PRINCE BEATS
KAISER AGAIN

Potsdam.-The crown prince ach-
ieved new triumph over his imperial
father. He drained the famous Letz-
lingen cup without spelling his uni
form. This cup is surmounted by deer
horns, and in order to drink out of
it one must squeeze ones face
through the narrow space between the
horns. For that reason the drinkers
usually spoil the front of their coats
with overturned wine. Young Will
liam bet with his wife that he could
drink out of the cup without spilling
drop, and to prove it he put on a
brand new white cloth uniform He
returned the uniform as clean and
nice as when he first put it on. The
Kaiser invariably spills a lot of the
wine when he drinks from the cup,
owing to the fact that it ought to be
held in two hands, while his left Is
