Those paragraphs were clipped from
the newspapers during precisely four
days.
The story Of today's exiles wakes ever
more furious and more strange.
Before the war there was only a
sprinkling of exiles-a Duke Of Orleans
and Prince Victor Bonaparte. Queen
Nathalie Of Servia, in a convent; King
Manoel and his mother. Queen Amelie:
the boy Emperor Pu vi Of China, Don
Carlos, lately killed by car in Vienna,
at the age of 81.
Look about in early 1897. The exile
list grows so lengthy that it must al
most be divided into categories: Kings
in Exile, Pretenders in Exile, Exiled
Intellects. the Orient in Exile, Miscel-
laneous Exiles.
Duke Of Windsor Is No. 1.
Exile No. whether his absence
from Britain is enforced or voluntary
Is, Of course, the Duke of Windsor,
former occupant Of the worlds great
est throne, and still so prominent in
the days news that he requires no
mention here.
Exile No. is presumably the dis
tinguished-looking 78-year-old squire
Of Doom, now well into his nineteenth
year Of absence from the fatherland.
Whatever may have been thought Of
Germany's pre-war Kaiser, few will
not admit that Wilhelm has added to
the dignity of exile as has none other
since Napoleon. Which is all the
more meritorious. h that it was in
no way to have been expected.
The odds seemed to indicate SO Ger

straint The former Kaiser has been
saved by four things: Religion, heavily
charged with the persisting notion Of
his own presence upon earth by divine
right. An untiring interest In all
kinds of things and capacity to
discuss them for hours. The COM

fourthly, a record material well-being
the estimate being that William re-
ceived the equivalent Of $500, ,o00,o 900
in gold marks, art treasures, furniture
and equipment from Prussian Crown
property, though whether it is all out
of Germany is not so sure.
Reduced Wood-chopping.
As he nears 80, the ex-Kaiser has
reduced the wood-chopping that used
to absorb so much Of each day and
which led to that sublime piece Of
Freudianism: "The megalomaniac is
dealing blows with his ak at imaginary
foes" Now he has an English break
fast at 8, during and after which he
reads q dozen marked newspapers
from New York and the capitals Of
Europe, and deals with an ever
towering postbag. He has two faith
full cronies in Herren Schluz and
Ficke, and at any time he is apt to
burst into monologues on philosophy.
