BERLIN | Kaiser’s | Berlin, April $—A battle royal has broken out between “Empress* Hermine, wife of ex-Katser Willlam i1, and former Crown Princess Ce. cile, wife of the former emperor's eldest son, Frederick Willlam. The stake is the vacated throne of Ger- many, Cecile is fighting for her first born, Prince Willlam, who will be 21 on July 4. “Kaiserin” Hermine f{s fighting, not as generally belleved, tor her husband's return to the throne, but for her oldest son by her first marrlage, Prince Hang tieorg von Schienaich-Carolath who will be 20 on November 3. In Potsdam court circles it s generally believed that Hermine is influencing the former emperor to adopt her children by her first mar- rlage. It 13 also rumored that she ! does mot look with disfavor upon | torles appearing from time to time ! n the press that tend to discredit the Hohenzollerns still residing in Potsdam, including the former crown prince and his family, Prince Eitel Friedrich, Prince August Wil- lfam and Prince Oscar. Hermine, it is stated, has adopted the slogan, “new blood is needed in the Hohenzollern family.” Progress Alters Prussian Courts Borlin, April 9 — The Prussian law courts have at last succumbed to a form of modernization. More than 3,000 typewriters have been installed in the principal courts where most of the clerical work, | with the exception of letter writing, | has been done with pen and ink as of old.

Cabinet Minister Sclected by Lot Berlin, April 9—Choosing a cab- inet minister by lot is a political in- novation of the German free state of Mecklenburg. When the soclalist-democratic coalition government headed by Premier ‘Paul Schroeder stumbled over the budget bill and failed to obtain a vote of confidence, the Mecklenburg parllament reassem- bled to choose a new cabinet by the prescribed mecthod of voting. Schroeder was reelected by a vote of 25 to 24, as was also the minister of finance, Asch. When the posi- tion of minister of education came up for vote, three ballots resuited in & tie between the democratic in- cumbent, Moeller, and the candidate of the right, Stammer. The salons jof Mecklenburg, finding that meal hour was well advanced, yet duly mindful of their responsibility to their constituents decided to cast lota. Moeller won. Stray Dogs To Be Guides For Blind Berlin, April 9—More than stray hounds in the dog pounds of various large cities of Germany will | escape execution by gas in the next few months if they behave them- selves, but they will be dedicated to the service of blind veterans of the war.

London, April —London dress- makers are in arms against the sale by wealthy members of the aristo- cracy of thelr cast-off gowns to not- 80-well-to-do friends. The dressmakers declare thelr business has suffered perceptibly, and if the practice continues many of the establishments would suffer severely through loss of trade. The , dressmakers claim that many h- ionable women, when thelr pocket books can afford it, wear a gown but nce, and then offer it for sale at an attractive discount. | It one-half of the original pur- chase price is realized on a used gown, the woman for whom the creation was mads thinks she has jmade a good bargain indeed. As ia matter of fact, the dressmakers assert, most gowns go at one-fifth, {or even less of their first cost, | this has raised havoc in the dress- makers' trade, with no end of the difficulty in sight. Mrs. Wiifrid Ashley, wife of the minister of transport, set the pace some time ago, disposing of her dresses to friends, little realizing the outcome of this mov.
