KAISER TO GIVE
At Religious Christmas Eve
Service at Amerongen—Cuts
Down Trees Himself
'U. a praam.
LONDON. Dec. tS—William Ho
hcnzollorn has arranged for himself a
Christmas celebration after the tradi
tional German style, as far as the cir
cumstances will permit, according to a
dispatch to the Dally Express from
Amsterdam today.
The arrangements, by the ex-em
peror’s Insistence, will Include the
elaborate religious ceremonies on
Christmas eve. The Idea of using the
village chapel for these, however, has
been found Impractical for various
reasons, one of them being the fear
of popular hostile demonstrations. A
service, accordingly will be held In
the drawing room of Amerongen
castle, which will be converted into a
chapel.
The ex-emperor desired to have
the court chaplain. Dr. Ernest Von
Dryander come from Berlin to preach
the sermon at the Christmas eve cere
mony. but the Berlin government has
refused permission for the chaplain
to go to Holland. Tha service will
be conducted by a German mission
ary from Zelst. near Amerongen, but
Herr Hohenzollem will deliver the
sermon himself.
Many friends of Count Von Ben
tlnck, the former emperor's host, have
been asked to attend the service, the
message adda, but have refused the
invitation. The former ruler’s audi
ence therefore will consist of Count
Von Bcntlnck and his family, the ex.
emperor’s sulto and servants of cas
tle.
Xmas trees will be provided as us
ual for the celebration. Herr Hohen
zollern cut these down himself, with
the help of two men of the estate In
the Amerongen pine woods The trees
are now being decorated and loaded
with gifts.
Loaded with gifts, the former ruler
has requested that none be given him
ntitl the ex-empress. The feature of
the Christmas dinner will be the tur
key. In accordance with Prussian
family custom, Herr Hohenzollern will
do the carving himself. There wtll al
so be a plum pudding made after an
old English recipe, which It Is sup
posed the ex-emperor’s mother, Prin
cess Victoria, took to Germany with
her from Windsor Castle.

350 ATTEND THE
_ I
Despite Rain, Many Turn Out
for War Camp Community
Service Affair at H. S.
A decidedly different attitude was
manifested on the part of the people 1
of thla city yesterday afternoon at the
community sing held in the higli
school auditorium under the auspices
of the War Camp Community Service,
than has boon evidenced before at
these sings which the W. C. C. S. has,
for the past few weeks endeavored to i
make a success in Perth Amboy.
This attitudo is what might bo
called community spirit which tends
to the uplift of civic pride and re
spect for the city in which one may j
live and also serves to bring the peo- I
pie into closer relations with one an- j
other. This spirit has seemed to bo !
lacking until yesterday.
Yesterday afternoon despite the rain l
about 360 persons came out to enjoy
the community sing and surprised
those in charge so much that it was
decided to continue this community
singing In Perth Amboy as long as the
people of the city supported them by
their presence.
Professor D. I* Spooner expressed
Ms Joy at seeing so many there yester
day and sold that he felt sure that the
people after they once realised what
this community singing meant In their !
lives, would fill the auditorium to the
last scat every Sunday.
Yesterday afternoon was largely de
voted to singing old time Christmas
carols and Mr. Spooner lead the sing
ing In such an admirable way that the
audience could not help but sing to
.the best of its ability. Everybody
entered heartily Into the spirit of the
afternoon and furthermore, everyone
enjoyed the singing. Besides the
Christmas carols, several popular
songs were rendered and the afternoon
was concluded with the ‘'Marsellaise"
and the "Star Spangled Banner.”
It was announced that the next sing
would be on Sunday afternoon, De
cember 29, and the War Camp Com
munity Service hopes that many peo
ple will attend and thus maintain the
splendid spirit that was Indicated yes
terday.
