The German Government has so many castles on its hands that it does not know what to do with them. Some of the castles and palaces in Potsdam and Berlin, formerly occupied by the Eoyal family, have been converted into museums and others into public buildings. To find some use for those in remote parts of Germany which served as plavgrounds for the nobility is z says a Berlin correspondent, quite another problem. In Bavaria, East Prussia, and other parts ot the country where the kings, . dukes, and Dnnces had vast possessions prior to the revolution of 1918, there are numerous castles surrounded by firea„ estates. It is estimated that the cxKaiser owned 40 castles, most ot which are State property. The Government would be glad to sell these if buyers could be found.
