DOORN, Holland, March 90
What I reproach your former
President Wilson for most, is
that he saw the world through
rose-coIored SpectacIes."
With this succinct comment,
the Princess Hermine, bride of
the ex-kaiser, summarized her
impression OF Americas war
time President, based upon her
reading.
Contrary to most of her coun-
trymen, the princess did admit
belief that Woodrow Wilson had
idealistic motives, but he didn't
hold it necessary to seek-even
from neutrals-a picture of actual
conditions in Germany"
Wilson, therefore. Hermine CON
tinued was a victim Of entente
propa ganda-not entirely without
fault on his own part"
Regarding Germany's immediate fl-
ture, and in this connection the ex-
emperor agrees with his bride-the
princess is free from every illusion.
Is PcSSimistic
AS pointed out to her the national
spirit sweeping Germany as a result
of the Ruhr occupation she sighed:
I'm pessimistic."
