GROWTH OF RADIO
IN GERMANY SLOW:
SERVICE rs HIGH

High prices and government con-
troll hinder the. growth OF radio
among the people of Germany.
These are the chief reasons why
radio is unpopular there. writes
Vice Consul Nathaniel B. Davis, in a
report to the department OF COM
MERGE The demand for supplies
has been kept down, and manufac-
turers have not been encouraged to
produce instruments even for ex-
port
There is only one private broad
casting station in the whole coun-
try, says Davis, and that transmits
only market and exchange quota
tons. 1t is sent from Berlin to
subscribers Who pay from 1000 to
1900 marks month for the
service.
All radio communication is I'M
der the control Of the federal post
Office department, which operates
the commercial stations and makes
private installations. The license
fee for such installation runs up to
1900 marks year. That, beside
the cost Of actual installation.
Subscribers to the private broad
casting station, who do not care to
build their own sets. may rent one
from the postoffice department at a
monthly cost Of $500 marks.

Standing out among the events re- ,orted from across the water, bring ing some sense of satisfaction to those who have not lost the peculiarly ln- tense feeling regarding the kaiser, and making men gloat just bit, IS news that the kaiser, proud, naughty, self connlaisant, has been sued for sup port.
 No wife of the notorious parsonage has inflicted this Punishment upon him: no fair dame suffering from the mental anguish attendant upon hroach of promise or a assertion has taken this step. Merely the widow or the kaisers youngest son who com ,itted s1icide-shc it is who alleges that the "king of Prussia has jailed to pay for the support of herself ana her child as provided in the marriage contract based upon the laws ot the house of Hohenzollern.
  q lawyer, and of course that lawyer was obliged to interpose a defense. But how the proud head of the "un- defeated" former monarch must have dropped to his broad breast; how the ends of his formerly upstandlne mustache must have dropped; now awful must have been the feeling that seized his soul when he was forced to plead, through that willy lawyer, that his defense against the suit was founded on the allegation that the contract was invalid, that he could not be held upon it because-hecause awful thought--the laws Of the house of Hohenzollern were no longer valid, existing, binding efficaclous laws.
