BERNSTORFF ON WILHELM

Of all the public comments on the former Kaisers
book of memoirs is interesting to Americans
that of Count Won Bernstorff former ambassador to
this country. He says, in German weekly:
1.-THE Kaiser leaves just three impressions with the
reader First regret that the memoirs writ
ten second, establishment the emigres sentiment
alism which neither learned forgot anything;
third, historical inaccuracy combined with almost
feminine conception of things, placing his person al
ways in the foreground"
IAN almost feminine conception of things" Sure
ly that is the most unkind cut of all, to fallen po
tenate who has always prded himself particularly on
his virle character Bernstorff right, at that,
though the comparison doesn't quite fair to
women
AS for Bernstorffs "astonshment' at the weak
and undependabiity revealed to the world by
Wilhelm, that rather curious. Has the former
ambassador awakened to his former Kaisers real
character for the first time Or did he know it while
he was doing his masters bidding in America?
One thing seems needed to complete the picture
and close the chapter. That is estimate of Count
Won Bernstorff by Count Won Hohenzolern.

Director, Radio Institute Of America
 Constructing the variable condens- CT is the next step in the building of radio receiving set---and the hardest.
 But any reader following these in structions carefully should be able to make this part which increases the capacity of the set and giving it SC lective tuning.
 For the loose coupler receiver de- scribed in these columns a l5-plate condenser is best. The materials needed are:
 Fifteen sheets of aluminium or brass 20 of an inch thick and about four inches in diameter.
 SiXty-four small nut, no bigger than 3-16 of an inch.
 Twenty eight washers.
 Two pieces of bakelite. hard rub ber or ebonite dielectric about four inches Tn diameter.
 Four brass rods about four inches high and thin enough to take the small bolts.
 Two pieces of cardboard

of story by Henry Symonds. Pre-
vious to the showing of the picture

a husband sick and penniless and
the rent due, a mother decides to
leave her baby at the asylum. After
