Ex-Kaiser's Grandsons With German Forces Rationing Hits Doorn House, Former Ruler Silent

Doorn, Oct. 18.

The ex-Kaiser has received his ration card for sugar, which cannot be procured without it.

Life proceeds normally at Doorn House, but a large shelter has been constructed in the garden capable of sheltering the whole staff.

The ex-Kaiser reads English and German papers and listens to broadcasts, but keeps his private views of Germany's chances of winning the war io himself.

Twenty-two of his grandsons are fighting with the German forces.—Reuter.
