WITH SEVERE CHILL
Said to Haze Aged Greatly in
Appearance.

AMERoNGEN, Dec. 1S.--Former EN-
peror William has been forced to keep
to his bed since Sunday with a severe
chill. His indisposition has brought
about a renewal Of his old ear trouble,
necessitating the calling in OF a spe-
ciallst a professor from Utrecht, to
assist the local doctor.
The constant worry OF the last FIVE
weeks and his virtual imprisonment in
Count Bentinck's castle here have
changed William Hohenollern's ap-
pearance considerably. Instead Of the
rudy complexion he had. his face has
become ashen. his hair and mustache
are now gray and his features deeply
lined. Since he has lain abed with his
Illness his face has remained I'M
shaver, and the seventy-two hours
growth of beard seems to have added
ten years to his age.
The -Emperor's favorite Adjutant,
capt Sigurd Won Ilsemann. Is also Ill,
and the former Empress has become
her husbands almost sole attendant.
No strangers are permitted to enter
the castle grounds under any pretext,
while all arrivals in the village are

country and with the unanimous in
dorsement OF my Republican COL
leagues from Massachusetts"
Coming on the heels OF Mr.. Mann's
announcement yesterday the notice
that the real floor leader OF the House
Republicans will oppose tbe nominal
one means that a warm ahd interest
ing fight will be waged.
The Anti-Saloon League is deter
mined to prevent the selection of Rep
resentative- Mann. Since he led the
fight some years ago against the Hob
son prohibition resolution the Anti
Saloon League has been implacably
opposed to Mr.. Mann and all his
works.
Soon after the announcement of Mr..
Gillett Representative Winslow Mass. }
Issued a statement, in which he said:
The conduct OF the next House will
have great influence on the coming
Presidential election. Republicans
need wise. broad leadership. Mr. Gill
lett during his twenty-five consecutive
years of Congressional experience has
proved himself level headed, temperate
and studious. BY his long membership
on the Appropriations Committee he is
intimately acquainted with all branches
of the Government service.
He is not hasty, irritable or over
confident. He acts with a elaboration
and dignity and sound sense that sell
dom errs:
HE was Republican floor leader
during the difficult epoch OF the war
and made no mistakes. On that rec
ord the last election was won by Re-
publicans. Mr.. Gil!ett since the be-
ginning of the European war has al
ways been on the right side OF the
question. He is not identified with
extremists"
A committee Of eight members OF
the Illinois Republican members of the
House, headed by Representative Mad
dem has been formed to handle Mr.
Mann's campaign. The committee
sent out a form letter to all Repub-
lican members OF the next House
which said in part:
illinois presents Hon. James II
Mann for the Speakership of the Sixty
sixth Congress Mr. Mann has had
twenty-five years OF conspicuous ser
vice. His industry and intelligence
have been the wonder OF the House
He is recognized to be the best par
Humanitarian in the House. As a pre-

He has been minority leader fol
eight years and was the Republican
choice for Speaker OF the Sixty second

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1s.-Oficial warn

last Liberty Loan have been spent,
that expenditures for the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1919. may even exceed
the $4,000, 10000 estimated by Mr..

made by the country to absorb another

to the banks for purchasing total OF

that in less than half OF the present
fiscal year the Government has spent
SO. 900, 900 900, more than half of the
estimated expenditures Of the Govern

the Fourth Liberty Loan so far re-
ceived have been spent and the re-
naming instalment payable on sub
scriptions to that loan will be needed
to meet maturing Treasury certificates
OF indebtedness issued in, anticipation
OF that loan and as yet unpaid
To explain the large expenditures by
the Government Mr.. Glass said
The treaty of peace has not yet
been signed nor any important part of
our army demobilied. Production OF
war materials and supplies had
reached the peak at the time the ar
mistice was signed and the bills in
CURED during that period OF maximum
production must be paid
The Treasury must issue another
large loan before the end OF the fiscal
year, and I am entirely in accord with
the policy outlined that this loan
should take the form OF bonds OF
short maturities. 10 is vitality impor-
tant that the Treasury should continue
| in a most energetic way the sale OF
war saving stamps and certificates.
Among the valuable and much
needed lessons we have partly learned
| from the war is that OF thrift and in.

nounced last night that George

The return was made on an order

was not opposed by the Alien Property

by the trading with the enemy law

the United States became a belligerent
and was prevented by advanced years
and i'll health from coming to this
country until August last.
Mr.. Ehret n Loyal American.
Mr. Garvan said: 1.-THE taking over
of the property should in no way be
taken as a reflection on the patriotism
or loyalty of Mr.. Ehret as an Amer
lean citizen. Under the trading with
the enemy law. the Alien Property
Custodian was obliged to take control
Of property here belonging to Amer

and having established his American

! Trust Company as trustees. for the
Alien Property Custodian. The
younger Mr.. Ehret has been collect
ing the income, making periodical re-
ports to the Government.

States declared war on Germany. He
had been in Berlin since just before
the outbreak OF the European war.
He prepared TO leave for America with
the party of former Ambassador

III health interfered with his plans
to return again and again. The Ger
man Government placed no obstacles
in his way, presumably because Of his
advanced age and the fact that he had
no property in Germany. He was
registered in Berlin as an enemy alien.
When Mr.. Ehret's party reached
! here August IL the first thing the
| aged brewer said when he walked into
! his home at 1877 Park avenue was:

son.
The brewer was born in Hofweier,
