H-kA|SER AND WIFE
BEGIN HONEYMOON
At DOORN CASTLE.
Wedding Sunday Witnessed
by Only Twenty-Eight
GuestS-Bride Is Called
''Your Majesty

DOORN, Nov. 6.-tBy the Asso-
ciated Press.)-The former German
er1ueror and his bride. Princess
Hermine of Reuss, began their
honeymoon today with no place 10
go. They were married yesterday
ar the House of Doom where the
one.time kaiser spends his hours
in exile and there they remain TO-
day.
The ceremonies that united them'
both civil and religious, were wit
messed by % guests and were kept
from The sight of the villagers OIL
Doom and q host of correspondents
and camera men with secrecy
that was both studied and mysterl-
Gus.
10 the twenty-eight who partook
of ;be wedding repast, William was
still His Majesty" and Hermine
was Her Serene Highness." VIII
liam addressed her as Your Ma
jesty'' but to many of the gamins
and the curious groWn-ups VINO
peeked through the gate and the
hedges at the bridal party as they
entered and left the gate lodge OF
the estate where the civil cere-
mony was performed, William was
just poor unfortunate target for
quips and boos.
But those on the inside also had
laugh on those who could not
get in. AS a joke on the curious
they considered it nothing short OF
colossal the way Princess Ida, sis
ter of the bride, had successfully
posed as Hermine at the Amersfort
station Saturday evening when
fleet of fine automobiles led every
one to think that Williams fiancee
had arrived. Meanwhile Hermine
had left the train at Apeldoorn and
gone unobserved to her future
home.
Some Of the devout Sabbathtari-
an villagers thought it was simply
awful that the exile of Doom Sc
lected Sunday as his wedding day.
And not a few of them looked with
dsfavor upon him becoming bride
groom within 10 months after the
death of the woman who shared
his glories and his sorrows, the for
mer Empress Augusta Victoria.
Several of the children OF that
first union saw their father mar
red yesterday, but the wife OF tine
former crown prince did not ac-
company her husband to Doom, as
the nuptials met with her disap-
| proval.
William began his wedding day
with breakfast at 9 o'clock. Soon
the guests began to arrive. At 11:30
the civil ceremony was started in
lodi Il
the night. The register signed and
other details cared for, the wedding
party went up the winding path to
the castle where the religious cere-
mony was Immediately carried out
in the main hall. Then came a re-
ceptiOn in the smoking room, fol-
:, lowed by lunch at which the bride
groom and the Bride sat at the head
of an oblong table. e
William wore the full dress uni
form of the imperial guards. From
both castle and lodge the black
and white Hohenzollern banner flut-
tered. But beyond the limits of the
estate no manifestations of popular
rejr:nng were to be seen or heard.
FCHNER WAR LORD BLOCKS
SPECIAL CORRESPONDENTS
LONDON, Nov. 6.--(By the Asso-
ciac cd Press).-A feature of the spe-
cal dispatches from Doom on the
wedding of former Kaiser Wilhelm
and Princess Hermine is their dis
agreement in many details, indcat-
ing that the writer's were dependent
largely on unverifiable gossip. For
instance, some describe the former
emperor as wearing field gray uni
form. others the scarlet uniform OF
the Potsdam guards, while still 9th
ers declare that he was in the at
tire of an admiral. The descriptions
of the brides dress differ similarly,
some describing a costume of mauvc
while other assert that the material
was pink wolfe.
{, All reports go to prove that the
former war lords efforts to block
curiosity were in the main success
full, and there is general concur
renee as to the noisy levity of the
crowds that gathered around the
house Of Doom and the exclusion of
the newspaper correspondents. Fa.
nilar British soldier songs were
sung, mingled with shouts of Hello
Bill" and similar expressions as the
curtained cars We're observed taking
the couple and the guests from the
gate house to the castle for the re-
licious ceremony.
The Daily News correspondent
saws that Pastor VogePs sermon was
largely composed by the kaiser
declaring:
"The voice was the voice of Vo
gel. but the message in the sermon
was in effect the kaiser's indirect
,,apoIogia for his new marriage. He
discussed on Saturday not only the
main line of the sermon, but sc
gossip says, suggested the phrasing
of the vital passages. 1t was 6
pledge to monarchistic Germany
particularly to the offended womer
of Germany that the new marriage
did not imply disloyalty to the dead
empress.
zone sentence was:

loving people. She was the ideal o.
Christian German womanhood; tine
