LIVES LONELY LIFE
Former Monarch Has Not Left Castle
Grounds in Past Nine
Weeks
LIVES LONELY LIFE

A9MERONGEN, March 8, (By the
Associated Press)-The' Dutch Gov
ernor of Utrecht, who has survei-
lance over the former German Emp
eror, visited the castle of Count Won
Bentinck last night, supposedly in
connection with the recent activities
of William Hohenzollern and German
officials who have visited him. Since
the publication in Holland of Assoc
lated Press dispatches telling of
these visits, the officials have ceased
to come here.
The former monarch has not gone
beyond the castle grounds in the nine
past weeks, and apparently has no
intention of moving to another loca-
ton, although many reports have
been current regarding the leasing of
castle at Hardenbroek, near Doom,
which belongs to another member of
the Order of St. John of Jerusalem.
The correspondent visited Harden
brock and found the castle mentioned
to be almost entirely unfinished
The only point in its favor is its
lonely position, mile from any 9TH
er habitation.
Herr Hohenzollern's attendants
also deny any intention of moving
and this is strengthened by further
precautions recently taken around
the Won Bentinck castle to shield its
guest from the public gaze. The rail
ed openings in the wall about the gar
den have been thickly boarded and
topped with barbed wire.
While the ex-Emperor performs his
daily tasks of three hours saving,
his wife strolls abount thes grounds,
mostly alone. The former ruler is
still engaged afternoons in replying
personally to thousands of letters of
! greeting received on the occasion OF
| his recent birthday. 1t is reported
that several efforts have been made
by his supporters to induce him to
return to Germany, but without sue
cess.
The German government apparent
ly continues to pay the salaries of the
former Kaiserin's servants, and even
makes arrangements for them to be
relieved at regular intervals, although
his staff is reduced and is much
smaller than hitherto. Court Cham
berlain Won Gontard continues his
functions as usual, still remaining q
state official under the orders of the
"H Hofmarschallamt," or Lord Cham
berlain's Office, in Berlin.
General Won Estorff, who has beer
in attendance upon his former imperi-
al master, left today for visit to
Germany, accompanied by the young.

HOLDS
RAILROADS UNTIL
RETURNED BY Law
Wants to Have Opportunity
to Study Permanent
Program
NO PRESENT RETURN
Not to Relinquish Control Until
Permanent Program Is
Adopted

WASHINGTON, March 3-Direct-
or-General Hines announced Friday
with the approval of President Will
son, that the railroads would not be
relinquished from government control
until there had been an opportunity
to see whether constructive perman-
ent program of Legislation was likely
to be adopted within reasonable
time"
The Administrations attitude was
stated in a letter sent by Mr.. Hines to
Senators Smith and Martin, chairmen,
respectively, of the Senate commit
tees on interstate commerce and ap-
preparations, and to Representatives
Sims and Sherley, chairmen of the
House committee on interstate and
foreign commerce and appropriations.
The letter follows:
GAS you are aware, there has been
some inquiry as to whether there
might be an immediate or precipitate
return of the railroads. to private
management. The railroad admins
tration has indicated whenever this
inquiry has been made that it would
not recommend any such step taken.
For your further information,
am glad to say that have now dis
cussed the matter with the President
and he has authorized me to state
that not only will there be no sudden
REIMBURSEMENT Of the railroads, but
further that it is not his purpose to
relinquish- the railroads until there
has been an opportunity to see wheth-
er a constructive permanent program
of legislation is likely to be consider
ed promptly and adopted within a
reasonable time"
Mr.. Hines discussed the matter at
the White House with the President
and it was the Presidents conclusion
that in view of the situation as it
stood it would not be advisable to
return the railroads to private owner
ship Immediately.
The Senate interstate commerce
committee held many hearings in an
effort to determine what should be
done with the roads and the House
commerce committee is expected to
consider the question promptly at the
beginning of the next session of
Congress.
It is understood that Mr.. Illness
announcement resulted from the de-
sire of the President and the railroad
administration to allay speculation as
to the date of the REIMBURSEMENT of
the railroads, which is said to have
affected the morale of railroad en-
ployes and financial conditions gener-
ally.
Former Director-GeneraI McAdoo
in suggesting the extension for five
years of the period of federal control
said that if such an extension were
not adopted he would advocate an
early REIMBURSEMENT of the railroads,
but set no date.

Daniels has written the American Asso-

THE Navy Department is not contem-

hand, We are contemplating legislation

Navy Department appreciates their SER
