DOORN’S EXILE IS MELLOWED Twenty years ago thia month the broken, hated Kaiser Wilhelm fled his de caying German empire, never to return. The World war was over and he had been vanquished. On November 2b, 1918, at his castle in Spa, Belgium, he signed abdica tion papers ending the Hohenzollern reign. The above hole in the ground has considerable signifi cance. It was the entrance to a subterranean passage, lead ing from the Kaiser's castle at Spa to a point some miles distant in a wood. Through this tunnel fled the once proud ruler of Germany, completely beaten. pwRpmnMMMii ■wmmmmmmmmmm wsmmm 'wvw t < - v.->a»a>xo. ««■■■■■■■ w In 1918, Hohenzollerns were hated throughout the world. The above picture was printed on Armistice day of that year with the following description: “This photo was taken of the Hohenzollern tribe before it was necessary for them to scan the want ads. It is useless at this early date to venture the occupations they are liable to pursue, but it is generally understood that the French are most solicitous regarding their welfare and have of fered them poaitiona with the government. Moat of the work will be done in over alla on the roada of that etricken country. Thia gang will toon leave for the French frontier—under guard.” But Kaiaer Wilhelm went aafely to Doom, where in 1922—hia Brat wife having died—he married the Prin ceaa Hermine von Reuaa (right). Though not of blue blooded atock, ahe has a long line of noble anceatry. She had Bve children by a previ oua marriage. LEFT—The Kaiser today, a proud, peaceful old man who whiles away his days at Doom, emerging infrequently to comment on world affairs. RIGHT—But in Berlin one sees his son, Prince August Wilhelm, wearing the Nazi swastika and assuming an important role in Adolf Hitler's German government. Are the Hohenzollems returning? WHO’S NEWS THIS WEEK I I By LEMUEL F. PARTON NEW YORK.—G. S. Messersmith, assistant secretary of state, consul general in Berlin when Hitler rose to power, used to be a lot more , optimistic about Messersmith Germany set Worried Over tling down to Trade Rights normal trade in tercourse than he appears to be now. He predicted that "evolution" would soon follow revolution and urged the world to give Germany a chance to work through a period of stress and con fusion. Today he is concerned about "world law and order" in trade in tercourse. and says, "We ought to be prepared to protect our interests wherever they may be attacked.” German barter activities, particu larly in South America, seem to be worrying the traders. Widely experienced and mi nutely informed in foreign trade, Mr. Messersmith has been an evangel of Secretary Hull’s re ciprocal trade policies. His zeal In this is not lessened, but he reveals deep concern over the subordination of the rights of business and property "to the will of individual leaders or na tions for expansion and domina tion.” This writer has just obtained from a friend, an economist returning from Germany, his first close-up of what Dr. Walther Funk, German minister of economics, and his shrewd hunch - man, Hjalmar Schacht, are doing with their new militarized economics. My inform ant, who wrote books about the old, mellow, beery, bassoony Germany, had many old friends there and was steered right into the wheelhouse. According to him, the new German formula is as revolutionary as com munism. Every atom of surplus wealth is sluiced into the "dynam ics" of expansion, and the Reich out reach is based on jug-handled trade relations which mean commercial subjugation for any short-enders who try to do business with it. \\7E REGRET the lack of space ’ ’ to reprint here some merry lit tle poems, such as ‘‘The Bird and the Burdock,” and ‘‘The Tern and the Turnip,” by The Debunker Professor Rob Of Death Ray ert W. Wood of Goes Poetic Johns Hopkins, just recently honored by the British Royal society for his work in experimental phys ics. He tossed off a book of them, along with whimsical drawings, in between takes of ‘‘Fluorescence and Magnetic Rotation Spectra of So dium Vapor and Their Analysis.” He is one of this department’s favorite scientific debunkers. One of his high scores here was banishing the death-ray bogey— pertinent just now in view of our sensitiveness to Martian attack. In this connection, the British government has good reason to give him a medal. An inventor was demonstrating his death ray to British war office representa tives at Dawn. He focused the ray on a cow in a meadow 200 yards away and threw a switch. The cow flopped, dead as a mackerel. The inventor collect ed and departed. Then they found the cow’s feet wired to an underground circuit, connect ed with the inventor's switch. Professor Wood, by scientific dem onstrations, put the quietus on all death rays and offered to stand up against any of them. He invented tear gas for the Allies in the World war, developed a chemical eye by which "we can see and the enemy can't," and contributed greatly to the development of instruments of precision and spectroscopic re search. He was educated at Har vard and the University of Berlin. HpHE humanities, like sports and *• diplomacy, are becoming consid erably scrambled these days. Pro fessor Harry D. Gideonse, just tak ing over as head Warns: Man of Barnard col On Horseback’ lege's depart MayTake Us ment of social sciences, has been up to his ears all his life in dry-as-dust economics, and now, in his first work-out before the under graduates, he swings on swing as "musical Hitlerism." He says, with the current divorce of reason and emotion, and with the latter going haywire, some “man on horseback" is apt to get us. Professor Gideonse is of Dutch birth. He is a canny and cagey thinker, the author of several