Kaiser May Lose A Yacht.

New York Times 100 years ago today, April 26, 1913:
Government Fears Hostile Vote on $2,500,000 Appropriation.
    BERLIN, April 25.— The risk of the rejection by the Imperial Parliament of an appropriation of $2,500,000 to build a new yacht for Emperor William is so great that an urgent summons has been sent to all "loyal" Deputies to be present in force when the matter comes up for debate.
    The Socialists, it is understood, intend to demand a rollcall on the third reading of the appropriation, and the Poles, the Danes, the Alsatians and many of the Southern German members of the Clerical Centre Party have announced their intention of voting against the expenditure.
    It is pointed out by the Government that only in the event of a full House being assembled can the passage of the appropriation be assured.
