OF the past.
Some OF the men have not caught
more than Ave fish this season. while

the fishermen have placed their nets

THREATEN LIFE
 OF THE KAISER

Amerongen, Netherlands, April 2S- There was excitement and alarm at the Bentinck castle today when the mail brought two violently worded letters to the former German Elm peror William and almost simultane- ously a telegram was received warn ing him of an attempt to be made on his life.
 The sixteen armed military police men provided by the Dutch govern ment at its own expense to guard the person of the fallen monarch were quickly mustered. Those off duty were reused from their sleep and re- ceived orders to patrol the grounds of the castle carrying loaded carbines. This watch was continued throughout the night, much to the discomfort of the Dutch gendarmes who would be delighted to learn that Herr .Hohen- zollern had decided to seek shelter in another land.
 Despite all the precautions taken to guard him, it is evident that there is frequent if not constant apprehen- sion that some person might yet ob=
 tain entrance to the ground of the castle by stealth or subterfuge and at tack the former Emperor.
 To ward off such a possibility, the steward of the estate has been given the daily task of making a thorough
 search of the grounds before the erst- while ruler sets his foot therein on his daily journey to the woodshed. The sanctuary of William II. has I become a. prison without being called ] by that name and within its walls he spends much of his time in an effort
 to avoid comparison of his present l position with his former greatness. l There seems to be small chance
 that he will seek another refuge When he came to Holland he, un' doubtedly, harbored the relief that | his sojourn here would be brief an6 1 that his former subjects soon would l recall him but thus far no whisper 1 has come for him to return. He
 seems not to be wanted in Germany but the Hollanders are now hoping
 for his speedy departure as they are l beginning to feel that his presence 1 here is having a bad effect on theil relations with the rest of the world | Arrangements are being made a Count Bentinck'S castle for the con tinued sojourn of the German guest
 Whether the Entente nations will in l tervene and disturb the plans canno be foreseen.

CAPTURE
 STRATEGIC POINT
Taking of OIonetz Has I'm portant Effect on Allied
 Position.

Helsingfors, April 2s-A national assembly has been formed at Olonetz, 110 miles northeast of Petrograd where the Films have driven out the Bolsheviki. The town was captured, according to reports, by volunteer troops.
 The capture of Olonetz by forces opposed to the BoIsheviki may result in an important effect on the Allied position along the Murmansk rail- way and, through it, on the situation in the ArchangeI region. For sev- eral weeks allied forces commanded by General Maynard have been press ing southward along the Murmansk railway and were last reported ap- preaching Povienetz. at the northern end of Lake Omega. From Povienez the Murmansk railway swings vest ward and before 1t reaches the south eastern edge of Lake Iadoga, ii comes within a few miles of Olonetz.
 A Stockholm report Sunday said that a revolt had broken out in Olo- metz, and the Bolshevik forces fac ing General Maynard may be cut off if the anti-Bolshevik advance from OIonetz If the Murmansk railway line can sbe cleared as far south aa Olonetz, the Allies will be in position to outflank the Bolsh eviki south of Archange1, who are also threatened by the Siberian advance in the Vitka region.
