PRESIDENTS ADDRESS.

NEW YORK. Feb. 13.-National
International politics and economi-
cal affairs of the present time were
touched on by President Calvin
Coolidge last night in an address
at the meeting OF the National Re-
publican Club held in commemora-
tion of Abraham Lineolns birthday.
Recent disclosures and the inves-
tigation of the Teapot Dome naval
oil lease the present Mexican situa-
tion, proposed soldiers bonus, tho
tax bill before Congress, and pro
posed legislation designed to aid the
agricultural interests of the country
were the main subjects touched
upon.
Reviewing the tax situation
President Coolidge pointed out that
the income tax the people paid to
the government was considerably
smaller than the amount paid tho
state and local governments.
The President emphasized as his
opinion that the payment of a
soldiers bonus will not only result
in increased taxes but could not be
considered commensurate or an ade-
quate remuneration for patriotic
services rendered by those who
served in the World War.

INTIMATE
WILLIAMS Court

BERLIN, Feb. 13.-Count Robert
Zedlitz Trutzschler, whose memoirs
laying bare the inner history OF the
Hohenzollern court for the II years
he served Wilhelm II as court mar
shal, will probably go into history as
one of the worlds greatest diarists
His family and friends have ostra
heaped upon him by the officers
unions and other societies connected
with the old court has inspired
democratic Germany to read his book
and send its circulation up to point
which may well make William ii
and the former Crown Prince ex-
tremely envious. Their memoirs were
forgotten a few weeks after they had
left the press. But Count Zedltz
has been far more frank, and has
given a picture of the childish an
tics, selfishness and egotism of the
imperial family. especially of the ex-
Kaiser, which is regarded here as
probably true. At least the demo-
cratic masses of central Europe be-
lieve 1t is true and the royalists
must read the book to find out how
they and their friends and relatives
have Jared at the hands of the un-
usual diarist.
Count Zedlitz shows the ex-kaiser
to have been about as stupid as the
late Emperor of Russia, whose pub
lished diary caused all the world to
gasp and wonder whether he and
the late Empress ever thought of
the welfare of Russia and the Rus
sian people. Wilhelm's own men,
