unanimous.
f"The ex-kaiser is 'kaput' and he'd
better stay where he is. He will not
keep his head long II he crosses the
border into Germany again.
Alsations who have <been in the
German army felt that the Germans
were disliked on account OF the for

Hohenzollern family has changed
materially in the last month.
Formerly Germans would invari-

Now the feeling seems to have turned
entirely against the Hohenzolierns.
William is forsaken by the Ger

the world, or for sincere reasons.

cratic demonstrations and declare re-
publics on the steps Of the erestwhile
emperor's palaces.
