: Amerongen. Holland, Dec. 7.-Since
his formal abdication William Hohen-
xollern has shed his uniform and ap-
I pears regularly in civilian clothes
about his retreat here, as do the mem
b1baps Of his suite. The encourage has
been reduced in number to eighteen for
himself and the former empress.
= The family life of the erstwhile roy
al pair appears to flow as evenly as
that OF any middle-aged couple who
might be enjoying quiet country
holiday.
Their rooms in the castle command a
wide view Of the landscape. They dine
with their host, County Btntinck, be-
ing often joined at the meal by the
neighboring castle. and spend much OF
their time together strolling thru the
castle grounds.
Yesterday Herr Hohenzollern went
for walk in the country while his wife
explored the neighboring market town
of Wageningen. Today the ex- emperor
visited Zuylestein, Bentinck family
property. where he indulged in tree
cutting for the sake of exercise.
The quiet of the village here is oc-
casionally startled by wild rumors of
plots upon the former emperor's life,
but the suspicious person fouAd lurk-
ing about the castle" generally turns
out to be harmless newspaper man
IN search Of copy.
Another rumor, of which no con-
firrnation can be had. is that Herr Ho-
henzollern has bought villa in the
ncighborhood. ~.

Paris, Dec. 1O.-E,very train arriving
at Paris these days brings large num-
bers of officials attached to the various
delegations OF peace delegations.
BY the time tho delegates gather the
number OF officials of all nationa!ities
will number between 1000 and 5.C0o.
Each one will have some special work
to do. Many of them already are
busy.
The French delegates will have nii
their assistance near at nand, for the
large stats of the admiralty ana var
and foreign industries will be con-
stantly available.
The United States office~force will he
large. Great Britain will have large
number of experts and assistants IN
Paris.
There undoubtedly will be in Paris
representatives of Great Britains S
doninions and coiuiries with their
staffs. Great Britain will have eN-
perts, of every sort Including oX-
perts on navy, colonies, FAR east ana
gear east. F5 s..

The United States. because of It's
remoteness, will be, obliged to have
probably the largest, anG most com
plete staff and for this reason the
American authorities have been com
PEELED to take over larger acconlmoda-
tions than any other delegation.
Italy also will have a considerably
working force here, but the delegates,
as in the case Of Great Britain. will
be able to depend on much of their
work being done in their ewn country.
Each European nations delegates
will have at their disposal their own
private telegraph and telephone wires
with which they may communicate
with their respective governments.
So many hotels have been taken oV-
er by the peace delegates and the re-
mainder of the hostelr!es are 50 over
crowded that it is Impossible for SOL
diers to find accommodations in the
city.
A large number Of officials Of the
leading powers are receiving many rep
resentatives Of small nations or groups
of nationalities. who have interests
which they intend to bring before the
conference Some Of these represent
governments which have not even been
recognized, and in two cases are rep
-esentatives 9f tw" political groups
from the same country.

NO ARITHMETIC REQUIRED
IN COMING EXAMINATIONS

Simplifcation of examinations is
one means by which the Wisconsin
Civil Service Commission IS trying to
induce a greater number of stenogra-
pliers and typists to compete for posi-
tions in state service. Arithmetic has
been eliminated from the tests and the
stenOgrapher is now asked to show
his ability only in spelling, letter
writing, shorthand and typewriting.
AS heretofore, the examinations
scheduled for the week beginning
February 16 will be held at selected
centers throughout the state, includ-
ing Green Bay, Eau claire, GAINESVILLE,
La Crosse, Madison, Milwaukee, Osh-
kOsh, Wausau and other centers
where the number of candidates war
rants an examination.
Only last November a very success
full examination was held which re-
suited in placing 122 names on the
eligible registers for slenographers
and typists, but the heavy calls OF the
state and federal service have already
practically exhausted these lists. Anz
other examination will be held in May
10 accommodate the graduating class
es Of commercial and high schools.
