FORMER KAISER, HARD UP, FORCED TO
 ECONOMIzE.

London. Nov. 22.-The ex-Kaiser is ''hard up." His court marshal official ly says so and, in a statement issued by him at his residence at Doorn points out the unfavorab1e condition of the former Emperor'S exchequer.
 Owing to the fact that all the prop critics of the Hohen2ollern family in cluded in the private fortune of the e---Kaiser and o,ner members of the Imperial family. have been, seized by the Prussian government and that the negotiations between the Crown and the state have not yet been success fully concluded. the ex-Kafser, he says. is obliged to live on money for warded from Germany, for which he must first get Dutch gulden.
 The ex-Kaiser. who, notwithstand- ing the low rate of the mark, shows great interest in charitable institu- tions in Germany as well as in Hol- land, continues the statement, sees himself compelled to economize as much as possible and to decline re- quests reaching him from Germany asking for relief.
 As a fitting and suitable climax to this the Dutch papers learn that ten members of the staff at Doorn will be dismissed at the end of the month.
