" EUROPE'S RICHEST MAN "

For the purposes of taxation tho former monarch's fortune has been estimated at 700,000,000 marks (£35,000,000). His representatives, however, assert that the ex-Kaiser's fortune " does not approach the tenth part of this fantastic sum " and assert that the estimate is a " false figure made up out of thin air." he list shows that the ex-Kaiser still owns some of tho finest properties in Germany. Among them are seven palaces with the full use of an eighth during his lifetime, two castles, a principality,- a hunting lodge, an officers' convalescent lodge, six villas ami several churches.
