THE EX-KAISER'S FINANCES.
He Has q Good Sum in Cash and
Large Holdings of Real Estate.

Amerorgen, June 14.-The former
German Emperor has been discussing
his financial problems for more than
a week with Doctor J. Kriege, who
has been in charge of the imperial
estates and funds in Germany since
the Hohenzoilern abdication.
Dr.. Kriege, one of the former Ger
man functionaries of the German
Foreign Office, has been here in COM
ference with Herr Hohenzollern when
the latter was not engaged in wood
saving. The Marshal Of the German
Emperor's court, Won Gontard, also
participated in the discussion.
The former Emperor is not short
of money, as he possessed consid-
cradle amount on deposit in Holland
before war began. This was added
to apprecably while hostilities were
in progress. During the few stirring
weeks preceding his abdication Will
liam and his followers transferred
further large sums in ready cash.
But William is troubled as to the
fate of his real estate. He possessed
no fewer than fifty-fiye castles, hunt
ing boxes and country seats scatter
ed over the Empire. The revenues Of
these properties are for the present
at least in the hands Of the new gov
ernment, which hitherto has paid
from their proceeds all Herr Hohen-
zollern's bills, forwarded to Berlin for
settlement. Tese ACCOUNTS have been
quite formidable as the Imperial ref
ugee is called upon to pay for every
thing he consumes, as well as for his
accommodation and the upkeep of his
suite, besides paying the wages Of
the gardeners and domestics of the
Bentinck estate who render him SER
vices while wood-cutting or in the
household.
The expenses of the Dutch guard
of Gendarmes on duty around the cas-
tie also fall on the Hohenzollern
purse.
The German governments inten-
tions concerning the former Emperors
private fortune cannot be CLEANED
here. Germans recently from the
Fatherland declare there is great
deal of purely personal sympathy for
William among all classes and that 1t
is likely he will receive large por-
tion of the value Of what he owned.
They say it Is probable that most Of
the castles and country houses will
be sold and the cash result paid to
Williams account, but a number of
them may be retained as government
property to be used for the purpose
of local government headquarters.
This they consider an equitable ar
rangement which will not deprive
the ex-monarch of his rights as a
private citizen as, they believe, would
be the case if his property were con-
fiscated.

Some of the papers were printed and
mailed before the error was discover
ed, and it happened that these first
papers went to Clio. The type was
changed for the rest of the papers;
but the fates had fixed it for our
good friend, Col. ]. Thomas Stanton,

Fortunately Col. Stanton is not

that our appellation was untrue.
We offer our profuse apologies to
Col Stanton and the ladies. In the

GOOD READING FOR ALL TASTES
WHAT GOES ON
ACROSS THE BORDER
IL Is Revealed in Chamber,
lain'S NoueL About Con
ditions in Mexico

If any one can read George Agnew
Chamberlain Mexican novel. "Not All
the Kings Horses" without having his
blood boil with indignation, his tenn
permanent must be exceptionally stolid
and Indifferent.
It's a tale of the experiences of some
Americans in charge of mining enter
prise in Mexico 1t begins in the years
when Diaz was still president. Two en-
gineers secure mine which had been
abandoned in the days when modern
methods of extracting gold we're not in
vented. They make it profitable by the
use of chemicals. One of them builds
for himself a house near the mine, sur
rounding it with n garden and furnish
ing it with the comforts and convent
ences of civilized life. His children
grow up there Then the change comes.
Diaz leaves the country and Madero
succeeds to the presidency. This little
dreamer sits in his Office chair, which is
so high that his feet will not reach the
floor, stretching his weak hands across
his desk. lie is killed and chaos be-
gins
The American whose home is near
the mine is driven out by bandits and
his wife is parayzed by the shock. The
other American is kidnapped and held
for ransom. His ring finger, cut off by
n stroke of a dirty sword, is sent along
with his letter to his friends telling the
amount needed to free him. GangCenc
sets in and he dies in great agony.
While this is going on representations
are made to the government in Wash
ington. but nothing is done to protect
Americans in Mexico. Instead they are
told to come home. Some of them obey,
but they drift back where their money
is invested in the hope that they can
continue to carry on their business But
the kidnappings and murders go on and
the Mexicans disregard the diplomatic
notes from Washington. The Mexican
officials themselves, according to Mr..
Chamberlain. are in secret league with
the bandits. They pay some one higher
up for their office. and they reimburse
themselves from the spois of the ban
'ditry. If they suppress the bandits
they suppress their own source of in
come and the whole system would col
lapse. The government rests on pro-
teCted banditry. according to Mr.. Cham
berlain He is in a position to know,
for he served as consul general in Mex
leo City from 1917 until recently. He
speaks Spanish and is not dependent on
others for his knowledge of the Mexi-
can point of view or the Mexican prac-
tces. Ho has seen the thing in opera
ton.
