Angry German, Troops
Try to Cross Border
To Slay Ex-Kaiser

LONDON, Nov. 22. "The Daily
Mails" CORES spondent at The Hague
has ascertained there is considerable
hostility against the former Kaiser and
his eldest son in Western Germany.
After William Hohenzollern hzd en-
tered Holland, he learns, thousand
German soldiers arrived at the from
tier and demanded that they be al
lowed to pursue and kill him. They
were turned back by Dutch frontier
guards.
The correspondent does not believe
the former Emperor could reach Berlin
in safety, no matter what guarantees
might be given. The former Crown
Prince Is universally hated and de-
spised. His life in Germany, the cor
respondent declares. would not be
worth an hours purchase. He is under
the closest guard in Holland, owing to
fears Of an attack.
Much publicity is being given to
Eitcl Friedrich and August Wilhelm,
respectively the second and fourth sons
of the former Emperor, and the CORE
spondent's impression is that the royal
ists' hope is that through them dynas-
tic sympathies can be maintained.

Dear Mr.. President:

it while the country was at war.
For almost six years I have

pressure of great responsibilities.
Their exactions have drawn
heavily on my strength. The in
adequate compensation allowed by
law to Cabinet officers (as vou

living in Washington have so de-
pieted my personal resources that
am. obliged to reckon with the

despite the fact that Secretary of

stricken the vessel from the naval
rolls, and directed that the in
surance held by the crew be paid
to their dependents.
But Germany will be required
under the armistice to give an
accurate account of its shipping,
and this is pointed to by naval
officials as likely to tell the story
of the Cyclops fate.
The Navy Department has re-

Cyclops contained many men of
German origin and that the cap

Resignation Looked Upon
as First Step Toward
Nomination in 1920
By Carter Field

WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.-Members
OF Congress and politicians generally
tonight are discussing the political
significance of the resignation of Will
lam Gibbs McAdoo, who is regarded not
only by Democrats, but by Republicans,
as the logical candidate of the Demo-
cratic party for the Presidency in 1920.
Mr.. McAdoo is believed to cherish
Presidential bee, and many stories are
being told indicating this. His extreme
cordiality to certain visitors, who told
of strength for him in various parts of
the country, was recalled by Senators
and members of the House.
1t has been generally accepted here
that Mr. McAdoo's chief rival for the
Democratic nomination was Secretary
of War Newton D. Baker. Mr.. Baker,
it. is generally believed, is much more
the Presidents own type. He is con-
sidered to think like the President. to
be more in sympathy with the Presi-
dents radical views and to be alto
gether the man whom the President
would normally prefer to favor for the
nomination were it not for the nearer
personal relationship of Mr.. McAdoo.
McAdoo More Popular
Mr.. McAdoo has borne much more
of the burden of the Administration
than has any other one man. His per
sonal popularity, not only throughout
the administration, but on CAPITOL
Hill, and, it is generally believed in
Washington, throughout the country.
is much greater than that of the Sec
retary of War He is generally cred
tied with having more force and de-
termination.
Certainly the political leaders of the
party seem to have warmed to the Nc
Adoo candidacy much more than to the
Baker boom.
Those who think tonight that Mr.
McAdoo's stepping down from his. tre-
mendousiy important position in the
Administration is the logical step tow
ard candidacy for the Presidency in
1920 point out that a number of mo-
tives could logically guide him in that
direction. They point out that Mr. Nc
Adoo could scarcely achieve a higher
place than he has already obtained in
the Administration. that almost Of ne
cesity his work would be les. spec.
tacular for the next two or three wears
than 1t has been during the war. and
that beyond doubt much of the pubic
ity attending all of his jobs during the
next eighteen months, or straight un
to the election of 1920, will be criti
cism of their administration.
The fight to force the railroads back
under private ownership, it is asserted,
whether it is successful or not, will re-
suit in much keen, searching criticism
OF the conduct Of the railroads under
the government, whereas all OF the no.
litical credit which any one man could
possibly obtain from the situation is
already in the hands of Mr.. McAdoo.

Holland Tells Paris She
Will See Strict Neu-
.trality Prevails

PARIS, Nov. 22.-The Dutch Lega-
tion to-day published note containing
a declaration by the president Of the
Netherlands Council of Ministers to the
Chamber of Deputies saying that the
former German Emperor entered Dutch
territory after his abdication as a
private parsonage.
The note says the kind Of refuge
granted to him is similar to that given
all foreign refugees and that the gov
eminent could not make any exception
on account of his former position when
he asked to be admitted to Dutch ter
ritory.
This does not prevent the govern
ment, says the note, from carrying out
the duty of watching that the former
Emperor does not commit any abuse
of asylum which would render hos
pitality detrimental to the interests OF
the country.
The note adds that the Netherlands
government does not believe that for
eign governments, whose subjects SO
often have had the benefit Of Dutch
refuge, will refuse to respect national
tradition or to remember instances
when they themselves gave hospitality
to dethroned monarchs.
In addition, the note says, the for
mer Emperor has not in single in
stance left the park of the Amerongen
Castle where he is interned.

Total of 50 Submarines
Has Been Surrendered
by Germany

LONDON, Nov. 22.--Twenty more
German submarines were surrendered
to Admiral Sir Reginald Tyrwhitt off
Harwich this morning. This makes a
total of fifty-nine submarines thus far
handed over. There should have been
twenty-one surrendered, but one sank
during the night.
The correspondent of the British
forces says that just before noon a
cruiser came in sight, followed by the
German submarines and a German
transport. The transfer took place in
the harbor on account Of the heavy sea.
Discipline Is Lacking
When the Germans arrived it was
noticeable that the revolutionary ele-
ment was decidedly present. Some Of
the officers had removed the Prussian
eagles from their caps and replaced
them with sort of red badge, thus
recognizing the authority of the Sail
ors' and Soldiers Council. There
seemed to be little discipline and the
men took little notice of what officers
said to them. One shouted: "No Of
ficer--no Kaiser"
Some of the Germans were exceed
ingly anxious to air such English as
they possessed, while others sup
pressed their accomplishments in that
direction Wits equal care. One German
officer, who was inclined to be COM

Of luck. You British say it was not
