KAISER'S CLUB
 LIST SHRINKS

From time immemoria1 monarchs have exchanged titles, nobiliary as well as military, and have decorated each other with all sorts of orders. During the latter part of the last cen- tury, when kings simply had to be-, come a little more democratic if they wanted to remain popular. they ac- cepted membership in all sorts of clubs, including those in foreign lands. Before the war the Kaiser was British Admiral and a Russian admiral or general and the Czar and King George were also ACo1onels or generals of the German army. Of course, it's different now At the same time the Kaiser was a member of several British clubs, and foremost among those to which he belonged is the Royal Yacht Squadron, which is generally regarded as the foremost yacht club in the world. The Kaiser was also up to few days ago mem Der of the New York Yacht club. But the other day a special meeting of the members of the club was called for the purpose of dropping him from the list And he was dropped with consi derable 'kerplunk."
