EX-EMPRESS
OF GERMANY
DIES IN EXILE
Augusta Victoria Dies Peacefully
in Castle at Doom, After Long
Illness; ex-Kaiser Wilhelm
Takes His Great Loss Stoically
Doom, April ll.-(U. P.) The
former empress of GermanyrAugus
ta Victoria, died here today at 6 a.
m. Warned by the long ifiness of
the kaiserin, most ' members of her
family were, at Doom when death
occurred.-
The ex-empress was a victim of heart
trouble. The illness was aggravated by
worries of the world war and the
kaiser's flight into Holland in the fall
Of 1918.
EX-KAISER MAT ATTEND
The funeral will be held at Potsdam,
where' the ex-empress reigned for ' 30
years. The dy will be taken there
Wednesday alter preliminary services
here tomorrow. Only members of the
family will attend the ceremonies in the
chapel here. I
It has not been decided as yet whether
the kaiser can accompany the remains
to Potsdam. It would be his first visit
tkfere since 1918. Others of the family
will make the journey.
Tne kaiserine's death was peaceful.:
In the chambers at the time were the
former kaiser, their third son. Adelbert.
and the physician.
BORN IN EXILE
Wilhelm, after leaving the death cham
ber, was reported to have accepted his
ioss stoically. -
The castle, always carefully guarded,
was doubly watched today in the ex
pectation that large crowds would gather
to watch the arrival of relatives and
sympathizers. !
i
Born in exile, the Princess Victoria of
Schleswigr-Holstein died an expatriate
at the age of 63.
She was born October 22, 1858, before
the German empire had become solidified
and while her-home country was still at
war. Its union with the German em
pire became, complete when on Febru
ary 27, 188l,; she married Wilhelm, the
crown prince.- ,
LIKED HOME LIFE
Wilhelm II succeeded to the throne
March 9. 1888.
Puring .the time ' 'he, emperor was
building up Ue,mprrer preparing for the
great-campaign .ta .extend-its territories,
the kaiserin devoted herself to the borne.
Her chief claim to fame was her ability
as a Tiausfrau. f
She never aspired to shine in court
festivities. Her husband calmly said of
her, "The poor clear is such a frump."
She delighted in supervising the house
hold affairs of the kaiser's magnificent
establishments.
Another delight was her seven chil
dren. These were the crown prince
Priedrich Wilhelm. Kite! Kriedrich, Adel
bert, August Wilhelm, Oscar, Joachim
and Victoria Louise. .
The constant warfare between the
crown prince and the emperor caused' her
much worry and she spent much time
in attempting to reconcile their many
differences.
CONTINUED AS HAUSFRAC
During the war she was thrown into
the background by her resplendent hus
band. She was said to grieve genu
inely over the suffering caused by the
war and did a great deal to comfort
those who lost relatives. She contrib
uted much to the German "Red Cross and
did some hospital work.
Even in the latter service her per
sonality was against her and her well
intentioned visits to the hospital wards ;
were not a great success.
When the final great disaster came,
she immediately followed the kaiser into
exile. 'continuing her role as the faithful
hausfrau.
SUICIDE WAS BLOW
Their troubles had wrecked her health,
however, and shortly after the flight
to Amerongen she was seized with the
first attack of heart trouble which
threatened her life.
The suicide: of her youngest son.
Prince Joachim, was a severe blow,
and it was feared she would not rally
from, the illness which followed.
Several times later the entire family
was called to her bedside. The crown
prince came from his asylum at Wie
rengen and their other eons and the
Princess Victoria Louise came from
their scattered homes In Germany. She
rallied each time and was able to ac
company the kaiser in his strolls about
the grounds at Doorn.

Preliminary Conference of Early

So Far Makes No Headway.
By Earl C. Reeves
London, April 11. (I. X. &)
Ominous clouds again gathered' on

SO HOPEFUL WORD COMES
Two hours after the resumption of
the conference' no word had yet leaked

being made toward a settlement, ,v
Meanwhile the triple alliance has is
sued a manifesto charging the govern
ment with hostility toward the work
ing class and asking all workers to
give assistance in the struggle for the
miners. . j
"- The mine owners also were represented
at the conference.
Occupation of the strike ridden - coal
fields by government forces is com
pleted. The situation is described as
entirely peaceful. The striking miners
appear to be heeding the warning of
the federation not to interfere with the
safety of the mines or with the gov
ernment forces.
