Show Kaiser Makes the Biggest Book. The kaiser, who has not until now given the world assurance of being a bookmaker, has, as might be expected, ex-pected, started with a record. Tho volume which he has presented, through tho German ambassador at Washington, to President Roosevelt, bulks so big as to be beyond tho wit of man to give it natural cdnveyance, and Baron Speck von Sternburg was fain to convey It to tho White House in a vehicle. The volume stands some six feet high, and Is rather more than half as tl.lck. It further differs from all other books In-being without a title. It is, It appears, a gigantic encyclopaedia en-cyclopaedia of Germany, and from Its place In the congressional library It will tower a lofty monument of the Fatherland. |
