Controversy about changes in marital relationship continues with unabated vlgor. It is considered smart here to emulate everything American, and the American ex- pertinent iii eompanionate marri- age is no exception. But, generally speaking. Germany is still mans country, and the former kaiser's maxim hat womans sphere should be confined to the three Ks-Kinder. Kueche and Kirche (ehildren. kitchen and church) is dying hard.

ROYALESTS CONTRIBUTE
 TO FUND FOR WILHELM
By LOUIS p. LOCHNER GA. ?. Correspondent

BERLIN, Jan. 5. Friends of for mer Emperor Wilhelm II are work ing throughout Germany to raise fund to be known as the Kaiser dank which will be presented to him on his roth birthday, January .27. With this fund he will be able to satisfy the numerous re- quests for financial assistance that are said to reach him daily.
 A special N"Verein Kaiserdank' has been created for the purpose. by Dr. Kracker von Schwartzen- feldt, former German minister to Colombia. The treasurer is Lieut. General Richard Waechter, vice chairman of the Federation of For mer Officers. Every contributor is assured that his name will be presented to the former monarch on his seventieth birthday.
 In a printed Appeal which is being circulated privately among the mcnarchists in Germany, at tention is called to the fact that in event of victory in the World War the ex-kaiser's birthday would have been celebrated as a nation- al holiday" The appeal then continues
 Many faithful Germans consid- CT that now, more than ever, if is their duty toward German honor and dignity to show their grati- tude toward a monarch who for decades, from early morning until late evening, thought, worked and worried solely for our fatherland, yet upon whose head veritable mountains of calumny and defama- tion descend daily.
 "A birthday cheer should, for a while at least, make him forget his sorrow. But how can we whc are impoverished supply it? We know that the kaiser's greatest de- light consists in helping others. in bringing happiness to compa- triots in need. Accordingly, the 'Verein' Kaiserdank, which desires in the spirit of the great Hohen- zollern princes to establish com munity of interest of the German people through practical manifes- tations of brotherly love, has de- vised the plan of establishing free berths in hospitals and free board for recuperation in rural districts distribution of both to be made by the kaiser on his seventieth birth day"
 All good Germans in whom gratitude is not yet dead" are in- vited to become members of the Verein, which aims especially to help those who were impoverished through war and imitation. Many of these are dying a slow death amid heart-rending material and spiritual poverty" the Appeal dis closes.
