THE KAISER'S SAUSAGES.
The Law Makes No Allowance for Emperors. THE other day a butcher in Potsdam was bicycling along on a Sunday morning with a parcel of sausages for the Kaiser. He was arrested for breaking the law that forbids work in the butchering trade on Sunday, and he was fined. The Magistrate Baid that the Imperial oook should give his Sunday orders in good time. ' The incident is merely mentioned here to show how Germany is touched by change and the spirit of the time. Twenty, years ago butchers could have cycled about Potsdam with sausages all Sunday and every Sunday, and no man would, have dreamt of objecting. But Germany has labour unions and factory legislation now, and . conditions of work are being impartially enforced. Law-abiding trades-unionism has made great strides in Germany; but Red Fedism is still, suppressed by the police. In regard to each matterj Germany proves herself civilised.
