Kings Rich and Poor.

The other German rulers are, generally
speaklng. very wealthy. especially the
King Of saxony. whose private estate is
valued at more than 100000. On
the other hand, the King Of Bavaria IS
one Of the poorest rulers in Europe and
had to ask for an increase OF pay I'M
mediately after his coronation.
Although the German princes are so
very wealthy. II Is very difficult In some
instances to determine what their incomes
really amount TO- For instance, let US
take the case OF King Frederick August
Of Saxony. His palace In Dresden be-
longs 10 the state. but all the art treas
ures II contains are the Kings property,
and it is extremely doubtful whether the
ruler would allow these art treasures 10
be taxed as wealth, as they are invalua-
BILE and still have no market value. An
other instance Is that OF Prince FREDERICK
Henry Of Prussia. the Kaiser's cousin
He owns a park in the centre or Berlin
in the very aristocratic Koeniggraetzer-
strasse. This property is worth about 81
ono 90. but does not yield one cent, and
costs a handsome fortune in upkeep,
Should the prince have TO be taxed on
this expensive property it would mean
ruin 10 him.
The most favored Of German princes
under the present difficult circumstances
are those like Prince Furstoneers' or
Prince Won Jippe, who owns many million
dollars in land. not in Prussia, nor even
in Germany but in Austria Their wealth

PRUSSIA EXPELS :
z DANISH WOMEN
Visitors in Schleswig Had
Failed to Report to
Local Police.
From The Tribune Correspondent ]

Berlin. April 1.-Two young Danish
women were lately expelled from the
north OF Schleswig by Jealous police off,
Gals, in circumstances which seem 10 be
peculiar, but which turn out to be very
simple.
Miss e. A. Dinesen. concert singer and
daughter OF a well known Danish writer
and land owner. and Miss Helena Prahl,
a pianist, and daughter OF the Burgo-
master OF Ringsted, were paying a short
visit 10 the home of friends in the Schles-
wig town OF Sommerstedt, when their
hosts invited them TO 60 TO a private
social evening in the neighboring small
town Of Kastwraa. The invitation was
accepted and the company drove In a
carriage to a concert-room.
Naturally. the two artists consented TO
take part in the programme. At the con-
clusion. just when Miss Dinesen had fin
ished singing Won Hartmanns Cradle
Song, a gendarme appeared, and going TO
the two visitors, requested them to ac-
company him at once 10 Sommerstedt.
They asked IL they might go in their car
riage. but this request was refused, and
the two women, I'm evening dress, had TO
accompany the police official on foot.
When taken before the Chief OF Police
they were informed that they must leave
Prussia by the next train, and an order
Of expulsion was shown them, bearing
the date OF the previous day. A request
that they might return to their hosts
house and change their evening clothes
was also refused, and there and then
they were conducted to the station by
gendarme.
In the next train, which was slow
one. they were given places in a third
class carriage, a gendarme going with
them as far as the last Prusslan station
before the Danish frontier. Before leav-
ing Sommerstedt the visitors were in
formed that they would be punished IL
they again entered Prussian territory.
They reached Copenhagen none the worse
for their extraordinary treatment.
II is stated by the police that the wom-
en- had not reported themselves, and that
they were dangerous agitators who went
10 the gathering for political purposes.
The "Berliner Tageblatt," however.
characterizes these assumptions as fan
tastic. and not corresponding at all with
the facts OF the case.
