Kaiserlicher Liquidated

It is 18 years since Wilhelm II, All Highest Kaiser and War Lord, abdicated as German Emperor, but he was still last week Commodore of the Kaiserlicher Yacht Club which he founded 49 years ago, just before his accession to the Throne. It placed the Kiel Regatta on a par of nautical swankness with Britain's Cowes Regatta. Last winter German socialites of the Kaiserlicher Club nearly provoked the Nazi brownshirt proletariat of Kiel to riot by announcing they would celebrate Jan. 27 the birthday of Der Kaiser. A clash was averted. The Kaiserlichers dined and roared "Hoch der Kaiser!", but Storm Troops in Kiel then and there resolved to destroy a Club whose motto did not seem to be "Heil Hitler!" A message from Kiel to Doom bleakly informed Commodore Wilhelm Hohenzollern that his Kaiserlicher Club had just been dissolved, its handsome premises turned over to officers of the Nazi Navy.
