The ex-Kaiser has announced his betrothal to the Princess Hermine

of Schtinaich Carolath, the daughter of Prince Henry of Reuss. The marriage will take place in November. When the engagement was first rumoured there was a storm of monarchist disapproval. This has apparently been stilled. It would seem that the loyalists have been convinced of the remote- ness of any chance of the ex-Kaiser's restoration. One would think this had been rather obvious. Now, however, even such sentiment as concerned itself with the recentness of the ex-Kaiserin's death has apparently succumbed to the feeling for the ex-Kaiser's loneliness in exile.
