WILHELM NAMES NEW MANAGER TO HANDLE FINANCIAL AFFAIRS DOORN, Holland, Aug. 1.—Ex- Emperor William II once again has changed managers: Baron Ulrich von Sell, until now responsible for all publicity emanating from Doorn Castle, has been put in charge of the ex-kaiser’s financial affairs. The appointment comes after a series of disconcerting experiences which the former emperor suffered. His first general manager, Excel- lency von Berg, who in 1917 and 1918 had been the chief of his civil cabinet, quit shortly after the final settlement between state of Prussi and the former ruling house was perfected and adopted. One version is that the Hohen- zollerns were dissatisfied that von Berg did not succeed in obtaining even better terms than he secured with unusual skill. Another ver- sion is that he declined to invest 1,000,000 marks each of the 30,000,- 000 cash paid out by the state of Prussia, to the credit of the ex- kaiser's four step-children—the children of Hermine. Shortly bef this conflict with von Berg, Adj. Gen. Hans von Gon- tard, marshal to his majesty’s house hold, also had quit because of dif- ferences with Hermine. ‘ “Kaiserin” Hermine then per- suaded her imperial spouse to let her assume the running of the Doorn estate. As her only two assistants, she chose a private sec- retary and the custodian of the crown properties Herr Nitz. Things seemed to run smoothly until, quite recently, it was dis- covered that Nitz had been victim- ized by a swindler from Vienna, who proposed to harness certain elementary forces of the universe. Nitz had given him about 200,000 marks for his fraudulent scheme. The ex-kaiser put his foot down on the mismanagement of his af- Paulina Longworth, now four and sophisticated Washington. lina Longworth| T0 REPRESENT U. S.
