Too Many Small Correspondents.


BY Emperor Williams direction or.
ders have been read out In the public
schools forbidding boys and girls from
writing letters to the kaiser and en-
press. Up to short time ago the en-
peror and his consort were wont to
give attention to letters written to
them by children and, when practica.
bic, to comply with the requests con.
tained therein. This was published in
the newspapers In order to illustrate
the kind heartedness Of the kaiser and
bis wife. But this publicatio has had
the result of encouraging thousands
upon thousands Of children to address
the imperial couple in the same way
until the matter has degenerated into
a positive nuisance.
From henceforth. when a boy or
girl addresses letter to their males
ties, 1t will be turned over by the pal.
ace authorities to the teacher of the
school to which the writer belongs,
with view to severe punishment.
