Riches? Hardly. Because the ex-Kaiyer

Yes, you might classify the x-Kaiser's adult
children and grandchildren as subjects, but
they have been rather disioyal, and recently
objected vigorously to his marriage plans
The Crown Prince Eitel Friedrich and
August Wilhelm, sons of the Kaiser, are older
than their new stepniother, and several of
their children are older than hers.
Loneliness of exile in Doorn drove the ex-
Kaiser into matrlnlony AS a member of a
party from the Order Of st. George, composed
the old nobility of Prussia, visited the
2aiser last spring. Others with me were Dir.
Hans Nogel, who, by the way, is to perform
tcdays marriage ceremony at Doom; Baron.

Getting an audience with Wilhelm in exile is
greater task than it was in the days of his
pomp and glory, In exile, his fortune and
grandeur of court gone, he is under guard and
I sirnks from cid friends and associates. Lu-
dandorff Is one of the few old generals who
VISITED him more than once at Doorn, and
secretary at Doorn told ne that the Kaiser
nau received in audience not mefe than fifty
'.snas ~ more than two years there.
ay real reason for going to Doorn was to
sss motion pictures. Only one photograph
y any sind had been made of the Kaiser in
sAls' @ and succeeded in tricking him into the

.'la'ie school at the University Of Bonn and
1as sehoolfnate of the Grown Prince, Eite
friedrich and August Wilhelm gave me the
entrec to Doom
