Associated Press The former Ger
man Emperor, once all-highest of the
empire, and Princess Hermine of
Reuss were married to-day at the
House of Doom, where the war lord
abides in exile. This second venture
was in strange contrast with that day
in 1881 when as Crown Prince he
welded Augusta Victoria, daughter Of
Grand Duke Frederick of Schleswig-
Holstein.
Several of the children of that first
union were present to-day to set the
seal of family approval to the new
alliance.
There were two ceremonies, civil
contract drawn up and signed by evil
neim lI' and "Hermine, Reuss," as
they affixed their names, and re-
ilglous ceremony conducted by the
former court chaplain, DR.. vogel, sc-
cording to the Lutheran rites.

After the exchange of rings in the
religious ceremony the newly wed

the blessings Of Pastor Vogel. While
the couple were receiving congratula-
tons at the conclusion Of the wedding
the bride held her three-year-old
daughter by the hand.
A brief official communication issued
later announced the civil and religious
solemnities and mentioned the number
OF guests as twenty-eight. Prince
Henry of Prussia, as senior member Of
the family, spoke few cordial words,
to which there was no response, ac-
cording to the German custom, and no
further speeches.
Day Turns Out To Be Rainy
The. day began clear and bright
- Hohenzollern weather - but soon
turned showery, and chill rain fell
when the former Emperor's black car
drove from the castle to the lodge at
the appointed time for the civil cerc
mony. a large crowd, including aearly
100 newspaper men and photographers
and many of the younger folk of the
c community, watched the arrival Of the
witnesses, who came by different en-
frances. Perched on the tops of motors
the observers were able to discern
through the thinning trees of the castle
grounds some of the notables former
Crown Prince Frederick William in a
uniform of the Uhlans, Won der Goltz
and other oidtime war lords, who also
were in gala attire.
The procession was greeted with
ironical cheers, and there was some
