Soldiers Wanted to Kill Former
Kaiser Grown Prince Hated.

A correspondent Of the London Daily
Mail at The Hague learns that there
is considerable hostility in Germany
against the former emperor and his
eldest son. He says that after Viii
liam Hohenzollern had entered Hol-
land a thousand German soldiers ar
rived at the frontier and demanded
that they be allowed to pursue and
kill MIN. They were turned back by
Dutch guards. The correspondent
does not believe the former emperor
could reach Berlin in safety, no mat
ter what guarantees might be given.
The former crown prince is univer-
sally hated also. His life in Germany,
the correspondent declares, would not
be worth an hours purchase. He is
under the closest guard in Holland.
