BERLIN
Former Emperor Plans to Write at Least Two More Books, He Declares.

Berlin, Dec. 1S-Former Emperor William II is so happy to be a success at last as an author that he has confided to friends that he will write at least two more books. His first literary endeavor, which appeared under the title ''The Kaiser's Memoirs" was a failure. While the publishers price of the book was two dollars, it can be bought now from any street vendor rummage book shop for twelve cents.
 The sale of his recent autobiographical work Pages from My Life, 1S59-1SSS" has exceeded all expectations. In it he speaks with great candor of his relations with his English mother. his father and his grandfather Elm peror William I, and corroborates the theory that his childhood experiences embittered him against England and the whole world.
 Leading book sellers report that they have been unable to supply the demand, as many copies are being sent to the United States. The ex-Kaiser is said to be extremely proud of his success and will continue the story of his life in the near future.

 Iron Mask is Strenuously Op- posed.

Paris Dec. 1s-Plans of the French govern ment to sell the island of Ste. Marguerite where the Man in the Iron Mask" was in- prisoned for ten years. have met with much antagonsm.
 The report that British capital was planning to turn the island into a model winter resort has brought protestations from every part of the Riviera. The district Is already object ing to the numerous subdivisions financed by foreign capital.

 It is reported that the French government has been offered large sum for the island, but newspapers and societies are fighting the proposed deal.

 But your Majesty.", he remonstrated. "The protocol! Has your Majesty thought Of that?" By the ''protocol" he meant the agreement be- tween powers to protect visiting dignitaries against any situation on which might be re- garded as unworthy of their position.
 Weren't you assigned to guide King AL phonse about Paris?" queried the Queen.

ENJOY NEGRO ENTERTAINMENT.

The French craze for Negro entertainment shows no sign of abating. Negro singing Is still considered very chic in cabarets and Ne gro jazz bands from America are more in de- mand than ever. Cartoonists depicting the Charleston" and the Black Bottom" always use Negro as the principal dancer, although his partner is more than likely Caucasian.
 At the Folies Bergere, the best known of the music halls, the Negro dancer, Josephine Baker, continues to be the brightest of all the stars. The Foes recently obtained an eXten- sion of her contract that will keep her at their theater until the spring of 1925 Meanwhile she has opened a night club of her own, where the clientele so far is as smart as any to be found in Paris She hired Negro nanny and put her in the kitchen to teach the cos- mopolitan patronage how batter cakes and syrup are served out on the banks of the Mississippi.

DOES NOT LIKE PROHIBITION.

The first town in modern Germany to ex- perience the sensation of being dry does not like prohibition. Before the trial at Hesselfelde of fourteen members of the republican order Reichsbanner for participation in 8 shooting affray, the court invoked dead letter ordi- nance passed in 1850 which stipulated that in case of threatened public disturbance the sa- looms might be closed.
 Crowds poured into the town for the trial The court thereupon prohibited the sale of all liquor. The lid remained clamped down for the six days that the trial lasted.

THE HEIGHT OF BRAVERY.

The height of bravery in France these days Is to ask for raise.
 Since July, when the Poncare government set out to save the franc. there have been few boosts in salary wages for any Frenchman, yet the cost of living has risen steadily in the four and more months that have intervened. Government employees have sent up one cry of distress after another. but the bantam like little fighting Premier from Bar le Due has turned down every proposal for higher pay. His lead has been followed by the industrials, the shopkeepers and all other employers
 Now that the franc has been saved-or re- stored to health, at least-the prospect of in- creased pay for salaried folk seems slighter

The shepherds of the Eosges want the world to quit calling their dogs Asatian Wolf hounds. The shepherds are proud of the fact that the dogs are Alsatan and readily admit that they are hounds. But the mere sugges- tion that wolves are among even the remote ancestors of the faithful dogs Is denied.
 There are still wolves in the blue Alsatian mountains, lots of them. They do not frater- nize with the wolf hounds" however
 The shepherds contend there isn't enough love between the two to make a misalliance even possible.
