 The fact that Iatterly the ex-Katser has spent much of his time in writing has doubtless been responsible for the statement that he is keeping a diary of events. Such, however, is far from the case.
 The ex-Kaiser Is certainly not one of those who, like many Germans today, is addicted to the habit of making notes of events. Nor is he writing a book Wilhelm has a mass of cores pondence, which he will allow no one, not even his trusted secretary, Count Contard, to attend to. Like any or dinary person, he writes his own let ters, places them in envelopes, and seals them down, invariably using brilliant red wax which bears the inn pression of the Imperial German Eagle
 The ex-Kaiserin, on the other hand, is certainly keeping a diary, and in this book, which l have seen lying on the table of her apartment, the ex-Empress records the small details of her life, as well as the more inn pol tS1ALI 4I1ClutI1As7- l lie JCbFAy W HIGH IS bound in stout leather covers. border ed with brass, fastens with a lock, and the key is never allowed to be taken from a small gold chain which the ex-Kaiserin wears round her neck.
 If the diary which the Royal exiIs so industriousIy keeps should ever be published, it will be found to contain many deeply interesting matters, and T which today are shrouded in mystery.
 During the absence from Ameron- gen of Count Carlos, Dr. Rosen paid the ex-Kaiser a visit. and remained over night at the Castle. On the morning that he took his departure Count Carlos returned, and with him arrived a. mysterious stranger, whom I discovered later was a high official of the Netherlands Government. Dr. Rosen's car was drawn up at the en- trance to the Castle as the car con- taining Count Carlos and the stranger arrived. The Count and his guest entered the library, and sent a mes senger to Count Gontard. the ex-Kai- l ser's secretary, intimatng that an audience of the Kaiser was requested. !
 ''He Will Remain
 That events of the greatest import ! ance were about to take place, felt ] confident. Count Gontard came down ! the stairs from the Royal apartment l and entered the library; carefully 1 closing the door behind him. He was i only in the room matter of ten i minutes before the door again open | ed, and the Count, leading the way, | conducted the mysterious stranger up | the main staircase to the ex-Kaisers | apartment, where Dr. Rosen was with ] the fallen War Lord.
 The two men entered the room, l and the audience with the ex-Ka iser ] lasted for more than an hour. Count 1 Carlos and Count Bentinck were sum- moned to the apartment during that time, and they remained until the 1 close of the interview. leaving with the stranger, who remained at the | Castle to luncheon. The meal was served in the family dining room, and during the course of it I overheard the unknown visitor remark, Tho position is an extremely difficult one. The Government is determined that our laws shall be respected
 Count Bentinck made some reply I could not hear. and the stranger observed, Pending further arrange ments, he will have to remain. ] think the problem will settle itself The law is quite clear. We deeply regret the inconvenience which you nave been caused, count.
 It was unfortunate, from my point of view, that I was not able to remain long in the room, and that the con- versation was conducted in an under tone. The stranger left early that afternoon, but Dr. Rosen remained for som etine with the ex-Kaiser. was walking In the grounds shortly after the departure of the Dutch Min tster when I suddenly came across ~ FTTI- tary was exceedingly polite to me, and I thought that he went out of his way to convey information to me
 You will perhaps be surpTised," he said, ''when I tell you that the Kaiser has decided to take up his abode permanently in Holland. ahd is even now discussing with pr. Rosen the prospects of his being able to purchase a suitable residence. He will not willingly leave this delightful Province of Utrecht
 I wondered why it was that the man was so anxious to impart this in formation to me, but good fortune served me a few moments later, and I thought Count Gontard suspected me, and was anxious to bluff me.
 I was passing the Royal apartment, whi 7l the ex-Kaiser and Dr. Rosen had j,st left, and were making their way downstairs. Wilhelm had left the door of his private library open, and a large window Immediately op- posite the door was also wide open.
 Important Discovery.
 As passed the room I glanced in. The table and the floor were filtered with papers, and one document caught by the draught came flutter- ing to my feet in the hall. It was a small paper = an ordinary piece of note paper-and on it were closely written lines. I picked it up. and glanced at il. Obviously it was part of a hastily scribbled note The top of the page bore the Roman numerals "II.,'' and the wording ran:
 "s remain obdurate. Especial ly does this apply to the British Prime Minister and the French. With the U. S. 1t is different There may be some possibility of avering it with the U.
