"I have," said General Ludendorff briefly. "I have overlooked nothing, Sire."
"So it would seem," said the Crown Prince angrily, "but I shall sign just the same."
He attached his signature to a second paper produced by General Ludendorff.
And thus ended the rule of the family of Hohenzollern.
CHAPTER XXIV
IN TROUBLE AGAIN
Hal and Chester, from their place of concealment, had been interested spectators of the abdication of the German emperor, and his son, the Crown Prince.
"By Jove!" said Hal, drawing back, "this is a sight we can brag about the rest of our natural lives."
"I should say so," agreed Chester. "And so the kaiser has abdicated. Who would have thought it?"
"Certainly not the kaiser himself four years ago," was Hal's response. "But it just goes to show that right is bound to triumph in the end."
