SCRAMBLE FOR KAISER'S LATHER.
"When the Kaiser travelled to Munich last November the newspapers mentioned that His Majesty stopped his train for a quarter of an hour at a wayside station in order to get shaved. This important item of news was reproduced by the Nuremberg newspaper, the Fraenkische Tagespost* which added that the Associations of Loyal Military Veterans in the neighbourhood had stormed the barber for the lather which had been scraped off the Kaiser's chin, and that this had been distributed among them, while a band played the National Anthem. As this was a socialist journal the veteran associations considered themselves insulted, and brought an action against the editor. The trial was very amusing, the court joining in the laughter; but the editor,nevertheless, was fined for overstepping the bounds of fair comment.
