William HohenZollern, the former
emperor of Germany, who began the
world war, and who abdicated when
he was convinced that Germany must
surrender to the victorious allies, has
arrived in Holland, and is now at the
town of Destieg, near Utretch. where
he hopes to escape further punish
ment at the hands of the nations he
has so grievously wronged
Desteeg is on the Guelders Yssel, an
arm of the Rhine river, about forty
miles east of Utrecht and twelve miles
from the German border. The chateau
Middachten, to which the former en-
peror is reported to be proceeding, be-
longs to Count William Frederick
Charles Henry Won Bentinck. He is a
member of the Prussian guards, and
before the war was attached to the
German embassy in London and a
member of the English Turf and Royal
Automobile clubs. He is 3S years old.
He belongs to the famous Anglo-Dutch-
German house of BentiEck. the con-
tinental branch of the family of the
Duke of Portland.
Middachten castle dates back to the
year 1857.
The former German emperor's party,
which is believed to include Field Mar
shall Won Hindenburg, arrived at Eys-
den, on the Dutch frontier, at 7 80
O'Clock Sunday morning, according to
Daily Mail advices.
Practically the whole German gen.
eral staff accompanied the former en-
peror and ten automobiles carried the
party. The automobiles were bristling
with rifles, and all the fugitives were
armed.
The ex-kaiser was in uniform. He
aighted at the Eysden station and
paced the platform, smoking a Gig
arctic.
Chatting with the members of the
staff, the former emperor, the CORE
spondent says, did not look in the
least distressed. A few minutes later
an imperial train, including restaur-
ant and sleeping cars, ran into the
station. Only servants We're aboard.
A London dispatch announced that
members of the battleship Kaiser, at
Kiel, had mutinied and hoisted the
red flag. Officers attempting to de-
fend the German flag We're overpow-
cred and two of them, including the
commander, were wounded, according
to the Cologne Gazette.
