completely mytisfied, but refrained speaking to anyone of the event. Several telegrams as well as tele- phone calls for the Kaiser had been received at the Castle the previous day and during the night. concluded that the All-Highest had gone to some place to see .,1d friends.
 Mystery Deepens.
 On the following morning, however, the mystery was deepened, and I had cause to be thankful that I had kept my counsel concerning the events of the previous night. Wilhelm did not appear as usual at breakfast with his --st ot Hymns; instead Dr. Foerster came and announced that his Majesty was i'll, and that he had advised that he should remain in bed.
 The Count was naturally rather concerned and during the day made inquiries as to the condition of his guest, always to be told that his Ma Jesty was sleeping or received some such reply. The Empress. too, did not leave her room until evening, when she joined the family at dinner. l thought that she appeared strained and nervous, but the meal passed without event The Empress re- tired early, end the house was locked up for the night, none having heard or seen anything of the Kaiser.
 It was shortly after midnight when l again heard the sound of a motor ear approaching the Castle, and inn mediately, I posted myself at one of the windows, determined to find out all that I could of the mysterious happenings. The car did not drive up to the front door of the Castle, but took a pathway leading to a door from which access could easily be obtained to the apartments occupied by the Kaiser. I left my post of ad- vantage and took up a position in the long, dark gallery, and waited.
 To my surprise, however, instead of seeing the Kaiser, as had expected, <, I saw two figures coming up the stairs towards my apeartments. Neither, to my amazement was the ex- Kaiser. In the dim light shed by a lamp which one of the men was carrying, I recognized the form of Dr. Rosen, while the man carrying g the lamp was .Dr. Forester
 The two were engaged in earnest convention, and passed within a yard Or two from the place where I was standing hidden, and I was able to act the part of -dropper.

cers regarding what had transpired His meals were served in a separate apartment, and without a further in- terview with the Kaiser he retired early for the night.
 Affecttonate Reunion.
 On the following day an interview, which lasted an hour, took place, and it must have been during this the Kaiser unwillingly placed his sigma ture to the document. Thus 1t was that Wilhelm of Hohenzollern, resist ing the inevitable to the last, re- nounced the throne of Prussia, and officially terminated his career as German Emperor.
 FaIkenhayn left the Castle hurried ly, bearing with him the precious document, and for two days the kai- ser refused to leave his apartments He was moody and dejected. refused food, and treated the members of his suite in the most brusque manner. Only Krausler appeared to have any influence over him. In this mans hands he became almost dociIe.
 The next surprise came when we were informed some little time later that the kaiserin would arrive ar Am erongen to join her husband. It was a bitterly cold morning when three motor cars were dispatched from the Castle to Maasbergen Sta ton. In these travelled Count Moltke, Count PIafen, Major HtrschIeid, Bentinck, and the Counts daughter. The Germans took with them a large quantity of luggage, and Maj. Hirsch- leid, bidding me farewell, told me that he ana the other officers were returning to Germany, since the Kali ser now had no further need of their services, and was going to live the life of a: private gentleman.
 During the absence of the cars, the Kaiser displayed the utmost impa- tience. He walked about the long gal lery of the Castle, and often peered through the windows looking out up- on the direction in which the Empress would come. At last over the flat roads the Kaiser saw the cars ap- preaching. Like a, schoolboy he came bounding down the stairs and hurried to the door. Before the man-servant could open it, the Kaiser had done so, and stood bareheaded in the bitter cold waiting.
 The first car in which were riding the Empress, Countess von Keller, and Count Bentincks daughter came quickly up the drive. Tie exfled non- arch rushed impetuously to meet it, and flinging open the door embraced the Empress affectionateIy. He assist ed her to alight from the car, and, ignoring the other ladies, placed his arm around her waist, and like a low CT led her into the Castle.
 It was a most touching scene. Tears of joy flooded WilheIm's eyes, while on the face of the Kaiserin was happy contented smile. The whole company, anxious not to in- trude in this happy reunion, stood back while Wilhelm and his consort entered the Castle, and proceeded to their apartments. One would never have credited the Kaiser, the Great War Lord, with such depths of hu- man feeling and affection.
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1919-10-22

