WILHELM'S BIRTHDAY
(Keceived 25th January, 3 p.m.)
DOOEN, 24th January. By Sunday there will be forty-eight Princes and Princesses in the little Dutch village in honour of the exKaiser's seventieth birthday. Princo Buppreeht of Bavaria will toast the exKaiser's health. Already numerous ex-Generals and ex-Admirals have arrived.
It is a somewhat pathetic sight to see these obese elderlies being shown around the garden, also logs of wood chopped up by the ox-Kaiser. They bent their old backs and called him "Your Highness," although many refused stubbornly to call his wife by the title she uses.
