After Gland Trans

BY the Associated Press.

London, Jan. 26.-The correspondent
of the Yorkshire Evening News, wiring
to his paper from Doom says:
"In spite of elaborate efforts to hide
the truth, have discovered that the
second marriage of the former German
emperor has been a complete failure
and that he is living in one part of
the castle while his wife and her chill
dren are in another. ] am told that
very few weeks sufficed to bring
about the breakdown.
"Those who are near TO the eS-
kaiser have been struck by the grave
alteration not only in his mood, but
in his character. He is said to have
been affected very unfavorably by the
operation for gland transference he
underwent before his second marriage.
His own children have not forgiven him
for the second marriage and his step
children avoid him.
His means are reduced and his
private expenditure is strictly limited.
He is living today under most unhappy
family conditions. He can command
neither service, affection nor compan-
ship, and the breakdown in his domestic
arrangements is painfully apparent to
the very few who visit him.
