FLIGHT INTO HOLLAND
ADVISED BY HINDENBURG. ONLY A TEMPORARY EXPEDIENT. FOR THE MONARCH'S SAFETY. (Australian and N.Z. Cable Assn.) BERLIN, September 12. The Monarchist press has published a letter from General Hindenburg to the ex-Kaiser, in which the former, desiring to remove the ban of the impression created by the Kaiser's flight to Holland, takes upon himself a share of the responsibility of advising the Kaiser to take flight two days before the armistice on the -grounds of "the serious danger of our Majesty's falling into the hands of mutineers and being surrendered to internal and external enemies. It was necessary to spare the Fatherland such shame and dfsgrace at any cost." General Hindenburg adds that he regarded the departure .'to Holland as temporary, and concludes 1 , with 'tire*, expression of unbounded fidelity' to "the .most high, the most powerful, and most'gracious Kaiser, King and Lord."
