Plans For Kaiser's Jubilee.

New York Times 100 years ago today, June 7, 1913:
All Germany Is Planning Celebrations, Some Highly Original.
By Marconi Transatlantic Wireless Telegraph to The New York Times.
    BERLIN, June 6.— The Kaiser's popularity is attested by the way in which the whole population is preparing to celebrate his silver jubilee.
    The unofficial, spontaneous celebrations will far outnumber those of an official character. There is no district, village, class, or association which has not preparations underway.
    Some of the methods of celebration are original. A school in Cassel will organize a thirty-mile walking race. A Munich horticultural organization proposes to decorate a hillside with the inscription "W.R. et I.," ("Wilhelm Rex et Imperator,") made of huge geraniums. Various associations of "return to Nature" enthusiasts will recognize the occasion. The simple life idea has lately made great progress, especially in South Germany, and on June 16 the enthusiasts of Regensburg will have a great meeting in the forest, at which all will appear in their customary garb, resembling an abbreviated bathing dress.
    One of the more valuable forms of celebration will be the compilation of a monumental work on "Social Culture During Wilhelm II.'s Reign." Sixty men of science and heads of State departments have undertaken to produce the book.
