i Waiting for Something. LONDON", Nov. 22. The Dally Mail at-1 tributes to a "high official of tho Rrittsh government" the statement that "William "Wil-liam HohenzoUern is still German eni-! eni-! peror and king of Prussia as far as the J British government is informed, and is apparently waiting; for something to turn up." "The Berlin government," the official added, according to the Daily Mail, "has not made any communication to the allies or the United States notifying- us of his t abdication. We think it almost certain Jw that jf the abdication occurred notiflca-kion notiflca-kion would have been sent at least to the iC ii i red States. "No abdication document bearing the kaiser's signature is in existence as fains fai-ns the outside world knows nothing but ihpt perfunctory statement of Prince Maximilian, Max-imilian, in which he used the words, 'thron verzicht,' meaning renunciation of the throne, and not the word 'abdan-kung.' 'abdan-kung.' meaning abdication. Wilhelm, therefore, undoubtedly still regards the throne as his and the world must contemplate contem-plate the probability that he expects to return. ' While Holland cannot doubt that the allies do not relish her affording him asylum, there has not been as vet any Joint effort of the associated governments govern-ments to extradite him. William is spending most of his time m bed in his retreat at Amerongen castle, because of the illness with which he was suddenly stricken recently, according to the Amsterdam correspondent of the Daily Express. Two officers take turns In reading novels and' newspapers to the former emperor. Jt Is understood, adds the correspondent, that the illness Is influenza.
