Doom, April l.--(By the Associat'

Victoria of Germany died at o'clock
this morning.
The end came just one year after
she suffered her first serious attack
of heart disease.
1t was while she was preparing to
enter the House of Doom, the present
home of the former Emperor Of Ger
many after her long resident at Amer
ongen that she was stricken with what
at the time was believed to be fatal

For a few days they were reports

william At Bedside.
Former Emperor William and
Prince Adelbert were at the bedside
when the former empress died. At
tacks of her fatal malady recurred al
intervals, each sapping her vitality
and multiplying the measures taken by
SPECIALISTS to restore her health.
When her son, former Prince Jochin'
committed suicide in Berlin last July
she was in such serious condition that
the news of his death was kept from
her for long time and 1t ,is stated
she never learned her son killed HIM
self.
Collapse of the Central Powers and
the vicissitudes of war that drove for
mer Emperor William Of Germany and
his consort into practical exile in Hol-
land in November, 1918, was the low
ering of the curtain in the life of the
once beautiful Empress and Queen ot
Prussia, Augusta Victoria who, for
nearly 40 years, had been the most
beloved hausfrau of the German peo-
ple. In the Netherlands, where she
and her husband resided first at Ame:-
ongen and then at Doom, tn former
Kaiserin's long continued illness was
made more grave by her yearning TO
return to Berlin and Potsdam. On sew
eral occasions, since her residence IN
Holland members of her family had
been summoned to her bedside in an
ticipation of her death, but she rallied
and survived.
Mother OF Six.
It is not known that she exercised
any considerable influence politically
or that she desired to do so. Her tai

to the task of becoming a helpful wife
and devoted mother to her six sons
and one daughter. That she achieved
this aim, the former emperor attested
frequently. He once described her as
"the ideal of the virtues of German