It has been said that the Kaiser's
 life at Aherongen IS devoid Of incl
 dent. Such, however, if far from the
 case. While to all outward appear
 ances Wilhelm of Hohenzollern re-
 mains in seclusion, according to cor
 respondents of various neWspa pers,
 spends his days chopping wood, in
 reality he is one of the most busy
 men on earth.
 l do not think it would be possible
 for the Kaiser, possessing as he does
 6 most curious and active brain, to
 remain in idleness, or to devote his
 time to the mere saving of wood.
 The Kaiser at Amerongen has still
 the wish to bring about, if not his
 return to the throne of Prussia, al
 least to ensure that his sons shall
 occupy that exalted position. Even today, despite the Allies decision to place him upon his trial despite that he has signed his abdicatiOn, under circumstances which described in last weeks issue, he considers himself to ! be the ruler, of Germany, ordained by a body decree, for Wilhelm, like | Charles l. of England, believes in the divine right of Kings.
 One of the Kaiser's personal friends Df 1GOSei, IS often at AHerOnSen, clOseted with the eXiIed War Lord. Strict orders has been given that whenever pr. Rosen calls, no matter what the time, he is to be shown di- l rectly into WiIhelm's private apart ments, and that on no account are the l pair to be disturbed
 It is stated that Wilhelm has never i left the Castle since he arrived there on November Il last. That is not | quite accurate
 Early in December the Kaiser was greatly agitated, and the fits of tenn per which he suffers from at times, | when things are not going exactly as 1 they should be for the ex-War Lords | purpose, were becoming more and more frequent and more marked and l frequent. Wilhelm had spent a whole 1 day in prayer and fasting, and none ! dared to intrude upon his presence. 1 Even Krausler, the faithful servant,
 was banished.
 Late that evening I heard the sound of a motor car outside the l castle, and, looking from nay win i dow, I observed the figure of the ! Kaiser, wrapped in a long cloak, en- i ter the car, followed by KrausIer, who took his seat beside the driver The car sped away at a terrific pace, and was soon lost to sight. I was

both by telegram and telephone, as to her condition. Special couriers were constantly passing to and from Berlin, but whether theso men brought only messages concerning the kaiserin's condition Is 8 matter of considerable doubt.
 The German papers, which were received daily, and of which the Kali ser was a great reader, at this time, contained, of course, full accounts of the chaotic situation to which Ger many had been plunged, and consid- erable doubt was cast upon the gen uinness of the Kaiser's abdication. The Socialists were openly declar- ing that the abdication was a "fake,'' a declaration in which they were not very short of the truth.
 They were demanding the signing of Gt deed, which should be drawn up in Berlin by themselves, and an inti- nation was allowed to reach the Kaiser that unless he was prepared to sign such a document difficulties might possibly be put ir1 the way of the haiserin being allowed to join him at Amerongen, which, it was well known, was the keen desire of both husband and wife. There is little doubt that this particular pressure played an important part in inducing the Kaiser to genuinely abdicate, and at AmerOngen Castle on November 2S last year sign a documen ent, which had been drafted in Berlin, and then brought to Holland by Falkenhayn himself, who made a special jour ney for the purpose.
 When General Falkenhayn arrived at Amerongen on the morning of No vember 27, bearing the document, aI- though his visit came as a, surprise to us, it was evidently anticipated by the Kaiser. The officer was conducted to the Baiser's suite by Count PIaren, and the two were left together. They remained closted in the Kaiser's pri- vate room for a considerable time, and Major Hirschleid told me after wards that those who remained out side the apartment were at times ex- tremely nervous, since the Kaisers voice could be heard raised to a high pitch. F'aIsenhayn's task of placing this document, which was a legal ab- dication, was undoubtedly a very try ing and difficult one.
 q cannot and will never agree to this,'' the Kaiser was heard to say more than once
 Eventually F'alkenhayn, whose face was strained and drawn, left the Kali ser, who, refusing to take any food, for hours paced backward and for ward over the floor. The general re- fused to say a word to the other off

 The "specialist'' jumping from his seat, exclaimed, ''Is the Kaiser worse I will see him at once" He made his way into the hall. where he found himself confronted by a third man in civilian clothing, who eNcitedly shout ed 'Imposter.'
 The journalist then realized that his plot had failed, but putting bold face on the situation said, q do not understand. Who Is this man?"
 ''I am the specialist who was sum moned from Amsterdam" replied the stranger, mentioning his name. q can see the trick which has been played, Now I understand how st was that the tires of my car were all badly cut and burst, see the reason for the nails in the roadway. Scoun- drel,"

 By means of documents in the pos session of the second arrival was soon able to convince Dr. F'oerster and the other officers who were summoned that he was the genuine specialist, while the man who had first arrived was found in possession of num- Ger of cards, as well as letters, which proved him to be the representative of big American newspaper.

 The Kaiser was not found to be seriously i'll, his sufferings being at t1buted by the specialist 10 nervous ,strain. Gentle exercise was prescrib- ed, and acting upon this advice the Kaiser was induced to undertake the saving of wood blocks, a pasime which for many weeks was an obses- sion with him. Under this treatm ent there can be no doubt that the Kai- ser's health, both mentally and phy- sically, improved.
 It is not generally known how 1t was that the Kaiserin came to join her husband in exile. Her Majesty was lying seriously i'll in Berlin, and he Kaiser was continually inquiring
