Since the publication of the first edition my attention has been drawn
to a number of very interesting and instructive articles that have been
appearing in the papers from time to time. Readers who care for subjects
like the present must have themselves noted these; but there is one
article which, by reason of the great interest created in the German
Kaiser at the present moment, I am forced to reproduce. As permission to
reproduce the article was delayed the book was through the press by the
time it arrived. I am therefore reproducing here the article as it
appeared in "the _Occult Review_ of January 1917". My grateful thanks
are due to the proprietors and the Editor of "the _Occult Review_" but
for whose kind permission some of my readers would have been deprived of
a most interesting treat.

WILHELM II AND THE WHITE LADY OF THE HOHENZOLLERNS.

BY KATHARINE COX.[1]

A great deal has been written and said concerning the various
appearances of the famous White Lady of the Hohenzollerns. As long
ago as the fifteenth century she was seen, for the first time, in
the old Castle of Neuhaus, in Bohemia, looking out at noon day from
an upper window of an uninhabited turret of the castle, and
numerous indeed are the stories of her appearances to various
persons connected with the Royal House of Prussia, from that first
one in the turret window down to the time of the death of the late
Empress Augusta, which was, of course, of comparatively recent
date. For some time after that event, she seems to have taken a
rest; and now, if rumour is to be credited, the apparition which
displayed in the past so deep an interest in the fortunes--or
perhaps one would be more correct in saying misfortunes--of the
