Washington, July 14.-Unconfirmed
rumors that the German kaiser had
abdicated in favor of his sixth son,
Prince Joachim, brought little response
from government officials today
While the tension is growing in the
international political situation In
Germany IL is generally regarded as
not increasing and is not believed to
have reached a stage where the throne
is threatened The source of the ru.
mors is Amsterdam where they we're
circulated yesterday.
There is no doubt, however, that the
Berlin situation is serious. Reform
lists, who are in control of the reich
stag, refuse to vote on any bill until
election reforms are granted
Prince JodchiiA is the most popular
member Of the royal family. He is
even more popular chan the crown
prince. He was wounded IN action late
in 1914 and was recently reported to
have been called to Berlin with the
crown prince and where it is thought
he refused to agree to the reforms de-
manded by the reichstag.

certain small law firms and real estate

Another matter in which Mr.. Par
ker has asked the cooperation Of all

the suppression of liquor sale during

much trouble to local authority in

vexatious TO federal afficers.
