that despite the months that have
passed since the revolution, the alb
dication of the emperor and the
overthrowing of 80 or more princes
and princelings, kings and what-not,
the streets of Berlin still bear an
Unfortunately large number of names
or royalty.
He cites a few, such a Kaiser
Wilhelm street, a Koenig, a Fried
rich. a Karl, Prince Louis Ferdi-
nand, Prince and Princess street.
The names of former military
leaders and generals should go
also, he argues, citing such streets
as Zieten, Bluecher, Gneisenau,
Scharnhorst, Moltke and Others.
He objects also to the naming of
streets after the military, such as
the Dragoner, (dragoons) and the
Jaeger Cavalry, in these piping
days of revolution and republic.
