EX-KAISER’S NEW WIFE DENIES RUMORS ■■ _ A _ OF FRICTION Completely Understand Each Other Interviewer at Doom Castle Is Told That Kaiser Con siders Himself Devout Man. Plans to Die in Exile Bjr KIRA IIELLBERG. Special Cable Dispatch to The Omaha Bee. Doom, Holland, Oct. S.—"Just a moment, please." I am looking straight Into the tel ephone. How the pictures of the past assemble In close ranks—the great war. hungry people, embittered looks, disabled men, towns In disor der, money values thrown Into utter confuslog—an empire In chaos. And there, right before these dis tressing pictures, runs the telephone wire with the little word "Doom” at the other end, and as a thing by It self. Lonely, out-of-the-way Doom. "You are expected at Doom at 4." But not by the one who fell when an empire was crushed to earth. I am going to Doom to meet a woman; a woman that the whole world Is talking about; who some, perhaps, are laughing at. It Is the empress at Doom: the wife of the Hohenzollern, the man who fell with his country. Door Handles Like Gold. From Utrecht the Dutch landscape spreads out, like a park of nature, Into wonderful old roads bordered by lime trees; great, fertile pasture lands, here and there beautiful villas and chateaux set amidst woods of enticing charm. In the neatest of all countries the windows reflect their own neatness, the door handles shine like gold, the red stones under foot are as scrupu lously clean as If none ever went that way. And everywhere there are flowers, flowers that seem to rejoice in the sun and fhe clear atmosphere. Holland days are things by them selves. All the sharp-cut silhouettes within the towns, tha gables of the houses, the church spires, the Inns stand out in dark relief against the lowering light. The horizon seems to melt away. The blue heavens are still so blue In their fresh coloring, as If a painter had just made use of them as his palette. And everywhere the flat country Is cut this way and that by those blulsh-whlts waterways, those famous canals of tha Dutch. As my car keeps rolling over those smooth roads I could not help but think of Rembrandt. His fantastic colorations could not have been free compositions. No, they must have been a poetic transcript of his coun try’s natural beauties and that pec liar light. Gorgeons Landscape. Taka tha sky as It appears over there above the town of Doom, filled by great white, transparent clouds, through which a sea of rarlficd mother-of-pearl streams down over the houses and the trees and the wa ter. In one day all those atmos pheric transformations! As the rays of the sun shoot through the clouds a wonderful illumination strikes the eye. Tall old trees stand In close forma tion and form a canopy as our motor ear glides almost noiselessly forward, straight towards a point where some thing reddish gleams In the light— ths town of Doom. We pass across a little square with cafes on the side walks, turn a corner, then pass a garden with a wooden fence before It, and then we come to a sudden stop between a high iron gate and a villa in the center, where three roads Join. Ths Iron gats leads Into Doom. Doom! A building of red brick lies When in Omaha Stop at Hotel Rome B ADVERTISEMENT. LOOT WATER Take Salts to Flush Kidneys if Bladder Bothers or Back Hurts.

Tty all means have your physician examine your kid neys at least twice a year. there where the three roads come to gether. A high, Iron fence covered with foliage atanda aa projection, while grass plots and flowers adorn the open spaces. In the center the building forms Into a semi circle with a carriage way. A little door at one aide stands half open. This pleasant looking building, with Its aristocratic bearing, stands guard before the park and the house Itself. Dutch Soldier on Guard. On a bench outaide tha building sits a Dutch soldier, smoking. When we finally pass the high entrance we find ourselves In a room very high to the ceiling. For a moment we stand In surprise at the picture that stretches before our eyes, a big, wide park with a long, straight and broad roadway, In the further end of which we observe a house hidden beneath columns of greenery. A broad stairway leads up to an open hall door. We notice a figure In white, a broad-shouldered man walks slowly down the steps. It Is so far that we almost need a pair of field glasses to make out the figure distinctly. I look around me quickly. To the left of the room there are two doors; one leads to the guard's room, ths other Into a well furnished apartment on the door of which we read: “Fred erick tbe Great’s Room.” To the right is the quarters of the court mar shal and special entrances from the park for the children of the emperor. The building with the entrance gate contains probably 20 rooms or more. Two big copper tablets adorn the walls of the outer building. They show the coat of arms, otherwise nothing to indicate the owner. Good taste seems to rule everywhere, not the slightest sign of overdoing things. It all seemed so totally different from the pretentious Berlin with Its “Slege salle.” Still, all tha household ef fects, furniture, rugs, curtains, art objects, personal belongings came from Berlin. The Crown Prince, The guard has gone to summon the court marshal. Count Moltke. But the very next moment we hear quick steps approaching, and a somewhat thin smart looking man in riding togs and a white sporW shirt stands before me with outstretched hand. “Have you been to see my wife” he questions eagerly. The crown prince looks well; he seems more composed and appears more tactful than formerly. The quiet life on Vierlngen appears to have suited him. But when I recall the description that the crown prin cess gave me of his home there then I understand why he