THE KAISER is PEEvISH

William Hohenzollern, the former
German Emperor, has grown very
surly and rarely speake a word to
his men servants and guards, ac-
cording to the Mails correspondent
at Amerongen.
His last recorded remark made a
few days ago, when he said that his
"time at Amernongen was nearly
up" it is said. His wife, on the
other hand, maintains a cheerful
disposition and shows an interest in
the welfare Of the people living near
the castle where she is living.
The correspondent says:
''The former emperor is being
gradually deserted by everyone, he
receives practically no visitors, and
his former voluminous correspond
ence has become very small"
