EN-kAlSER HEARS NEWS
OF FORTHCOMING TRIAL
AND RESUMES SAVING WOOD

Amerongen, Tuesday, June "a
News Of Germany's decision to
accept the peace terms, including
the clause providing for the deliv-
cry of the former German emper-
or TO the allies, reached the castle
late yesterday morning. Exactly
how the former emperor WIS af.
fected by the tidings cannot be as
certained, but the attitude of men,
bers of his party gives rise to the
belief that the news was a CON
siderable shock.
When the Associated Press cor.
respondent talked with attendants
they declared the news was known
already at the castle. They made
the most scathing criticisms of the
German national assembly for its
action. Evidently they had held
10 the hope that some way would
be found for the former emperor
TO return to Germany. Now, how.
ever. 1t apparently is realized that
he is eXiled forever from his coun-
try.
Ihe former monarch resumed
his customary g-sawing at the
usual hour.
