THE HOHENZOLLERNS.
WELL TREATED BY GERMANY. Any illusions concerning the material advantages enjoyed by the ex-Kaiser and he members of the Hohenzollcrn family have been dispelled by the present publication of figures concerning thei r present financial position. The ex-Kaiser' m spite of his own protests of povertv’ was never believed to be a pauper, but f is not generally known that when he was deprived of his •throne the verman Republic authorised the mvment to him of a fortune of foot) 000 representing his savings during ' his reign. The palace in the Wilhelmstrasse was always recognised as his personal pro000A he n WaS al ' OWcd 000. The ex-Crown Prmee i s supported by the revenue from the vast estates of Oels, in Silesia. Other Hohenzollern princes own large estates, and all the poorer’ members of the family are enabled to keep the wolf from the door by a fund of £3'0,000, which is yearly paid by the State and handed over to the ex-Kaiser, as the head of the line for distribution.
Some of the former princes have become millionaires through the disposal of their estates.
