PLEASURE AND BUSINESS

Some business pleasant for the kaiser seems
to be in the making. According to the German
genealogical sharps, war has wiped out 27O mem
bers of families Of counts, 633 of baronial fami-
lies, 843 of "old noble" families and 1886 OF the
'patent" nobility. With the Hohenzollern, Hin
denburg, Won Tirpitz, Ludendorf and such fami-
lies intact, owing to wars inability to apply the
absent treatment, it will be mere pleasant pastime
for the kaiser to fill these hundreds Of vacancies
in the lower families of divine rights, even if the
stork refuses to get buster, or goes on a strike.
For Bill to make barons, counts and patent"
mobiles is as easy as making doughnuts Nay,
really, it's easier. You have to know what goes
into a doughnut, and most any old sort Of ingre-
dient will make a good enough baron, count or
"patent"
These vacancies must be great convenience
to Wilhelm, too. There must be a lot of Germans
actually fighting who are expecting to be made
barons, counts and SUCH Anyhow, there's no
danger Of German nobility running short. The
kaiser can grind 'em out as he does his money,
and make the folks take 'em at face value.
