SUNDAY, AUG. 1, 1937 NEWS Of The DAY (By The Associated Press) Chamberlain Letter Considered Significant LONDON, July 31.-(P)-A person- al letter from Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain to Premier Benito Mus- solini reached Rome today and per-I sons-close to the government consid- ered it a significant effort to improve Anglo-Italian relations. They said it indicated the Prime Minister had taken over direction of the Empire's troubled relations with Italy from Foreign Secretary An- thony Eden, whose contactsrwith Il Duce and Italian leaders have not been cordial since the crisis over Ethiopia two years ago. The Italians considered Eden large- ly responsible for the League's invo- cation of sanctions in the effort to halt. the conquest of Ethiopia. The letter arrived at the Italian foreign office today and was forward- ed at once to Rimini, where Il Duce was vacationing. Though British gov- ernment sources declined to state flatly that the letter was sent, it ad- mitted at 10 Downing Street-Cham- berlain's office-that it was "quite likely."

DOORN, Holland, Aug. 1.-P)- Twenty-three years ago today Ger- many declared war on Russia and Wilhelm II signed the general mobili- zation. order. The next day German troops in- vaded France. Today the man who was accused of plunging the world into battle sits on a knoll of his 50-acre estate here, absorbed in roses. Once attended by generals and ministers, today he is accompanied by a soft-eyed dachshund.I Mustache Bristles No More The bristling mustache to which he gave his name is gray. It bristles no more but its tips still point sky- ward. A gray beard covers his once- arrogant chin. His stern face has softened, grown more angular. The world was at his throat when the abdicated monarch fled to Hol- land 19 years ago. He found shelter with friends and Holland protected him. In 1920 he bought his 50-acre domain in Doorn. Seventeen years have drowned the hatred. Now, at 78, the ex-Kaiser seems a handsome gentleman of the; old school. His personal sorrows- the suicide of his youngest son, Prince Joachim, soon after the war, the death of the former kaiserin in 1921 -have been forgotten. The ex-Kaiser has been alone part of this summer. His consort, the business-like Kaiserin H e r m i n e, whom he married in 1922, went toI supervise her properties in Germany. None of the children of her former mariage were there when an Asso- ciated Press correspondent visited Doorn recently. At one side of the ex-Kaiser's rosarium is a slight eminence. Al- though the garden is open to those of the public who get tickets of admission from the stern-visaged Dutch gendarme at the guardhouse, the knoll is chained off and marked "private." Gifts From Old Friends The gorgeous colors spread beforel this haven of peace come from flow- ers that are gifts from persons and organizations dear to the old man's heart. Little metal plates at each bush are the reminders. One reads "The Germans of Cin- cinnati"; another "The German No- bility League"; many from various parts of Germany are "marked "The Kaiser-True Youth." Intimate With Dutch His dark blue Mercedes car takes him to tea parties at the homes of the Dutch nobility round about and there are occasional tea parties at Doorn House. He maintains a cor- dial, if not intimate friendship with, the Dutch royal family. As the former monarch sits among his roses the Westminster chimes sound six. Time to dress for dinner. The silver-haired gentleman rises from the white seat. With the dachs- hund at his heels, and nodding to gardeners as he passes he disappears into the yellow manor house in the sunset. FISH CHASES WOMAN MADISON, Wis., July 31.-(P)- Mrs. Austin Forkner reported that a 30-inch wall-eyed pike, flipping its fins near the shore of Lake Mendota, chased her through the water after she hit it with an oar. She said she caught it with a net. CHICAGO, July 31. - (AP) - Two horses won the $45,000 Arlington Fu- turity today. Running the first dead heat in Fu- turity history, Tiger, entry of Mrs. Ethel V. Mars of Chicago, and Ted- dy's Comet, carrying the colors of Emerson V. Woodward, Houston, Tex., raced six furlongs to a deadlock in the richest juvenile stake of the year, climaxing the highly successful 30 day Arlington Park meeting. Dellor, the hardest working three year old on the turf, galloped to a surprise victory in the $20,000 Arling- ton Handicap, secondary stake on the rich closing day program, witnessed by 35,000 cheering spectators. Racing as a team most of the jour- ney, Tiger and Teddy's Comet flashed across the finish line so close that the placing judges, even after exam- ining the photograph under a mag- nifying glass, could detect no mar- gin. The Texas owned Teddy's Comet, was up in the final stride to catch the entry of Mrs. Mars Tiger's run- ning mate, C-Note was third. Her horses were prohibitive favorites at 1 to 2.
