Amid e-cra-tions from 2000 Belgian refugees the former German Emperor's special train left here at 10 o'clock this morning northward bound. A tremendous crowd of sightseers had gathered, but the platform was strongly cordoned and Wm. Hohen zollern did not show himself. His destination is said to be Amerongen, about 20 miles from Utrecht, where Count Bentinck has a country seat. But it is impossible to say where he will finally remain, for in order to avoid the curious he may have to keep to the train for a couple of days. AMSTERDAM, Nov. 12. The .work men's and soldiers' council at Berlin announces that the ex-Emperor, the ex Empress and their eldest son, Frederick William, have arrived in Holland. The ex-German Emperor made an inglorious entry into Holland by auto mobile, according to reports from Eys den. At 7:30 o'clock Sunday morning 10 travel-stained automobiles driven by Prussian officers were seen coming slowly through the fog along the Vise Maastricht high road. The last Bel gian village, Mouland, was still asleep. The noise of the motors brought out a crowd of curious villagers. Martial Pose Discarded. The former ruler of Germany was dressed in the uniform of a General with an officer's cap and carried a sword. The erstwhile martial figure was huddled and bent on a walking stick, while his eyes stared straight ahead. The Dutch frontier guards stopped the cortege. After some brief formali ties, the automobiles were conducted to the railway station at Eysden. Dutch cavalry and military cyclists formed a cordon about the station. Crowds of Belgian refugees swarmed around the Citation, crying: "Abas guillaume! Assassin.' The Tijd learns the former German Emperor's flight Was decided upon after receipt of the armistice terms at headquarters- and the German govern ment's communication on this subject. Although the Emperor, despite pres sure, refused for a time to sign the ab dication proclamation on behalf of himself and family, he realized that the end had come. Emperor Reproaches General. On hearing the armistice terms the Emperor bitterly reproached the su preme army command, declaring that he had been misled. One General ad vised against the Emperor's flight as unworthy. Field Marshal von Hinden- burg designated General von Falken hayn, the former chief of staff, to ac company the Emperor, with whom was his youngest son. There were exchanges of shots in BeVlin Sunday between soldiers and f the few officers remaining loyal to the Hohenzollerns, according to advices fcom there. These exchanges occurred around the Central Hotel and the rail way station in the Friedrichatrasse, the Victoria and Astoria cafes' and the royal library, from which the officers fired at the soldiers, some of whom were wounded. A number of the officers were ar- LOXDOK, Nov. 12. (British wireless service.) Prominence is given by the British newspapers to some of the utterances made by ex-Emperor Will iam while the war was in progress. In the year 1914 he said: "Before the leaves fall from the trees we shall be back again in the dear Fatherland. . Exterminate first the treacherous English and walk over General French's contemptible little army. The warlike spirit still lives in the German people; . . . that power ful spirit which attacks the enemy wherever it finds him regardless of the cost. Blasphemous Words I'sed. "You, my troops, are my guarantee that I can "dictate peace to my enemies. Up and at the foes! . God's goodness will guide the German people through battle to victory to the goal appoint ed for the German people by provi dence. "I have drawn the sword, which without victory and without honor I cannot Bheathe again. We stand with our hearts toward God. To the dust with all the enemies of Germany. Amen." In the year 1915 the German ruler said: "Our brrrVe soldiers have shown themselves to be invincible in battle against nearly the whole world. The war drama now is coming to its close." To the king of the Senussl he said: "Our, common enemies . whom Allah will anihilate to the last man shall fly before thee. So be it." United States Threatened. Regarding the United States the em peror declared: "America had better look out after he war. 1 shall stand no nonsense from the Americans. 'My destructive sword has crushed the Russians. In a short while I will announce new victories. The war drama now is coming to its close. In a just cause I am ready to force myself to be cruel." In 1916 the Emperor said: "The world was prepared for any thing but a victory of the German fleet over the British fleet. Fear will creep into the bones of the enemy. "Bucharest has been taken. What a magnificent success on the road to complete victory has been gained with God's help. "Germany is invincible in spite of the superior numbers of our enemies and every day confirms this anew. Ger many knows her strength and she re lies on God's help. "The foe is defending his native soil foot by foot. This is the resistance of despair but it must be broken. He has prepared his soup and now he must sup it., I took to you Co see to. it. Shining; Sword Invoked. "All Germany contemplates with pride, her brave sons whose deeds with God's help will be a landmark on the road to final victory." - In 1917 the head of the German na tion said: , "If the enemy does not want peace then we must bring peace by battering in with iron fist and shining sword the doors of those who will not have peace. "Victory in the coming year will again be on our side and on that of our allies. If only we cast-the burden on the Lord, h will smite the foe hip and thigh as he did Ammalek, the pro totype of perfidious England. "The year 1317 with its great battles has proved that the German people has in the Lord of creation above an un conditional and avowed ally on. whom it can absolutely rely." In June, 1918, the Emperor said: "God, -the Lord, ha laid a heavy bur den on my shoulders, but I can carry it in the consciousness of our good right, with confidenco in our sharp sword and our strength " This wasfollowed by various utter ances of growing despondency.

