THE EX-KAISER.

ATTACKED BY SOCIALISTS. United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright. Received March 9, 10 a.m. Berlin, March 3. There was a stormy debate in the Prussian Parliament on the first reading of the Bill giving the exKaiser the use for his life time of many palaces and other buildings, leaving him an exceedingly rich man. The Socialists attacked the proposal to permit Wilhelm to retain most of the wealth his ancestors had wrung from the nation he led to destruction. His six sons were well able to work. Wilhelm’s was the largest Gorman family which had not lost a single member in the war. One speaker described the Crown Prince as a young man with a predilection for the fair sex, who had taken out a patent for cuff jinks. The Conservatives’" main argument was that although Wilhelm made mistakes he meant well by his people. The debate proved that the Hohenzollerns have lost influence ai.d retain few friends in Germany. „
