THE EX-KAISER
ANNIVERSARY OF DEFEAT. LIFE IN HOLLAND. “BY THE WORLD FORGOT.” (United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright). LONDON, Nov. 12. By the world forgot, if not the world forgetting, the ex-Ivaiser spent the eleventh anniversary of his defeat with a friend who is a member of the German nobility, and who visits him frequently.
A newspaper representative, on visiting Doom, ascertained that the ex-Kaiser is in excellent health. He is an early riser, and keeps fit by gardening and sawing timber. “His right hand is still very strong,” stated a resident of the village. “Though bearded and his face pale, he is in excellent physical condition. German visitors state that he is lonely, but he has many callers.”
"Wilhelm walks to the village with his wife, acknowledges the greetings of the villagers by gravely sweeping off his hat. When away from Doom .he wears a military uniform. He travels in a motor-car, his attendants following. His wife shops at Doom, and is most popular with the villagers. When she was asked if the ex-Kaiser liked the Dutch she replied : “We love only one person in Holland —our Queen.” Wilhelm’s suite refer to him as “His Majesty the Kaiser.”
