THE EX-KAISER
DETAILS OF HIS HOME LIFE. (By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright). (Australian and N.Z. Cable Association.) BERLIN, June 20. (Received June 21, 9.30 pjn.) The ex-Kaiser’s wife, in thanking a company of German students for their visit to Doorn, remarked: “Spiritually, one goes to ruin here. Please come often. We have so little chance of hearing anything of real value.” The students were very deeply impressed by the luxury of the rooms allotted to them. The Kaiser was dressed in simple mufti, but preserved his autocratic demeanour. He gave a lecture on literature, stating that he always wanted the stage to be first, but he could not obtain the right actors. He told the students that he passed his time in historical, archaeological, and genealogical studies, and said, “Better times will come because Germany is the home of heroism.”
