PARIS, Feb. Awhile France and
England are pickering over what rep
arations Germany must pay, and
whether Germany can pay or not,
the German Government has been
paying reparatlons by the millions to
William Hohenzollern and his kith
and kin.
Already Germany has paid to the
exiled kaiser at least S9,i4000O Of
which there is official record The
total may greatly exceed this amount,
for it is generally accepted that more
millions have been smugglcd across
the Holland border to the Hohenzol-
lern Golfers.
The criticism in France is echoed
In the mutterings from the undarfed,
underpaid, taX-burdened toilers OF
Germany,
The legal committee OF the Prussian
Assembly recently demanded Of the
Prussian finance minister that he give
an accounting OF the sums paid HOh
cnzollorn since ne fled TO Holland.
These sums were reported by him as
follows:
January, 1919 recommendations .O00
August, 1919 ............... 725 600
Since then about s5oo0Oo more has
been paid to him as proceeds from
land in Wilhelmstrasse. Berlin.
on top of this came the revelations
brought about by a red-hot speech
by former Chancellor Herman Mueller.
who charged that several banking
firms had smuggled about s5.000,0O0
out Of the country.
He said among the recipients were
eX-Crown Princess Celelie, Princess
Eitel Friedrich and August Wilhelm.
and the suicide. Prince Joachim.
The finance minister said that
cases against the banking firms were
pending. The courts cleared the Ho-
henzollerns Of the chancellor's
charges.
Figures from Doom show William
HohenZ0llern is paying tax 10 HOl-
land on an income of S650.000 a year.
which would indicate that he admits
having a fortune Of Si3O000O.
Recently the ex-Crown Prince Fred
erick William expressed 10 as his
dearest wish" that he should retain
the castle Of Bauberg, the Marble Pal
nee at Poisdam and the feudal Terri
tory Of Gels an estate 0f about 25.OO0
acres valued al si.500.O0O.
Herr Heilmann Socialist denuty.
pointed out 10 the assembly that by
the terms Of the trust deed the land
was to be held ''hv the crown prince
Of the time" but he argued as there
was now no crown prince. 10 reverted

Stanley, Of the Moose, winning the
first half Of the match by the score
Of 30 to i6. Ollie Higgins, Of the

JESS ADMITS HE'S CHANGED
BY DEAN SNYDER.

BY the calendar Jess Willard is a
year and six months older than when
he lost his crown.
By his face he has aged more.
And II is the age which comes all
in a moment-not by the clock.
Jess lived more years in the few
minutes he spent In the ring with
Dempsey at Toledo than he had ever
lived before.
The memory OF those terrible min
utes are to be credited with the pres
ent lines in his face.
I'm a changed man." says the VIII
lard OF today.
And he looks Il.
I'm bigger than ever" he says.
He looked that, too.
y wanted money the last time /
fought"
He doesn't need ft now.
I'll be fgnting to get my crown
back this time"
There's the difference between the
Willard OF a year and a half ago and
now.
When he came 10 Toledo he thought
like scores OF his friends-he was
too big to be knocked out. He figured
Dempsey would 90 down under his
slow sledgehammer drives. He wasn't
serious.
ITS prde-not money-that brings
me back, says Jess.

been misiudged
Dempsey hit me in a clinch when
! broke clean That beat me.
1T viii be different this time"
This is the philosophy which VIII
lard has worked out after a year and
a half spent in meditation.
He has sought the comeback trail
among the Kansas sunflOwers.
And the serious Willard is beinc
