At battle royal took place re- cently between Monarchists and Republicans in the Reichstag Committee discussing property olaims of German potentates who. lost their crowns and coronets at the revolution.
Socialists expressed indigna- tion that 30,000,000 gold marks and 20,000 acres of valuable lands, with their castios, should already have been returned to the heirs of the Grand Duke of Mecklen burg-Strelitz; and they bitterly opposed further claims, now lodg- ed, for 6,000,000 marks more.
Especially did the Socialista ridiculo claims put forward on behalf of two mistresses of former grund dukes for pensions out of the estate.
One of these ox-grand-ducal favourites, it was averred, amid laughter, had, although she is a German, accepted a Spanish title conferred upon her by the negro Republia of Liberia.
REVELATIONS, Another courtesan had the questionable taste to threaten that in default of a grant of 5,000,000 marks she would publish certain highly romantic correspondence of a past Grand Duko of Meok- lenburg-Strelitz.
It was stated that the Mecklen- burg-Strelitz family, in order to make assurance doubly sure, bad asked that all State moneys.com- ing to them should be deposited with the Bank of England."
THE DOUGLAS-* PENNANT CASE.
PETITION TO PARLIAMENT
A fresh attempt is being made to reopen the case of Miss Violet Douglas-Pennant, who was dis- missed in 1918 from the poet of Commandant of the Women's Royal Air Force.
Parliament is being petitioned to investigate the charges that were made against her.
The petitioners hold that she was dismissed without inquiry in a manner reserved for cases of gross misconduct."
