give some indication of the great

LONDON. Dec. 10. - Former Kaiser
Wilhelm will leave Count Won Ben
tinck's castle of Amerongen soon and
go to Belmonte castle, according to
dispatches from Amsterdam. Count
Won Bentinck will be delighted to get
rid OF his guest. Speaking to one of
his intimate friends recently the Count
declared that the former Emperor was
charming but somewhat trying. He
spends hours daily and practically all
the evenings trying to convince Count
Won Bentinck Of his gifts as a lecturer.
For hours at time he discusses the
strategy Of the war ana It's tactics and
he talks lengthily about art. He be-
comes much excited when he gets or
the topic OF German painters.
His latest folly Is an ambition to go
down in the ages as one OF the great
beginning of the former Emperor's
visit Count Won Bentinck in an impru-
dent moment referred to the Dutch
Governments plan for drawing the
Zuyder Zee. In which the former Kaiser
takes a great interest. After studying
the plans which the Dutch Govern
rnent has adopted the former Emperor
began to develop plans Of his own,
and he is constantly drawing sketches
to illustrate ideas. the merits of which
he expounds untiringly and at great
length to his patient host.
These explanations often continue
late into the night and when Count
Won Bentinck leaves the room the
former Kaiser says in a commanding
tone: Good night. l shall expect
you tomorrow morning at o'clock!
Count Won Bentinck's friends say
that he will be completely tagged out

Thirty-one OF them came directly TO
the United States. where they placed
their profession as poison distributors
under the direction OF DR.. Heinrich
Albert. Most OF them had arrived at
their posts by the time the war was
in full swing and prior to the COM
plete regulation OF the blockade OF the
Teutonic empires by the navies of
Great Britain and France.
Capt. Lester explained that II was
from one of the group OF thirty-one
spies sent to the United States that
the ramifications of the plan and the
method OF organization under which
they operated were uncovered. He
withheld the name of the informant.
The rest OF the group OF spies pro-
ceeded TO other neutral lands, includ-
ing South American republics, Mex
leo, Central America and China. Wher-
ever they could gain a foothold In the
effort to upbuild sympathy for the
German cause or disseminate views
which tended to create sentiment ad-
verse TO the Entente, particularly
Great Britain, there they were put to
work.
The instructions given the opera
tives from Berlin included the infor-
nation that a general European war
was about to begin.
The selection of the 1870 experts
had been accomplished long before
they were started on their mission,
and In each instance the German Gov
ernment had been at pains to learn
if the employees we're willing to en-
gage in foreign service.
"The plan dates back twenty years
before the beginning OF the world war,
however" Capt. Lester told the Bena-
tors. "Pan-German propaganda has
been distributed throughout the
United States and throughout the
growing republics OF South America
ever since 1894"