likes to visit Doom and enjoys Its greater comfort 8nd greater freedom. He play* ten nis and takes great pleasure In box ing. Altogether he appears much more manly and assured than for merly. me crown prince had juat come from his father. "Ji’ould I care to look Into the apartment of Frederick the Great?" I smile consent end follow him. The crow.1* prince lives here while his sister occupies his own apart ment on the other aide of the gate. How elegant, how comfortable all is in here—the old things from Berlin and Potsdam. While we are standing In the open doorway the young duchesa of Brunnsschwlg comes along. She la dressed in white, with a string of pearls around her neck. I notice that her wrists are unusually beau tiful. There Is a rather Interesting half smile In her eyes. Apparently Doom agrees with her. Count Moltke comes with the In formation that the empress will re ceive the visitor all by herself In the salon hack of the court marshal's quarters. Has Prophecy Come True? la it possible that on this very day the prophecy about the war la to be fulfilled? It was In the 12th century that a monk prophecled that the greatest war the world has ever known would take place when there was an emperor with a crippled arm. one shorter than the other, and that when the war was over this emperor would stand beneath a lime tree and look across the borders of hla em pire. "You have plenty of lime trees here at Doom," I remarked cau tiously. "And I know who Is stand ing over there with a spade In hla hand." Count Moltke ainlled knowingly. Madam Is the guest of the empress,” came his diplomatic reply. Both of us laughed outright. The count wag right. 1 had come to Doom to see a woman, and I had promised to bt blind and deaf to much. A moment later the door opened. There wbi a soft rustle of a dress. The count pronounced my name al most under his breath. I waa alone with the emperor’s second wife. What Kaiser's Wife la Like. Well, then, I see a lady, a personal ity, one whom we may ask what she thinks of things, while she has her own opinion of matters. The empress Is of middle height. She Is dark, with comforting brown eyes, striking fac# above a broad chin, a small mouth with determina tion written around the Ups, and yet with a touch of eadnesi. Her figure is nolld, but she has the nicest ankles, and her walk la of the easy, aomewhat swaying kind. She has a eoft voice, very musical, her expression Is clear, practical and tactful. She is one of those women who ault# naturally becomes tha cen ter of any environment through fem inine loveablenesa. Wltout a doubt, the Empress Her mine la an exceptional character, an Intellectual, and a woman. Some political propangadiata have preferred to picture her its a political Intriguer. Well, well! I believe I should call her the wife of a lonely man. * The general puhlla holds to ths opinion that after going Into exile the emperor should have lived on as a monument over himself—solitary and as a prisoner—that It was for him to go over Into history as a tragical personality. This hs owed to himself, they said, to hit children and tha na tion. la No Young Girl. Oh, well. After I had seen Hoorn and hla wife I understood the mar riage. She la no young girl, no am bitious Intriguer, not a woman thirst ing after power. 8h# la a woman In her beat years, a solid character, and a good, housekeeper. Very easily shs could have entered Into marital rela tions far leas burdensome than with the lonely man at Doom. But it seems to lie that way with ua women that the helpless and unlucky ones Two Champions Here's Champion Billy Wells and the new Overland champion. Billy Wells, who fights Morrie Schlalfer at the Auditorium Monday night, la welterweight champion of England. The Overland champion, so its makers claim, reigns over an unlimited domain. j win ua the easiest. And that was how the emperor won her for his wife. We are sitting In the center of.'the veranda In the little German salon. The empress is In a black dress trimmed with wool embroidery. She carried a thin shawl. “Well, then," she said, laughing slightly. “Shall I answer some ques tions?" "Yes," I answered in confusion. "The questions are to be so negative that I cannot think of a single one.” “Just ask me something," was the comforting rejoinder. “We are both of us grown-up women and we know what it is about. Just ask me some thing." Her gaze is so open and inviting, bidding one to engage in a real in timate conversation. “No, no,” she begins, "all those re ports about disagreements in our marital life are untrue. Every six months I go to Germany to look after my affairs there. I have the interests of my estate and my chil dren to look after. No, the emperor and I understand each other fully, and we are very fond of each other, “He is so good, so entirely without envy, he values me so much that it more than makes up for any personal Inconveniences that my position en tails, for such there are. But all I want is what is good for him. It is only his well-being I care for. So far as I am concerned; it does not matter, if only I can make his ex istence a little easier and a little brighter. "Toil see. It Is rather hard now and then when the longing for home comes over qne—here In this strange land—and I have five children. Then, again, I am so interested in art and music. But, still, I have not paid too dearly for what I have obtained. *'I am needed here and I have-my hands full." the empress continued. "I must be something to everybody. We live very economically and for ourselves. We are poor: we cannot afford to have many visitors. Things in Holland are very dear, and the sad conditions In Germany do not make for any desire for entertain ment. For that reason everything here