WHEN SLEEP DOES NOT REFRESH YOU People who are tired out, who arise in the morning; feeling that sleep has not refreshed them, are in a state of nervous exhaustion that borders on the condition that doctors call neur asthenia. The causes are varied. The symptoms are over-sensitiveness, irritability, a disposition to worry over trifles, headache, possibly nausea. "My nervoussystem was weakened," Eaid Mr. Charles Crowley of 34 Richard street, West Lynn, Mass., "my limbs were shaky and the muscles sore. At times it seemed my limbs would give out. Themusclesof my shoulders were" painful and sore. I had severe head aches. My rest seemed to do me no jrood and I was tired in the morning. There was a trembling sensation when I walked. "I learned of Dr. "Williams Pink Pills through a newspaper and after finding the first box of pills helped me I took two more boxes. I am feeling good, the nervous twitchings are gone and I sleep and eat well."- The treatment in cases like this is one of nutrition of the nerve cells, requiring a non-alcoholic tonic. As the nerves get their nourishment from the blood the treatment must be di rected toward building up the blood. Dr. Williams Pink Pills act directly on the blocd and with proper regula-. tion of the diet have proved of the greatest benefit in many cases of neur asthenia. Dr. W illiams Pink.

In addition to the Wolff Bureau, the Socialists are now represented by three newspapers, the Vorwaerts, the Lokal Anzeiger, formerly the Emperor's favorite newspaper .and now rechris tened the "Red Flag." and the former semi-official organ, the German Ga zette, which has taken the new title of The International. Tha revolutionary movement is spreading. Koenigsberg, Frankfort-on-Main and Strassburg'are now controlled by the Soviets. It is officially reported that there are no disorders. German troops at the Beverloo Camp in Belgium have mutined and are marching with their guns toward Hoi land. The provisional government composed of all parties formed at Karlsruhe has issued a proclamation announcing that Baden will remain part of the German empire, according to advices from Berlin. The fortress of Posen is in the- hands of the workers and soldiers and the military authorities ha'e placed them selves at the disposal of the council. "Comrades" Fill Office.. The statement issued by the Berl Soldiers and w orkers Council says that all public services have been placed under the control of the Council and that all the leading offices are be ing filled by comrades. The admin istration, it adds, is retained, "but its leaders are inspired with the new spirit of liberty." The foundation or the new German republic was proclaimed by Fhilipp Scheidemann from the steps of the Reichstag building. The excitement in Berlin Sunday owing to the isolated resistance of of ficers faithful to the former Emperor has subsided. The night passed quietly. The population is willingly obeying or ders. Almost all the shops are open. The Soldiers" and Workmen's Coun cil has decreed that all work shall be resumed Tuesday. The Bourse is closed- at present. In Saxony the cabinet ministers have announced that elections will be held in which both men. and women will vote. A soldiers' council has been formed at the front and will submit its de mands to Field Marshal Von Hinden burg tomorrow, says a Wolff bureau dispatch from German general head quarters. American Troops Quiet and Grim, Xot Certain They Have "Licked Germany Enough." VERDUX, Nov. 11. (By the Asso ciated Tress.) ;Verdun came into its own tonight.

The procession moved through ' the streets lighted by flares and vari-col-ored signal lights set off by Infantry men. The entire city was In a great blaze of glory and the illumination was visible for many miles around, even to the Germans going homeward in the East. Behind the buglers marched a shout ing, singing and dancing column of Frsnch, American, Senegalese and Al gerian soldiers and civilian celebrants keeping time with the drumbeats and shouting: "The war is over! Viya la France! Viva LAmerique!" Great Fortress Sleeps la Peace. The marchers paraded until they wers tired, the bellringers rang the chimes Ontil they were exhausted and the -flares burned themselves out. Late tonight the American and French soldiers and the handful of faithful civilians in Verdun went to sleep in peace. WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN FRANCE. Nov. 11. (By the Associated Pre3s.) Hostilities along the Ameri can troni ended with a crash of can on. Two minutes before .11 o'clock he fire dwindled, the last shells hrieking over No Man's Land precise ly on time. There was little celebration on the front line, where American routine was scarcely disturbed. In- the areas behind the battle zone, there were celebra- ions on all sides. It was in the gray light of early morning that orders for the cessation tf hostilities were sent out. Each com mander was called to the telephone and he general army order read to him. American Emotion Lacking;. In contrast to the soberness of the Americans, was the emotion displayed by their French allies. Many of the rench soldiers went about singing and houting. The Americans except In some rare instances are accepting the situation with the same grimness that has char acterized their fighting. well, I don t know, drawled a lieutenant from Texas, wlille the artil lery was sending its last challenge to the Germans, "but somehow I can't help wondering If we have licked them Dough." The Germans were manifestly ma glad over the cessation of hostilities that hey did not conceal their pleasure. Prisoners taken at Stenay grinned with satisfaction. Germans Glad It la Over. In the front line, it was the same. The Americans were happy, but quiet. They made no demonstration. The Ger mans on the other hand were in i regular hysteria of Joy. They waited only until nigntrau to set off every rocket in their possession. In the evening, the sky was ablaze with red, green, blue and yellow flares all along the line.

On this hallowed ground the troops now are resting on their arms, happy in the thought of the fitness of their final triumph.

Mons Cheer. Madly. The population of Mons today paraded the streets, cheering madly their de liverers. Their glad cries must have reached the ears of the Germans out side the walls of the town. Early this morning an order to cease fire at 11 o'clock was distributed to all units, with a further order to maintain defensive precautions and to have no intercourse with the enemy. The ad vance continued, the guns racing for ward to the advance batteries, seeking the Donor or tiring tne final shot. Punctually at 11 o'clock, the firing stopped. Fleets of British airplanes dropped showers of signal lights which descended with the momentous mes sage to those below. There was joy in plenty among tha British troeps at the first blush of peace, but. tbere was little In the na ture of demonstrations. Tommy. Atkins was unable to realize that the announcement was true, ai though his heart waa burning with the hope of going back to his wife and baby in "Blighty."
