LONDON PAPER TELLS OF RE-
MARKA5LE ATTEMPT MADE
BY 10 ARMY MEN.

London. - The Daily Express pub
fishes remarkable story of how 10
American officers in two automobiles
attempted and almost succeeded in
kidnapping William Hohenzollern, the
former German emperor, from his re-
treat at Amerongen, Holland,
One Of the most remarkable feat
ngs of the story is that the ex-kaiser
sent word that he was willing TO go
with the Americans If shown a safe
conduct to the American headquarters
and If given q written guarantee that
he would not be shot en- route.
The author Of the story says that he
obtained it from two Of the American
officers just before he left Paris for
London and he says that later he
verified the story from another
source.
According TO the story, the kidnap'
ing was planned at New Year din
ner on the night Of January 4, at
tended by young American officers,
all below the grade Of captain. The
town occupied by the Americans II
ia said that the plan was started by
young lieutenant from Southern
state who arose and declared.
"There's only one thing wrong with
this mans army. II hasn't got the
kaiser"
A little man, who made q reputa'
ton as a flgter in the Argonne forest,
Immediately suggested that those
present 90 and bring the kaiser.
Just to show tha, we've cleaned
up the last bit Of war garbage" he
added.
Inside an hour, 10 Of the officers
present had volunteered to 80 on this
wild mission, which II was declared
would be "the greatest stunt since
