AGAIN VISITS MUSIC HALLS.
BY LADY HENRY SOMERSET.

LONDON, Feb al learn from
Berlin that Germany Is by no means
highly enthusiastic about the ap'
preaching visit OF the king and queen
This and a cold may prevent the
queen from going at all. Anyhow, she
does not like the German capital and
is not fond OF her royal consorts I'M
perial nephew.
The kaiser is trying TO make his
uncle's visit brilliant affair, but the
program has now been cut down ~
three days stay, which will give the
king little time 10 do much more than
attend state dinner He will have
tea with the burgomster, which VIII
be a tame ceremony compared with
the dinner OF royalties at the castle.
Late dispatches show that the So
cialists do not propose 10 permit the
English sovereign TO ignore the power
they have obtained politically in Ger
many They admit the kings visit
may loosen the strained relations be-
tween both countries. but they pro-
test against the cost of the visit being
met out OF the taxpayers money. Paul
Singer. the Socialist leader and
Ilt0lDt vi INC Dtlhu NOuhebt hec
protested against Berlin spending sl5,'
900 for street decorations.
Herr Singer said I'VE desire to
promote peaceful relations between
England and Germany. but we see no
reason why municipal money should
be spent on kings visit II the
king comes TO visit his nephew that
person ought TO assume all the ex-
pense.

Transforming two boxes into a royal
box.
When the persons who had engaged
the boxes arrived. the management
had TO invite them TO go elsewhere
because the king had taken their
boxes
The king seemed bored by the bal
let. but showed deepest interest In the
moving pictures OF the earthquake at
Messina. While the pictures were on
the screen he never lowered his opera
glasses His majesty remained silent
for several minutes afterward, the hor.
rors of the photographs obviously I'M
pressing him deeply.
The kings deviation from his rule
never to visit music hall was due TO
his equerry, John Ward, son-inlaw OF
the American ambassador. Mr.. Ward
and his wife saw the pictures q few
nights previous and the equerry tolc
the king about them. His majesty In
stantly expressed his determination to
see them.
