Poetic Justice!

The first four letters of the name Amerongen, which designates the moated castle in Holland where the former Kaiser Wilhelm II is observing the twilight of the Hohenzollerns as rulers, compose the French word meaning bitter. One might find in this a fitting reply to the name of the place where, under Frederick the Great, Hohenzollernlsm began its rampant career. —This - Potsdam- castle,- with- it s French elegance, Voltaire associations and German mechanism for raising the dinner table, the monarch named in French “Sans-Soucl,” (without care) and for nearly two centuries it has shone forth a brilliant example of Frussiaruimpertinence. But now tho Hohenzollern has his cares, and nd' doubt they are bitter.
