Amerongen.-The former German
emperor has refused to break his long |
silence so far as the public is concern
ed, even at the behest of the mon
archist leaders of Germany. Ignatius
T. Lincoln, the German agent, who
was at one time a member OF the
British parliament and was interned
during the greater part of the war, re-
turned hastily to Berlin Sunday with
his guest, "Herr Anderson" after a
conference at Bentinck castle.
It was believed that Lincoln came to
Amerongen for the purpose OF obtain
ing some direct word from the former
emperor which he could deliver to the
HOhenzollern supporters. But If he did
the nature of it is not disclosed. Lin
coin says that he expected to have a
startling statement to make Sunday.
But just before fastening by automo-
bile to Utrecht Immediately after the
conference he said he had not been
authorized to talk and gave the Asso-
duJuOIlZCu I0lh 1Au o1VS OuS SNAO
following written statement:
Lincoln Makes Statement.
II am sorry am unable to make a
statement to you before my departure
from Amerongen. The fact is there is
nothing to say. / came here in pri-
vate capacity and return to Berlin
in private capacity
'If + may make a suggestion, were
in your place l would not telegraph
anything that could put official con-
struction on my sojourn in Ameron-
gen, as such statements would most
likely be refuted by the persons with
whom have had few pleasant chats
of a, purely personal and private ma
ture."
Lincoln apparently based high hopes
on the conference. 1t is known at Am
erongen that while the monarchists in
Germany do not consider the time ripe
for any revival of the Hohenzollern
claims, they have been somewhat dis
turbed by the reports that the former
royal family seems content to settle
down in Holland, and have recently
bombarded both the former emperor
and former crown prince with infor-
nation purporting to show that the
greater part of the population of Ger
many will urge limited constitution
al monarchy with Hohenzollern as
king.
Former Kaiser Keeps Silent.
William Hohenzollern, however, ap-
parently has decided to preserve 81
lence. Recently one of the Berlin mon
archist newspapers sent special en-
voy to Amerongen, backed with pleas
from some of the former emperor's
most trusted aides, urging him to
make a statement. But this envoy, too,
had to return to Berlin unauthorized
to speak.
One of the many German monarch
lists who has recently been in Holland
explained the situation to the CORE
spondent.
sIn Germany" he said, "the present
socialist government is not likely to
stand long struggle, which will ulti
mately settle down to a contest be
tween the extreme lefts and the mon
archists. In this, l think, the latter
are bound to win.
Family Is Still Popular.
"The Hohenzollerns are still i'm
mensely popular, particularly the
crown prince, Prince Henry of Prus
sia and the crown princess, and the
children of the princess are living un
molested and courteously treated IL
