EX-KAISER’S PROPERTY
SUCCESSFUL CLAIM. THE‘BIGGEST IN HISTORY. BY CABLE—PRESS ASSOCIATION—COPYRIGHT. (Received Sept. 8, 1.40 p.m.) LONDON, Sept. 7. The Daily Chronicle’s Berlin correspondent states that the ex-Kaiser is claiming fifty -millions sterling, which he says, represents the value of property Which he formerly owned throughout Germany. The dispute Iras been proceeding for a long time. The Prussian Government rejected his claims, whereupon the ex-Kaiser resorted to law. The claim was upheld on the grounds that until 1918 the Kaiser paid for the maintenance oi his properties out of the privy purse. When the Prussian Parliament assembles ili a few weeks’ time it will be asked to sanction an agreement whereby the properties will he handed over to him. This, the biggest property claim in history, includes twenty palaces, castles and other royal residences, fifty-one smaller castles and the land attached thereto, twen-ty-four palatial residences in the heart of Berlin, fifty-two large houses and villas a.t Potsdam, five opera houses in different parts of Prussia, and: fourteen extensive building sites. —Aus.-N.Z.
