RETURNED WITH THANKS.
EX-KAJSERI’S MANUSCRIPTS. BY CABLE—PRESB ASSOCIATION—CO .'YR GHT. LONDON, Sept. 28. The Daily Ghronicle’-s special correspondent at. Amsterdam states that the ex-Kaiser recently had the bitter experience of having ia, beloved manuscript returned with thanks. Every Sunday the household a Doom assembles in the private chapel and the ex-Kaiser preaches feeling sermons, worthy of a more numerous flock. These were collected into a volume; and an agent offered them to many American publishers but they were rejected without an offer everywhere. Germany' was- next tried, but even the ex-Kaiser’s Berlin publishers replied.; “nothing doing.” In the meantime a second manuscript, namely the first- volume of the ex-Kaiser’s autobiography, after much offering, found a publisher in America but at a humiliating price. The exKaiser received .a quarter of a million dollars for his earlier post-war volume, bht the American syndicate whi"' bought it lost money on it and would not* look at the autobiography. Eventually ian offer of £12,000 was accepted. this being the equivalent of four days’ salary as the “all highest.”
