EX-KAISER PLANNING '
CHRISTMAS JUBILEE
Elaborate Ceremonies to Be
Held and Herr Hohenzollern
Will Preach the Sermon
By the Associated Press

s. LONDON, btC. 90.
william Hohenzollern has arranged for
himself q. Christmas celebration after the
traditional style, as far as the circum-
stances will permit, according to a dis
patch TO the Daily Express from Amster-
dam today. The arrangements, by the
ex-Emperor's insistence. will include re-
liglous ceremonies on Christmas Eve. h
idea OF using tho village chapel for
these, however, has proved impractical
BILE for various reasons, one OF them
being a fear OF popular hostile demon
stratlons. The service. accordingly, will
be held in the drawing.room Of Ameron-
gen Castle, which will be converted into
D chapel.
Tho ex-Emperor desired to have the
court chaplain, On Ernest Won bryan
der, come from Berlin to preach the
sermon ut the Christmas Eve ceremony,
but the Berlin Government, says the dis
patch, has refused permission for the
chaplain to go to Holland. The service
consequently will be conducted by a
German missionary from >zeist, near
Amerongen, but Herr Hohenzollern him
self will deliver the sermon.
Many friends of Count con Bentinck,
the former Emperor's host, have been
asked to attend the service. the message
adds, but have refused the invitation.
The former rulers audience, therefore,
will consist of Count Won Bentlnck n
his family, the ex-Emperor's suite and
the servants of the castle.
Christmas trees will be provided, as
usual, for the celebration. Herr Hohen-
zollern cut these down himself, with
the help OF two men of the estate; in
the Amerongen pine woods, The trees
are being decorated and loaded with
gifts, but the former ruler has requested
that none be given him and the ex-
Empress.
The feature OF the Christmas dinner
will. be turkey. In accordance with
Prussian family custom Herr Hohen-
zollern will do the carving himself.
There also will be a plum pudding. made
after an old English recipe, which II
is supposed the ex-Emperor's mother.
