NEW GERMAN GOVERNMENT PAYING WILHELM'S BILLS
Special to the Nome Nugget by The Associated Press:
A.MEKONGKX. Holland. (By Moil)—The former German Emperor has
been discussing Ids financial proteins for more than a week with Doctor/
•!• Kriege. who has been in charge of the imi>erial estates and funds in
Germany since the Hohenzozllern abdication.
Dr Kriege, who is one of the former functionaries of the German
Foreign Office,, has l»oen in conference with Herr Hohenzollern when the
latter was not engaged in wood sawing. The Marshal of the German Em
p< tor's court. Von Gontard, also participated in the discussion.
The former Emperor Is not short of money, as he possessed a con
siderable amount pn deposit in Holland before war began. Tills was ad
d'd to appreciably while hostilities were in progress. During the few stir
ting weeks preceding bis abdication, William and ltis followers transferred
further large sums in ready cash.
But William is troubled as to the fate of his real estate. He po
sessed no fewer than fifty-five castles, hunting boxes and country seats
scattered o\*er the Empire. The revenues of these properties are for the
present at least in the hands of the new governmnt, which hitherto has paid
fiom their proceeds all Herr llolienzollern's bills, forwarded to Berlin for
settlement. These accounts have been quite formidable, as the Imperial
refugee is called upon to pay for evyything he consumes, as well as for his
accommodation and the upkeep of hi} suite, besides paying the wages of the
gardeners and domestics of the Bentlnek estate who render him service while
wood-cutting or in the household.
' The expenses of the Dutch guard of gendarmes on duty around the
e. stle also fall on the Hohenzollern purse.
The German government's intentions concerning the former Ein
1 eror's private fortune cannot be gleaned here. Germans recently from
tl <• Fatherland declare there is a great deal of purely personal sympathy for
William among all classes and that It is likely he will receive a largo portion
of the value of what he owned. They say it is probable that most of the |
castles and country houses will bo sold and the cash result paid to William's
. ccount, but a number of them may be retained as government property
to Ik* used for the purposes of local government headquarters. This they
consider an equitable arrangement which will not deprive the ex-monarch
of bis rights as a private citizen as. they believe, would be the case if Ills
property were confiscated.
