 Doorn Holland, November 1.-The former German Emperor and Prin- cess Hermlne of Reuss will be pro nouncsd man and wife tomorrow morning by the burgomaster of Doorn, Baron Schimmel Pennik, In the presence of six witnesses, two of them Germans, domiciled in Hol- land. and soon afterward Court Chaplain Yogel will give the benedic- tine of the Lutheran rite to the union.
 The wedding. which Is officially described as the first being celo- brated in the close family circle, will take place in Williams rural retreat, Doorn house, amid charming wood land scenery.
 The war lord. who. despite his ab- dication, still clings to the empty titles of Emperor and King, will be surrounded by the principal members of his family aud old friends. Ills eldest son, Frederick William, who likewise is in exile in Holland, has abandoned his first opposition to his fathers second marriage and the for mer Emperor's brother, Prince Henry, is known to have advocated for long time remarriage. on the ground that continued loneliness after the death of the former Elm press IS months ago would inevitably tend to affect him mentally.
 Reporters Excluded The bridegroom's daughter-in- law, Princess Cecelie, is almost alone in maintaining distinctly hostile att titude to the new matrimonial ven- ture of the ex-Emperor and she is Inc o ha a a Dnnrn Until this evening William had been adamant in withholding all in formation concerning his marriage. Written application for an interview elicited a typewrItten reply on pa per embossed Court Marshal's Of- flee of His Majesty, Emperor and King William H." stating:

 The court" officials took the pub lie into it's confidence as to the general program. Count Ven Moltke, the marshal. issuing an official state ment of details.
 The statement which refers to William as His Majesty" and to Hernine as Her Serene Highness," sets forth shat the civil marriage will take place at 1f:30 o'clock in the lodge gate building. at the en- trance to Doorn house. and the re- ligious ceremd ny at noon in the hall of the castle.s the latter event to be followed by "a simple repast"

 Has New Saw.
 Of late the ex-Kaisers daily log saving has been expedited by the introduction of a new circular saw which he can operate single-handed. Now, however, the new saw Is lying idle and William goes hunting, blaz- ing away at anything on wings. Even small birds present a target. He takes pleasure in extremely rapid shooting.
 It would seem reasonable to ex- pect some local celebrities to attend the wedding Of so prominent a mem Der of the community but the ex- Kaiser is not popular with the Dutch villagers. Furthermore, the social life lacks that casual unbending of the conventions which features more democratic countries.

The fact that he em- ploys German labor by preference also. is a subject fer much adverse comment.