books on world economics and finance, and a sharp and pre cise critic of erratic trends of our civilization. He is 37 years old, born in Rot terdam, here at the age of four, educated at Columbia and the Uni versity of Geneva, a former teacher of economics at Columbia, Barnard, Rutgers and the University of Chi cago. ® Consolidated News Features. WNU Service. Coats of Smart Wools Call For Chic Felt or Fur Hats I By CHERIE NICHOLAS THE coat theme is teeming with interest this season. The array of fetching models turned out by coat-inspired style creators is mak ing front-page fashion news, and no secret as to the reason why. It is the irresistible new woolens brought out this season that (ling challenge to the designer. With such grand tweeds in colors superb, such gor geous plaids and stripes, such ster ling fleece-soft wool monotones, to gether with a list unending of in triguing novelty weaves, the reac tion could be none other than just one stunning coat after another. The outstanding feature about this season’s coats is their extreme ver satility. It matters not whether you are tall or short, slim or given to unwanted curves, whether your hair is piled high on your head in latest approved manner, or whether it de fiantly retains its youthful bob, somewhere in the vast model dis plays you are sure to find your coat affinity awaiting you. Speaking in general of the new coats, in casual as well as dressy types unfurred models vie with fur trimmed styles. Then, too, sleeves play a spectacular role. Color is also newly important. Coats in soft wool fleeces or Shet land tweeds are lovely in deep grapewine, teal blue, deep olive green, and in natural beige. Unfurred coats are in soft tex tured monotone woolens such as fleeces, shetlands, camel’s hair weaves and tweeds. They are cut on simple but clever lines with ac cent on fabric and color. See the attractive model centered in the group illustrated. Here is the type so well liked this season, in that it invites the woman who prefers to do so, to add her own fur touches such as a separate fur scarf, or a muff to match the fur on her hat. Note that the hat worn with the coat pictured is worked with Per sian lamb. A muff of same will look ever so ’’ritzy” later on. The Diamond Pleated A new achievement in pleating— diamond pleating! This fanciful pleating offers a delightful change from the usual order of either side, box, sunburst or fan pleating with which most of us are familiar. This very attractive dress is fashioned | of brown all-silk satin. The jaunty velveteen jacket complements the dress perfectly. The turban worn with it describes the new forward i movement that characterizes many j of the newer millinery creations. squared box lines of this soft fleecy coat are accented by the high collar line and by stitching detail at the high straight-across shoulder yoke and at the squared shoulders. Sheared beaver and nutria are pop ular trimming furs this season. The model to the left has a brown nutria collar, rolled high at the back. It is tailored of fleecy wool in natural beige. The big flap pockets and the tailored belt are chic details. Among the smartest and newest appearing on the style horizon is the coat of dressy type that has a swing skirt as you see pictured to the right. This stylish unfurred coat for town or campus wear is in nat ural beige Shetland tweed. It flares to a wide hemline from the fitted waistline accented by a broad suede belt in deep brown. And now about the right hat with the right coat. No matter how smart and flattering your coat may be, un less it be topped with the hat that bespeaks unerring taste, you will fall short of making the grade ac cording to the ideals of high-fash ion. Which is why we are showing two important hats in the insets, that insure good style. These voguish models by Harryson pre sent two distinct and leading types. As the season advances tall crowns grow taller. The hat inset to the right has the desired sophisticated air about its tall peaked crown. Of gray slate felt, it is effectively trimmed with laurel green ribbon. The other attractive hat savors ol the “English walking hat,” a type which is quite the rage this season. It is of supple felt in graystone with wine ribbon trim, the newest thing in color being gray accented with bright color touches. © Western Newspaper Union. —___ New Star Appears In Style Horizon When you read about the new j monastic silhouette as you ng doubt will, since it is a new and highly important star arising in the styje Armament, perhaps it will add in- 1 terest to become acquainted in ad vance with outstanding features of this signiAcant trend. Explaining brieAy, the basic idea | is a one-piece dress (no seaming at the waistline) the small waist contour achieved via the belt or gir- ' die or as adjusted by the wearer. Indications are that the inAuence of the one-piece cut (in many instances a bias cut) will be widely reAected ! in many types of garments, notably day and evening dresses, coats, and costume tunics. Veils on Hats Is New Fashion Note Hats that are completely swathed with veils not only solve the prob lem of how to hold the tiny cha peaux on sleek heads, but contrib ute a quaint note to autumn milli nery. Those old-fashioned double widths ! of veiling such as grandmother wore when she went motoring many years ago are utilized for these hat dec orations. Often the veil is draped over the entire hat and ties under the chin. Persians Inspire Coats There are many interesting coats inspired by old Persian documents. Some of them are braided or em broidered in some fashion and all of them flare. fl Q F A Quiz With Answers _ %T/NmTTrm Offering Information . ANOTHER on Various Subjects -* The Questions 1.
