The Kaiser will enter the Tower
by the famous Traitors Gate"
wide archway opening directly on
the Thames. 1t was by this gloomy
water passage that State prisoners
of the past entered the Tower, some
of the most notable being Sir Thom-
as More, Anne Bo,eyn, Lady Jane
Gcey, and the Duke Of Monmouth.
The site of the scaffold where all
these. and many others including
;hc Early Of ESSEX, Catherine How
a ard Lord Hastings were behca"-
od can stiil be seen, and has been
bv many thousands of OR country
men. Pared BY order of Queen Vic
toria it is close to Tower Green and
also to the gloomy Chapel Of ST:
Peter and Vincula, where most Of
the celebrated persons executed AT
:i1 Towers were buried. Well does
! Naculay say of the chapel cemetery:
In truth there is no sadder spot On
earth than this
! Field Marshal Sir Evelyn Wood,
one of the oldest and most distln-
| guished o. British soldiers, as con-
stable OF the Tower, would become
the official custodian of the EX-
Kaiser. Neither the constable nor
the lieutenant of the Tower, Sir Ian
Hamilton, resides at the Tower,
/ however. and unless either should
take up quarters in the building es-
pecially for this important occasion,
the actual iailor of William Hohen-
zollen would be the major and re-
sident governor. Major General Hen
ry Pipon. Gen. Pipon, who is 76 and
! a native of Jersey, has been major
of the Tower since 1909. He has long
and distinguished service to his Gre
dit for, entering the Royal Artillery
in 1861 he served in Canada during
the Fenian raid and in the Royal
Horse Artillery during the Afghan
campaign of 1S79-1S81, and the sub
sequent operations at Kabul. He was
an adjutant in the Royal Artillery
in the historic march to .Kandahar
and fought brilliantly in the great
battle which followed, emerging
from the campaign with a medal
with three clasps and bronze star
and three mentions in dispatches. In
1900-1901 he commanded the detach-
ment of Royal Artillery Of China
field force, and was again decorated
and mentioned in dispatches.
The Tower of London seemed and
was, an anarchronism until the great
war, when its constable received in
to his keeping Karl Lody, the Kais-
er's chief spy, and later Sir Roger
and traitor Many other secret
agents of the Wilhelmstrasse and
the German admiralty also were
imprisoned at the Tower, and most
/ of them ended their terrestrial ca
reers there at the hand of a British
firing party.
Thus "Teutonic atmosphere"
may be said to have been created at
the grim old Tower in advance of
the anticipated arrival there of the
Ex-Kaiser and the other German
criminals responsible during the war
for specified atrocities by land, sea
and air. The principal of these latter
include the following: Baron Won
der Lancken who was concerned in
the signing of the death warrants
of Nurse Cavell and Capt. Fryatt;
Gen. Won Hanisch, Gen Won DIESEL
and Major Bach and Won Gortz, who
were primarily responsible for the
torture of British military and civil
ian prisoners of war. Included among
these prisoners were hundreds OF
women and children. The infamous
brothers, Niemeyer, who at Claustal
and Holzminden camps, respectively,
prepetrated heartless outrages
