“SEEKING PEACE”
Ex-Kaiser and Lady Reporter FIRST AUTHENTIC INTERVIEW (Australian and N.Z. Press Association) PARIS, Thursday. What is believed to be the first authentic interview with the exKaiser since he went to Doom appears in “Le Journal.” It was obtained by Mademoiselle Marise Querlin, who, when she was refused permission to enter the gates of his house, waylaid the ex-Kaiser the next day while he was walking with Baron Grancy, his house marshal. “Sire,” she said, “I have come from Paris to see you.” “Then.” replied the ex-Kaiser slowly and with a guttural accent, “you have succeeded. Mademoiselle.” Then the following conversation took place: Mademoiselle Querlin: It is my business to see celebrated persons. The ex-Kaiser: I am only an old man who wants to finish his days in peace. Mademoiselle Querlin: It is impossible that you should not be interested in your own and other countries. The ex-Kaiser: I have nothing more to do with politics. Only Germany interests me, because my family is there. Sooner or later she will repair her errors. Mademoiselle Querlin: And France, sire ? The ex-Kaiser: France, Mademoiselle, has been a courageous country. Mademoiselle Querlin: Do you believe there will be another war? The ex-Kaiser slowly and gutturally: War, Mademoiselle, is an ethnographic question, against which nothing can intervene but Divine power. Then he waved Mademoiselle Querlin off.
OBESE AND ELDERLY
PATHETIC SIGHTS AT DOORN (Australian and N.Z. Press Association) DOORN, Friday. By Sunday there will be 4S princes and princesses in this little Dutch village, in honour of the ex-Kaiser’s 70th birthday. Prince Rupprecht of Bavaria will toast the ex-Kaiser’s health at dinner. Already numerous former generals and admirals have arrived. It is a somewhat pathetic sight to see obese elderly gentlemen being shown around the garden, and also shown the logs of wood chopped up by the ex-Kaiser. They bent their old backs and called him “Highness.” although many refused stubbornly to call his wife by the title she uses*
