Every year the factory turns out a

The New Palace.
The New Palace at Potsdam seems
to be his favorite, for there he has
all the delights of country life. yet it

automobiles. The New Palace was
planned by Frederick the Great dur
ing the seven years war and built by
him as visible proof of his wealth

dollars. It was erected on this par
ticular spot through pure obstinacy.
because he was told that a palace
of this type could not be set up on
such a marshy ground. II will build
one there. he declared, although
I do not need It," and he never re-
sided there for any length OF time.
Built in the Rocco or Louis XIV. style
and decorated with mediocre sculp-
ture, but with the effect of withered
sandstone figures against the red brick
background. the effect is rather pretty.
Emperor Frederick III. was born in
this palace and died there in June.

throne had the place thoroughly reno-
waited and a number of modern i'm
provements put in. He also added the

Big trees covered with sweetmeats and
lights are set about the room. At the
top OF each is the Christmas Angel
with tinsel wings and large silver
star about her head. All the members
of the family and their suite receive
their Christmas presents in the Shell
Room. The Emperor is the rnerriest
of them all, and his delight at seeing
staid old army Officers feasting on
cakes and candies with their eyes
dancing with delight over the Christ
mas trees, is almost childish.
The poor are not forgotten. for the
Kaiserin sends gifts to the hospitals

A
Jew men,if any, have been In the
public eye as much as the
Kaiser during the last twenty
q five years. His intense devotion
10 the Fatherland. combined with an
oyerpowering self-conhdence, has been
his chief Characteristic, and during his
reign Germany has made the greatest
progress in her history and has ad-
vanced In the arts and sciences more
perhaps in that time than any other
nation.
Let us look for a moment into the
domestic life of the Kaiser as shown
7 by the many palaces in which he re-
z sides from time to time, for whatever
criticism may be addressed against his
political career nothing can be said
against his home life or his devotion
to his family or his interest I'm their
welfare. He spends this domestic life
at one palace or another as may suit
HIS within or purpose invariably with
the devoted Kaiserin at his side. Even
Z when he goes hunting he arranges to
have her spend part of the time at
the hunting lodge. His visit to the
front is one of the few trips he has
made without her.
Domestic Life Happy.
The domestic life of the Kaiser and
Kaiserin Is much the same as that OF
any welI-bred German family-that is,
when they are at home In one of their
thirty palaces and hunting lodges
scattered through out Germany.
It would require volume to de-
scribe all these palaces. so only the
MOST important ones will be men
TONED. The palaces which are the
1avorite dwelling places of the Kaiser
are the New Palace at Potsdam and
the Berlin Schloss.
The palace at Strassburg he detests
because there is no privacy to the
grounds, and he cannot take his ac-
c,astomed exercise without being an
object of curiosity to every passerby.
He has frequently declared that 1t was
bufIt before his time and is more like
town hall than a home.

only the tile workers and small farm
ers are to be found within a radius
of several miles. The Emperor takes
the greatest delight and interest in
his factory and has built comfortable

It was only after the Kaiserin had

could be prevailed upon to remain.

London. Jan. 1.-The idea prevails IN
London that while rates here will he

be low in the United States unless the
national banks. under the necessity OF
supplying the regional banks with cap
ital. prove unwilling to accommodate
their own customers in large amounts,
in which case they will curtail their
loans. THE Statist" says. Thus
rates may be kept up in New York
even though coin and notes flow back
from the interior, as usual, as soon as
the new year sets in
The English view is that If the ma
tional banks have TO curtail their ac-
commodation in order not to neon
venience customers they will prob
ably take gold from Paris and Berlin
where they have large credits, instead
Of from London. OF course, if they

However, experts say that rates IN
the United States will he low, and on
the Continent, too, for, as is well
known, money now is very plentiful IN
Berlin. The rate there is ! per cent
lower than in London. In Vienna, too,
rates are tending downward.
In Paris the rates are kept up by the
perplexities caused by the national loan
situation. but as soon as that matter IS
settled they will be lower. NJ. CaillauX
holds out the hope Of being able TO lay
out his whole financial plan before the
end Of the month. and until then there
will not be much activity in Paris. but
after the Minister of Finance has an
nounced his decision a remarkable out
burst OF activity is probable for not
only the national loan but for Russian
and Servian issues, and If France ana
Germany can come TO friendly arrange
ments respecting spheres Of influence in
Asiatic Turkey France will probably
lend a large sum 10 Turkey. despite the
recent purchase by the ottoman gov

ment in Europe

ness. saying: LAS soon as the prepare
