EX-KAISER SEEKS
GERMAN PENSIONS
Wants Concessions and Prop
erty Income, But Won't
Pay Any Taxes.

BERLIN, Sept. So.-The Hohen-
zolIern attempt to retain their
German properties. their pensions
and war benefits and their requests
for additional concessions from
the republican government have
thoroughly aroused the German
Socialist press.
The radical press points out that
the former Kaiser, while demand
ing his properties and pensions
pra cticallv IN their entirety. has 10
date paid not one cent of taxes 10
the German republican government
which is already well in its fourth
wear. And it is charged. the
Kaiser and his colleagues are paid
pensions and gratuities which run
into the hundreds of millions OF
marks.
"where Is there another nation
who would permit such a condi-
tion?" asked one paper which
listed ffty-three distinct pieces OF
German property demanded by the
Kaiser and from which he asks
the complete income.
Three former princes have Just
recently filed applications with the
pension bureau for gratitudes from
the government. They are the for
mer Herzog Georg Won Meiningen.
Prince Oskar of Prussia and Crown
Prince Rupprecht OF Bavaria.
These applications brought forth
the Information that many Hohen-
zollerns, their relatives and hang
ers-on have for years received
handsome sums from the govern
ment as pensions.
Prince Joachim Albrecht or Prus-
sia, who created scene after the
war in the Hotel Adlon when
French guests refused to stand and
salute the German song 'Deutch-
land Uber Allies" is named as one
of those receiving big gratuities
from the government.
Albrecht, the radical press
charges, was never injured in war.
