A if you happened to be at Because the once All Highest was moving (just like any Harlemite) from the Bentinck Castle at Amerongen to the chateau he purchased from the Baroness van Heemstra at Doorn, about fifteen kilometres to the west. Even an éx-Kaiser cannot be transferred invisibly from one diggings to another. All you had to do was stand at the edge of the highway where it joins the little path to his “secret gate” and—snap him. The trick was in knowing just when to catch him, And that information was given me hy a nice Dutch hausfrau who was efiger to help the American “lady journalist.” “At exactly five minutes to 10,” she told me, “two men will come from inside the grounds to the little gate and unlock it. Then they will pace up and down, waiting. At exactly 10 a car will come down the road—the Emperor! I will stay beside you—so spand hide your cameya—otherwise they would surely stop you.” Thanks to the methodical habits of even a fallen German warlord, Mr, Hohenszollern carried out his part of the programme to the dot. He even added something for good measure. He brought the Kaiserin with him. As the gray-green lmousine stopped, the ever present military adjutant jumped to the ground, flung open the door and draped a dark, fur-lined cape over the Kaiser's left shoulder—hiding his withered arm, ‘Then, hat lifted, he waited while the Kaiser and the ehin- strapped chauf- feur assisted the ex-Kaiserin to alight. What did they look like? Well, if you have ever been toa country cir- cus and seen an old gray wolf behind the bars of a gilt wagon you know exactly the expression on the face of the once glittering and powerful, militant and ruthless Wilhelm II. He has the same spent look, the de- fanged, shorn, helpless, hopeless, in- trospective stare of the defeated monarch—a little puzzled, entirely unreconciled, consciously beaten, Heavy pouches are beneath his light blue eyes. His face is gray and lined. His mustache points no longer kaiserishly upward. His beard, close trimmed, is gray, like his face and hair. Nondescript was his costume a tobacco-brown hunting suit with double-breasted jacket and short trousers. He wore brown shoes, black leather puttees and a soft hat of no particular shade, Just a hat. The Kaiserin, on the other hand, is a handsome woman, fresh colored, upstanding, well dressed. There is no sign of illness about her, Hohen- zollern, accompanied by his adjutant, followed the Kaiserin down the green, sundappled path to the little gate in the high wire fence surround- ing the castle grounds, and they were soon lost in the shadows of the wood that stretches behind Doorn House—where they now live, and will likely die, —~— Killed nother Hert in Auto Crash, (Special to The Evening World.)

They then walked to room No, 324, which is a part: of the washroom compartment, Here they fastened a rope to the screening and lowered themselves down to a roof which runs up to the second floor. They closed the window of room No. 324 so they could not be seen, Where they got the rope is a puzzle, Once on the roof they manoeuvred to get the rope down by working it hack and forth over the coping, fin- uly cutting it, They then worked their way to one end of the build- where the walls run into each other at right angles, ‘They crept down by placing their feet on half inch strips in the side of the build- ing e and the fourth man went down the side of the wall unaided. ading watchmen, they got aboard the barge William C.

He is said to have tuberculosis of the throat. 5. Mr. McAdoo went East a week ago and when the writer saw him in Chicago he looked well, ‘but said he was bound for @ quiet summer on Long Island. He took a deep interest in the Republican National Convention and gave the impression that he would welcome, a chance to get into the campaign and fight. 6. Less than a week later Mr. McAdoo announced his irrevo- cable decision’ not to allow his name to be presented to the Democratic National Convention, That ends the catalogue of facts and circumstances, but something hap- pened when McAdoo went Eastward, The writer knows that Mr. McAdoo didn't go to Washington and didn't {consult the White House before he issued his statement. TWO REASONS FOR THE WITH- | DRAWAL OF McADOO. Only two conclusions would seem plausible, | Adoo consulted his | absolutely forbade | Campaign or else McAdoo found | a personal note sent directly or in- | directly by President Woodrow Wil- son telling him the most obvious physician, who his entering a thing in the world—namely, that in| view be embarrassing of their ri fonship it to have Mr. McAdoo would the third is a permit his name or his candidacy to| Vale ts paying $130 a month for her be presented to the Democratic | tonal convention. On the same day, Mr. Wilson re- literated in the public prints what he told Mr. Cummings three weeks be- fore—that he would not dictate to \the Democratic Party on the choice of a nominee. Woodrow Wilson is a |shrewder politician than most people Na- \eredit him with being. He knows that) |the Republicans would say he ob- tained the nomination for his son-in- law, or that the latter won the nom- ination through the influence of the Wilson Administration, and he real- ized that the only thing to do was to keep hands off. Then, if the Democrats saw fit to nominate Mc- Adoo, it would be the free and un- trammelled choice of the convention. M'ADOO'S FRIEND REFUSES TO GO TO SAN FRANCISCO. So thorough has the hands-off pol- been carried put that when some leaders here appealed by telegraph to-day to Daniel Roper, former Commissioner of Internal Revenue and the recognized McAdoo manager, to come to San Francisco to act as adviser to the party, irrespective of the MoAdoo situation, a_ telegram came back promptly from Mr, Roper saying that he feared his coming to n Francisco might be tonstrued as reflection upon the sincerity of Mr McAdoo’ public statement declining to be a candidate. So the McAdoo forces here are liter- ally up in the air. Many delegates and leaders declare they are going through with the plan to draft Me- Adoo for the nomination y will | find it difficult to do so, reddy the McAdoo strength is disintegrating be- | cause of his public statement and the nce of his recognized spokesman.
