GERMAN PRINCESS
TO MAKE DEBUT
Coming Out of the Kaiser's
Daughter Is Marked by a Red
Tape Tangle

BERLIN, Jan. 20.--The feature OF
the imperial court season will be the
debut OF the kalser's only daughter,
Princess Victoria Louise, who was u
last September. says a cable to tho
New York American. She is not pretty,
but Is tall slender graceful and as
vivacious as her father. She will be
the center OF attraction at the court
balls
The princess will be obliged to
choose her own partners from the
young officers OF the crack regiments,
as no civilian is ever allowed To dance
with an imperial princess. Moreover
the princess mus: not choose the same
partner more than once, nor at two
successive balls. In order TO avoid
gossip. The officers she ought to
choose are indicated by her ladies' IN
waiting. The decision goes by rank
and title. Though the princess may
lose her heart TO any officer she viii
rot be permitted To marry any one not
OF royal birth.
Her hrst season, bound about with
all this red tape, is likely to prove
somewhat less happy than that OF
debutantes who are not OF royal state.
Too Close to Real Life.
A curious libel suit will shortly De
heard here. The plaintiff. Baron Won
Liebenberg. an impecunious Austrian,
Is suing the composers OF the opera,
1.-The Count OF Luxembourg, basing
HIS action on the plot wherein an OF
f,cer OF noble birth IL paid by a royal
prince To marry woman for the pur'
pose OF providing her with a title In
order 70 enable the prince TO continue
his friendship without attracting too
much attention.
Now Baron Liebenberg acted the
part OF this officer.
In real life when Prince Joachim
lAlbrecht of Prussia induced the baron
to marry Marie Sulzer. an actress with
whom the prince was enamored, prom
ising Liebenberg a large sum or money
on condition that he disappear ini'
mediately the ceremony was over,
Liebenberg carried out his share of
the contract, leaving his wife with the
prince in London. The promised
money did not arrive. and Liebenberg
puDllb1eu Nne SlOls.
Now he claims that the opera ex-
poses him TO ridiculc,
How, the Kaiser Snubbed Him.
The resignation OF General Chevalief
Hentschel Won Gllgcnheim. command
ing the Fifteenth army corps in Al
sace-Lorraine, is an example OF the
kaiser's effective method OF getting
rid OF officers whose military accomp-
llishments and personal qualities dis
please his majesty.
! Evtry year the emperor summons
all the commanding generals TO confe.
and dine with him at Berlin. The
kaiser always seizes this opportunity
TO indicate the officers who are Tor
feiting mis- favor. This year his
majesty exchanged a few friendly
words with all the generals save Gil
I Renhetni. The snub was unmistakable
and the general within a few hours re-
signed.
The le-year-old Los Angeles girl
Olga Steeb. who was recently ac-
claimed the worlds greatest living
pianist by Berlin critics, has now
achieved the conquest OF Cologne. the
1 Berlin verdict aroused some prejn'
dice throughout Germany. as II was
thought Impossible that such 4
youngster could possess such talent
hut Fritz Steinbach. OF Cologne, one
OF the most eminent critics in Europe
now declares she is a marvel and that
THE Berlin verdict was sound.
