Kaiser Wilhelm Seeks Sanctuary in
Holland After Being Convinced That
His Dream of World Dominion
Would Never Come True.

hington.-Deserted by all her
allies, her great military machine in
process of destruction by onslaughts
of the allies armies; her emperor a
fugitive in Holland, with his dream of
world dominion rudely shattered,
Germany has at last conceded defeat,
and the world war which has ragged for
for years l. at an end.
The Huns have surrendered uncon-
ditionally to General Foch.
The war ended Monday morning, No
vember IL, at 6 O'clock. Washington
time, II o'clock Paris time. The arm
istice was signed by the German rep
resentatives at . 30 O'Clock Monday
morning and flashed all Over he coun-
try. The result was a demonstration
in every section of America that was
continued for hours.
The terms of the armistice, 1t was
announced, will not be made public
until later Military men here now
ever, regard it as certain they i'll
clude:
Immediate retirement of the German
military forces from France, Belgium
and Alsace-Lorraine.
Disarming and rehabilitation of the
German armies.
Occupation by the allied and Amer
lean forces of such strategic points in
Germany as will make impossible re-
newal of hostilities.
No rf Of ~
seas fleet and a certain number of sub
marines to the allied and American
laval forces.
Disarmament of all other German
warships under supervision of the al
lied and American nayies, which will
guard them.
Occupation of the principal German
naval bases by sea forces of the vic
torious nations.
Release, of allied and American SOL
diers, sailors and civilians held pris-
oners in Germany without such recip-
rocal action by the associated govern
ments.
There was no information as 10 the
circumstances under which the armis-
tice was signed, but since the German
courier did not reach German military
Headquarters until 10 o'clock Sunday
mornin, French time, it was gen.
orally assumed here that the German
ENJOYS within the French lines had
been instructed by wireless to sign the
terms.
l.,I hOn ri
for the courier to reach German head
quarters, and unquestionably several
hours were necessary for the eXaml--
nation of the terms and decision. 1t
was regarded as possible, however,
that the decision may have been made
ut Berlin and instructions trans
mitted from there by the new German
government.
Up to Sunday there were four king
doms in the German empire, namely,
Prussia. Bavaria, SaXony and
Wurttemberg. All but Saxony are now
kingless and throneless. The situation
in Saxony is not clear from the dis
patches. Germany's total population
Is, roughly, 100000.
The populations of the three revoiu-
tionlzed Kingdoms are: Prussia, Al
0,000 Bavaria, 100000; Wurttem-
berg, 100000; total, 100000.
OF the remaining inhabitants of the
empire, it is safe to say, on the
strength of all dispatches, that the ma
jority has joined the revolt.
Late dispatches report the king of
Saxony Is also about to abdicate, If
he has not already done so. He is
Friedrich August III, whose personal
life was exposed some years ago by
his divorced wife, the Princess Louise
Of Tuscany.
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
1 before the war was attached to the
German embassy in London and a
member of the English Turf and Royal
Automobile clubs. He Is IS years old
He belongs to the famous Anglo-Dutch-
| German house of Bentinck, the con-
4 tipental branch of the family of the
/ Duke of Portland.
