THE EX-KAISER AT DOORN
LIFE GOING WELL WITH HIM.
A VISITOR’S IMPRESSIONS.
While Emperor William of Germany ruled/in imperial splendour at Potsdam a correspondent who has just been visiting Doortn, in Holland, was chief of the Berlin Bureau of the United States Associated Press. He was- frequently in personal contact with the Emperor. Since then he, has been chief or the Paris bureau. He went to visit Doorn to observe how the one-time war lord is living the new life forced upon him by the fortune of wa,r, and hcKv he appears, after the passing o ( f these 15 eventual years. Everybody who lives at Doorn feels that he knows the Kaiser. He never misses a day in walking through the main streets. The women and girls nod ott’ 1 coutsey, the men and boys lift theirs hats or caps. William always responds with a certain impressiveness by raising his own ha,t, qften saying “Good morning” in Dutch, his face beaming. He wears a grey sack suit and never appears in uniform on foot outside his grounds. The former Kaiser looks as though life goes well with him. He is straight and firm of step, and talks animatedly with his companion. He almqat always has a guest or guests stopping with him at Doorn House, and if by chance none is with him in his walks he is attended bj r an adjutant.
