entitled 'Our Kaiser and His People
Germany's Troubles" is selling like hot
cakes all over Germany.

Kaiser deals with the ministers of state

20 long, prosy reports. the Emperor
lounges against the wall and plays with
his dachshunds. II the minister does
not take this hint. he sends the dogs
scampering round the room, running
into the minister's legs and -srly up
setting him. Then, having made the
bore so nervous that he is forced 10
break OF his discourse, the Kaiser dis
misses him with a goOd-natured re-
mark. blaming ii all on the Digs.
