 sA8BOR. SilesIa, Oct. 7,--Bavaria beats the war drum, and monarchlst Germany answers. PanopAed in the shining helmets, the gold and steel of the old regime, monarchlsI officers are rallylng to the standard of revolt, mobinzing, training marching, slng- ing the old war songs, toasting, again, The Day."
 Northward the call goes forth--a German monarch on the German throne. death of tho young repubilc, ,.efIance of France. Against this Background Stresemann struggles to stem the swellin tide.
 It was with fresh pictures of hungry. money mad Berlin, torn oy 4hroes of cabinet crisis, that l came to Saabor castle to ask Princess Her mine, wife of Wilhelm il, whether the war lord would aswer the cau' returning to a German throne or aid irg his sons to restore the glory or fae Hohenzollerns.
 Two days ago Germany thrilled at ,,e word that Crown Prince Wilhelm 1d left his island exile at WierIngen. tNas it in answer to word from stlnich? Was he plotting war plans tt Doorn? Why had the kaiserin, eaving Holland, come to SaaoorE

 the Kaiserin, ushered me into the presence of the woman who, If mon rchist dreams came true, might pc Bmpress or Empress-mother Of Ger any.

 Across the homelike silence room t motherly, plainly clad woman sat knitting. Her neat and simple dress was of thick stuff suited to the autumn air. Her stockings were or cotton. The yarns in her firm. cap able hands were destined to become sweater-for the poor of the village she explained.
 Princess Hernine rose as I stepped across the room, and graciously of fered her hand, in the European fashion, to be kissed.
 Then resuming her knitting she ehatted freely, grave when she talked of the sorrows of Germany grave still, but with twinkle Of amuse- nent in her eyes, as she spoke Of re- ported plots aimed at the return or the Hohenzollerns.
 Talking there, quietly, the visions os a return of the war lord Iaueo plots, conspiracies, the mobilization of "steel helmets" and fascistl seemed futile and far away. Through Ter kind eyes saw tHS ASaA ANe"NS~-' Feel For Sufferers.
 Germauy-and the world--can for get pictures of plotting war loras pomp. glory, blood and iron as Tn other days.
 No active politics are played at Doorn." Princess Hermine answered when asked what relationship the ex- Kaiser had to the present crlsls: i.srhe greatest reserve is maintained fhere as to developments In Germany. It does not thus signify that we do not feel for the German people. It IS to the contrary"-and Hermlne voice carried sincere emoton-- we feei the German nations sufferlngs as though they were our own

I told you when you visited Doorn castle last spring, that the situation warranted utmost pessin- ism Today must say that my dark est fears already have been sur Yet even today I can scarcely be- lieve that the climax has been reached.
 ''The collapse of the mark con tinues. Apparently there Is no hope misery increase. ."
 Makes Hopeless shrus.
 She had spoken as if talking to her self, seeing an inner vision of her nations agony. Then she paused and looked up, answered the unask ed question-what would the kaiser do. The answer was a shrug, the strang g. ly vivid continental shrug of hope lessness. No solution could come from Doorn in the time of the peoples sorrow. The hands of the former monarch are tied.
