He I rises early, goes for a stroll before he I has a simple breakfast at 9 o’clock. I works and saws in the woods for two | ( >r three hours and comes home for I it simple luncheon and a nap. Then I follow several hours of indoor work. I tt)Pll tea, more work at Ills desk and I a particularly simple dinner. This I dinner is so modest that nearly every | visitors leaves with a slightly disap I pointed feeling. ■■To dine with the Kaiser” and to | he served with a little meat, potatoes, | one vegetable, some pudding and fruit | and coffee, is less than most visitors I expect. And Wilhelm eats very sparI ingly hi previous years he used to I make the dinners somewhat more ex- | tensive, hut this occurs now only when I there are very special guests. The ex-Kpiser dislikes to put on weight. Sawing Wood His Hobby The ex-Kaiser’s hobby is still sawing wood and his gardening. The latest work of his hands, in a manner of speaking, is the Rosarium which he presented to Doorn and lies between his grounds and the main road. A hoard announces proudly that this is the "Kaiser Wilhelm Rosarium." and informs the public what is allowed and what is not. A solitary keeper in the German greyish-blue uniform paces to and fro. He tells the United Press correspondent in German about his war experiences, how he fought in Mesopotamia with the Turks and on the Italian front. Along the I’iave a shell found him. “Nine killed and twenty wounded,” he sail, “anil I still have three big pieces of shell in my leg.” The Rosarium is a small park devoted to many varieties of roses. It is about 100 yards by 300 with an enormous vase in the center. The vase is of Untenberger marble designed by the German Professor Bezner and prominently decorated with a crowned “W” and the date 1928. It is of classic type and would be more at home in the Sieges Allee in Berlin than simple Doorn. Witnesses Visit The United Press correspondent wit nessed one of the ex-Kaiser's visits to the Rosarium. It was the first day the park was closed to the public for the winter. Wilhelm was bareheaded.

(dad in a dark green suit with grey ■ woolen sweater underneath. He wore ’ brown leggings. The short left arm was held tightly against his body. The purpose of Wilhelm's visit to the Rosarium was to saw wood. There are still some trees in one corner of i the park and Wilhelm was chopping and sawing them into blocks. While the workmen are preparing a tree for Wilhelm’s attentions I had ample opportunity to study the exEmperot of Germany and compare him with the man he was ten years ago when he fled into exile. On November 11. 1918, I was the only journalist to witness the arrival of Wilhelm at Count Bentinck’s castle at Amerongen, Holland, where Wilhelm was exiled more than a year. I smuggled myself into the grounds in one of the Dutch military ears carrying his luggage and secured a “closeup' 'of this bit of history. From a vantage point behind some trees I saw the ex-Kaiser dismount from the m< tor-car. Before entering the castle he was introduced to several persons and doffed his uniform cap. He did not seem a broken man. He was bronzed and well. He bote himself with the “War land" manner and his face wore the wilful expression so well-known from his war photographs. Only one outward detail struck me tile famous pointed mustaches drooped- Perhaps he had not then abandoned hope that he might return Io Germany as a monarch. Hair Snow White But ten years have counted. His hair is now snow white and his heard is graying fast. The famed erect mustaches disappeared long ago. Now it is an ordinary must tn he. His movements still how great vitality but he is heavier and fatter. The face shows more color ami the expression is not so seve e nor wilful perhaps jollier. But the lines around Hi” e' a” 1
