Why the Kaiser Was Not Crowned

To the Editor Of The Star:
The article in Sundays Star re-
ferring to the late kaiser as Never
Given Formal Coronation" interested
me very much. for I remembered hav-
ing read at the time Of his ascension
to the throne about his disappoint-
ment and chagrin in not being
formally crowned. In addition to the
statements in the article in Sundays
paper, 1 have read another in, think
the New York Tribune, stating that
when the council of ministers was in
session making plans for a formal
coronation the kaiser entered the
council chamber and addressed one
of the ministers as my vassal," and
ordered this minister to do some err
rand for him. The minister and his
colleagues were so incensed that they
would not vote the money for the ex-
penses of the coronation nor support
the kaiser as Emperor of Germany
So that is, believe, the reason for
that part Of the statement that "Wil-
liam had foregone the pleasure of a
spectacular coronation on the score
Of expense" am glad you have pub
lished this fact, for I have often
quoted the article I previously read.
and I have thought people did not
understand or they did not believe
me. BERTHA NJ. ROBBINS.
