Zurich, May 18. Count von der

adjutant, whose eye witness narra

ing deliberations upon, and final ab
dication of former Kaiser Wil
helm of Germany, has been secured
by Universal Service, continues as
fellows:
"His majesty replied Jhe still con
sidered himself king ofT'russia and
would stay with the army. His maj
esty told General von Plessen and
Marschall and von Hintze to report
to the field marshal the latest turn
of events. He then dismissed the
crown prince and myself. After I
had left I was once more called back
by the kaiser, who thanked me and
added:
"'I am still king of Prussia and
will never abdicate as, such. I stay
with the army.'
"I answered: 'Come arid join the
troops at the front. There your maj-
tsty will be absolutely . safe. But
promise me you will stay with the
army, no matter what happens.'
then his majesty dismissed me
again, saying:
"'I shall stay with the army.'
"I was permitted to kiss his hand
and since then I have never seen
him.
"I participated in the conference
with Field Marshal von Hinden
burg jj'hich took place presently.
General Groener said he was not
surprised. He had expected that it
would come to this. It could not be
postponed any longer; things were
about to happen.
The field marshal and Groener
then said the kaiser would have to
leave army headquarters at once and
must go to Holland, as they Could
guarantee his safety no longer.
They would not even guarantee his
life for the approaching night. A

Leaving Means Disruption.
"I was opposed to all the rest of
them when I said that in the midst
of the army would be the safest
place for the kaiser, that it would
be a most serious mistake for him
to leave the army and that his leav
ing would disrupt the atny. Hintze,
Marshall and others supported
Hindenburg's view. Hintze was au
thorized to immediately communi
cate with the foreign office at Ber
lin for the purpose of making all
necessary arrangements for the
kaiser's trip to Holland.
"All these events and conversa
tions prove beyond doubt that his
majesty during the late afternoon
Was persuaded by Von Hindenburg
and Groener to change the cojrse
he had determined upon and. in
stead of staying with the army in
the field, go to Holland. It is due
to Hindenburg's and Groener's per
suasion that the emperor left for
Holland the same night. My view
is further substantiated by the let

prince late that night."
The rreheit adds to Van Der

ing story, which it declares au
thentic: '
"November 1, the Prussian min
ister, Dr. Drews, arrived at Spa and
appeared before the kaiser for the

The kaiser's answer was:
'"Kow dare you make any such

official and subject; you, who have
sworn fidelity and loyalty to me?'
"After the kaiser had calmed down
somewhat, he added:

Scheidemann Principal Factor.
"The principal factor in this strug
gle against the kaiser was Philip
Scheidemann, leader of the major
ity socialists, now chancellor,
Scheidemann influenced Prince
Max, who insisted upon the kais
er's abdication, and brought Groen
er around to his, Scheidemann's
way of thinking. Groener today is
the head of the German army.
"Between Scheidemann pulling
the strings at Berlin and Groener
working the wires at Spa, the kaiser
was euchered. He was lied to from
both ends and finally fled in despair.
"Scheidemann played the part of
Catilina and Groener the part of
Mephistophiles in this historic
drama which was to end with the
Hohenzollerns' inglorius-exit from
the world stage."

TERRY SUFFERED
SIXTEEN YEARS
HEJECLARES
Nothing Ever Helped Him
Until He Tried Tanlac
Feel Well and
Strong Now.
"After suffering for 1C loiij
years, and failing completely tn
find a medicine that would over
come my troubles, I came acros
this Tanlac and now I am as well'
and hearty as I ever was in' my
life," said J. L. Terry, a well-known ;
organ builder who lives at 92."
North Third street, Springfield, the
other day.
"I had about come to the eon-
elusion that thers wasn't a .thing in
the world that would ever overcome
my troubles," continued Mr. Terry,
for all the medicines I had taken
up to the time I commenced tak
ing Tanlac, didn't do me any jnor
good than that much water. My
kidneys bothered me a good daa!,
and I suffered so much with pcim
in my back that I was actually
afraid to straighten up when I
walked, and just had to go stooned
over all the time. This trouble
just seemed to get worse all the
time in spite of everything I did
to check it. Than, my stomach wenr,
back on me, and after meals I would .

account of my food not digesting
properly. Sometimes my hears
would palpitate terribly on account
of gas forming in my stomach and
pressing up into my chest, and when
I would have these spells I would
simply have to fight for breath.
I would often have dizzy spells,
too, and would just have to go to
bed and stay there until they passed
off. All these troubles finally ef
fected my entire nervous system
and I got to where I never got a
good night's sleep and I just got
so weak and run down that I had
to give up my work altogether.
"As I said before, I was very

first bottle of Tanlac, the future
looked pretty dark for me so far
as health is concerned. I want to
say, however, that . everything is .
quite different now,' and the change
started very soon after I com
menced taking Tanlac. My appe
tite came back, and now it just
looks like I can't get enough to
at, and there isnt anything in the
way of food that I am afraid to
eat, and I never suffer a particl ,
from indigestion afterwards. I
have also gotten completely over
all that nervousness, and I sleep a
sound as I ever did in my life. I
never have those awful pains in
my back like I did, and my kidneys ,
seem to be in perfect condition.
