LONDON, Nov. 22.-From special
investigation In western Germany
the correspondent of the Daily Mai
at The Hague has ascertained that
there Is considerable hostility against
the former Emperor and his eldest
son. The correspondent says that
after william Hohenzollern had en-
tered Holland a thousand German
soldiers arrived at the frontier and
demanded that they be allowed to
pursue and kill him. They were
turned back by the Dutch frontier
guards.
The correspondent does not believe
the former Emperor could reach Ber-
lin in safety, no matter what guar
antees might be given. The former
Crown Prince Is universally hated
also, and Is greatly desplsed. His
life in Germany, the correspondent
declares, would not be worth an
hours purchase. He is under the
closest guard In Holland, owing to
fears of an attack.
RoyaIists stin Hope.
Much publicity is being given to
Eitel Friedrich and August Wilhelm.
respectively the second and fourth
sons Of the former Emperor. and the
correspondents impression is that the
royallsts' hope is that through them
dynastic sympathies can be main
tanned.
The Daily MAJ attributes TO "a
high official Of the British Govern
ment" the statement that William
Hohenzollern is still German Emperor
and King of Prussia so far as the
British Government Is informed, and
is apparently waiting for something
to turn up"
THE Berlin Government" the off,
clal added, according to the Daily Mail,
"has not made any communication to
the Allies or the United States notify
ing us of his abdication. We think It
almost certain that If the abdication
occurred, notification would have been
sent, at least to the United States.
Only the Word of Max.
NO abdication document bearing the
Kaiser's signature is in existence. so
far as the outside world knows-noth-
Ing but the porfurctory statement or
Prince Macmillan, in which he used
the words 'thron verz!cht,' meaning re-
nunciation Of the throne, and not the
word abdankung.' meaning abdication.
Wilhelm, therefore. undoubtedly still
regards the throne as his and the worid
must contemplate the probability that
he expects to return.
While Holland cannot doubt that the
Allies do not relish her affording MIN
asylum there has not been as yet any
joint effort of the associated Govern
ments to extradite him."
Mr.. HohenEollern Is spending most OF
his time in bed in his retreat at Am
erongen 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 him. :
HohenxoIIern Has influenza.
He attended service in the chapel OF
the castle the day previous TO the De-
ginning of the malady, which was IN
the form Of a severe chill. 1t is under
