and, after due consideration, felt it my duty 10 go straight to Count Ben tlnck with it. Unfortunately, the Count was not well enough to leave his bed that morning owing to a se- were cold which he had contracted, so l was obliged to impart the informa- tion to his son, Count Carlos He questioned be closely on many points, but expressed no opinion. After l had finished my story he bade me re- main silent, and for some days it appeared that there was no devel- opment in the situation.
 The officers who had come to visit the Kaiser took their departure very shortly after midday, and after they had left the Castle the old quiet life was resumed. Very little was seen ot the Kaiser, who appeared to be de voting himself to writing in his owr apartment. When the weather was fine, he would, with the ex-Kaiserin spend an hour or so 1T, walking ahou- the garden, but always before Iun.
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1919-11-04

And the Kaiser will he return soon?' I asked innocently.
 ''The Kaiser is wise," he replied admiringly; wiser than are thous- ands of his subjects He will not re- turn until the time is ripe"
 referred to the possibility of the Allies demanding the trial of the ex- Kaiser, and this demand might be Incorporated in the peace terms, at which the Prussian heartily laugh ed.
 That is funny he said. "To try the Kaiser! Of what crime? The War Lord has committed no crime, save that of defending the Fatherland
 gainst a world of enemies, and when he could do that no longer he heeded the words of his enemies and
 eft his people to make a peace with hose enemies"
 l thought, despite the mans laugh ter that he was inwardly highly in- dignant at my suggestion. Neverthe- less, I pursued the topic, and referr- ed to the complaints of alleged breaches of the recognized usages ot war for which the Kaiser was re- garded by the Allies as being respon- sible.
 'I have heard" I said, that the Allies are in possession of a number of documents which the Kaiser sign ed, and which authorize the use o1 poison gas and the torpedoing ot merchant ships.'' The German stared at me in amaze. ment.
 You have heard that?' he ask. ed. What is the Source of your in. , formation?"
 q was told in London" I replied evasively, at which he blurted out Where the liars reside permanently and manufacture statements. Tn. Allies possess no genuine documents They cannot have a single genuin. | one."

 "Why?"
 "Because all the documents have
 He stopped abruptly, as though suddenly he remem bered that he had said too much. Tt is strange" he went on at length after the fatel pause whoch had conveyed so much, ''it is strange that the Allies should make so determined an attempt to prove the Kaiser a criminal. I can tell you quite frankly why the Allies have no documents signed by the Kaiser ordering the things which you say he ordered. No such documents ever existed; the Kaiser never knew what the army leaders intended to do. "Come,' he said, picking up his wine glass. Surely we have talked long enough for one night. Tomorrow l am leavin Amerongen ear1y.''
 I Report My Suspicious.
 After the Prussian had left me I sat for hours puzzling over his words. His unfinished sentence regarding the documents signed by the Kaiser, his obvious agitation when I men, toned the facts to him, aroused my suspicious, and I endeavored to com- plete his unfinished sentence. Be cause they all have" I kept repeat ing to myself. There were to my mind only two satisfactory ways off inish- ing that sentence. Because they al have been destroyed" and "Because they have all been brought here, and are now in the Kaiser's keeping" Was it possible that the Kaiser had made his nocturnal journey for the purpose of recovering many docu- ments which would incriminate him Was 1t possible that the package thai he clutched on his return contained l those documents? The grey dawn was breaking when, with the problem stil unsolved, I turned to bed.
