The bobbed-haired sisterhood—and that takes in pretty nearly every voung, or youngish, woman in New York—has invaded these strongholds of masculinity with a vengeance. A tour of some of the better shops, not- ably those located in the terminals and the big hotels, disclosed nearly a 50-50 division between stubbly-faced males and boyishly bobbed females Sceks Women's Trade.

Gen. von Seeckt. the present chief of staff of the reichswehr, is never seen with- out a monocle, but his German de- fenders declare that it is never re- garded as a sign of arrogance Or haughtiness on his part.

OLD RIGHTS SOUGHT BY HOHENZOLLERNS |&-z:2: German Courts Have Made Some Contention That State Owes An- nuity to Royal Family. By the Associated Press. BERLIN, June 2.—Where is the dividing line between the private property of the Hohenzollerns and the property held by virtue of regal sta- tion? Is the Hohenzollerns' former kingly job entitled to an annuity like that of a superannuated state offi- cial? These questions are the subjects of heated litigation between the Hohenzollerns and the Prussian min- istry of finance. Pending settlement, princes and princesses of the former imperial house are receiving a month- 1y rental equaling the highest salary paid a Prussian official, namely, 400 gold marks. The question of disposal of the vast estate of the various German royal houses_arose after the 1918 revolu- tion. While other states settled the issue either by compromise or by legislation, there as yet has been no agreement on the subject between inclined to make concessions and to yield certain properties obviously given the crown for representation purposes, but as a result of Germany's. swing toward the right they now insist on all their possessions, totaling 500,000 acres in various parts of Prussia. The former rulers have also been rental or pension is based on the con- tention that the state owes the de- throned monarch an annuity similar to that given a pensioned official. The former royal family’s attitude in Claiming all their = possessions is deeply resented by many Germans, who point out that private citizens made heavy sacrifices during the war, and who ask why the princes should insist on their pound of flesh, Contly to State. The litigation is costing the state many millions of marks, an expense which would have been avoided had a simple law regulating the situation been passed immediately after the revolution. “Fat duck,” meaning big canard, was the usual marginal comment of former Kaiser Wilhelm on newspaper items which he did not believe. This was divulged at the recent trial of two foreign office officials charged with selling from the official files clippings annotated by the kaiser. Other drastic expressions which he used were “bumk,” ‘rubbish” and “idiocy.” Often the crude drawing of a duck registered the imperial opinion. The trial developed the fact that the kaiser's knowledge of world affairs was based I ly on clip- pings supplied by lhelmstrasse, and later carefully filed with the emperor's comments. The two officials were charged with selling twenty clippings with marginal notes to Finland for 50,000 marks.
