KAISER-AND-KING STUFF Leopold von Kleist, Legal Repre- sentative of Hohenzollerns, Is Given “Call Down.” By the Associated Press. BERLIN, March $5.—Leopold von Klelst, the new general legal repre- sentative for the Hohenzollern family, has had to learn that he can‘t put the kaiser-and-king stuff over on the officials of the republic. As soon as he assumed office he had a letterhead printed with the caption, “Repre- seniative of the Prussian Royal House.” 1In his first letter to the present Prussian authorities, written on this stationery, he introduced him- * smelf as representative of his majesty, the Emperor and King. By return mail he received a letter reminding him that there had been a revolution in Germany, and that there was neither & Prussian royal house nor an Em peror and King. Herr von Kleist was quick to see the point, and the re- wminder sufficed for him to speak in later communications of the former royal house and the former Emneror and King.

ABUSE BY WIRELESS BRINGS LIBEL TESTS French Government Asked to De- fine Rights of Those Be- lieved Maligned. By the Associated Press. PARIS, March 5.--Abuse by wire- less is worrying the French because of their peculiar libel laws. The government has been asked to define the rights of those who think they have been unjustly treated by broadcasters, and the government found new legislation is needed. A person who is libeled or even {mentioned in a newspaper or other periodical has “the right of reply.” He is entitled to give his side of the case in his own language, in the same place lin the paperandat the same length as the offending passage. He can even unburden himself at greater length by {payine advertising rates for the addi- tional phraseology. This right of reply does not hold good in wireless b the Hertzian waves weren't discovered when the French law was made. . .{ Berlin Slow in Utilizing Auto. $ BERLIN.
