, I took up waiting position near the garden wall. l had taken my cam era with me- A few minutes later a shrilI whistle rang out and Dutch police began closing in round the garden and two of them made a bee line for me but only stood by and did not interfere. Then two men appeared in the garden, the eX-Kaiser my camero for a snap and just at the very moment had the stro1lers care fully focused fat Dutch hand closed over my lens and held the machine tight. All I could do was to gaze at the two men walking in the gar den. They were less than 20 yards from me.
 The ex-Kaiser today is a changed man. He no longer wears that look of severity that formerly character ized him and has given up waxing his mustache. He has the air of a happy-go-1ucky man. He carries a heavy beard and wears a heavy Nor folk tweed suit and big, high legged brown boots. Daily he makes the same trip around the gardens. talking to his gardners and the builders who are erecting outhouses.
 As discreet as are the people of Doorn they often make remarks which show that their feelings are to- ward their unwelcome guest. They consider that the EX-KaiSer sur rounds himself with far too many walls and gates But that which hurts them most is to see the wanton de- struction of the beautiful trees in the park, Wilhelm himself often helping to cut them down.
 Returning to his apartments about g o'clock in the morning the Elk Kaiser shuts himself up in his study to read and write. After lunch he takes another stroll around the grounds.
 Since the death of his wife the Ex- Kaiser receives no one except his aide de camp. Events in his former monarchy interest him but little and he would be content to live on un- disturbed, according to views express ed by his immediate entourage.

"'What'S the Matter
With The WOrId?''
After Analysing Various Phases of Exist
ing Business and Financial Conditions, a
Clear Thinker and decisive Writer Offers
a Simple Answer

a Simple Answer
(Contjnued from yesterdays AU5S.)
When our rich farm lands climb up to
5000 to $500 per acre, some people
thought that just so much wealth was
added to the country. AS a matter OF
fact, nothing Of the kind happened. The
land at $500 per acre in 1920 is the same
land as it wa at SITS in 1913, with this
one difference: that is, the mortgages
which went along with the transfer OF
deeds. The thing that caused the jump
was the dressed hogs and cattle, and the
wheat travelling from America to Europe,
because the people over there, ordinarily
growing and entertaining their oV'n pork
ers. were busy fighting and killing their
own kind. Now that the fighting is
over. having spent even their credit
in fireworks, the people must deny them
selves the company of the American
norker. The cause of the land value
elevation having been removed. the in
evitable is happening: the settling OF
land values. But what became OF the
$500 per acre or the $75 per acre, Of
which the woefulIy swollen mortgages
are witnesses? Well, of course, the
vast majority Of farms did not change
hands. In such instances all toe land
sdvance' was pure sunshine, except as
a basis for increased taxation to soethe
war debts hurts. Where they did
change hands the only buttons made
went TO the professional farm land trad
ers ia their Offices, VINO merely played
one sucker against another for a com
mission" For the ''buttons' these
'hard-working" spectators gave to the
new owner a deed, which the new
owner may keep until his notes come
due. To the former owner the accom-
modating go-between gave some money,
and a mortgage on his former farm. For
this mortgage the holder will get more
or less money, depending on how long he
lives. how much good luck the new own
err has; or, in case Of iii luck, on how
much the land will bring at a forced
sale. some time in the future.
Much the same thing is true as to live
stock. Tie writer attended a dairy cat
tie auction in October of this year. He
saw one COW, for which as a helfer he
saw the owner pay $3.50 in 1917. sell for

What our old world has got to learn IS
this: the world, including America, is no
richer in November, 1920, than it was
in November, 1913. On the contrary, it
is fully $3.50, 900, 600, 900 poorer. People
by the tens of thousands thought that
they were immensely richer. So con
