EVEN THE RHINE RISES AGAINST THE EX-KAISER! 



Ai if to emphasize the tragic isolation In which that un- 

 happy man finds himself, the house in Holland in which the 

 ex-kaiser has taken refuge is now cut off from the rest of 

 the world by far-spreading floods and it is the Rhine of 

 all rivers which has thus risen against the fallen war lord 

 of the huns. The photograph shows a magnificent avenue 

 of trees in the rear of the castle, completely flooded, which 

 the ez-kaiser was in the habit of using as a promenade.
