as q private citizen,
Whereas the kaiser has many ytsi-
tors, including members of his family,
all OF whom have been to see him at
Amerongen, the former crown prince
has very few and much Of his time Is
spent keeping out Of the way Of un-
welcome persons who seek to inteI-
view him.
No armed guards surround the
home Of Frederick Wilhelm. There
is nothing to prevent anyone from ap-
preaching 1t But entrance can be
gained only IL Muldner Won Muhlheim
can be convinced the crown prince
would care to speak with the caller.
On the other hand Amerongen Castle
is surrounded by armed guards. These
are supplied by the Holland govern
ment. They are not soldiers but part
OF the royal police force. Entrance
into the castle grounds positively Is
forbi3een. Guards are posted in con-
spcuous places along the roads which
run on the four sides of the huge es-
late.
While found the crown prince af-
fable and quite laxative when Wis,
tied him, he suggested that we avoid
talking of things OF a political nature.
There are two reasons why he retrains
from talking politics; the Holland gov
eminent does not wish it, and there
are SO many factions in Germany at
present that he evidently feels he can
not open his mouth without sticking
his foot into it.
Undoubtedly both the former kaiser
and crown prince are looking fOrwaso
10 the time when they will be able to
return to Germany and live on Their
estates, or such portions OF them as
the German people may allot. Both
keep in constant touch with affairs
in Germany through personal friends
That the kASer has little hope OF
making an early return is Indicated
by the fact that he has taken resi-
dence at Doom, As minutes ride from

FORMER KAISER
Continued from page one.J

was has been guest" in the castle
of Count Bentinck, and for over a year
he has sawed wood and said nothing,
literally as we'll as figurattvely.
But let US contrast the lives OF the
former kaiser and the crown prince:
The kaiser lives in Amerongen, in
the principality of Utrecht, only step
from the German border. Amerongen
is one Of the garden spots of Europe.
The estate of Count Bentinck, sur
rounded by q nine-foot brick wall, is
one of the type one reads about in
story books. The castle itself stands
on a knoll in the center of wonder
full park. 1t is surrounded by trees
which cast comforting shade in the
summer months and breaks the force
of the wind fsb winter. Miniature lakes,
beautiful flower beds, shrubbery
trimmer by the hands Of an artist,
graveled walks, broad smooth drives,
an army of servants-one asks what
more could man ask for.
And then there are, at his beck and
call, automobiles, large and small.
carriages that can be used If he de-
sires change, a staff of cooks such
as connot be surpassed anywhere, the
woodpile with its endless supply of
small timber to be reduced to fire
wood and souvenirs when the former
ruler Of an empire takes the notion
and the countless little things which
such a home and such friends as live
with him alone can afford.
Besides, there is kaiserin, with
whom he walks and drives and spends
the greater part Of the time.
All OF these things has the kaiser,
the war lord whose hosts devastated
Belgium and northern France who
could see ahead nothing but victory
and world domination, but who now
is the emperor Of an empire Of lone
illness.
And on the other hand, let us spend
a few minutes with the former crown
prince, who expected to inherit those
lands which his father ruled and which
his father had set out to conquer.
The Island of Wiringen, where the
crown prince lives This lonesome life,
lies in the Zuyder Zee, north Of the
mainland OF Holland. Instead of a
palace, Frederick Wilhelm lives in a
small brick house. This, instead OF
being surrounded by beautiful lawns
Gnd drives, stands in the center Of a
dreary farming country. Instead OF
having autos at his beck and call,
Frederick must summon the island
jitney by telephone.
There are no walks and drives
whoEs beauty tempts one-only rough
farm roads. His society consists of
two companions, Muldner Won Null
helm, former adjutant to the crown
prince when he felt his military might,
and Major Won Muller, who captalned
the famous cruiser Emden, which was
shot to pieces after making record
as a commerce destroyer.
Wiringen is such place as one
wishes to spend only an hour or two
in and then leave, never to return,
There are no places of amusement,
there is nothing to do but walk, talk,
read and exercise.
The former crown prince told me
that his pleasantest hours are spent in !
reading the books of Jack London, He |
admits that he is homesick, and would |

SPEECHES WILL
BE EMADEANYHOW
Liquor People Determine to
Have Remarks Against the
Amendment Resolution

No opposition will be made to the
resolution to ratify the prohibition
amendment on second reading in the
House tonight, but there will be
speeches for and against it on third
reading and final passage to-mor-
row. Men against the amendment
announced shortly after noon to-day
that the agreement to have no
speeches was off and that w. Il. Ram
sey, of Delaware, and David Fowler.
Lackawanna, might be speakers in
opposition tomorrow.
The reports that an effort would
be made to drop the bill from the
calendar tonight were denied. The
fight will center on third reading to-
morrow.
The advocates OF the measure
claimed to-day that it would have q
safe majority, but gabe no figures.
Anticipating the approval by the
Legislature of the federal amend
ment for prohibition, the leaders of
the Anti-Saloon League and the Dry
Federation of Pennsylvania are pre-
pairing bills TO rthe enforcement of
prohibition in this state.
The dry members of the Legisla-
ture, say there will be bill which
measure will give full power for in
vestigation and search of private
properties for concealed liqquor or
apparatus for distilling or brewing
and will provide severe penalties Tor
violation of it's provisions.
DIR. John Royal Harris, state SUI
perintendent of the Dry Federation
of Pennsylvania, issued a statement
urging all the dry members OF the
House of Representatives to be IN
their seats when the Nickerman
ratification resolution comes to a
final vote tomorrow morning. Dr,
Harris said: "On behalf of the Dry
Federation of Pennsylvania, L wash
to urge all the members of the lower
House of the Pennsylvania Legisla-
ture, who are favorable to the ratifi-
cation of tn enational prohibition
am endment to be in their seats Tues
day morning at 1880 o'clock. That
hour has been set for the final vote
on the Vickerman resolution and the
measure will certainly pass If all the
dry members are present to vote,
The dry forces are confident that
more than a majority of all the elect
ed members of the House are favor
able TO ratification. However. the
absence of q few might prevent the
104 votes required from being cast
Therefore, it is highly essential thai
every dry member be in his place
next Tuesday morning. If this occur.
there can be no doubt of favorable
action"

Peoples Forum yesterday afternoon

dean of Howard University, the
leading colored university of the

the nation with respect to the work
done for the Red Cross and other
war activities. lie spoke of the
vast amount of money they in
vested in bonds and war saving
stamps. their labor in the indus
trial establishments and munition
plants and paid a high tribute to
their patriotism.

the discrimination that was endur-
ed in this country during the war

make the world safe for democ-
racy" thus placing the scepter of
leadership in the hands of the peo-
pie where it rightly belong. Flo

home as it should be and while
the laws which should guarantee
to all the principles of the Declara-
ton of Independence and the con-
stitution of the United States We're
transgressed by the old principle
of states rights, yet no nation could
take as large part in the demo-
cratization of the world without,
in a short time, being brought to
realize it's injustice to a large part
of its own. population. ....
He urged the colored people to
renewed loyalty to the principles of
free government and declared in
unmistakable terms that their duty
was to give in the avenues of en-
ployment in which they engaged
the best service OF which they
We're capable having no right to
epect more of their employers than
they were willing to give in return.

ice for former President Roose-
