Kings Place in Royal Household
Likened to That Of Victoria's Con-

London-An Anglo-American WON

king of England is credited with joke
which is now going the rounds or Lon
don society. We have the court CT
Queen Victoria" she said, then the
court of King Edward and now we
have the court Of Queen Mary"
Those members of society who fail
to see the point-report has 1t there
are some-have it pointed out to them
that King George occupies much IN"
same position in the royal menage as
did that poor prince Consort who could
lot have a dish he liked put in the
menu without first consulting his
queenly spouse.
While some allowance must be made
COR eXaggeration, it is a fact that King
Georges reliance on his wife is car
ried to a degree of selfeffacement
which strikes all the members of the
court circle.
Prominent and respOnsiD ole members
Of the royal establishment are all now

had better consult the queen" when
they seek King Georges directions
about any matter in connection with

Many Lawsuits in Germany
Nearly 100000 Cases Fought Out in
the Courts of the Country
Every Year.

Berlin.-Nearly 100000 lawsuits
are fought out in the German courts
yearly. This number does not include
criminal cases, the myriad of proceed
ings to recover a penalty, nor the
quasicriminal actions brought for in
suit, etc. The figures mean, roughly
one lawsuit for every eleventh per-
son in the empire, counting women
and children. and since each suit in
wolves at least two persons. the pro
portion is much greater, even allow
ing for the fact that many persons are
chronic litigants. conducting a number
of lawsuits at the same time.
These facts are made the basis for
an article in a current German pub
LEGATION by a Dortmund jurist. He re-
fers to the situation as a lawsuit
plague" and says it demands more
victims yearly than does tuberculosis
The cost. both in time and money is
enormous. A case which goes to the
imperial supreme court requires at
least three and one-half years for final
suit for an object valued at not more
than s12 amount to $50; for an OBJ
ject worth up to 1920. the cost is s115.
Germans pay to lawyers each year
S7,500000 in actions on account, in
volving 81, 100000. in cases where the
debt is not denied.
In the so-called collegial courts.
that is, courts presided over by two or
more judges and corresponding rough
ly to American courts of record, par
ties to the suit may not represent
themselves, but are compelled to en-
gage attorneys. This is true even in
the case of litigant attorneys them
selves.
The author of the article in ques-
ton cites case which Is. he declares,
by no means unusual. One farmer
sued another to compel the return OF
a saw. The trial court decided in
favor of the plaintiff. and the case
was appealed. IL the meantime the
saw was lost. The putative owner
thereupon brought action to recover
it's value. The parties being unable
to agree an expert witness was called
who testified that the saw was worth
II cents. The process lasted three
years and the costs amounted to more
than $25. The writer says it should
be impossible to set such ponderous
machinery In motion for tricial cases
and commenting on this tendency in
the German people says; The Ger
man Michael will sue the shirt of his
back in order to obtain decree In
black and white in the kings name
setting forth his theoretical rights"

whom the king desired to have asked
to the ball. 1t was probably a matter
of Indifference to the king whether
the Castlereaghs were invited or not,
but his majesty had promised Sir
Charles Gust, a member of the house
hold. that they should be invited and
King George subsequently told Sir
Charles he was sorry the invitation
was not sent. He pleaded as an ex-
,use that he left the arrangement OF
all these matters in the queens hands
During the past few months the
queen was present at official inter
views between King George and some
of the cabinet. These interviews take
place in the kings writing room in his
personal apartment, which Queen Mary
mas also of late taken to use as a
writing room, with the result that she
mas sometimes been in the room on
he arrival of the minister and re-
manned there during the interview. At
last representations were made by Mr..
Asquith to Lord Stamfordham that
some of his colleagues objected to the
presence of the queen during their in
terviews on state affairs with the sov-
ereign, and Lord Stamfordham. who
by no means approves of the authority
Mary exercises in the royal house
hold, readily enough undertook to con-
vey the prime minister's message to
both their majesties, with the result
that ministerial audiences with the
sovereign are now no longer attended
by his consort. More recently still
Queen Mary received a respectful, but
plain, reminder from the lord cham.
berlain that she was taking upon her.

ionged to the king. This was when
Queen Mary notified the lord chamber.

EXPRESS RATES TO Be REDUCED
HEAVY REDUCTIONS MADE BY
ORDER OF COMMITS SlON.
Effective February l, and Will Be Be-
low Parcels Post-Mileaee
Basis Abandoned.

Houston, TeX-Some rates cheaper
that shippers asked for years ago,
rates that were finally established be
cause OF the emphatic order of the
interstate commerce commissioners
quoted by all express companies OPP
Grating in the United States in new
tariffs Just issued, and which become
effective Feb. l.
They are approximately II per cent
lower than rates now maintained, and
in many instances of long shipments
are much lower than the parcel post
rates, the difference in some cases
being as much as per cent in favor
of the express companies. The rates
apply only on interstate shipments.
The new tariffs were received in
Texas Saturday, and express company
officials at once began the work of ia
miliariZing themselves with the new
costs.
Under the ruling of the interstate
commerce commission, promulgated
soon after the hearing on the matter
of express rates conducted before that
court about twelve months ago, the
system Of making rates also is
changed, the former mileage basis of
rate making being abandoned and the
country being divided into number
OF. blocks" similar in effect to the
parcel post rate zones This has the
effect Of simplifying the tariffs, for
there are now but 294 rate quotations
from each district. whereas under the
old system a specific rate was quoted
to each city. town and hamlet in the
United States.
Each block is about fifteen or TWEEN
ty miles square, it is explained by eX-
press company officials There may
be a large number OF shipping points
in each block
The rates apply to first-class and
commodity shipments. AS these two
classes include practically all the bust
ness handled by the express com
panies, all shippers will receive the
benefits of the new tariffs.
Z There is a likelihood also. stated a
prominent express official Saturday
that these reductions soon may be eX-
tended to apply to shipments between
points in Texas, because of the recog-
nized attitude Of the Texas railroad
commission in applying locally impor-
tant decisions of the interstate com
merce commission, and it is believed
the Texas supervisors may take the
matter up and order express COM
panies operating in this state to ad-
interstate shipments.
