never appears happy unless he
is Iu hot water. Just at present
the Germon ruler is being severely con-
demned I'm many quarters for his action
In placing FIVE of his 40 castles on the
market There Is undoubtedly need for
economy among both high and low In
this country. but it Is pretty generally
agreed that the kaiser has taken poor
and nl-advised means 10 that end.

public have received this latest EFFORT
OF their ruler to live within his enor-
