FORMER KAISER TO WED IN NOV.
Wilhelm Announces Plans for Mar
 riage to Widowed Princess,

Potsdam, Sept. 19.-The marriage of former Emperor William to the wid- owed Princess Hermine von Schoe- naich-Carolath probably will take place in November, it was announced after family council of the house of Hohenzollern, held here.
 The council was attended by all the ex-kaiser's sons with the exception of ex-Crown Prince Frederick William, who is with his father at Doorn. All the sons and the eX-crown princess have consented to the marriage.
 The announcement was made Dy Friedrich von Berg, chief of the civil cabinet of the house of Hohenzollern.
 Princess Schoenaich- Carolath was born Princess Reuss, of the elder line. She is 35, and is the mother of five children, the eldest of whom is IA. The princess owns large estate at Saarbor, Silesia
 Ever since reports of the kaiser engagement to her have been circulat- ed, monarchists have opposed the match principally because the princess is not of royal birth Her rank is what is described as "durchlaut. :" which is just below that of royal grade, but still above that noble lady. Before her marriage to Prince Jean of Schoenaich-'Carolath, who died in April, 1920, she carried the ti3le of Serene Highness as Princess Hermine of Reuss.
 Princess Hermine is tall and beau- tlful. She is blonde, and her face is one of exquisite sweetness. She has been a guest at the former emperor $ castle at Doorn on many occasions. It is reported that the kaiser was first impressed by the princess following her letter of condolence on the death of Empress Augusta. It was then that he invited her to visit him. SuDse- quent visits followed, and de1eloped | into the engagement.
