday afternoon the correspond
ent saw the ex-empress walking slowly
with a bowed head about Amerongen
park alone, occasionally stopping to
look down into the murky waters of
the castle moat, still brooding. Later
the ex-empress was accompanied by
the ex-kaiser wearing a golf cap. 1t
was a melancholy picture as the two
slowly passed over the local bridge Of
sighs in the twilight

Paris Dee 15s-- President Wilson
spent his first Sunday in Paris by go
ing twice 10 church, laying a wreath
on the tomb of In Fayette and having
a brief conference with Premier Glenn
enccau and another with Col +. NJ.
House. In the evening he rested in
preparation for the coming strenuous
week cf preliminary conferences.
During the afternoon the president
made a short call on President and
Madame Poincare at the Palace of the
Elysee.
In the morning, the president, ac-
coppanied by Mrs. Wilson and A1-
mirai Grayson, and by secret service
men, went to the American Presby-
terian church in the Rue De Berri. His
coming was known to only few of
the American colony, who had guessed
that he president, being a consistent
chureh-goer would choose a church
of his own denomination
The Rev Chauncey w Goodrich
the pastor, took his text from the
ninth verse OF the ninth chapter of
Isaiah. He dwelt on the necessity of
impregnating political and civil life
with idealism and showed how the
evolution OF humanity was reaching
the last stage in the constitution of a
society of nations.
The edifice was filled. but there was
no special service. The president took
part as he would if he had been at the
Central Presbyterian church in Wash
ington.
In the afternoon President Wilson
went TO a church of Mrs. Wilson's
denomination, as is the custom in
Washington when he goes twice on
Sunday The church selected was the
American Episcopal Church of the
Holy Trinity, the bishop of South Car
olina officiating.
Honor I.afayctte's Memory
The president visited the tomb of
Lafayette in the Picpus cemetery, in
the southwestern section of Paris,

heen arranged at the cemetery and

Fight Was Brief


The fight, passengers said, was
brief, the MeXicans running away as
soon as the Americans opened fire,
leaving their dead and wounded. La
ter, officials Of the port took the mat
ter into hand, the passengers assert
ed, and a demand was made upon the
captain of the Monterey that the arm
ed guard be delivered up to them
pending an investigation
This the captain declined to do, his
action being supported it was said, by
officers Of two American gunboats
in the harbor Later the matter was
disposed of by a decision to leave the
entire subject to diplomatic settle
ment.
II was said that the gunner's mate
had gone ashore on an errand just
before the Monterey sailed Several
blocks from where the ship was tied
up was saloon and as Berry was re-
turning to his ship passing in front
of this saloon he was called upon to
treat" When he refused to do so
several Mexicans started after him.
As the American approached his ship
shot was fired, and 4 Mexican guard
there seeing him coming placed him
under detention. 1t was also assert
cd that others started to beat him
with the butts Of their rifles. The
sailor fought back the best he could.
and as he drew near the ship he call
ed to his men for assistance.
They needed no second invitation,
one Of the passengers said, and all
who were in sight or hearing Joined
in the fray. Seeing reinforcements
coming, some of the Mexicans opened
fire No one was hit on the ship.
Two Mexicans Killed.
The naval guard then secured arms
and as the firing continued. they re-
turned the shots with the result that
two Mexicans fell With the show OF
arms the MeXicans fled. leaving the
gunner's mate free 10 return to his
ship with his men
Sound Of the firing attracted con-
siderable crowd, but no further DEM
onstration was made Threats were
heard however, and during the TWEEN
ty-fOur hours that the Monterey was
detained pending the investigation OF
the incident, every precautan was
taken to guard against surprise at
tack.
The two gunboats were suff cientlv
close that they could have rendered
assistance to the Monterey had It
been reuuired In addition IN hand
arms, the Monterey carried a gun
mounted on her deck placed there
during the war as protection against
submarines.
On arrival Of the Monterev here to-
day the gunner's mate and his men
went to the navy ward to make an Of
fetal report Of the matter. Officers
of the ship were also questioned BY
naval authorities.

SALES
ARE SMALL

Loose floor sales of tobacco for the
past week were the smallest Of the
season. reaching only $3.50 pounds.
However. the average for the week
was high notwithstanding the fact
that no fine quality weed was offered.
As the season nears the close the
average gradually increases.
Much tobacco still remains in barns
unutripped and lack Of n softening
rain has caused many to sprinkle and
steam their tobacco to try to order
u ~ handling This has become n
very serious matter with many farm
ers who have another crop growing
and will need the barn room taken
by the old crop. Also. the sales
season closes Aug. and will not re-
open till early winter or late fall.
The average for the week is $3.50
while the seasons average is $i4.l9.
Prices ranged from si3 for trash Ia
