DOORN, Nov. 6 (Associated Press)
The former German Emperor ant
his bride, Princess Hermine of Reuss
began their honeymoon to-day with
no place to go. They were wed yes
terday at 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 twenty-eight guests. anc
were kept from the sight Of the viii
layers of Doom and a host Of cor
respondents and camera men with G
secrecy that was both studied ano
mysterious.
To the twenty-eigh who partool
of the wedding repast William was
still "IIis Majesty" and Hermine wat
her "Serene Highness." William ad.
dressed her as "Your Majesty" But

led every one to think that William
fiancee had arrived. Meanwhile Her
mine had left the train at Apeldoorr
and gone unobserved to her future
home.
Some Of the devout Sabbatariar
villagers thought it was simply awful
that the exile of Doom selected Sun
day as his wedding day. And not G
few Of them looked with disfavol
upon him becoming a bridegroom
within nineteen months after the
death Of the woman who shared witt
him his glories and his sorrows-thF

Several Of the children OF that frs
union saw their father married yes

met with her disapproval.