Is simplicity Itself. Kaiser Dans to Die in Doom. "My husband has settled down here at Doom for good, and while he hopes and believes that changes impend in the German situation, he does not count on his own return. He is confident that lie shall live and die In Doom. His health Is excellent and he Is in good spirits. True, he worries over the uadi conditions In the home country, but lo him It all ap pears as trials come from God. Not as a punishment, but as a matter between one's soul and his God. "He reads a great deal, follows all current events, occupies himself much with the Bible and Is a faith ful Lutheran without being a bigot. Each morning he conducts religious services for the family and the serv ants. On Sundays ha reads aloud a sermon by Pastor Conrad or aome other minister. "His general knowledge Is to me a great comfort. I can ask him any question I want and ha has an an swer for all art, history, language, philosophy. I wish you could get to see lilm aome time. His spiritual concepts are admirable and he em braces everything within his think ing." I saw her blush as aha met my smiling look. "It is true," she remarked. "I like him so much, and yet they write so much about him that is stupid and foolish. As for instance, that story about tho gland operation. The em peror never underwent such an opera tion or any similar one, and he has never given it a thought. It is noth ing but pure propaganda. "And then about our Jewels. Thay insist that he bought a most expen sive piece of Jewelry for me in Ber lin. It was a rich man. an entire stranger to us, who was the pur chaser. Apart from my wedding ring I have not received a single orna ment from the emperor, neither any thing newly bought or of the em press’. My husband disinherited him self for the benefit of his children and all the Jewels were divided among them. "So, also^ with all the other things that were Ker property. That which is found here at Doom he holds In high reverence. Everything else the children have and not the least thing has been disposed of. It offends me greatly when I merely think how any one con believe this of him. He is the most conscientious person In all the world. That is why I am so much concerned with seeing him protected, and cared for. We assist each other and I want to do all in my power for j his welfare." No Domestic Quarrel*. A melancholy *mile poseesee# her. "I ran assure you that those atorlea about any difficulties at Doom sr* inventions. The emperor is her# to remain.” Hermine von Hoheneollern is a sen sible, clever woman, with a heart that draws one to her as with a magnet. She is exactly what Count Moltke said of her: "To all of us who are here at Doom she is a remarkable, a most wonderful woman." Indeed, I can understand what she must mean to this home without a root In the soil. It Is as If she send* good thoughts over all things and over everybody. She le the arbitrator whenever this is required, can handle disagreeable matters tactfully, but without reserve; keeps Irritating af fairs from the emperor. She Is a good comrade, a society lady of true bear ing and posscssee exceptional femi nine charm. A monarch In exile may count him self fortunate that be has one equipped as she. What They Do Each Day. She told me of their dally life. Over there In the house she and the em peror have their Jiome. There are 14 rooms In all, of which the dining room, music-room and' small salon and a smoking-room are on the first floor. Here also are three guest chambers. Upstairs is the Imperial couple’s private quarters. Close by live the children of the empress, the governess and the servants. The em peror’s children and their families are domiciled In the new building at the gate where we were sitting and here are likewise the offices of the court marshal and the secretary. The day Is occupied with morning services at 8:30, breakfast at 9, ans wering letters and work out of doors. Dinner is served at 1. After that everybody rests for an hour or so. Then comes perhaps a walk, reading until teatime, at 4:30—on this par ticular hay a half an hour later—and then supper at 8. The empress describes to me her moments with the emperor, the two lonesome ones up there In their apart ment. She reads aloud or she may be listening to his talks, hla outspoken dreams, almost can hear what he is thinking. I can see what this quiet, composed woman with that tender look In her eyes, must mean to this man who before her coming was as one condemned by the whole world. He has In his wife what every man desires, be he emperor or cobbler— a mother to take him by the hand, a faithful comrade In moments of sorrow or Joy and the affection that only a true woman can bestow. Don’t Expect an Heir. My eyes pass casually over her fig ure and once more she smiles. “No," she said, “we expect no heir. Just don't believe the newspapers." And we both burst out laughing. At the outer gate our ways parted. She goes back to the man standing under the lime tree, my eteps lead outside to the driving clouds with the light that only Rembrandt's Hol land can furnish. The crown princess and the em press! The first named might be able to unite a sundered empire, car ry Germany's burdens on her shoul ders as might a mother her dearest charge. The other one—should she ever be called to such a task—might support the man at the helm, but she is minus the monumental qualities that characterize Cecilia, her classical uniqueness. However, Hermlne pos sesses tender intelligence. I can think of the first ons as going it alone the latter as only walking hand In hand with a man. 1 should like to compare the Empress Hermine to a finely-wrought piece of jewelry, the crown princess to a piece of smooth but precious metal.
