BURIAL AT DOORN

DESIRE OF EX-KAISER

A BIRTHDAY GATHERING WILL READ TO FAMILY (Received January 28, 5.5 p.m.) , LONDON, Jan. 27 A message from Doom states that the ex-Kaiser, wearing the uniform of a Field Marshal, presided at a gala banquet in celebration of his 79th birthday. He was surrounded by his family, including the ex-Crown Prince. The Doom correspondent of the Daily Herald states that the ex-Kaiser read his will to the gathering. He revealed that he wanted to be buried in the grounds of his Doom house. He said he had designed his own gravestone and epitaph and desired that Germany should not be made to feel his death or be asked to mourn it.

"I would dearly love to be buried at Potsdam beside my first wife," said Wilhelm, "but I am afraid the occasion would be used as a means ganda and might lead to demonstrations."

The Crown Prince promised that his father's wishes should be carried out.
