. Amerongen, Holland, Sept. 17. A
few bicycling tourist occasionally
stop Mid peer through the ates of
the Beotlni k estate in hope of
catching a glimpse of the former
German emperor, but were It not for
them and the presence of the state
IKilice guards who languidly pace tip
and down the road about the castle
walls, Amerongen would seem . to
have completely forgotten- that Wil
liam HohenzoUern was in voluntary
exile there:
The doings of the former ruler
and his small "court" Inside' the
castle have ceased even to be a topic
of village gossip.
Once a week, perhaps, someone
may mention him, wondering how
long he will be In Holland, and then
ensues a series of weightily express
ed. Judicial opinions, the gist of
which is that Amerongen doesn't
believe the allies will ever attempt
to bring him to trial at an, and that
Willlaln of HohenzoUern will 'settle
down and become a Dutch country
gentleman. It is seldom that real
Information regarding his - doing
trickles out from the walls and
moats of the estate.

George is determined to have It set

arraigns William HohenzoUern, for

colonel and good naturedly awaited
the belated train.
It was supposed that Mr. Roose
velt would arrive on No. 54, due
here at :15, but he did not. He
came on. the second section, that was
marked up to arrive at 7:30. Agaia
they 'were disappointed. It always
appears that when a train is late the
engineer doesn't care when be ar
rives, and the second marking on the
railway time board read "7:55."
This was a better guess and the sec
ond section rolled Into the station at
S o'clock.
The majority of the crowd expect
ed to find the colonel on the rear
platform, but as the train came to a
Jiin i .
line shouted "here he is." and there
was a wild scramble forward. The
hero from France had Just sat down
to the dining table, ibut Immediately
came out on the platform.
There he was, iRoosevelt smile and
all "the son of his father." Indeed,
had he possessed a mustache he
might easily have passed for the 11-
lusterous Teddy although he Is
somewhat smaller. He was hoars
from continued speaking, and as the
train stopped only for a few mln-
ntes, spoke only a few words to the
audience.
He at once began shaking hands
with some of the little folks "who
had crowded close the little folks
take to Theodore and even shook
hands with and smiled at a few ba
bies who were held up to him. ;
"Hello, everybody!" he shouted. '
I am sorry that the Southern Pa
cific company is rushing me through
Oregon so fast. There Is one thing
about Oregon her people are 100
per cent American." Cheers . fol
lowed. "I was Just eating my din
ner, although you wouldn't think It
by looking at me now, but when I
saw the crowd of smiling faces I
eouldnt resist the temptation to
come out and say hello."
There was more cheering, follow
ed hy a few brief remarks by the
colonel. "Me and all my family
think a whole lot of Oregon"
That was as far as he got with
that sentence. Some person In tho
crowd shouted la replv:
"And Oregon thinlvs a whole lot
of you and your family." , This
brought forth s whopper of a cheer.
"Thank you," answered the col
onel, emtllng from ear to ear, "and
now if you will excuse me I will go
back to that beefsteak." He did so,
me peopie oneertng and peering,
through the, windows at this coming
statesman until the train pulled out.
There was a.' delegation present
from, the local organltatlon of the
American legion, but the short stop
did not permit them tp get in touch
with the colonel.
