London, Nov. 23-Nilliam Hohen-
zollern is spending most Of his time IN
bed in his retreat at Amerongen Castle
because of the illness with which he was
suddenly stricken recently, according to
the Amsterdam correspondent OF the
Daily Express. Two officers take turns
in reading novels and newspapers to the
former emperor.
He attended service in the chapel of
the castle the day previous to the be
ginning of the attack, which was IN the
form of severe chill. II i. understood
adds the correspondent, that the illness
has proved to be influenza.
Paris, Nov. 22.-The Dutch legation
today published note containing
Netherlands Council Of Ministers to the
Chamber of Deputies, saying the former
German Emperor entered Dutch territory
after his abdcation as a private personage.
The note says the kind Of refuge granted
to him is similar tn that gwen all foreign
refugees, and the Government couldn OF
make any exception on account o his
former position when he asked to bead
mitted TO Dutch territory.
This docs not prevent the Government
saws the note, from carrying out the duty
of watching that the former Emperor
docs not commit any abuse o' asylum
which would render hospitality detri-
mental To the interests Of the country
The note adds that the Netherlands
Government docs not believe that for
eiCn Governments, whose subjects SO
often have had the benefit of Dutch re
fuge, will refuse To respect national
tradition or TO remember instances when
they themselves gave hospitality TO de
throncd monarchs.
H. addition the note says the former
Emperor has not single instance left
the park Of the Amerongen castle, where
he is interned.
